如果川普(Donald Trump)被選為時代雜誌(TIME)「年度風雲人物」,你怎麼看?

若伊斯蘭國(ISIS)領袖,巴格達迪(Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi)獲選,你又怎麼看呢?

為什麼我會這樣問?因為川普、巴格達迪都入圍了時代「年度風雲人物」的最後八強。

時代雜誌解釋,「風雲人物」的標準,是以該人物對新聞及大眾生活的影響力而選的,這影響不論是好是壞,且代表了該年度最重要的事件。

這確有先例:1938年希特勒就被選為「年度風雲人物」,而隔年史達林獲選。

按字母順序排列,後選人有:

遜尼派極端組織「伊斯蘭國」(ISIS)領導者,阿布•貝克爾•巴格達迪,他啟發和推動了全球各地的恐怖攻擊。

「黑人的命也是命」社運人士,他們為黑人爭取了公民權利,特別是為那些遭受警察不義對待的人士。

入圍者還有變性人詹納(Caitlyn Jenner),他帶出了很多關於性別認同的討論,且為LGBT人士爭取權益。

共乘應用程式「優步」(Uber)行政總裁卡蘭尼克(Travis Kalanick),他開創了共享經濟。

德國總理梅克爾(Angela Merkel)領導歐元區渡過經濟低谷,對歐洲難民危機的做法也值得效尤。

俄羅斯總統普丁(Vladimir Putin),俄羅斯在烏克蘭的軍事活動,及打擊ISIS的行動,取得了今年不少頭條。

伊朗總統哈桑•魯哈尼(Hassan Rouhani)與西方達成了核協議,解除伊朗受經濟制裁的傷害。

壓軸的是,美國共和黨總統候選人,種族主義大嘴巴-川普(Donald Trump),他只要一開口,就成頭條。

你覺得誰才是今年的風雲人物呢?留言告訴我們吧!

英文原文:

How would you feel if Donald Trump was named Time’s “Person of the Year”? 

How about ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi?  (Aboo Ba-car Al-Bag-dahdi)

Well, Trump, Al-Baghdadi, and six others candidates have been announced. 

Time describes the criterion for their “Person of the Year” as “the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or ill, and embodied what was important about the year.”

Heck, they named Hitler “Person of the Year” in 1938 and chose Stalin the following year. 

So in alphabetical order, here are the nominees:

Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, The leader of Daesh, who has inspired and orchestrated terror attacks around the globe. 

The Black Lives Matter activists, who've led the fight for the civil rights of black Americans, particularly those who’ve been treated unjustly by police. 

Another candidate is Caitlyn Jenner, whose coming out as a transgender woman has opened up new conversations on gender identity and LGBT rights. 

Travis Kalanick, the CEO of UBER, has made a big impact on what’s known as the sharing economy.

German chancellor Angela Merkel has held down the Eurozone through tough economic times and led by example in Europe’s refugee crises. 

Vladimir Putin, has made headlines this year for Russia’s military activity in Ukraine as well as their role in the fight against ISIS.

Hassan Rouhani, president of Iran, reached a nuclear deal with the West to help lift sanctions that have hurt his country’s economy. 

And last up, we have Donald Trump, the loudmouth-racist Republican frontrunner who makes headlines every time he opens his mouth. 

So that’s it! Who do you think will be chosen? Leave your vote in the comments.
