The Trump White House is taking shape with more key appointments being made.

隨著更多重要任命的做出，特朗普白宮正在形成。

Let's look at their background.

讓我們看看他們的背景。

As we've just heard, there's former soldier Pete Hegseth, selected as Defence Secretary.

正如我們剛剛聽到的，前阿兵哥皮特-黑格塞斯被選為國防部長。

He's been a staunch critic of diversity and equality policies adopted by the US armed forces.

他一直是美國軍隊採取的多元化和平等政策的堅定批評者。

And then there's Mike Waltz, 50, who's been chosen as Trump's national security adviser.

還有 50 歲的邁克-華爾茲，他被選為特朗普的國家安全顧問。

He's a Republican member of the House of Representatives for Florida and another former soldier.

他是佛羅里達州眾議院共和黨議員，也是一名退伍軍人。

As chair of a congressional committee, he argued for the US to be better prepared for conflict in the Pacific with China.

現年 52 歲的克里斯蒂娜-諾姆（Christine Noem）已被任命為國土安全部負責人，該部負責監管邊境威脅以及應對恐怖主義和國家緊急情況。

It's dangerous to America, to the people that live here.

這對美國、對生活在這裡的人們都是危險的。

And Marco Rubio has been confirmed tonight as Donald Trump's secretary of state, which is the equivalent of other countries' foreign ministers.

馬可-盧比奧今晚被確認為唐納德-特朗普的國務卿，相當於其他國家的外交部長。

The 53-year-old Republican senator for Florida will be the first Latino to take this important role.

現年 53 歲的佛羅里達州共和黨參議員將是首位擔任這一重要職務的拉丁裔人士。

Rubio, like Mike Waltz, is also considered hawkish on foreign policy and has taken forthright positions on China and Iran as a senator.

盧比奧和邁克-華爾茲一樣，在外交政策上也被認為是鷹派人物，作為參議員，他在中國和伊朗問題上立場鮮明。

Though on the crucial subjects of Ukraine and Russia, Rubio has recently argued the conflict needs to be brought to a conclusion.

儘管在烏克蘭和俄羅斯的關鍵問題上，盧比奧最近認為衝突必須結束。

What we are funding here is a stalemate war and it needs to be brought to a conclusion because that country is going to be set back 100 years.

我們現在面臨的是一場僵持不下的戰爭，必須結束這場戰爭，因為這個國家將倒退 100 年。

Now, that doesn't mean that we celebrate what Vladimir Putin did or are excited about it, but I think there has to also be some common sense here.

現在，這並不意味著我們慶祝弗拉基米爾-普京的所作所為，也不意味著我們對此感到興奮，但我認為這裡還必須有一些常識。

It's often said in the US that personnel is policy.

美國人常說，人事就是政策。

Let's talk to Sarah Smith again.

And it does look like the Republicans will now have control of all levers of power in national government.

現在看來，共和黨將控制國家政府的所有權力槓桿。

What is that going to look like?

那會是什麼樣子？

Well, yeah, so that means that Donald Trump's Republicans have majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and obviously he has the White House.

嗯，是的，這意味著唐納德-特朗普的共和黨在眾議院和參議院都擁有多數席位，顯然他也擁有了白宮。

So he can probably pass any legislation he wants through Congress as well as issuing orders that he can do simply with his presidential power.

是以，他可能可以通過國會通過任何他想通過的立法，也可以發佈命令，只需動用總統權力即可。

But let's look at some of the unorthodox, shall we say, choices he's been making for some of these appointments.

但讓我們來看看他在這些任命中做出的一些非正統的選擇，我們可以這麼說。

He's given them very radical briefs, but that doesn't mean they'll necessarily be able to get the jobs done because he does still need to get some of them confirmed through Congress.

他給了他們非常激進的簡報，但這並不意味著他們一定能完成工作，因為他還需要讓其中一些人通過國會的確認。

And the majority he has in the Senate is very narrow.

而他在參議院的多數席位非常有限。

So it's not guaranteed that some of these more controversial picks will get confirmed.

是以，並不能保證其中一些爭議較大的人選會得到確認。

Donald Trump has said that what he wants the Senate to do is to declare a recess so that he can sidestep all of the normal confirmation processes.

唐納德-特朗普曾說過，他希望參議院宣佈休會，這樣他就可以避開所有正常的確認程序。

But it's not yet clear that Donald Trump can do absolutely anything he wants and ignore all the normal rules or even the Constitution when it comes to that.

但目前還不清楚唐納德-特朗普是否可以完全為所欲為，無視一切正常規則，甚至無視憲法。
