The Obamas are most admired

米歇尔成'最受钦佩女性'

Former US first lady Michelle Obama has been named America's "Most AdmiredWoman" in 2018, ending Hillary Clinton's 17-yearwinning streak. Clinton, a former presidential candidate, secretary of state and first lady, came third in the annual Galluppoll, with talk-show host Oprah Winfrey in second.

近日，美国前第一夫人米歇尔•奥巴马当选2018年美国"最受钦佩的女性"，结束了希拉里•克林顿对此头衔长达17年的垄断。曾是美国总统候选人、国务卿及第一夫人的希拉里在此次盖洛普年度民意调查中排名第三，脱口秀主持人奥普拉•温弗瑞位居第二。

Former president Barack Obama was the most admired man for the 11th year in a row. President Donald Trump finished second for the fourth consecutive year. If Obama emerges on top again next year he will tie with the record holder - former president Dwight Eisenhower who won the most admired man title 12 times, Gallup said.

美国前总统巴拉克•奥巴马连续11年被选为"最受钦佩的男性"，现任总统唐纳德•特朗普则连续第4年位居次席。盖洛普称，若明年奥巴马再次获此头衔，他将追平该纪录的保持者——12次赢得"最受钦佩的男性"称号的美国前总统德怀特•艾森豪威尔。
