世界虛構(gòu)明星榜出爐 萬(wàn)寶路牛仔最“�！�
Marlboro Man topping a list of 101 most influential people who never lived
They influence everything from how we look and act to eat and speak and have even helped sway the course of history - but they are not real.
他們的影響無(wú)處不在，從人們的衣食住行到言談舉止，甚至影響了歷史進(jìn)程，但他們?cè)诂F(xiàn)實(shí)生活中并不存在。
And topping a list of The 101 most influential people who never lived in a book released on Tuesday is the Marlboro Man - a macho American cowboy who emerged in the 1950s and helped boost sales of Marlboro cigarettes.
本周二，一本名為《最具影響力的101位虛構(gòu)人物》的書新鮮出爐，其中，于上世紀(jì)50年代出現(xiàn)的“萬(wàn)寶路牛仔”榮登榜首，這個(gè)頗具男子氣概的酷男形象曾使萬(wàn)寶路香煙熱銷全球。
The figments of our imaginations, the creatures we push out of our minds into the real world are fully capable of pushing back with surprising consequences, Jeremy Salter, one of the US books three authors said.
這本書共有三位作者，其中一位作者杰里米·索特說(shuō)：“我們憑空虛構(gòu)出來(lái)的人物和形象反過來(lái)會(huì)對(duì)我們自身產(chǎn)生意想不到的影響�！�
Coming in at number two on the list is Big Brother of George Orwells 1984, followed by King Arthur , who the authors say embodies for many the ideal monarch, and Santa Claus comes in at number four.
排名第二的是喬治·奧威爾的小說(shuō)《1984》中的主人公“老大哥”，其次是亞瑟王，這本書的作者說(shuō)他是很多人心中理想君主的化身；位居第四的是圣誕老人。
Santa Claus governs our entire economy for the last quarter of the year and without him businesses would go broke, said co-author Allan Lazar.
作者阿蘭·拉撒爾說(shuō)：“圣誕老人在每年的最后一季度都是經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)的最大動(dòng)力，沒有圣誕老人，很多企業(yè)會(huì)破產(chǎn)�！�
Barbie the bodacious plastic babe who became a role model for millions of little girls, setting an impossible standard for beauty and style makes the list at number 43.
風(fēng)靡全球的塑料芭比娃娃位居排行榜第43位，它是無(wú)數(shù)小女孩心中所向往的“美麗和時(shí)尚”的典范。
The idea came to us that influential characters didnt have to exist, that fictional characters were just as important in our lives, even in maybe some cases more so than real people, Lazar said.
拉撒爾說(shuō)：“有影響力的人物不一定真實(shí)存在，虛構(gòu)出來(lái)的人物在我們的生活中同樣重要，有時(shí)他們甚至比現(xiàn)實(shí)人物的影響力還要大�！�
Even the Loch Ness Monster makes the list at number 56.
甚至連尼斯湖水怪也榜上有名，排行第56位。
As the most popular tourist attraction in Scotland, Nessies influence on the cash flow of that country has been significant, wrote the authors of The 101 most influential people who never lived.
作者在書中解釋道：“尼斯湖是蘇格蘭最受歡迎的旅游景點(diǎn)，它對(duì)大量資金流入當(dāng)?shù)鼐哂信e足輕重的作用�！� |
