The woman kissed by a sailor in an iconic photograph marking the end of World War Two has died aged 92.
在标志着二战结束的经典照片中，那名被身旁水手拥吻的女子于日前辞世，享年92岁。
Greta Zimmer Friedman died of pneumonia at a hospital in Richmond, Virginia, her son Joshua Friedman said.
据她的儿子约书亚·弗里德曼表示，格里塔·齐默·弗里德曼是在弗吉尼亚里士满一家医院因肺炎病逝的。
Ms Friedman was a 21-year-old dental assistant when she was grabbed and kissed by George Mendonsa in New York's Times Square on 14 August 1945.
1945年8月14日，在纽约时代广场被乔治·曼多萨拥吻的弗里德曼，当时年仅21岁，是个牙医助理。
The photo of that moment became one of the enduring images of the VJ Day celebrations in the US.
记录那一刻的那张照片，成为了美国纪念对日战争胜利日的永久标志。
It was originally published as part of a round-up of celebration pictures in Life magazine.
该照片最开始在《生活》杂志发表，是庆祝照片综合摘要的一部分。
Ms Friedman herself said she was not even aware of the photo until the 1960s when she saw a book by the man who took the photo, renowned photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt.
弗里德曼女士本人表示，直到上世纪60年代她看到著名摄影家阿尔弗雷德·艾森施泰特（照片拍摄者）的书，她才知道存在着这么一张照片。
There were a number of people who claimed to be the sailor and the nurse in the photo and it was not until the 1980s that they were confirmed to be Ms Friedman and Mr Mendonsa.
过去曾有无数人自称是照片中的水手和护士，直到20世纪80年代才确认两人真正的身份--弗里德曼女士和曼多萨先生。
Although the picture captures the pair in a tight embrace, they did not actually know each other.
尽管照片抓拍到两人紧紧相拥，然而事实上他们互不相识。
Mr Mendonsa was actually at the time on a date with his future wife who can be seen smiling in some of the photos.
曼多萨先生当时正与后来成为妻子的女子约会，在其他照片中可以看到她在微笑。
"It wasn't much of a kiss," Ms Friedman recalled, in an interview with the Veterans' History Project in 2005. "It was just somebody celebrating. It wasn't a romantic event."
弗里德曼女士在2005年的《老兵历史项目》中接受采访时回忆道：“那其实算不上真正的吻。那只是人们在庆祝，并不是什么浪漫的事。”
