Gen Colin Powell, the first Black US secretary of state and a trailblazing figure in Washington DC, and around the world, died on Monday of complications from COVID-19.He was 84.

科林·鲍威尔将军是美国第一位黑人国务卿,也是华盛顿特区和世界各地的先驱人物周一死于冠状病毒并发症享年84岁。


According to a statement from his family posted to Facebook, Powell had been fully vaccinated and was being treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He was also being treated for multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that suppresses immunity, a spokesperson told CNN.

根据他家人在Facebook上发布的一份声明,鲍威尔已经完全接种了疫苗,目前正在沃尔特里德国家军事医疗中心接受治疗。一位发言人告诉CNN,他还在接受多发性骨髓瘤的治疗,这是一种抑制免疫力的血癌。


"We want to thank the medical staff at Walter Reed National Medical Center for their caring treatment," the statement read. "We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American."

声明中写道:“我们要感谢沃尔特里德国家医疗中心的医务人员的关怀治疗。”“我们失去了一位杰出而慈爱的丈夫、父亲、祖父和一位伟大的美国人。”


Powell is survived by his wife, Alma, whom he married in 1962, and three children. Powell, who was wounded in Vietnam, served as national security adviser under President Ronald Reagan, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President George HW Bush and secretary of state under President George W Bush, breaking the color barrier each time.

鲍威尔去世后留下妻子阿尔玛和三个孩子。他们于1962年结婚。鲍威尔在越南受伤,曾在罗纳德·里根总统手下担任国家安全顾问,并担任乔治·HW·布什总统时期的参谋长联席会议主席和乔治·W·布什总统时期的国务卿,多次打破了肤色障碍。


"I think it shows to the world what is possible in this country," Powell said of his Senate confirmation hearing for secretary of state in 2001. "It shows to the world that: Follow our model, and over a period of time from our beginning, if you believe in the values that espouse, you can see things as miraculous as me sitting before you."

“我认为这向世界展示了这个国家的可能性,”鲍威尔在谈到他在2001年举行的参议院国务卿确认听证会时说。“它向世界表明:遵循我们的模式,从我们开始的一段时间里,如果你相信我们所信奉的价值观,你可以看到像我这样的奇迹就在你面前。”
