Each photograph selected for TIME’s Top 10 photos of 2015, reflects a unique and powerful point of view that represents the best of photojournalism this year. There’s no doubt that the language of photography is expanding.
2015年《时代周刊》选出的10张最佳照片都折射出独一无二又强大有力的观点，代表了今年摄影新闻的巅峰之作。毫无疑问，照片表达的内涵更为广阔。

The photographs that hold the most power are quite often the ones that are the most devastating. Photographer James Nachtwey covered the aftermath of the Nepal earthquake for TIME in April and May. His picture of a mother weeping in mourning after discovering her three-year-old daughter had died, buried in the rubble, is visceral.
最具影响力的照片往往是最具灾难性的。摄影师詹姆斯·纳赫特韦在四月和五月为《时代周刊》拍摄了尼泊尔地震后的图片。照片中，一位母亲发现瓦砾下的三岁女儿已经死亡，她在抽泣。这张照片十分震撼人心。
