人們在網上質疑, 為什麼雜誌似乎胡亂地把一個女人從圖片中裁剪出來, 但實際上這個設計選擇背後有一個強大的原因。

haphazardly：偶然地，隨意地，雜亂地;

The woman who was cropped out of the cover is a young hospital worker from Texas who told her story anonymously to protect her family"s livelihood.

被從封面上被裁掉的那個女人是一位來自德克薩斯州的年輕的醫院工人, 她沒有透露自己的姓名，是為了保護她的家庭。

The woman told Time that she decided to share her experience with sexual harassment "as an act of solidarity to represent all those who could not speak out.」

這名婦女告訴時代周刊, 她決定分享她被性騷擾的經歷，「代表那些不能發聲的人們，作為對這一行動的聲援。」

As journalist Helen Rosner explained on Twitter, this woman not only represents herself but she also symbolizes all of the people who cannot break their own silence at this time.

正如記者Helen Rosner 在推特上解釋的那樣, 這個女人不僅代表她自己, 而且她還象徵著所有目前不能打破沉默的人。

symbolizes：象徵，作為…的象徵

break their own silence：打破沉默

"It"s intentional, to represent women who aren"t able to come forward," Rosner wrote. "In this case, it is an actual woman with a tale of harassment who was unable to be public, but here she represents all women who remain silent (for whatever reason).」

「這是有意的，她代表了那些目前還不能公開自己的婦女，」 Rosner寫到。「在這個情況下，這是一個真正的婦女，她有被性騷擾的經歷，但不能公開。在這裡，她代表所有不能打破沉默的婦女（無論出於何種原因」）

remain silent：保持沉默

Rosner also compared this cover to New York Magazine"s July 2015 cover, which depicted the 35 women who had accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault at the time. The cover left one empty space to symbolize the women who hadn"t come forward with their stories.

Rosner 還將這個封面比作紐約雜誌2015年7月的封面, 其中描述了當時35位指控Bill Cosby的婦女。那個封面留下了一個空白，來象徵那些還沒有能夠挺身而出的女人們的故事。

intentional：故意的，有意的

depicted：描述; 描繪，描畫

"When New York Magazine did their Cosby accuser cover they similarly left an empty chair — it"s an elegant and powerful gesture, a visual ellipsis," she wrote.

「當紐約雜誌發表了採訪Cosby指控者的故事時，他們也同樣的放了一張空的椅子 - 這是個優雅但強有力的象徵，是一個視覺上的空缺，」 她寫道。
