中英文双语对照《时代》百位世界名人录 - 图文(4)

路德维希.范.贝多芬

表达自我看上去是件挺不容易的事，但一个人要真能陶醉其中，那可是十头牛也拉不回来的。这股子极端自恋感可以在德国前总理施罗德的书《我的政治生涯》中找到。不过，如果施罗德果真自恋到这个份上，他是怎么喜欢上贝多芬的呢？因为贝多芬的性格非常安静低调，看过史努比漫画吗，就和那里面的人物差不多。说到这，如果施罗德能喜欢上贝多芬，或许漫画里的Lucy也能成为他的拥趸。

Hammurabi

Hammurabi's code of 1772 B.C. established law and justice. It's also superfun to say.

Elizabeth I

So incredibly popular, they made a sequel.

Hildegard of Bingen

I may be stretching here to get women on the list.

Cleopatra VII

Not until Lady Gaga will a woman with such a decent-size nose be this powerful again.

Joan of Arc

I do not understand who she really was or what she really did. But the French use her as a symbol for everything. I'm guessing there's a lot of feminism classes at L'Ecole about Joan d'Arc and returning the gaze.

Catherine de Medici

Showtime may have gone with the Borgias, but the Medicis kicked their butts.

Catherine the Great

I'm starting to worry that people just called themselves \

Mary Wollstonecraft

She wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and had a daughter who wrote Frankenstein. Also, she slept around. Very riot grrl.

Louis Daguerre

Invented the camera. Do you know how much Facebook would have paid for that?

Saladin

So charming that even after beating back the Crusaders, Christian poets wrote really nice poems about him.

威廉.莎士比亚

当我第一次阅读莎翁名著时，我的感觉，怎么说呢，大概就是：他写的有什么了不起的啊？这种念头也并非欺师灭祖，因为所有人都念叨着莎士比亚有多伟大，所以你理所当然地会期待他的作品中包含着某些独一无二的东西。不过，莎士比亚的作品更像是法

Otto the Great

Is it possible \meant something else back then, like \

Frederick the Great

Would never had made this list if not for the \part. And Charlemagne would have, if he had stuck with his other name, \Charlemagne. That's the hubris of wanting a name that works in a Steely Dan song.

国波尔多产的特等葡萄酒，酒与酒之间的细微差别可以带来截然不同的完美体验，而不像某些烈酒，入口辣舌，但却没有一丝回味。

今人对莎士比亚的看法越来越粗俗不堪，而我还是觉得波尔多特等葡萄酒的比喻更为恰当。

弗雷德里希.尼采

Ramses the Great

Sure, most people know this pharaoh as Ramses II, but I swear he was also known as Ramses the Great. Maybe that's not so shocking, since you have to be pretty great to have a condom named after you.

Constantine the Great

He is why Istanbul was Constantinople. Thus influencing novelty songs.

Martin Luther

Thorough research proved, to my surprise, that he was not Martin Luther King Jr.'s dad. Which means he made it on this list on his own merit.

Liu Bang

You know him better as Emperor Gaozu of Han. Actually, you don't know him, unless you live in China and you're using Google Translate to read this. In which case I'm sure there's lots of funny mistakes. I bet this stuff about \

translated to be \Big,\with some sexual connotation. That would be awesome.

Alfred the Great

The only English monarch ever to be called \Great.\Though I have high hopes for Prince

没有他，―超人‖恐怕已经沦为―会飞的外星男人‖。没有他，解构主义可能压根就不曾存在；没有他，上世纪80年代那帮以解构为业的毕业生估计都要去找一分―实打实‖的工作来养家糊口。没有他，1980年代那支知名乐队―权力意志‖（Will To Power）肯定也得改名。没有他，就连希特勒也只能转而引述叔本华了，这肯定会让他更不讨人喜欢，顺道连时间空间在哲学上的统一连续一道摧毁。

译者注：原文第一句中，―超人‖源自是尼采提出的―超人哲学‖，认为人的意志可以最终驾驭一切。―权力意志‖，尼采认为，事物的生存意志除了求生存以外，更重要的还在于求权力、求强大、求优势、求自身超越。―权力意志乐队‖，1980年代美国佛罗里达州的一支乐队，知名作品包括Freebird Medley，Baby I Love Your Way。

William.

Pope Leo the Great

He convinced Attila the Hun to turn around and not take over Rome, thus allowing all our modern restaurants to be Italian. But mostly he's on here because he was called \

Gregory the Great

Also known as Pope Gregory I, John Calvin called him the last good pope. He's the patron saint of musicians, singers, students, teachers and people who make lists of the 100 most influential people of all time.

Ivan the Great

I'm going to admit that when you're trying to come up with 100 names, this \a crutch.

Niels Bohr

Without his debates where he out-geniused Einstein

about

the

existence

of

quantum

mechanics,

millions

of

freshman-year

conversations between stoners about reality just being a series of probabilities would not exist.

Wright Brothers

I love when you get two people for one spot. It's like

finding a loophole in the listmaking rule.

Zheng He

This explorer's early 15th century voyages were so legendary that an epic about them was written in 1597 called \Romance of the Three-Jeweled Eunuch.\bravery despite not being able to have sex.

Peter the Great

He modernized Russia. Unfortunately, he died at 42 and his work is still unfinished.
