12月7日,《时代》周刊“2015年度风云人物”评选进入最后阶段,目前已经确定8名入围者。令人惊讶的是,“IS”(伊斯兰国)的头目巴格达迪竟然出现在这份候选人名单,而中国主席习近平、美国总统奥巴马等均未入围。

除此之外,另7名入围者分别是非裔运动团体“黑人的命也是命”、美国共和党总统参选人特朗普、德国总理默克尔、俄罗斯总统普京、伊朗总统鲁哈尼、“优步”首席执行官卡兰尼克和前奥运选手变性人凯特琳·詹纳(也是金·卡戴珊的继父)。

《时代》周刊2015年度人物8名候选人

《时代》网站上对巴格达迪的评价是这样:他自称“哈里发”(穆罕默德的代理人),以此激励跟随者在伊拉克和叙利亚战斗,并在突尼斯和法国等国家发动袭击。

不少网友认为,让恐怖组织头目入选“风云人物”是个“荒唐的决定”。但《时代》杂志表示,他们选择年度风云人物的衡量标准是对一年新闻影响最大的人,不论是好或坏,“我们选择的是年度最有影响力的人物”。

自1927年起,美国知名新闻周刊《时代》每年年末都会由主编评选出一名当年的“风云人物”。2014年,全球笼罩在埃博拉疫情下,“抗击埃博拉医疗勇士”击败了俄罗斯总统普京、阿里巴巴创始人马云、苹果CEO蒂姆·库克等知名人物获选。

无独有偶,美国另一份杂志也曾经将“IS”头目纳入年度人物。2014年,美国《外交政策》评选的“全球百大思想者”,其中一类 “煽动者(Agitators)”将“伊斯兰国”头目纳入其中,这在当时招致了前所未有的争议和嘲讽。有这样的前车之鉴,《时代》还是毅然决然地让恐怖分子入围,倒让人有些不明所以了……

8位候选人入围理由:

伊斯兰国组织(IS)领导人巴格达迪:他激发信徒在自封的伊拉克哈里发教区和叙利亚作战,同时对突尼西亚、法国等国家发动攻击。

德国总理梅克尔:从欧元区的经济纷乱到目前的欧洲移民危机,她都是关键的核心人物。

俄罗斯总统普京:俄国在乌克兰的军事行动引来西方的经济制裁,在当前的对IS作战当中更扮演危险角色。

伊朗总统罗哈尼:他和西方订定核子协议,尝试领导伊朗走出孤立,努力修补因西方制裁而困顿的经济。

共和党总统参选人川普:他民粹式的议论让他在角逐共和党提名的过程中,不断成为媒体报导的头条新闻。

变性的前奥运金牌选手詹纳:他曾是赢得奥运十项全能金牌的男子选手,如今变性成为女子,引起各界对性别和同性团体平权问题的广泛讨论。

“优步”(Uber)执行长卡兰尼克:他创立的叫车服务公司Uber,如今估值将近700亿美元,但这项服务的缺失也惹来诸多批评。

人权团体“黑人性命不容忽视”:这个团体抗议非裔美国人遭受的不平等待遇。

Time Magazine has named German Chancellor Angela Merkel as its "Person of the Year".

The magazine cited her role in Europe's crises over migration and Greek debt.

Mrs Merkel had provided "steadfast moral leadership in a world where it is in short supply", editor Nancy Gibbs wrote.

Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was named runner-up and third place went to US presidential hopeful Donald Trump.

Eclectic list
Ms Gibbs wrote of Mrs Merkel: "For asking more of her country than most politicians would dare, for standing firm against tyranny as well as expedience and for providing steadfast moral leadership in a world where it is in short supply, Angela Merkel is 'Time's Person of the Year'."

Citing the refugee and Greek economic crises, along with the Paris terror attacks, Ms Gibbs said: "Each time Merkel stepped in. Germany would bail Greece out, on her strict terms. It would welcome refugees as casualties of radical Islamist savagery, not carriers of it.

Time Person of the Year 2015
  1. Angela Merkel - German chancellor since the 2005 election, leader of the CDU
  2. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi - head of the Islamic State militant group
  3. Donald Trump - business magnate seeking Republican nomination as US presidential candidate
  4. Black Lives Matter - activist group campaigning against violence towards black people, notably in the US
  5. Hassan Rouhani - president of Iran since 2013
  6. Travis Kalanick - US entrepreneur, founder of the Uber transportation network firm
  7. Caitlyn Jenner - born Bruce Jenner, became 1976 Olympic decathlon champion, officially changed name and gender in 2015
"And it would deploy troops abroad in the fight against ISIS [Islamic State]. You can agree with her or not, but she is not taking the easy road. Leaders are tested only when people don't want to follow."

The magazine also noted her leadership during what it called Russian President Vladimir Putin's "creeping theft of Ukraine".

Mrs Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said: "I am sure the chancellor will cherish this as an incentive in her job."

After the award was announced Donald Trump tweeted: "I told you @time Magazine would never pick me as person of the year despite being the big favorite They picked person who is ruining Germany."

Media captionWhy Angela Merkel was named "Person of the Year"
While Time runs a poll for readers to vote, the decision on winners is made independently by the editors.

Mrs Merkel, 61, joins an eclectic list of former winners, including Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mahatma Gandhi, Winston Churchill and Richard Nixon.

She is only the fourth woman since 1927 to be named an individual winner outright and the first in 29 years.

The other individual women to win were Wallis Simpson (1936), Queen Elizabeth II (1952) and Corazon Aquino (1986).

Soong Mei-ling won jointly with her husband Chiang Kai-shek in 1937, three women won as Whistleblowers in 2002 and the award went generically to American Women in 1975.

It has gone to other generic groups in the past too, including last year's award which went to medics fighting the Ebola outbreak in western Africa.
