With 2019 coming to a close, it’s time to look back and reflect on the year we’ve had.
随着2019年画上句号，是时候回顾并反思我们过去的一年了。

To help us reflect, search engine Google released Google – Year in Search 2019, a video to capture what trended. This year, searches for “heroes” – both superheroes and everyday heroes – increased around the world.
为了帮助我们反思过往，搜索引擎谷歌发布了2019年度搜索视频，体现了当年的流行趋势。这一年，全球对于“英雄”—— 不论是超级英雄还是平民英雄 —— 的搜索都有所上升。

“Throughout history, in times of uncertainty, the world looks for heroes,” the video said.
“纵观历史，在充满不确定性的时代，全世界都在寻找英雄，”视频显示。

“People look to heroes to remind them of what’s good, what’s possible and what to put their hope in,” Adweek magazine further explained.
“人们通过仰望英雄来看到美好、可能性以及自身希望所在，”《广告周刊》杂志进一步解释称。

The video starts with the superheroes in Avengers: Endgame. Released in April, it became the top box office movie of all time. It is shown along with the search words: “What heroes are there in the world?”
视频以《复仇者联盟4：终局之战》中的超级英雄开场。这部于2019年4月上映的大片成为有史以来票房最高的影片。视频片段中还配有一行搜索文字：“世界上有哪些英雄？”

The video also sings the songs of she-heroes, most notably Arya Stark from the TV series Game of Thrones. Stark brings justice to those who have harmed her family.
视频还赞颂了女英雄，其中最显眼的要数电视剧《权力的游戏》中的艾莉亚·史塔克了。她向曾经伤害过她家人的人讨回了公道。

These onscreen heroes aside, searches also shot up for everyday heroes just filling their duties or stopping to help others in need. Whether they’re championship athletes, groundbreaking artists, programmers changing the world with a keyboard, firefighters saving Notre Dame Cathedral, scientists capturing the first images of a black hole, or a dog guiding the first blind man to ever finish a marathon, “hero” is the word to describe them.
除了这些银幕上的英雄外，人们对平民英雄的搜索也大大增加，他们或坚守职责，或对需要帮助的人伸出援手。不论是夺冠的运动员，创新的艺术家，用键盘改变世界的程序员，在巴黎圣母院救火的消防员，拍到首张黑洞照片的科学家，引导首位盲人跑完马拉松的导盲犬，他们都称得上是“英雄”。

To such heroes who have been a constant influence through their everyday actions, this year’s top search is a tribute, “because living a life for something bigger than yourself is a hero’s journey”, said the video.
今年的搜索热词致敬了那些通过日常举动带来深远影响的英雄们，“因为生活不只是为自己而活，而是为更大的目标努力，这就是英雄的征程”，视频中如此说道。

The year wasn’t short on controversies, but Google has a way of looking at the last 12 months that makes hopeful heroism real and empowering. For everyone who made this year’s theme possible, the search engine has a message: “To everyone using their powers to empower others – search on.”
2019年备受争议，但谷歌回顾过去12个月的方式，令充满希望的英雄主义成为现实，赋予人们力量。该搜索引擎也向那些在2019年成为“英雄”的人传递了一个讯息：“致每一个尽自己力量帮助他人的人，继续追寻。”
