Vox发布2022年度回顾:无论历史有什么规律,最后创造历史和做出选择的都是人民!(附视频&演讲稿)
In 2022, the world population crossed 8 billion people — and we felt the scale of this monumental milestone in hundreds of ways. After over two years of lockdowns and quarantines, people eagerly restarted their lives, but there were certainly growing pains. Weddings and travel skyrocketed, but so did lost luggage and global inflation rates. Taylor Swift broke Ticketmaster. Cryptocurrency was headed toward a great year until it really, really wasn’t. 2022 tested the world population as we tested out life in a new phase of the pandemic.
2022年,世界人口超过80亿--我们从数百个方面感受到了这个不朽的里程碑的规模。经过两年多的封锁和隔离,人们急切地重新开始了他们的生活,但当然也有成长的痛苦。婚礼和旅行激增,但丢失的行李和全球通货膨胀率也在上升。泰勒·斯威夫特打破了Ticketmaster。加密货币正朝着伟大的一年前进,直到它真的,真的不是。2022年测试了世界人口,因为我们在大流行病的新阶段测试了生活。
Russia invaded Ukraine, and aid relief flooded into the war-torn country. Refugees were welcomed into surrounding countries, and those who stayed behind inspired people around the world. Global protests cried out for justice in Iran. Football teams stood up for migrant workers and the LGBTQ+ community at the World Cup. Cuba legalized same-sex marriage. The world froze for a moment when England’s longest-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, died. And we all watched a lot of TikTok. As we head into 2023, take a moment to look back at the events that defined this year.
俄罗斯入侵乌克兰,援助救济涌入这个被战争蹂躏的国家。难民们被欢迎到周边国家,那些留下来的人激励着全世界的人们。全球抗议活动为伊朗的正义而呐喊。足球队在世界杯上为移民工人和LGBTQ+群体站出来。古巴将同性婚姻合法化。当英国在位时间最长的君主伊丽莎白二世女王去世时,世界有一瞬间愣住了。我们都看了很多TikTok。当我们进入2023年时,花点时间回顾一下定义这一年的大事件。
