With 2019 coming to a close, it’s time to look back and reflect on the year we’ve had.
隨著2019年畫(huà)上句號(hào)，是時(shí)候回顧并反思我們過(guò)去的一年了。

To help us reflect, search engine Google released Google – Year in Search 2019, a video to capture what trended. This year, searches for “heroes” – both superheroes and everyday heroes – increased around the world.
為了幫助我們反思過(guò)往，搜索引擎谷歌發(fā)布了2019年度搜索視頻，體現(xiàn)了當(dāng)年的流行趨勢(shì)。這一年，全球?qū)τ凇坝⑿邸薄?不論是超級(jí)英雄還是平民英雄 —— 的搜索都有所上升。

“Throughout history, in times of uncertainty, the world looks for heroes,” the video said.
“縱觀歷史，在充滿不確定性的時(shí)代，全世界都在尋找英雄，”視頻顯示。

“People look to heroes to remind them of what’s good, what’s possible and what to put their hope in,” Adweek magazine further explained.
“人們通過(guò)仰望英雄來(lái)看到美好、可能性以及自身希望所在，”《廣告周刊》雜志進(jìn)一步解釋稱。

The video starts with the superheroes in Avengers: Endgame. Released in April, it became the top box office movie of all time. It is shown along with the search words: “What heroes are there in the world?”
視頻以《復(fù)仇者聯(lián)盟4：終局之戰(zhàn)》中的超級(jí)英雄開(kāi)場(chǎng)。這部于2019年4月上映的大片成為有史以來(lái)票房最高的影片。視頻片段中還配有一行搜索文字：“世界上有哪些英雄？”

The video also sings the songs of she-heroes, most notably Arya Stark from the TV series Game of Thrones. Stark brings justice to those who have harmed her family.
視頻還贊頌了女英雄，其中最顯眼的要數(shù)電視劇《權(quán)力的游戲》中的艾莉亞·史塔克了。她向曾經(jīng)傷害過(guò)她家人的人討回了公道。

These onscreen heroes aside, searches also shot up for everyday heroes just filling their duties or stopping to help others in need. Whether they’re championship athletes, groundbreaking artists, programmers changing the world with a keyboard, firefighters saving Notre Dame Cathedral, scientists capturing the first images of a black hole, or a dog guiding the first blind man to ever finish a marathon, “hero” is the word to describe them.
除了這些銀幕上的英雄外，人們對(duì)平民英雄的搜索也大大增加，他們或堅(jiān)守職責(zé)，或?qū)π枰獛椭娜松斐鲈帧２徽撌菉Z冠的運(yùn)動(dòng)員，創(chuàng)新的藝術(shù)家，用鍵盤(pán)改變世界的程序員，在巴黎圣母院救火的消防員，拍到首張黑洞照片的科學(xué)家，引導(dǎo)首位盲人跑完馬拉松的導(dǎo)盲犬，他們都稱得上是“英雄”。

To such heroes who have been a constant influence through their everyday actions, this year’s top search is a tribute, “because living a life for something bigger than yourself is a hero’s journey”, said the video.
今年的搜索熱詞致敬了那些通過(guò)日常舉動(dòng)帶來(lái)深遠(yuǎn)影響的英雄們，“因?yàn)樯畈恢皇菫樽约憾?，而是為更大的目?biāo)努力，這就是英雄的征程”，視頻中如此說(shuō)道。

The year wasn’t short on controversies, but Google has a way of looking at the last 12 months that makes hopeful heroism real and empowering. For everyone who made this year’s theme possible, the search engine has a message: “To everyone using their powers to empower others – search on.”
2019年備受爭(zhēng)議，但谷歌回顧過(guò)去12個(gè)月的方式，令充滿希望的英雄主義成為現(xiàn)實(shí)，賦予人們力量。該搜索引擎也向那些在2019年成為“英雄”的人傳遞了一個(gè)訊息：“致每一個(gè)盡自己力量幫助他人的人，繼續(xù)追尋?！?/span>
