21、
Congratulations! You are the Time magazine ‘Person of the Year’.
The annual honor for 2006 went to anyone that uses or creates content on the Internet. The magazine designed special cover — a white keyboard with a mirror for a computer screen where buyers can see their reflection- for the issue, reflecting the importance of user-generated(使用者自创) Internet content as a driving force in the modem world.
User-generated content on websites such as YouTube has proved the latest twist(转折) in the Internet revolution. YouTube has attracted millions of users and earned its founders $ US1.65 billion when it was bought by Google earlier this year.
Normally, the magazine describes its person of the year not necessarily as an honor, but as ‘the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or for ill, and represented what was important about the year’. Mr. Stengel said in an interview that to select the ‘Person of the Year’ is to look for someone who’s a symbol.
The magazine did cite(提名) 26 ‘People Who Mattered,’ from Chinese President Hu Jintao to a group of three persons that included: U.S. President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield.
It was not the first time that the magazine went away from naming an actual person for its ‘Person of the Year’. In 1966, the 25-and-under generation was cited; in 1975, American women were named; and in 1982, the computer was chosen.
In 2005, the winners were Bill and Melinda Gates and rock star Bono, who were cited for their charitable(慈善的) work aimed at reducing global poverty and improving world health.
