Divas Reigned in Music
女歌手统治着音乐

In a previous age we’d have one or two megastars. But in this decade music was dominated by women — Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Adele, Lady Gaga, Carrie Underwood, J.Lo. They delivered their sound for maximum parting-of-the-waves effect. Their success seemed to have been ordained.

George Clooney settled down
乔治·克鲁尼安定下来

That came to an end Sept. 27, 2014, when the then 53-year-old star wed Amal Alamuddin, then 36, a human-rights lawyer. (They now have 2-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander.) The sighs of dashed romantic fantasies can be heard to this day.

The Superhero Universe Expanded
超级英雄宇宙扩张

Tina Turner was wrong: We do need another hero. Lots and lotsof heroes. Comic-book my thology has been around for decades — Superman was introduced to readers in 1938 — but in the 2010s superheroes seemed to conquer the world. The whoppingly successful Marvel-based movies filled our heads with the stirring, exciting adventures of Thor, Black Panther, Ant-Man andmore. Star Wars‘s Millennium Falcon rose from the dust for a new trilogy. It wasn’t a bad time to be a supervillain, either: 2019’s dark, revisionist Joker was an enormous hit.
蒂娜·特纳错了:我们确实需要另一个英雄。很多很多的英雄。漫画神话已经存在了几十年——超人是在1938年被介绍给读者的——但在2010年,超级英雄似乎才征服了世界。漫威系列电影大获成功,激动人心的冒险故事《雷神》、《黑豹》、《蚁人》等等让我们目不暇接。《星球大战》的《千年隼号》又有了新的三部曲。对超级反派来说,这也不是一个坏时机:2019年上映的黑暗、修正主义的《小丑》大获成功。
