叙利亚总统阿萨德在位近三十年,在中东政治舞台上叱咤风云,素有“雄狮”这称。近年有关他去世的消息时有所传,对此他总是带着笑意说:“媒体已不止一次地报道我死了。”这一次,他不能再笑了,他真的走了。因心脏病突发,他倒在了电话机旁,当时他正在与黎巴嫩总统拉胡德通电话。他以“我们应该给下一代创造一个平安的环境和更美好的未来”这样发人深省的话语,结束了他作为政治家的一生。 Syrian President Assad was in his midst of nearly 30 years and has all the power in the Middle East political arena. In recent years, when the news of his death passed, he always said with a smile: “The media has reported more than once that I am dead.” This time, he can no longer laugh and he really left. He fell to the telephone because of a heart attack, when he was on the phone with Lebanese President Lahoud. His thought-provoking discourse, “We should create a peaceful environment and a brighter future for the next generation,” ended his life as a politician.
