Pope Francis was a celebrated pontiff, an informal Jesuit who promoted mercy, concern for the poor, interfaith dialogue, and social justice.

教皇方濟各是一位著名的教皇，他是一位非正式的耶穌會士，提倡仁慈、關注窮人、宗教間對話和社會正義。

進階被動語態

His ascent came at a critical time for the Catholic Church, which was being challenged by scandals involving corruption and incompetence in the Vatican.

他的崛起正值天主教會受到梵蒂岡腐敗無能醜聞挑戰的關鍵時刻。

Jorge Mario Bergoglio was born in Buenos Aires, the eldest son of Italian immigrants.

喬治·馬里奧·伯格里奧出生於布宜諾斯艾利斯，是意大利移民的長子。

As a young man, Bergoglio held several jobs before joining, in 1958, what he considered the front lines of the Church.

伯格里奧年輕時做過幾份工作，1958 年加入了他認為是教會前線的工作。

After a decade of working in theology, at just 36, he became the provincial leader of Argentina's Jesuits.

在從事了十年的神學工作後，年僅 36 歲的他成為了阿根廷耶穌會的省級領袖。

Soon after, the country's Dirty Wars broke out.

不久之後，該國的骯髒戰爭爆發了。

Priests across Latin America started to embrace social movements and, in some cases, Marxism.

整個拉丁美洲的牧師開始接受社會運動，在某些情況下還接受馬克思主義。

Bergoglio was caught in the middle, choosing to not openly support either side, but continue the Church's work.

伯格里奧夾在中間，選擇不公開支持任何一方，而是繼續教會的工作。

He became estranged from many Jesuits in Argentina, ousted as their leader, and virtually exiled from Buenos Aires.

他與阿根廷的許多耶穌會士關係疏遠，被趕下了耶穌會士領袖的寶座，幾乎被流放出布宜諾斯艾利斯。

Catholic leaders appointed him Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998, and Cardinal in 2001.

1998 年，天主教領導人任命他為布宜諾斯艾利斯大主教，2001 年任命他為紅衣主教。

As Cardinal, he became a prominent and beloved figure in Argentina, especially for his work in the city's slums.

作為紅衣主教，他在阿根廷成為了一位受人愛戴的傑出人物，尤其是他在城市貧民窟所做的工作。

On February 11, 2013, Pope Benedict XVI suddenly announced his resignation, the first pontiff to do so in 600 years.

2013 年 2 月 11 日，教皇本篤十六世突然宣佈辭職，他是 600 年來首位宣佈辭職的教皇。

As one of the 115 cardinals, Bergoglio booked a round-trip ticket to Rome to help elect the next pope.

作為 115 名紅衣主教之一，伯格里奧預訂了前往羅馬的往返機票，以幫助選舉下一任教皇。

To widespread surprise, even among experienced Vatican watchers, he was chosen.

即使是經驗豐富的梵蒂岡觀察家也普遍感到驚訝，因為他被選中了。

To have, finally, a Latin American pope is just wonderful.

終於有了一位拉丁美洲教皇，這真是太好了。

He took the name of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of the poor, the first Jesuit pope, the first from the Americas, and the Southern Hemisphere.

他以聖方濟各的名字命名，他是窮人的守護神，也是第一位耶穌會教皇，也是第一位來自美洲和南半球的教皇。

His succession of Pope Benedict, a month after he resigned, led to the unusual arrangement of two papal leaders, both living within Vatican walls.

教皇本尼迪克特辭職一個月後，他接替了他的職位，這導致了兩位教皇領袖都住在梵蒂岡牆內的不尋常安排。

His approach to papal duties was markedly less formal, choosing to reside in a guesthouse rather than the customary apostolic palace.

他履行教皇職責的方式明顯不那麼正式，他選擇住在飯店而不是習慣的使徒宮殿。

And while Benedict sought to cultivate a core of ardent believers, to re-energize Catholicism, especially among its dwindling flock in Europe, Pope Francis sought to broaden the Church's appeal by de-emphasizing doctrinal differences.

本尼迪克特試圖培養一批狂熱的信徒，為天主教注入新的活力，尤其是在歐洲日益減少的教徒中，而教皇方濟各則試圖通過不再強調教義分歧來擴大教會的吸引力。

Signature to his Jesuit training, the pope pushed for openness, most notably to expanding the role of women and LGBTQ Catholics.

教皇接受過耶穌會的訓練，所以他推動開放，尤其是擴大婦女和男女同志、雙性戀和變性者天主教徒的作用。

As politicians in the West moved to close their borders, Pope Francis became a leading advocate for refugees and other migrants.

當西方國家的政客們開始關閉邊境時，教皇方濟各成為難民和其他移民的主要倡導者。

He opposed far-right movements and pressed for action against climate change.

他反對極右運動，力主採取行動應對氣候變化。

It seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem.

We can no longer be left to a future generation.

我們不能再任由後代來決定了。

Francis faced open opposition from theological conservatives, especially in the U.S., who felt his emphasis on an inclusive Church weakened its teaching.

方濟各遭到了神學保守派的公開反對，尤其是在美國，他們認為方濟各對包容性教會的強調削弱了教會的教義。

They also feared he would loosen the celibacy requirement for priests.

他們還擔心他會放鬆對牧師的獨身要求。

But in February 2020, he decided against it.

但在 2020 年 2 月，他決定不這麼做。

While Pope Francis backed zero tolerance for abusive priests, victims and their supporters claimed he didn't do enough.

雖然教皇方濟各支持對虐待神父的行為零容忍，但受害者及其支持者聲稱他做得還不夠。

In the largest scandal of his pontificate, a former Vatican diplomat called on the pope's resignation over the issue.

在教皇任期內最大的醜聞中，一名梵蒂岡前外交官呼籲教皇就此辭職。

Francis didn't silence his opponents, but he did reshape the Church's power structure, elevating more liberal cardinals and those in the global South.

方濟各沒有壓制住他的反對者，但他確實重塑了教會的權力結構，提升了更多自由派樞機主教和全球南部地區的樞機主教的地位。

During more than six decades of service to the Catholic Church, Pope Francis remained committed to social justice and direct pastoral work.

在為天主教會服務的六十多年裡，教皇方濟各始終致力於社會正義和直接的牧靈工作。

Even in his later years, the 88-year-old pope kept up an intense work schedule, often giving multiple speeches and holding numerous meetings each day, as well as traveling abroad.

即使到了晚年，這位 88 歲的教皇仍然保持著緊張的工作安排，經常每天發表多次演講，舉行多次會議，還要出國旅行。

During the final two years of his life, he suffered from various health problems, including bronchitis.

在他生命的最後兩年，他飽受各種健康問題的折磨，包括支氣管炎。

He was hospitalized in Rome in mid-February to treat a worsening lung infection that turned into pneumonia.

2 月中旬，他因肺部感染惡化轉為肺炎而在羅馬住院治療。
