【美國衛生部長恐遭撤換？】
華爾街日報今天刊出了一條號稱獨家新聞：川普政府可能換掉衛生部長Alex Azar，主因是Azar部長早期疫情處理不當。
這是美國白宮內部的人事新聞，順著內文我們來學點英文：
Administration officials are discussing replacing Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar following criticism of his management of the early response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to six people familiar with the discussions.
第一段最有趣的是最後一句：根據六名參與討論人士指出。這一句相當程度證實了這則傳聞的可信度，連六名都寫出來了。
It remains unclear if Mr. Azar will be ousted and in what timeline that might occur.
oust跟replace意義接近，是新聞英文中常用的替換語詞寫法。
Administration officials said the White House is hesitant to shake up the leadership of HHS during a pandemic, though they acknowledged that frustration with the secretary has been growing in recent weeks.
政府官員表示，白宮對於在疫情期間撼動領導團隊感到猶豫，但他們的確認知到對於衛生部長的挫折在近幾週來持續上升。
President Trump is prone to unexpected staffing moves and dismissals, so the decision could still go either way.
川普總統向來無預警撤換人事，所以這項人事案發展尚未明朗。
“Secretary Azar is busy responding to a global, public health crisis and doesn’t have time for palace intrigue,” an HHS spokeswoman said Saturday.
衛生部發言人表示，Azar部長忙於回應全球公共危機，無瑕顧及宮廷政治。
palace intrigue（宮廷政治）這個詞可以學一下，另外一個寫法是palace politics。
取代Azar的人選在內文也有提到，是副總統Pence的人馬Seema Verma。Verma跟Azar不合早已不是新聞。
