回顧那些被《時代》封面畫“紅叉”的人物
本拉登
When Time's special issue on the death of Osama bin Laden hits newsstands Thursday, it will be the fourth cover in the magazine's history to feature a red 'X' scrawled across the face of an American enemy. This bin Laden 'X' was illustrated by Tim O'Brien. A look at the circumstances surrounding the magazine's first three red-'X's.
本周四,《時代》周刊本拉登之死特別報道版登陸各報刊亭,這是該雜志歷史上第四次在封面刊登“美國敵人”的頭像,并畫上大“紅叉”。這期的本拉登畫像由Tim O'Brien繪制?,F(xiàn)在我們就來回顧一下《時代》周刊過去三次在封面上畫“紅叉”的情況。
希特勒
Adolf Hitler (May 7 1945) 阿道夫·希特勒 (1945年5月7日)
The issue came out after the discovery of Hitler's body on May 2, but before the German surrender of May 8.
1947年5月2日,希特勒的尸體被發(fā)現(xiàn),于是,《時代》周刊在德國的投降時間(5月8日)之前就刊登了該版封面,
日本
Japan (August 20, 1945) 日本(1945年8月20日)
This was the first cover after nuclear weapons were dropped on Hiroshima (Aug. 5) and Nagasaki (Aug. 9). Because of the red in Japan's flag, a black cross was used instead. The formal surrender of Japan came on Sept. 2.
這是美軍在對廣島(8月5日)和長崎(8月9日)投放核武器后的第一版封面。考慮到日本的國旗顏色是紅色,所以這次的“紅叉”改為了“黑叉”。日本的正式投降日期是1945年9月2日。
薩達姆
Saddam Hussein (April 21, 2003) 薩達姆·侯賽因 (2003年4月21日)
Time waited nearly 60 years for its second red-'X' cover. This cover didn't coincide with the former Iraqi dictator's capture of execution of the former Iraqi dictator. The U.S.-led coalition had merely taken control of Baghdad. Hussein was still on the run, and wouldn't be captured for another seven months. He was executed in 2006.
《時代》雜志等了近60年,才等來了這次刊登新的“大紅叉”封面的機會。這次的封面和這位伊拉克前總統(tǒng)被執(zhí)行死刑并沒有同時發(fā)生。以美國為首的聯(lián)軍差一點就要控制巴格達時,薩達姆仍然在逃,在隨后的七個月內都沒有被抓住。他是在2006年才被執(zhí)行死刑。
扎卡維
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (June 13, 2006) 扎卡維 (2006年6月13日)
The death of al-Qaeda's number three in a U.S.-led airstrike coincided with waning American popular support for the war. Zarqawi was called the "mastermind" of the insurgency in Iraq.
當年,在以美國為首的聯(lián)軍逐漸失去公眾支持時,基地組織第三號頭目扎卡維死亡。扎卡維被稱作是伊拉克暴軍中的“智多星”。
