美国总统唐纳德·特朗普大力赞扬了他的长期助手、现任白幕僚长斯蒂芬·米勒，称他是一位“伟大的斗士”，并表示他“每年都是MVP”。MVP是体育界和流行文化中的常用俚语，代表“最有价值球员”。特朗普周五宣布，他将取代苏西·怀尔斯担任白宫幕僚长，此前几天共和党在中期选举中遭遇重大挫折，失去了对美国国会的控制权。
United States President Donald Trump has heaped praised on his longtime aide and now White House chief of staff, Stephen Miller, calling him a “great fighter”, and saying that he has “been an MVP every year.”MVP is a popular slang term in sports and popular culture, which stands for “most valuable player.”Trump had on Friday announced that he replacing Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff, days after the Republicans faced a massive setback and lost control of the US Congress in the midterm elections.
强调米勒十年来的忠诚，这位美国总统表示：“他是一位伟大的斗士。他从一开始就跟着我。2015年，他在2016年之前就跟着我了。”“他非常忠诚、聪明，工作做得很棒。他每年都是MVP。他表现得非常出色，”福克斯新闻引述特朗普的话说。这位美国总统还表示，他的政府对米勒“非常满意”，并补充说米勒获得了“极高的评价”。
Highlighting Miller's decade-old loyalty, the US President said, “He's a great fighter. He's been with me right from the beginning. 2015, he was with me from before 2016, 2015." “He's very loyal, smart, does a great job. He's been an MVP every year. He's been just great,” Fox News cited Trump as saying. The US President further said his administration was “very happy” with Miller, adding that he had received “great reviews.”
据美联社报道，米勒是特朗普最亲密、任职时间最长的顾问之一，曾于2016年作为演讲稿撰写人加入其总统竞选团队。他目前是白宫副幕僚长，也是政府强硬移民政策的关键设计师。
Miller is one of Trump’s closest and longest-serving advisers, having joined his 2016 presidential campaign as a speechwriter. He is currently deputy chief of staff and is a key architect of the administration’s hardline immigration policies, according to the Associated Press.
在刚刚结束的中期选举后，民主党明年将在100个席位的参议院中至少占据54个席位，最多可达56个。该党在众议院也已获得超过250个席位，超过了218个的多数席位门槛。
Following the recently concluded midterm elections, the Democrats will hold at least 54 seats in the 100-member Senate next year, and as many as 56. The party has also surpassed 250 seats in the House of Representatives, more than the majority mark of 218.
在共和党遭遇挫折后，特朗普将失利归咎于本党候选人，同时表示民主党“做得很好”。特朗普称预计政府“极少”人事变动当被问及未来几个月是否会有更多离职时，特朗普表示政府将极少有人事变动。“极少，”他在周五抵达棕榈滩后在机场停机坪上对记者说，据美联社报道。
Following the Republican setback, Trump blamed his party's candidates for the losses, while saying that the Democrats “did a good job.”Trump says he expects ‘very little’ staffing changes to his administrationWhen asked if he expected more departures in coming months, Trump said there would be very few changes to his administration. “Very little,” he told reporters on the tarmac on Friday after he landed in Palm Beach, according to AP.
他进一步补充道：“我们有一个很棒的内阁。”这位美国总统早些时候解释了他用米勒取代怀尔斯的决定，称他“想做出改变”。在表示怀尔斯做得“很棒”的同时，他补充说“有时在生活中你不得不做出调整”。特朗普随后称赞米勒“在政治上非常出色”，表示他会成为一名“优秀的管理者”。美联社援引一位知情人士的话报道，该人士要求匿名，怀尔斯于周四晚向特朗普提交了辞呈。
He further added, “We have a great cabinet.”The US President had earlier explained his decision to replace Wiles with Miller, saying he “wanted to make a change.”While saying that Wiles had done a “great job,” he added that “sometimes in life you have to make moves.”Trump had then praised Miller as “very good politically”, saying he would make a “great manager.”Wiles gave Trump her resignation Thursday night, AP reported citing a person familiar with the events, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
虽然他淡化了任何重大决定，但这位美国总统在接受哥伦比亚广播公司《60分钟》节目采访时，暗示至少会有一些人员变动。“我认为他们不错。但我会——也许会做一些调整，”特朗普说。这位美国总统还为他的国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯进行了辩护，据报道，即将上任的民主党控制的国会可能会弹劾他。
While he has brushed off any huge decisions, the US President had, in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes”, suggested at least some staff turnover. “I think they’re good. But I’ll do — be doin’ maybe a few changes,” Trump said. The US President also defended his defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, who reports said could face impeachment by the incoming Democrat-controlled Congress.
