中英文双语对照《时代》百位世界名人录(2)

个悲剧作家，但妙就妙在喜剧也是以他的作品为基础发展起来的。可以说没有一个剧作家能翻的过欧里庇得斯这座大山。‖ 除了立普顿所的褒奖之外还有一点值得一提，虽然传世的只有18部作品，但老欧当年相当多产，堪称古希腊时期的泰勒.佩里。

译者注：欧里庇得斯（Euripides），古希腊三大悲剧作家之一。

泰勒.佩里（Tyler Perry），美国人，好莱坞黑人导演、编剧，知名作品有―疯婆子系列‖，相当多产。

Chaplin. Though we all know Buster Keaton was a much more sophisticated and revolutionary filmmaker.\

Marlon Brando

If this list were illustrated, he would have the largest picture. You do not want a list with just ugly people. No one reads that list.

Suleiman the Magnificent

Despite the name, not actually a magician. He did wear a very magician-like hat. But still, not a magician.

Aristotle

This list totally disses Socrates. Why do you think we ignored you, Socrates? Is it, perhaps, because this method of learning where we ask questions is super-annoying?

Thomas Aquinas

All-Time TIME 100 of All Time? list consultant Cornel West really wanted St. Francis of Assisi, and that bird thing is cool, but I'm guessing West isn't going to click through this list, so I'm going Aquinas.

Martin Luther King Jr.

A holiday and a U2 song? I need no further justification.

柏拉图

听说过柏拉图式的恋爱吗（不是电影）？―始作俑者‖就是这位柏拉图先生，因为他老人家纯洁高尚到了常人难以企及得高度，ooxx就有些多余了。不过我敢打赌，一帮古希腊人party的时候，他老先生一定用这个点子勾姑娘来着。

圣母院的设计师们

又是一拨靠―团战‖上榜的。古往今来，几乎没有一个―名人榜‖将圣母院的设计者当作―名人‖看待。但立普顿似乎对这个不知其名也无法知其名的―团伙‖情有独钟：―没人能像

Mustafa Atatürk

I did not put him on the list because Turkish people flooded TIME.com with requests for Atatürk on the list of the most important person of the 20th century, and I don't need that kind of flood in my personal inbox. No, I did it because he deserves it.

John Coltrane

Cornel West was nice enough to help me and really wanted Coltrane on the list. Plus, without \Love Supreme,\NPR would have nothing to start their shows with.

George Washington

He's the father of the greatest, best country that God has ever given man on the face of the earth, as Sean Hannity has called it.

Abraham Lincoln

I was on the fence about this one until I heard about the vampire hunting.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

He was President a lot of times.

Thomas Edison

圣母院的设计师那样，将基督信仰中最温和的一面体现的如此淋漓尽致。作为人间与天堂的纽带，圣母玛丽亚独有的女性慈爱通过他们手中的规尺永远矗立在人间。女士们没事应该多逛逛这些圣母院！它们可比任何系在脖子上的、吊在耳朵上的、箍在指头上的东西珍贵多了！‖

彼德.阿贝拉德

如果Jack是电影世界中最浪漫的人，那么

You know what he invented? Everything. That thing you're using right now? Edison invented it. The thing you were using right before that? Edison invented that too. The thing you're about to use? That one wasn't Edison. But it's not really that great.

Henry Ford

Imagine running an incredibly successful business while not getting along with the union or the Jews. That's a rough path.

Pliny the Elder

He was the Theodore Roosevelt of ancient Rome. He liked plants a lot.

Benjamin Franklin

Not actually a President, but knew a lot of Presidents. Plus, he invented things. And slept with French women.

Fidel Castro

A good list needs a name that will generate controversy.

Sappho

Lesbian stuff used to be named after her until the Internet came along and replaced it with \on girl.\

彼得.阿贝拉德就是人类历史上的Jack。作为中世纪最伟大的哲学家、神学家，阿贝拉德的爱情故事甚至比他在哲学上的成就更让人唏嘘不已。为了他的爱人赫萝伊丝，阿贝拉德惨遭腐刑。尽管如此，哲人依旧坚定着自己对赫萝伊丝的爱。这才是真正的爱情！如果笔者本人遭遇如此不幸，电视机可能是本人后半辈子唯一的寄托了。

译者注：彼德.阿贝拉德（Peter Abelard，约1080-1142)，哲学家、神学家，教师，作曲家。当他快到40岁的时候，爱上了自己的学生，修道院一位官员的侄女，20岁的年轻女子赫萝伊丝，他们生下一子。而因为他们是秘密结婚的，赫罗伊斯的叔叔很愤怒，雇了两个凶手在一个夜晚闯入阿贝拉德的屋里阉割了他。两个恋人被分开后，阿贝拉德进入了修道院，而赫罗伊斯则在附近的修女院中当了修女。后来他为60个修女建立了一座新的修女院，赫罗伊斯在那里任院长。阿贝拉德作为一名教师经常访问那里。他被葬在那里，而他的―前妻，现在是基督的修女‖的赫罗伊斯，后来也埋葬在他的身边。

Nicolaus Copernicus

Historian and All-Time TIME 100 of All Time? list consultant Douglas Brinkley wanted me to include Neil Armstrong, but if that guy was so influential, wouldn't lots of people be going to the moon? Armstrong is the equivalent of Christopher Columbus going across the ocean and discovering Cleveland.

Euclid

It's called Euclidian geometry for a reason. If they called it Diophantine algebra, Diophantus would make the list. The point is: It's all marketing. Euclid would totally have been one of those guys who takes a shirtless photo of himself in the mirror for his Facebook profile picture.

The Prophet Muhammad

He is very influential.

Jesus Christ

Three billion Christians can't all be wrong. I mean, they could be, but still, if 3 billion people follow your teachings 2,000 years after you're dead, that's pretty influential.

Siddhartha Gautama Buddha

The only thing that made me even think about not

putting him on the list is that most influential people are a little better at managing their image. I'm just saying that for a skinny dude, there's a lot of Chinese restaurants with statues of him looking ginormous.

Confucius

Though he doesn't get the credit, he wrote Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother long before Amy Chua.

Johannes Gutenberg

Without him, we wouldn't have the printing press. Which was an important system for distributing information before the Internet.

Galileo Galilei

He is known as the father of modern observational astronomy, the father of modern physics, the father of science, the father of modern science and the father of giving your kids crazy-ass names.

列奥那多.达.芬奇

尽管忍者神龟是一个四人团体，但我决定让其中最著名的一位来做代表就足够了。这位文艺复兴时期的―仙级‖人物，算是―复兴‖的

René Descartes

Though he somehow seemed to believe there were only two dimensions, he did an awful lot with them.

Alexander the Great

Anyone called \Great\pretty much made my list.
