英國選出改變世界的40名女性大綱
The Queen, Margaret Thatcher and J.K. Rowling have been celebrated in a list of the top 40 women who changed the world.
在“全球40位改變世界的女性”榜單中,英女王、前首相撒切爾夫人和作家J·K·羅琳等均在榜單之列。The list, which also includes Marilyn Monroe and 17-year-old girls' education activistMalala Yousafzai, was topped by pioneering Polish chemist Marie Curie, who was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize – and won it twice.
這份榜單還包括瑪麗蓮·夢露以及17歲的兒童教育活動家馬拉拉·優素福扎伊。其中位列第一的是曾兩次獲諾貝爾獎的波蘭裔先驅化學家居里夫人。British nurse Florence Nightingale came second and former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was third.
緊隨其後的,是開創了護理事業的英國護士南丁格爾,有“鐵娘子”之稱的英國前首相撒切爾夫人位居第三。
Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst and Mother Teresa completed the top five.
分列第四和第五的是為爭取婦女選舉權奮鬥終身的埃米琳·潘克赫斯特和特蕾莎修女。Royals fared well, with the Queen, Princess Diana, Queen Victoria, the Queen Mother and Elizabeth I all in the top 20.
皇室成員的排名也相當靠前,英女王、戴安娜王妃、維多利亞女王、王太后和伊麗莎白一世均位於前20以內。The most admired quality of women in the list, which was compiled after a poll of 2,000 British adults by Sky Arts, was that they were not afraid to challenge the beliefs of their time.
這份名單是由星空電視台對2000名英國成年人進行調查之後彙編而成。名單上的女性所共同擁有的最令人敬佩的人格特質,是用於挑戰所處時代的任何觀念。But two thirds of those polled said young women today lack inspirational figures and eight in ten felt youngsters idolise modern celebrities too much.
在被調查的人羣中,有三分之二的人表示當今的年輕女性中缺乏那種鼓舞人心的人物典型,有80%的人覺得現在的年輕人過於崇拜明星偶像。A spokeswoman for Sky Arts said, 'There's no doubt that the women on this list changed the world and continue to inspire people today.
