Time magazine on Wednesday named German Chancellor Angela Merkel as its person of the year for 2015, hailing her leadership during debt and refugee crises that threatened to tear the European Union apart.
当地时间12月9日,德国总理安格拉·默克尔当选(美国)《时代》杂志2015年度人物,《时代》称赞默克尔处理欧洲债务危机和难民危机的表现。而这两项危机险些致欧盟分裂。
In power for a decade at the helm of Europe's biggest economy, the world's most powerful woman beat runners-up, the leader of the Islamic State extremist group and Donald Trump as Time's dominant personality of the year.
执掌欧洲最大经济体十年的默克尔,作为全球最有权势的女性,在《时代》周刊的评选中,力压“伊斯兰国(IS)”极端组织头目和特朗普当选。
"For asking more of her country than most politicians would dare, for standing firm against tyranny as well as expedience and for providing steadfast moral leadership in a world where it is in short supply, Angela Merkel is Time's Person of the Year," wrote editor Nancy Gibbs.
《时代》主编南希·吉布斯评价称:“因为她比大多数政客更加勇于对她的国家提出要求;因为她对抗暴政与私利的坚定立场;因为她表现出的坚定的道德领导力,这正是这个世界所缺乏的;安格拉·默克尔因此当选2015年《时代》年度人物。”
The person of the year accolade acknowledges what the magazine considers to be the world's biggest newsmaker, or influential mover.
该杂志年度风云人物的评选标准是“最有资讯性”或“最有影响力”。
Time magazine lauded Merkel as the indispensable player in managing the prospect of Greek bankruptcy, and the migrant and refugee crisis.
《时代》杂志称赞默克尔在希腊危机和难民危机中扮演了“不可或缺”的角色。
Since the tradition began in 1927, Merkel is only the fourth woman to win. Last year, healthcare workers treating the Ebola epidemic were honored. In 2013, it was Pope Francis. US President Barack Obama has won twice.
自1927年开始评选以来,默克尔是第四位登顶的女性。去年的获得者为在非洲抗击埃博拉传染病的医疗人员,2013年的获得者为教皇方济各。美国总统奥巴马曾两次被评选为年度风云人物。
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of the IS extremist group, Republican presidential candidate Trump, America's Black Lives Matter activists and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani were named by Time as runners up.
“伊斯兰国(IS)”极端组织头目巴格达迪、美国共和党总统候选人特朗普、美国黑人权利运动活动家们以及伊朗总统鲁哈尼也在今年的《时代》人物决选名单中。
