班農辭任Breitbart執(zhí)行主席

Steve Bannon, the former White House strategist, has stepped down as executive chairman of Breitbart News in the latest fallout from an incendiary tell-all book about Donald Trump.

前白宮策略師史蒂夫•班農(Steve Bannon)辭去Breitbart News執(zhí)行主席一職，這是一本全盤揭秘唐納德•特朗普(Donald Trump)的煽動性書籍導致的最新結果。

Mr Bannon incurred the wrath of the White House after he was quoted in journalist Michael Wolff’s book Fire and Fury questioning the president’s fitness for office and accusing Mr Trump’s son of treason for meeting a Russian lawyer during the election campaign.

班農惹怒了白宮，因為記者邁克爾•沃爾夫(Michael Wolff)在他寫的那本《火與怒》(Fire and Fury)中提到了班農質疑特朗普是否適合當總統(tǒng)，以及班農指責特朗普之子在選戰(zhàn)期間會見一名俄羅斯律師是叛國行為。

His departure from the rightwing internet site he helped expand rounds off a fall from grace of one of the most influential figures behind Mr Trump’s 2016 election victory. Mr Bannon went on to have a dominant role in the early months of the Trump White House, before quitting the administration last summer following John Kelly’s elevation to the position of chief of staff.

班農離開了這家他幫助發(fā)展壯大的右翼網站，為他自己的失寵畫上了句號。班農是特朗普2016年勝選背后最具影響力的人物之一。在特朗普入主白宮的最初幾個月里，班農一直發(fā)揮著主導作用。去年夏天，在約翰•凱利(John Kelly)晉升為白宮幕僚長之后，班農從白宮辭職而去。

In a statement published on Breitbart, Mr Bannon said: “I’m proud of what the Breitbart team has accomplished in so short a period of time in building out a world-class news platform.” The company said it would work with Mr Bannon on a “smooth and orderly transition”.

班農在發(fā)表于Breitbart的一份聲明中說:“我為Breitbart團隊在如此短的時間內打造出一個世界級新聞平臺而自豪。”Breitbart表示，它將與班農合作，實現(xiàn)“平穩(wěn)有序的交接班”。

The comments reported in Mr Wolff’s book, and the unflattering picture it paints of the president, precipitated a bitter public break-up between Mr Trump and Mr Bannon and pushed conservative donor Rebekah Mercer to withdraw her financial backing of Mr Bannon.

沃爾夫書中提到的那些言論，以及該書對特朗普的負面描述，引發(fā)了特朗普與班農之間激烈的公開決裂，促使保守派捐助人麗貝卡•默瑟(Rebekah Mercer)撤回了對班農的資金支持。

Although Mr Bannon expressed regret for comments he made to the author about the president and his family, his public contrition failed to quell Mr Trump’s ire.

班農就自己向沃爾夫講過的有關特朗普及其家人的言論表示了遺憾，但他的公開悔悟未能平息特朗普的怒火。
