Karoline Leavitt, 28, is leaving her demanding(要求高的,费力的) job as Donald Trump’s press secretary to spend more time with(花更多时间陪伴) her two young children and her 60-year-old husband. According to a post by Trump On Truth Social, Leavitt will be departing(离开,离职) her role at the end of the month and will serve as one of Trump’s “top outside advisors(外部顾问)”.
28岁的卡罗琳·莱维特即将辞去唐纳德·特朗普新闻秘书这一繁重的工作,以便有更多时间陪伴两个年幼的孩子和60岁的丈夫。根据特朗普在“真相社交”上发布的一篇帖子,莱维特将于本月底卸任,并担任特朗普的“顶级外部顾问”之一。
In other words(换句话说): the official version of events is that Leavitt is resigning on her own terms(按照自己的意愿) for family reasons and not because Trump’s approval ratings(支持率) are at record lows and she’s a rat fleeing a sinking ship(逃离沉船的老鼠,喻见风使舵的人).
换句话说:官方说法是,莱维特是出于家庭原因、按照自己的意愿辞职,而不是因为特朗普的支持率处于历史低位,而她是一只逃离沉船的老鼠。
But is the official version of events the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth(真相,全部真相,除真相外别无其他)? Don’t bother asking Leavitt – I’m not sure she knows much about the T-word(以T开头的词,此处指真相). She may have been the youngest White House press secretary in history, but there’s no denying her communication style made her eminently(非常,极其) qualified for a role in the Trump administration. I won’t muck about with(瞎搞,浪费时间在) euphemisms(委婉语) such as misrepresented or stated without evidence or made false claims. Leavitt’s legacy(遗产,遗留的影响) in government was attacking Trump’s enemies and spouting(滔滔不绝地说) lie after lie after lie.
但官方说法是真相、全部真相、除真相外别无其他吗?别费心去问莱维特了——我不确定她对“真相”这个词了解多少。她或许是史上最年轻的白宫新闻秘书,但不可否认,她的沟通风格使她非常适合在特朗普政府中任职。我不想用“歪曲事实”“无证据陈述”或“作出虚假声明”这样的委婉语来绕弯子。莱维特在政府中的遗产就是攻击特朗普的敌人,一个接一个地散布谎言。
