Time Magazine Names Climate Activist Greta Thunberg Person of the Year
《時代》雜志評選小環保家格蕾塔·桑伯格為年度風云人物
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歲的瑞典小環保家格蕾塔·桑伯格被《時代》雜志評為2019年度風云人物。2018年,當退學后的桑伯格開始在瑞典議會大廈前抗議的時候,她的激進主義首次得到了人們的認可。她很快獲得了其他同學們的支持,并組織了一場名為“星期五為未來”的學生罷課活動。自那以后,關于減少碳排放的問題,她在幾次聯合國會議上“聲討”世界領導人。《時代》雜志周三宣布,他們決定選她為年度風云人物。她是有史以來被選中的人當中年齡最小的。
