二战经典照片“胜利之吻”男主角去世

A man who became known for claiming he was the sailor kissing a woman in Times Square in a famous World War II-era photo taken by a Life magazine photographer has died aged 86.

二战时期，《生活》杂志摄影师在美国时代广场抓拍到一名水兵亲吻陌生女士的一幕，这张”胜利之吻“的照片被奉为经典。自称是照片男主角的格林·麦杜菲因此声名鹊起，他于近日去世，享年86岁。

Glenn McDuffie passed away on March 9 in a nursing home in Dallas, his daughter, Glenda Bell, told The Associated Press.

格林·麦杜菲的女儿告诉美联社她的父亲3月9日在达拉斯一家养老院去世的消息。

A mail carrier and semi-professional baseball player after he returned from World War II, McDuffie's life became more exciting about six years ago when Houston Police Department forensic artist Lois Gibson was able to identify him as the young man leaning over the woman in his arms to kiss her.

二战之后，麦杜菲成为了一个邮递员，同时也算是半个职业棒球手。6年前，被休斯敦警察局的法医路易斯·吉普森确认他就是那个倾着身体亲吻怀中女人的年轻水手之后，麦杜菲的生活变得精彩起来。

By taking about 100 pictures of McDuffie using a pillow to pose as he did in the picture taken August 14, 1945, by photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt, Gibson said, she was able to match the muscles, ears and other features of the then-80-year-old McDuffie to the young sailor in the original image.
