2011年度逝世七大名人盘点

【Editor】It's getting towards the end of the year and a wide variety of reviews and analysis of 2011 have been released. Time magazine has made up to 54 categories, while not to be outdone, Los Angeles Times also published more than 20 catalogs. Not to mention the other medias. It seems that we have got a phobia, that the time would be just dreamed away without all these reviews and analysis. Top 5? Top 10? Top 100? So what?! Actually, all of them might just make no sense to us. However, here is a list of the top 7 notable deaths of 2011 for you. What we really wish is that everyone, by finishing reading this list, will have a deeper and clearer understanding on life and living. "All the world's a stage," as Shakespeare said, "and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances."

【编辑语】又近岁末，各式各样的年终盘点纷纷出炉，《时代周刊》的盘点多达54类，《洛杉矶时报》也不甘示弱，推出了二十多类的盘点，更勿论其它各色大小媒体。我们似乎都得了“年终盘点症”，仿佛没有了这些年末盘点，这一年就只是虚度。五大？十大？百大？看完热闹之后，这些数字对我们来说到底还有什么意义呢？然而，在这里小编还是为您准备了一份在2011年逝世的七大名人的名单。我们希望的是，在看完这样一份名单之后，我们能够对生命和生活有更清晰的认识。莎翁说过，“世界即舞台，男男女女皆为演员，有登场也必有退场。”
