You dished out a lot of misery
你带来了太多痛苦
It's impossible to candy-coat it, 2016. When it came to misery, you went full-throttle.

You forced thousands from their homes with historic flooding in Europe, in North Korea and in Louisiana, the worst in the United States since Hurricane Sandy.

Republican Donald Trump won the Electoral College and the White House. Democrat Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. And America's torn in half and uncertain of the path ahead. Britain's no better with Brexit.
共和党人唐纳德·特朗普赢得了大选和总统宝座，民主党人希拉里赢得了普选。美国被分成两半，不确定未来的路在何方。而英国因为脱欧也没好到哪里去。
But hey 2016, we'll give you this
但是2016，这是我们给你的肯定
You get props for getting some things right, like the brightest supermoon since 1948. The first Word Series win for the Cubs in 108 years. And you did a solid for the McDonald family, whose conjoined twins were successfully separated after a 27-hour surgery.
你也做了一些好事，值得肯定。比如你带来了自1948年以来最明亮的超级月亮。芝加哥小熊队108年以来第一次夺冠。而且你帮了麦克唐纳家一个大忙，他们家里的连体婴儿在27 小时的手术后成功分离。
You gave us some much-needed laughter from Chewbacca Mom and two joyful weeks of Olympic thrills.

噢，在你的看管下，美国失业率降至4.6%，是美国十年以来最低。
So yeah, you were better than, say, the year the bubonic plague took hold in Europe, eventually killing a third of the population. But that was 1348.
所以是的，比起霍乱病毒袭击欧洲最终使人口减少三分之一的那一年，你确实要好一些。可那是在1348年啊。
You couldn't go quietly, could ya, 2016? You were mean until the end. A man who pledged allegiance to ISIS plowed a truck through a crowded Berlin Christmas market, killing 12.
你就不能安安静静地离开对吗？2016？最终你还是那样不近人情。就在前几天，一个效忠于ISIS的人开着卡车闯进柏林人潮拥挤的圣诞市场，造成12人死亡。
The best part of you, 2016, is December 31 — the day you slink out of town.
2016，你最好的那一部分就是12月31号，就是你偷偷离开的那一天。
