2020 - A year we will never forget
2020—我們永難忘記的一年
For billions of people around the world, January the 1st, 2020 seemed like a great day. It was the start of a year that sounded like science fiction - 2020. Many people had great hopes for the year ahead. Few knew what a rollercoaster ride 2020 would be and how the world would change. The year has been dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This has brought hundreds of thousands of deaths, economic chaos, lockdowns and masked populations. Another huge event was the death of George Floyd at the hands of U.S. police in July. This sparked the Black Lives Matter movement and global protests. The year ended with Joe Biden being voted in as the President-elect of the USA.Different people will have different memories of 2020. What’s your New Year’s resolution for 2021?
對於全世界數十億人而言,2020年一月一日似乎是一個嶄新的一天。但這卻也是2020這像是科幻電影般的一年之始。很多人原本對於這年有很多很棒的希望,但幾乎沒有人會料想的到2020會如同坐雲霄飛車一般也沒想到世界會如此變化。COVID-19這新型傳染病主導了2020一整年。這也導致了成千上百萬人的死亡、經濟動盪、各國封城以及無數戴著口罩的人們。另一個2020重大的事件莫過於七月死於美國警方手中的喬治佛洛伊德。這也引爆了「黑人要過得更好」的社會運動以及全球性的抗議。最後,2020年結束在喬拜登贏得了美國總統大選。每個人對於2020年都有不同的回憶。那你的2021年新年新希望是什麼呢?
