盤點年改變世界的幾位女性
The majority of the world's most powerful and influential positions remain in men's hands. But the imbalance is gradually tilting -- and it shows. In 2015, some of the biggest news and successes resulted from the actions of women. Here are the new faces who inspired, defied, guided or moved the world.
男性掌握着這個世界絕大多數的權力，他們擔任有影響力的職位，但如今這種不平衡正在逐漸傾斜。在2015年，一些重大的新聞及成功源自於女性的作爲。以下幾位就是鼓舞、反抗、引領乃至推動當今世界的現代女性。Loretta Lynch
洛雷塔·林奇
Traditionally, the top U.S. law-enforcement official is not well-known outside of the United States, but Attorney General Loretta Lynch not only made headlines around the world, she also brought a particular kind of change that billions of people had yearned for but thought was out of reach.
一般來說，美國最高執法官員在國外並不知名，但總檢察長洛雷塔·林奇不僅佔據了世界各地的頭條新聞，她還帶來了一個數十億人都希冀卻遙不可及的改變。
Lynch stunned the world by taking on the entrenched, corrupt officials of FIFA, the governing body of the world's most popular sport, soccer. She had the guts to do what nobody else had dared. FIFA officials, she declared, had engaged in "rampant, systematic and deep-rooted" corruption, and it was time to "bring wrongdoers to justice."
林奇因對世界上最受歡迎的運動管理機構--國際足聯根深蒂固的貪污腐敗官員有所行動而一鳴驚人。她有膽量爲他人所不敢爲。她宣佈，國際足聯官員曾參與“猖獗的、系統化的、根深蒂固的”腐敗活動，我們是時候將違法者繩之於法了！Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
埃倫·約翰遜·瑟利夫
When the Ebola epidemic took on alarming proportions in West Africa, it was tough for Liberia, one of the epicenters of the crisis.
當埃博拉疫情肆虐西非時，這對於疫情危機中心之一的利比里亞而言，是一個極其艱難的時期。Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the leader of Liberia, pleaded for international help. One reason the world responded is because the indefatigable President has international moral stature. She played a key role in guiding her country after brutal civil wars and received the Nobel Peace Prize for her effort.
埃倫·約翰遜·瑟利夫，利比里亞領導人，呼籲國際援助。國際社會予以支援的原因之一是因爲這位打不垮的總統擁有極高的國際道德聲譽。在殘酷的內戰後，她引領國家發揮了關鍵作用，並因其努力獲得了諾貝爾和平獎。Johnson Sirleaf not only helped bring an end to the epidemic, she did something just as remarkable: She revealed her emotions and admitted her faults. When it was all over she said she had been afraid, and conceded she had made big mistakes as a result of her fear. Then she showed gratitude. Instead of collecting laurels, she thanked all the people and countries who made victory against Ebola possible.
約翰遜·瑟利夫不僅努力結束疫情，還做了一件同樣卓著的事：她表露了自己的情緒，並承認自己的缺點。當一切都結束後，她說，她一直都很害怕，並承認因其恐懼而犯了很大的錯誤。隨後，她表現出感激之情。她感謝所有與埃博拉疫情鬥爭中取得勝利的人民和國家。Aung San Suu Kyi
昂山素季
The iconic Burmese leader, also a Nobel Peace Prize winner, put the skeptics and the cynics to shame. To those who said nonviolent resistance could not defeat a vicious armed opponent, she seemed to say "just watch."
緬甸標誌性的領導人，同時也是諾貝爾和平獎得主，她讓懷疑和憤世嫉俗者汗顏。對於那些表示非暴力抵抗不可能擊敗惡性武裝對手的人，她似乎在說：“只要看着就好。”Following the footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., she endured a long struggle against the ruthless military rulers of Myanmar. She enlisted international support for economic sanctions that helped persuade the generals to loosen their grip, leading to elections in 2015 and an overwhelming victory for her National League for Democracy. She remains a global icon of peaceful resistance.
繼聖雄甘地和牧師馬丁·路德·金的腳步，她與緬甸殘酷的軍事統治者進行了長期的鬥爭。她說服軍事大將放松管制，並向國際社會請求經濟制裁以獲得國際支持，在2015年的選舉中，她爲全國民主聯盟取得了壓倒性的勝利。她是和平抵抗的全球偶像。Tu Youyou
屠呦呦
It's a tough challenge to find a single human being who may be responsible for saving as many lives. The Chinese pharmacologist Tu Youyou, one of three winners of this year's Nobel Prize for Medicine, took an unconventional route in attacking one of the world's biggest killers, malaria.
一個人挽救大多數人的生命，這是一項巨大的挑戰。中國藥理學家屠呦呦，今年諾貝爾醫學獎的三位獲獎者之一，採取了非常規的方式，在攻擊世界上最大的瘧疾殺手方面取得了巨大成功。Research into ancient Chinese texts led her to discover the compounds that help prevent a disease that still kills about half a million people every year, transmitted by mosquitoes in water-logged jungles. The discovery has resulted in medication that has saved millions of lives.
通過研究中國古籍，屠呦呦發現了抗瘧有效化合物。瘧疾通過積水叢林的蚊蟲傳播，每年奪走大約50萬人的生命。這一發現挽救了數百萬人的生命。
