Cuomo, Fauci, Birx: The New Influencers
库莫、福奇、伯克斯：新晋“网红”
--------From YLYK 每日外刊精读专辑
There is currently a petition, on change.org, to nominate 79-year-old Dr. Anthony Fauci as People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive. Dr. Fauci’s face, with his small wire-rim glasses and neatly parted gray hair, has been commemorated on sweatshirts, knee socks and mugs.
目前，change.org网站上有一份请愿书，请求提名79岁的安东尼·福奇博士为《人物》杂志评选的“最性感男士”。福奇博士那张架着小金丝框眼镜、留着整齐灰白色分头的脸庞，已经被印在了卫衣、膝袜和马克杯等纪念品上。
His colleague Dr. Deborah Birx, another regular presence at presidential briefings, has multiple Instagram accounts dedicated to her scarf collection as well as a Twitter hashtag, #DrBirxScarves.
福奇博士的同事德博拉·伯克斯博士，也经常出席总统简报会。Instagram上有多个账户是专门为她各式各样的丝巾而设，同时还有一个Twitter热搜标签叫做#DrBirxScarves（#伯克斯博士的丝巾）。
And Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York and the anchor of his own daily briefings, has become the subject of essays proclaiming love and faith.
还有纽约州州长安德鲁·科莫，他也是自己每日简报节目的主播，并已成为宣扬爱与信仰文章中的主角。
You can dismiss this focus on the appearance of such figures during a crisis as superficial and reductive. But at a time when so many of us are trapped in our homes, these images of authority, up close on our screens, have become a potent point of contact and means of connection.
你可以把危机期间对上述人物外表的关注视作肤浅而简化的，不予理会。但是，在我们中的许多人都被困家中之际，这些近距离出现在我们屏幕上的权威人士形象，已成为一个有影响力的连结点和连结方式。
They have become role models, and what they are modeling, literally, is trust, reliability, work ethic, familiarity. Their consistency and calm in the face of fear is echoed by the consistency and calm of what they wear.
他们成为了榜样，并且他们正在塑造的东西，正是信任、可靠、职业道德和亲切随和。他们在面对恐惧时的坚持和冷静，与他们穿着上的一贯风格和沉稳相呼应。
We look at them and a host of associations spring to mind. By their silhouettes, we think we know them. When the patterns of life are unrecognizable, the familiar becomes a source of comfort.
看着他们，我们脑海中浮现出许多联想。看着他们的身影，我们觉得认识他们。当生活规律变得难以辨认时，熟悉的事物就会成为慰藉的来源。
