《时代》揭晓2017年度人物：性骚扰丑闻“打破沉默者”

Time's editor-in-chief, Edward Felsenthal, announced the pick Wednesday morning on NBC's "Today."

《时代》周刊主编爱德华•费尔森塔尔周三在美国全国广播公司的《今日》节目中公布了这一结果。

"It became a hashtag, a movement, a reckoning," Felsenthal wrote in an explanation published on Time's website. "But it began, as great social change nearly always does, with individual acts of courage."

费尔森塔尔在发表在《时代》周刊网站上的一封信中解释道：“这成为一个标签、一场运动、一次反思。但它起源于充满勇气的个人行动，伟大的社会变化大都如此开始。”

The choice was inspired in part by the #MeToo hashtag, which was created more than a decade ago by the activist Tarana Burke. It took off last month when a slew of high-profile men were publicly accused of sexual misconduct, beginning with Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

《时代》选择“打破沉默者”作为年度人物部分是受到“我也是”标签活动的启发。“我也是”标签是在十几年前由活动家塔拉那•伯克发起的。在上月，由于多位男性名人被公开指责有性骚扰行为，“我也是”标签使用量暴增，这些都始自好莱坞制作人哈维•韦恩斯坦性侵事件曝光。

The actor Alyssa Milano tweeted the phrase in mid-October, telling her followers: "If you've been sexually harassed or assaulted write 'me too' as a reply to this tweet." When she woke up the next day, more than 30,000 people had used #metoo, according to Time.
