Vegan Formula One racecar champion Lewis Hamilton was named as one of TIME’s 100 most influential people of 2020. The athlete has won six Formula One world championships and is poised to win a seventh, which will tie the record held by legendary driver Michael Schumacher. NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace wrote Hamilton’s excerpt for TIME’s list this year.
F1赛车世界冠军刘易斯·汉密尔顿（Lewis Hamilton）也是一名纯素食者（vegan），他最近被《时代》杂志评选为2020年全球百位最具影响力人物之一。这名优秀运动员迄今已赢得了六届F1赛车世界冠军，并且即将第七次摘取本项比赛桂冠，从而追平传奇车手迈克尔·舒马赫（Michael Schumacher）保持的纪录。NASCAR（全美汽车比赛协会）车手布巴·华莱士（Bubba Wallace）为本年度的《时代》榜单撰写了介绍汉密尔顿的摘要（excerpt）。
“I’m the only Black driver in NASCAR’s top level. So Lewis’ example—as the lone Black F1 driver—is particularly meaningful for me,” Wallace wrote. “He shows we’re out there doing it. To see him conquering the track damn near every weekend, it motivates me to try to do the same.”
“我是NASCAR顶级比赛的唯一黑人车手。因此，刘易斯作为一名单独的黑人F1车手，他的事例对我也特别有意义，”华莱士写道。“他表明我们黑人继续在那里奋战。几乎每个周末都能看到他征服赛道，这鼓舞着我努力去取得同样的成就。”
Hamilton—who has been vegan since 2017—has used his platform to promote a variety of issues, never shying away from urging his millions of followers to go vegan, ditch leather, and boycott animal exploitation for entertainment. In recent months, Hamilton has used his fame to promote racial justice. During the Austrian Grand Prix 2020 in July—his first race on the track after the COVID-19 lockdown—Hamilton outfitted his car with the message “End Racism” and urged the racing community to come together in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
汉密尔顿在2017年就成为了一名纯素食者，一直利用自己的社交平台积极宣传各种议题，不遗余力地敦促其数百万关注者成为纯素食者、摒弃皮革并共同抵制为娱乐剥削动物的行为。在最近几个月里，汉密尔顿凭借其名声大力提倡种族正义（racial justice）。2020年奥地利大奖赛（Austrian Grand Prix 2020）于今年七月份举行，这也是汉密尔顿在COVID-19（2019冠状病毒病）封锁期过后的首场比赛；参加本次比赛时，他在赛车上设置了“End Racism”（“终结种族主义”）的标语，并敦促赛车界团结一致支持“黑人的命也是命”运动。
“His activism has also moved the world. Lewis has brought international attention to the Black Lives Matter movement, through his advocacy on social media and at F1 events,” Wallace wrote. “Lewis’ mental preparation, his aura, his ability to capitalize on every opportunity to use his platform to drive out racism are more than just a model for race-car drivers and other athletes. He’s an inspiration for everyone.”
“他的行动主义也感动了世界。通过在社交媒体和F1赛事上的积极倡议，刘易斯促使国际社会关注‘黑人的命也是命’运动，”华莱士写道。“刘易斯拥有强大的（赛前）心理准备和非凡的气质，能够抓住每次机会利用其社交平台去铲除种族主义，他不仅仅是赛车手和其他运动员的榜样。他对每个人都是一种激励。”
