“It's a great honor,” the president-elect said on NBC's “Today” show on Wednesday morning. “It means a lot, and it's a very important magazine, and I've been lucky enough to be on the cover many times this year — and last year. But I consider this a very, very great honor.”
周三，美國當選總統(tǒng)候選人（特朗普）在美國全國廣播公司（NBC）播出的《今日秀》中表示：“非常榮幸，這對我意味著很多，這是一本非常重要的雜志，我非常幸運能夠在今年和去年多次出現(xiàn)在雜志的封面上。”

Trump has long been obsessed with having his face on the cover of magazines, something that happened more and more often as he won early polls, then Republican primaries, then the nomination, then the presidency. Trump keeps stacks of these magazines in his office and jokes that he doesn’t have time to read all of them because there are so many.
特朗普一直癡迷于登上各大報刊的封面，在他贏得早期選票之時，這種情況發(fā)生得越來越頻繁，隨后是共和黨初選，緊接著提名，最后是總統(tǒng)。特朗普把這些雜志堆在辦公室，并開玩笑說他沒有時間看完所有的雜志，因為實在是太多了。

Although the magazine featured Trump several times on its cover, the magazine passed on naming him “Person of the Year” in 2015. Instead, it selected German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whom the magazine credited with opening her nation’s border to hundreds of thousands of refugees and managing Europe's debt crisis.
盡管《時代周刊》經常將特朗普做為封面人物，特朗普也通過了2015年“年度人物”提名。然而，德國總理安格拉?默克爾最后獲選。因為她為成千上萬的難民開放邊境，在處理歐洲債務危機中的表現(xiàn)獲得稱贊。

“I told you @TIME Magazine would never pick me as person of the year despite being the big favorite. They picked [the] person who is ruining Germany,”he tweeted soon after the news was announced last December.
去年12月消息公布后不久，特朗普就馬上在推特上發(fā)文稱：“我告訴你@TIME雜志永遠不會評選我為‘年度人物’，盡管我是大熱門。他們選擇了那個毀滅德國的人?！?/div>

Time managing editor Nancy Gibbs said that the decision this year was easy. The title goes to a newsmaker who has influenced events for better or for worse. This year's finalists included Hillary Clinton, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, United Kingdom Independence Party leader Nigel Farage, singer Beyoncé, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and whistleblowers in Flint, Mich.
《時代周刊》主編南?！ぜ妓拐f今年的評選很簡單。這一稱號將給一年來最具影響里的人，不管這影響是好的還是壞的。今年年度人物提名者還包括希拉里·克林頓，土耳其總理雷杰普·塔伊普·埃爾多安，英國獨立黨領袖奈杰爾·法拉奇，歌手碧昂斯，印度總理納倫德拉·莫迪和弗林特揭密者。
