>Female EU Commission head 欧委员迎来首位女掌门

Germany's Ursula von der Leyen secured European parliamentary approval on Tuesday to become the first female European Commission president. 16日，德国人乌尔苏拉•冯德莱恩获得欧洲议会的认可，成为欧盟历史上首位女性欧委会主席。

"The trust you placed in me is confidence you placed in Europe," said the German conservative, who earlier this week resigned as Berlin's defense minister. "It's a big responsibility and my work starts now. Let us work together constructively because the endeavor is a united and strong Europe," she added. 冯德莱恩称："你们对我的信任就是对欧洲的信心"，她还表示："欧委会主席一职责任重大，我的工作现在才刚刚开始，让我们秉持建设性态度，共同建设一个团结、强大的欧洲。"冯德莱恩是德国保守派人士，本周早些时候她辞去了德国防长的职务。

Von der Leyen will replace Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on Nov 1. 她将于11月1日接替现任欧委会主席让-克洛德•容克。

As head of the EU executive, von der Leyen will be in charge of trade negotiations, economic and climate policy for 500 million Europeans and antitrust rulings involving powerful tech giants. 冯德莱恩上任后将负责为5亿欧洲人进行贸易谈判，制定经济和气候方面的政策，做出涉及科技巨头的反垄断裁决。

>GoT leads Emmy nominations '权游'获32项艾美奖提名

HBO's "Game of Thrones" slashed its way to a record-setting 32 Emmy nominations Tuesday for its eighth and final season, leading HBO back to dominance over Netflix, the streaming service that bumped it last year from atop the increasingly crowded television heap. 16日，HBO的嗜血奇幻剧《权力的游戏》第八季即最终季创纪录地拿下32项艾美奖提名，使HBO重新确立对流媒体服务商奈飞的领先地位。在日益激烈的电视剧集竞争中，奈飞去年曾打破HBO的艾美奖提名统治地位。

The bloodthirsty saga toppled the all-time series record of 27 nods earned by "NYPD Blue" in 1994. 《权游》打破了1994年《纽约重案组》保持的27项提名的历史记录，成为艾美奖史上单届提名最多的剧集。

If "Game of Thrones" successfully defends it best drama series title and claims a fourth trophy, it will join the quartet of most-honored dramas that includes "Hill Street Blues," ''L.A. Law," ''The West Wing" and "Mad Men." 如果《权游》能成功卫冕艾美奖"最佳剧集奖"，第四次夺魁，它将与《希尔街的布鲁斯》、《洛城法网》、《白宫风云》、《广告狂人》并列成为艾美奖历史上最受推崇的剧集。
