>Colin Powell dies of COVID-19
美國前國務(wù)卿因新冠去世

Colin Powell, the first African-American US secretary of state, has died at 84 of COVID-19 complications, his family said Monday.
美國首位非裔國務(wù)卿科林·鮑威爾的家人10月18日在臉書上發(fā)布聲明稱，鮑威爾因感染新冠病毒引發(fā)的并發(fā)癥于當天早晨去世，終年84歲。

Powell's family said in a statement on Facebook that Powell died Monday morning despite being fully vaccinated.
鮑威爾的家人說，鮑威爾此前已完成新冠疫苗接種。

A professional soldier, Powell became the first African-American national security advisor during the end of Ronald Reagan's presidency and the youngest and first African-American chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under former President George H. W. Bush.
作為一名職業(yè)軍人，鮑威爾在里根總統(tǒng)任期后期成為美國首位非裔國家安全顧問，后來在老布什執(zhí)政期間成為美國最年輕的參謀長聯(lián)席會議主席，同時也是首個出任這一職務(wù)的非裔美國人。

He was best known and most controversial when he served as secretary of state under former President George W. Bush between January 2001 and January 2005, and pushed for the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 with the claim the Middle Eastern country possessed weapons of mass destruction, which was proven to be false.
但鮑威爾一生最著名和最具爭議的事件是，2001年1月至2005年1月他擔任小布什政府的國務(wù)卿期間，以伊拉克擁有大規(guī)模殺傷性武器為由，推動美國在2003年發(fā)動了入侵伊拉克的戰(zhàn)爭，然而，美國至今未能證實伊拉克確實擁有這類武器。
