Time chose as runner-up (第二名) President Franklin Roosevelt to represent the triumph of freedom and democracy over fascism, and Mahatma Gandhi as an icon (象征) for a century when civil and human rights became crucial factors in global politics.

More problems may emerge in the coming weeks. Overall, though, Y2K has turned out to be Y20K: One partial explanation is that the huge effort lavished(浪费) on bug-squashing has worked. The United States, according to a Commerce Department estimate, spent about 100 billion on the problem; the rest of the world probably spent about the same again. Those numbers are far smaller than some of the more exotic figures trailed a few years ago, but they are still substantial. Yet even the countries that had begun work late and done little-southern Europe, Russia, much of Asia-had a trouble free new year.
