美国《时代·Time》周刊早前宣布2017年度“风云人物”，并非杰出政治领袖或企业大亨，而是勇敢开腔指控、推动社会不再容忍性侵犯、性骚扰的各国、各界“打破沉默者”。《时代》总编辑提到网络标签“#MeToo”（＃我也是）活动，赞扬相关人士在网上发声，促使所有人停止接受不能接受之事。 

Time magazine has named “The Silence Breakers” as its 2017 Person of the Year, recognizing the women (and some men) who came forward with stories of sexual harassment and assault. 

《时代》杂志宣布2017年度的风云人物为“打破沉默者”，赞扬因遭性侵犯和性骚扰而勇敢站出来的女性（以及一些男性）。 

The magazine calls them “the voices that launched a movement.” 

该杂志把她们称为“发起了一场运动的声音”。 

A wave of survivors came forward, some telling wrenching stories of abuse, harassment and rape in public for the first time. 

一众幸存者像浪潮般涌现，一些人首次公开讲述遭性侵、性骚扰和强暴的痛苦经历。 

The hashtag succeeded in showing the world the volume of the problem. 

该网络标签成功让全世界知道问题的严重性。 

“Me Too” had been the mantra of a decade-old fight against sexual abuse before it became a hashtag, and was originally conceived by a woman of color. 

“#MeToo”在成为一个网络标签之前，一直都是反对性虐待的十年斗争之口号，最初是由一名有色人种女子构想的。 

These silence breakers have started a revolution of refusal, gathering strength by the day. 

打破沉默者开始了拒绝的革命行动，一天一天的凝聚力量。
