《时代》杂志评选小环保家格蕾塔·桑伯格为年度风云人物
16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg has been named Time Magazine's 2019 Person of the Year. Thunberg was first recognized for her activism in 2018 when she began to spend her school days protesting in front of the Swedish parliament building. She soon gained the support of other students and formed a student strike campaign called "Fridays for Future". Since then, she has challenged world leaders to reduce carbon emissions at several United Nations (UN) conferences. Time announced their decision to name her their Person of the Year on Wednesday. She is the youngest person ever to be chosen.
16岁的瑞典小环保家格蕾塔·桑伯格被《时代》杂志评为2019年度风云人物。2018年,当退学后的桑伯格开始在瑞典议会大厦前抗议的时候,她的激进主义首次得到了人们的认可。她很快获得了其他同学们的支持,并组织了一场名为“星期五为未来”的学生罢课活动。自那以后,关于减少碳排放的问题,她在几次联合国会议上“声讨”世界领导人。《时代》杂志周三宣布,他们决定选她为年度风云人物。她是有史以来被选中的人当中年龄最小的。
