中英文双语对照《时代》百位世界名人录(3)

最彻底的一位。除了已为我们所熟知的那些能耐，我打赌这位大仙还能嚼着火鸡腿儿端枪跨马平天下，当然这不完全是―文艺复兴式的‖做法。我的意思是，他真的无所不能。

Mahatma Gandhi

Think about every single protest you've ever seen. Would any one of those people be out there if Gandhi had come up with violent civil obedience? No. They'd be home eating Doritos and rocking out to Phish records.

Karl Marx

Totally convincing. Totally wrong. Still, he's on board for a nice try.

Sigmund Freud

Without him, we would not have Oprah.

Rumi

Thanks to Rumi, weddings are all six minutes longer than necessary.

Louis Pasteur

I would have also put Louis Homogen on the list but could not Google who invented homogenizing milk.

Adolf Hitler

Nearly 70 years after his death, the meanest thing you can do is compare someone to Hitler. You can say someone is acting crazy like Charles Manson

伦勃朗

对我来说，伦勃朗的肖像画看上去和艺术馆肖像画专区里的其他作品没多大区别。但立普顿这家伙却告诉我：―爱上他，没道理！他的画作简直夺人心魄！‖

译者注：伦勃朗·马尔曼松·里因（Rembrandt），1606年7月15日出生于莱顿，1669年10月4日卒于阿姆斯特丹。伦勃朗一生留下600多幅油画和2000多幅素描，几乎画了100多幅自画像。

or that an anti-intellectual is a little Pol Pot-y, but as soon as you mention Hitler, you go to conversation jail.

Geoffrey Chaucer

No one before and no one after became such an acceptable part of public-school education with a book containing that long of a fart joke.

Marie Curie

Everyone called her Madame. That's pretty impressive. Also, I needed more women on the list. Women weren't allowed to do much stuff for most of history. It took me a long time to understand that. I was very confused about why we learned about Clara Barton in school.

Genghis Khan About

30

million

people

today

are

great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren of Genghis Khan. Impregnating lots and lots of women is a very solid way to become influential.

James Watt

Yes, his steam engine led to the Industrial Revolution, which led people from the country to the city. But what's more impressive is all the things that are named after him: the kilowatt, megawatt, gigawatt, nanowatt, microwatt, picowatt, femtowatt, terawatt and petawatt. But not the \'bout, Willis,\who did not make the list.

沃尔夫冈.阿玛多伊斯.莫扎特

为什么古典乐又被称谓―经典‖？那是因为古典乐诞生于音乐最为鼎盛的时期。莫扎特？还有比他更能代表古典音乐的人吗？盛名之下，人们甚至认为是莫扎特写就了《一闪一闪亮晶晶》。俞伯牙有名吧？你见过谁把《信天游》安他身上吗？（原文直译为：亨德尔有名吧，可没有人吧《小小蜘蛛》安他身上。）

译者注：《一闪一闪亮晶晶》（Twinkle Twinkle Little Star）旋律源自法国民谣，后流传到英国，谱为儿歌《小星星》。1778年初夏，莫扎特途径法国巴黎，为其配上了十二段有趣的变奏，旋律愉悦自然。但并非莫扎特原创。后文中的提到的Itsy Bitsy Spider则是另外一首英国民谣，出版物中最早见于1910年。亨德尔，德国作曲家，《水上音乐》，《弥赛亚》为其传世名曲。

Napoleon

He represented everything that was good about the Enlightenment and France and then, quickly, everything that was bad about the Enlightenment and France. Plus, before him, no one had a quick

way to explain what jerks short guys are.

Watson and Crick

Thanks to them, you can now spit in a vile, mail it to a company and, for a couple hundred bucks, spend a lot of time worrying about the fact that you're 28% more likely than the average person to get macular degeneration.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

He was the Occupy movement guy of his time.

William the Conqueror

Although not as great as \Great,\being called \done.

Qin Shi Huang

Did he burn some books? Sure. Did he bury a few scholars alive? Yeah. But he instituted legalism, without which the Chinese would not have been so ready for communism. Also, he built a lot of the Great Wall and those terra-cotta soldiers, without

which China would not have tourism.

Albert Einstein

Without him, we'd all be walking around unable to take amounts of energy and figure out how much mass they were equal to. And we'd all be stupidly trying to go faster than light. Thanks, Einstein!

Moses

May not have been a real person. Which would kick him off the list. It turns out, however, that modern scholars disagree on whether it would be worth my time to research whether he was a real person.

Mark Zuckerberg

The only person from the 21st century on the list. Steve Jobs just made things pretty. Zuckerberg ushered in an age where it's totally acceptable to take near naked photos of yourself in the bathroom mirror, post them publicly and then refer to it as part of your self-branding.

Lao Tzu

Yeah, I left off Mencius. Mencius is the Socrates of China.

约翰.塞巴斯蒂安.巴赫

Cyrus the Great

No idea what he did, but he was called \and that's good enough for me.

在当时，巴赫的赋格曲一直被认为过于老派呆板。但是现如今打开经典音乐广播频率，你会发现不是莫扎特，就是贝多芬，再不就是巴赫和斯特拉文斯基。现在的年轻人啊，除了电子音乐之外，其他的曲子在他们的耳朵里估计都是一个调调儿的。

译者注：伊戈尔?菲德洛维奇?斯特拉文斯基（Igor Fedorovitch Stravinsky，1882－1971），1882年6月17日生于俄罗斯圣彼得堡附近的奥拉宁堡（今罗蒙诺索夫），美籍俄国作曲家、指挥家和钢琴家，西方现代派音乐的重要人物。

Marie-Antoine Carême

The first celebrity chef. Known as \and the chef of kings,\better in French.

Christopher Columbus

We spent a lot of time in elementary school learning all those explorers, so they must be important. Then again, we spent a lot of time learning the names of clouds and Greek columns.

Pericles

Not the guy who killed Medusa, who was not a real guy. This one didn't behead any snake-haired women, but he did make ancient Greece the kind of place where people voted and watched plays about people who beheaded snake-haired women.

Attila the Hun

I wonder if he was offended by being called Attila the Hun. It seems like a bunch of gentiles calling me Joel the Jew.

Ashoka the Great

I assume there was some \committee that vetted these things.
