Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez died on Tuesday after a two-year battle with cancer, ending 14 years of tumultuous rule that made the socialist leader a hero for the poor but a hate figure to his opponents. 本周二,委内瑞拉总统乌戈·查韦斯在经历两年与癌症的抗争后,于当日下午逝世,结束了对对委内瑞拉14年的执政。这位著名的社会主义领导人,是委内瑞拉贫苦人民的英雄,但也是反对派憎恨的对象。 The flamboyant 58-year-old had undergone four operations in Cuba for a cancer that was first detected in his pelvic region in mid-2011. His last surgery was on December 11 and he had not been seen in public since. 查韦斯终年58岁,2011年年中,他因为骨盆区发现癌细胞而患上癌症,在古巴接受了四次手术。最后一次手术是在去年的12月11日,自此他再未出现在公众面前。 |
