comes early in the film.
一开片就贡献了本片最燃的时刻之一。
A terrorist attack has upended the kingdom of Wakanda.

TIME’s annual list of the world’s most influential people is a designation of individuals whose time, in our estimation, is now.

The TIME 100 isn’t a measure of power, though many on the list wield it.
这个名单不是在衡量权力的大小，尽管榜单上很多人都在使用权力。
Nor is it a collection of milestones accumulated.
也不是一堆里程碑事件的集合。
As our staff considers candidates, we often find ourselves wowed by those with stunning lifetime achievements.
我们的员工在考虑人选的时候，每每发现我们总是被那些生平成就斐然的人所折服。
But editorial director Dan Macsai, maestro of the TIME 100, brings us back to the key question: Was this their year?
但编辑主任丹·麦克西，百大人物这一称号背后的大师，带我们回到了一个关键的问题：今年是他们的绽放之年吗?
This has been a year like few others in the two decades since the TIME 100 began.
时代百大人物称号诞生的二十年以来，很少出现今年这样的情况。
Citing the White House’s more hostile posture toward China, North Korea and Iran,

Amid a decided global tilt toward authoritarianism,

Accordingly, the 2018 TIME 100 recognizes leaders ranging from Donald Trump to Kim Jong Un—

of whom the writer we chose, North Korean defector Hyeonseo Lee, calls “the most dangerous person on the planet.”

In other ways, the TIME 100, always a reflection of its moment, looks quite different than in the past.
从其他方面来看，本年度的时代百大人物，这一榜单一贯注重的都是反映当下，和以往有了很大的不同。
Influence increasingly knows no single zip code and no minimum age.
今年，我们考察的影响力已经越来越不局限于单一的地区，也越来越不局限于年龄了。

在今年的名单上，40岁以下的人选达到了前所未有的45人之多，其中包括史上最年轻的设计师、14岁的演员米莉·鲍比·布朗，
and a common theme in the tributes is how much we can learn from them.
而贯穿今年的致敬名单的一个共同主题是我们能从他们身上学到什么。

“Her elder becomes her student.”
“她的长辈也成了她的学生。”
