The Pulitzer Prizes last Monday honored The Washington Post for hard-hitting reporting on Donald Trump's presidential campaign and The New York Times for a series of reports on Vladimir Putin's efforts to project Russia's power abroad, praising their probing of powerful people despite a hostile climate for the news media.

上周一，《华盛顿邮报》凭借对唐纳德·特朗普竞选的强硬报道、《纽约时报》凭借对弗拉基米尔·普京试图扩大俄在海外影响力的系列报道获得普利策奖。在对新闻媒体充满敌意的大坏境下，两家媒体因对权势人物展开的调查得到了表彰。

The Daily News of New York and ProPublica, a web-based platform specializing in investigative journalism¹, won the prize for public service journalism for coverage² of New York police abuses that forced mostly poor minorities from their homes.

The Pulitzers, the most prestigious⁵ honors in American journalism, have been awarded since 1917, often going to famed publications such as The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal.

普利策新闻奖是美国新闻界最负盛名的奖项，自1917年开始颁发以来，得奖的多是诸如《纽约时报》、《华盛顿邮报》、《华尔街日报》这样的知名刊物。

But they are also won by smaller, lesser⁶ known publications across the country whose work does not always gain national attention when it is published.

但普利策奖也会颁给美国一些规模和知名度较小的刊物，这些媒体的作品在发表时并不一定获得了全国性的关注。
