奧巴馬再度當選《時代》週刊年度人物
PRESIDENT Barack Obama has been named Time magazine's "Person of the Year" for 2012.
美國總統巴拉克•奧巴馬已經被提名爲《時代》週刊2012年“年度人物”。"We are in the midst of historic cultural and demographic changes, and Obama is both the symbol and in some ways the architect of this new America," Rick Stengel, Time's editor, told NBC where he announced the selection yesterday.
“我們正處在歷史文化和人口特徵的變化中，而奧巴馬既是這種象徵，在某些方面也是美國新面貌的構建者，”瑞克斯坦格爾，《時代》雜誌編輯，昨天宣佈這一選擇時他告訴NBC。The short list for the honor included Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager shot in the head for advocating for girls' education.
提名這一殊榮的簡短名單還有Malala Yousafzai，爲提倡女童教育而頭部被槍擊中的巴基斯坦少年。
It also included Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Italian physicist Fabiola Giannati.
它還包括埃及總統Mohammed Morsi，蘋果公司首席執行官蒂姆•庫克和意大利物理學家Fabiola Giannati。Obama also received the honor in 2008, when he was President-elect.
奧巴馬在他2008年當選總統時也獲得該項榮譽。In an interview with Time, Obama said his re-election "may have been more satisfying a win than 2008."
在《時代》雜誌的一次採訪中，奧巴馬說他的連任“可能是一場比2008年更令人滿意的勝利。”"We've gone through a very difficult time," he said.
“我們經歷了一段非常困難的時期，”他說。"The American people have rightly been frustrated at the pace of change, and the economy is still struggling, and this president we elected is imperfect, and yet, despite all that, this is who we want to be. That's a good thing."
“美國人民已經在變化的步伐中感到沮喪，經濟仍在掙扎，我們選出的這個總統是不完美的，但是，儘管這樣，這是我們想要成爲的人。這是件好事。”Last year, Time honored "The Protester," citing dissent across the Middle East that spread to Europe and the United States, saying the demonstrations reshaped global politics.
去年， 《時代》選的是“抗議者”，在整個中東表達抗議，繼而蔓延到歐洲和美國，說示威活動重塑了全球政治。Time's "Person of the Year" is the person or thing that has most influenced the culture and the news during the past year, for good or for ill.
《時代》的“年度人物”是一個人或一件事，在過去一年最大地影響了文化和新聞，或好或壞。Previous winners have included Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, Bono and President George W. Bush.
之前的獲獎者包括美聯儲主席本•伯南克、波諾和總統喬治•w•布什。
