There will be no recount on this one： President-elect George W. Bush today was named Time magazine's Person of the Year.
As in this year's razor-thin presidential election, the Texas governor received the nod over Vice President Al Gore.
Bush's victory, obviously, did not come easy. After 35 days of legal wrangling, a U.S. Supreme Court decision ended the Florida recount to lift Bush into the White House.
Time magazine：時代雜志；這是美國一家的新聞雜志，它每年評選一位“年度風云人物”，今年評選的是剛剛當上美國總統(tǒng)的小布什。
razor-thin：像剃須刀一樣薄的；形容小布什以極其微弱的優(yōu)勢戰(zhàn)勝戈爾贏得大選。
wrangle：爭論，爭吵；布什與戈爾的競選引發(fā)了法律爭端，戈爾認為計票結果不正確，要求弗羅里達州人工重新計票，雙方上訴到美國法院，結果高院駁回戈爾的起訴，判處布什獲勝。
In an interview with the magazine, Bush said he viewed the close election as a positive for his administration.
“It gives us a chance to show we can rise above a divided house, that there are some issues …… that are more important than that which has divided the house,” the 54-year-old Bush said.
positive：積極的，正面的；小布什認為競選風波會對他的任期產生積極的影響，但是許多專家的觀點卻和他相反。
Time's first cover honoree was Charles Lindbergh in 1927； last year's winner was Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos. President Clinton was twice named as an honoree — first after his election in 1992, and again with special prosecutor Kenneth Starr in 1998 after the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
honoree：領獎人；1927年Charles Lindbergh贏得第一屆風云人物，去年的得主是亞馬遜網站的創(chuàng)始人Jeff Bezos，現(xiàn)任總統(tǒng)克林頓曾經兩次獲此稱號，第一次是92年，98年的第二次獲獎可不太光彩，當時他因為性丑聞差點下臺。
prosecutor：檢察官；98年和克林頓一起當選的還有克林頓彈劾案中的一大主角，獨立檢察官斯塔爾。
