2013福布斯权力排行榜 普京居首

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]Russian President Vladimir Putin has been named the world's most powerful person by Forbes magazine.[/b][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京被《福布斯》提名为最有权力的人。[/b][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]He has beaten US President Barack [url=http://www.enread.com/news/cultureandedu/94582.html]Obama[/url] into second place on the US magazine's 2013 list.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Pope Francis features at number four after Chinese President Xi Jinping.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Mr Obama's "lame duck period" had started earlier than usual while Mr Putin had consolidated his control of Russia, Forbes says.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]German Chancellor Angela Merkel ranked number five - one of only two women to feature in the top 20. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]British PM David Cameron is 11th most powerful, in the magazine's opinion - well ahead of his French counterpart but well behind American [b]philanthropist(慈善家)[/b] Bill Gates. [/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]'Lame duck'[/b][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]It is the first time in three years that Mr Obama has dropped to second place on the Forbes list.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Mr Putin, who has been dominating Russian politics for 12 years, was re-elected president in March 2012.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"Putin has solidified his control over Russia, while Obama's lame duck period has seemingly set in earlier than usual for a two-term president - latest example: the government shutdown mess."[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Russia granted asylum in August to former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden, who is wanted in the US over intelligence leaks.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]A month later, Mr [url=http://www.enread.com/news/cultureandedu/94582.html]Putin[/url] "played the trump card again" by averting Mr Obama's threatened missile strikes on Syria with a plan for Damascus to hand over chemical weapons, the magazine says.[/size][/font]
