路透社将 deputy attorney general 和 associate attorney general 都译成“司法部副部长”似乎有点问题,,这两者一定有所区别吧?
wiki上说的很清楚的,我来copy&paste,都是副职,一个是二把手,另一个是三把手。Assistant Attorney General 反而是对这两个副职负责。
In the Federal Government of the United States, the Attorney General is a member of the Cabinet and as head of the Department of Justice is the top law enforcement officer and lawyer for the government. The attorney general may need to be distinguished from the Solicitor General, a high Justice Department official with the responsibility of representing the government in the Supreme Court.
In cases of exceptional importance, however, the Attorney General may
choose to represent the government himself or herself in the Supreme
Court.
Deputy Attorney General (DAG) is the second-highest-ranking
official in a department of justice or of law, in various governments
of the world. In those governments, the Deputy Attorney General
oversees the day-to-day operation of the department, and may act as Attorney General during the absence of the Attorney General.
In the United States, the Deputy Attorney General is appointed by the President.
The Associate Attorney General is the third-ranking official in the United States Department of Justice. The Associate Attorney General advises and assists the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General in policies relating to civil justice, federal and local law enforcement, and public safety matters.[1][2] The Associate Attorney General is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.[3] The incumbent Associate Attorney General is Kevin J. O'Connor.
Many of the divisions and offices of the United States Department of Justice are headed by an Assistant Attorney General.
The President of the United States appoints individuals to the position of Assistant Attorney General with the advice and consent of the Senate.[1] United States Department of Justice components that are led by an Assistant Attorney General are:
Assistant Attorneys General report either to the Deputy Attorney General
(in the case of the Criminal Division, the Justice Management Division
and the Offices of Legal Counsel, Legislative Affairs, and Legal
Policy) or to the Associate Attorney General (in the case of the Antitrust, Civil, Civil Rights, Environmental, and Tax Divisions and the Office of Justice Programs).
