“二戰(zhàn)”經(jīng)典之吻女主角辭世

　　A nurse famously photographed being kissed by an American sailor in New York's Times Square in 1945 to celebrate the end of World War Two has died at the age of 91, her family said on Tuesday。

　　The V-J Day picture of the white-clad Edith Shain by photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt captured an epic moment in US history and became an iconic image marking the end of the war after being published in Life magazine。

　　The identity of the nurse in the photograph was not known until the late 1970s when Shain wrote to the photographer saying that she was the woman in the picture taken on August 14 at a time when she had been working at Doctor's Hospital in New York City。

　　The identity of the sailor remains disputed and unresolved。

　　From then on the photograph also made its mark on Shain's life as the fame she garnered led to invites to war related events such a wreath layings, parades and other memorial events。

　　"My mom was always willing take on new challenges and caring for the World War II veterans energized her to take another chance to make a difference," her son Justin Decker said in a statement。

　　Shain, who died at her home in Los Angeles on Sunday, leaves behind three sons, six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren。

　　“二戰(zhàn)”經(jīng)典照片《勝利日之吻》女主角的家人于本周二稱，這位65年前與一名美國(guó)水兵在時(shí)代廣場(chǎng)擁吻以慶祝“二戰(zhàn)”勝利結(jié)束的女護(hù)士日前去世，享年91歲。

　　在這張照片中，女護(hù)士伊迪絲•沙恩身著一襲白衣，她與一名水兵擁吻的歷史性瞬間被攝影師阿爾弗雷德•艾森施泰特用鏡頭捕捉到。這張照片隨后在《生活》雜志上刊登，并成為紀(jì)念“二戰(zhàn)”結(jié)束的一個(gè)標(biāo)志性影像。

　　但照片中女護(hù)士的身份直到上世紀(jì)70年代末才得到確認(rèn)。當(dāng)時(shí)沙恩致信攝影師阿爾弗雷德稱，自己就是這張拍攝于當(dāng)年8月14日的照片的女主角，當(dāng)時(shí)她在紐約城的醫(yī)師醫(yī)院工作。

　　而照片中那名水兵的身份卻始終是個(gè)謎。

　　從那以后，沙恩的生活也受到了這張照片的影響。她因此而出名，并受邀參加了各種與“二戰(zhàn)”相關(guān)的活動(dòng)，如獻(xiàn)花、游行及其它紀(jì)念活動(dòng)。

　　她的兒子賈斯汀•戴克在一份聲明中說(shuō)：“我的母親總是樂(lè)意接受新的挑戰(zhàn)，照顧‘二戰(zhàn)’老兵給了她再次接受新挑戰(zhàn)的動(dòng)力。”

　　沙恩于上周日在洛杉磯的家中去世，她生前有三個(gè)兒子、六個(gè)孫子、和八個(gè)曾孫。
