There will be no recount on this one： President-elect George W. Bush today was named Time magazine's Person of the Year.
As in this year's razor-thin presidential election, the Texas governor received the nod over Vice President Al Gore.
Bush's victory, obviously, did not come easy. After 35 days of legal wrangling, a U.S. Supreme Court decision ended the Florida recount to lift Bush into the White House.
Time magazine：時(shí)代雜志；這是美國(guó)一家的新聞雜志，它每年評(píng)選一位“年度風(fēng)云人物”，今年評(píng)選的是剛剛當(dāng)上美國(guó)總統(tǒng)的小布什。

In an interview with the magazine, Bush said he viewed the close election as a positive for his administration.
“It gives us a chance to show we can rise above a divided house, that there are some issues …… that are more important than that which has divided the house,” the 54-year-old Bush said.
positive：積極的，正面的；小布什認(rèn)為競(jìng)選風(fēng)波會(huì)對(duì)他的任期產(chǎn)生積極的影響，但是許多專家的觀點(diǎn)卻和他相反。
Time's first cover honoree was Charles Lindbergh in 1927； last year's winner was Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos. President Clinton was twice named as an honoree — first after his election in 1992, and again with special prosecutor Kenneth Starr in 1998 after the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
