Time magazine has named Donald Trump¹ its Person of the Year - calling him "President of the Divided States of America." 

 

特朗普当选《时代》周刊年度人物，他被称为“美利坚分裂国总统”。
 

 

"I don't think that we have ever seen one person, operating in such an unconventional way, have an impact on the events of the year," said Time editor Nancy Gibbs. 

 

She called this year's choice "one of the more straightforward² years." Trump beat runner-up Hillary Clinton for the distinction, which Gibbs said is given to the newsmaker who has the biggest influence on world events, for better or worse. 

 

The short list also included President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, scientists who developed new DNA-related technology and Beyonce. 

 

The announcement was revealed on NBC's "Today" show. Speaking on the show via phone, Trump called the title a "very, very great honor."
