Time magazine named Donald Trump its “Person of the Year” on Wednesday. The magazine called him “President of the Divided States of America” on its cover.
本周三，時代雜志提名唐納德·特朗普為“年度人物”。時代雜志在其封面稱其為“分裂的美國總統(tǒng)”。
Trump is the president-elect. He will take office on January 20, 2017.
特朗普是當選總統(tǒng)。他將在2017年1月20日上任。
The magazine calls the U.S. “the Divided States” in part because Trump did not win the most votes in the election. He did, however, easily win enough electoral votes to defeat Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
該雜志稱美國為“分裂的州”，一方面是因為特朗普并沒有贏得大部分選票。盡管他很容易贏得了足夠的選票去擊敗民主黨希拉里·克林頓。
In its story about selecting President-elect Trump, the magazine said that he won the presidency by inspiring “new levels of anger and fear within his country.”

It said Wednesday that American presidents become “Person of the Year” about half the time in election years.

The last time someone other than a U.S. president won the title in an election year was 1996. That year, AIDS researcher David Ho won.
繼上次除了美國總統(tǒng)之外贏得該頭銜人物的時間是1996年，艾滋病研究員大衛(wèi)·何贏得該頭銜。
Time magazine ran its first “Man of the Year” issue in 1928. That year, the honors went to airplane pilot Charles Lindbergh.

被提名為封面人物的有約瑟夫·斯大林、鄧小平、和溫斯頓·丘吉爾。去年，德國總理安格拉•默克爾贏得了“年度人物”。

但是時代雜志并不是總是僅僅只提名一個人，甚至有時根本就不是一個人類。在1988年，該雜志提名了瀕危的地球為年度人物。并且在1975年，提名了美國女人們?yōu)槟甓热宋铩?br /> The choice of Trump had both his supporters and detractors talking on social media. “Person of the Year” was one of the top trending topics on Wednesday.
