海伦·托马斯,一个令美国总统闻之色变、令同行肃然起敬的名字。在总统新闻发布会上,她常常从白宫新闻发布厅第一排的中央起身提问,尖锐的问题直指总统们的软肋。她对总统们执着发问、步步紧逼、毫不留情,因此获得了“总统折磨者”的称号。从肯尼迪到奥巴马,她“折磨”了十位美国总统。2013年7月20日,这位“新闻界的第一夫人”因病逝世。她的犀利、勇气、开拓精神与敬业精神已经成为美国新闻业的一面旗帜,也是新闻领域一座可望而不可即的高峰。
Helen Thomas, a name that made the president of the United States smell so awe-inspiring. At the presidential press conference, she often got up from the center of the top row of the White House Press Hall, pointing sharply to the weaknesses of the presidents. She persisted in asking the president, pressing harder and harder, so she won the title of “President Torturer.” From Kennedy to Obama, she “tortured” ten U.S. presidents. On July 20, 2013, the “First Lady of the Press” died of illness. Her sharpness, courage, pioneering spirit and professionalism have become a banner of the United States journalism and an unimaginable peak in the field of journalism.
