一则新闻：2013年3月，茱莉亚·皮尔森担任美国特勤局局长，这个部门负责保护总统奥巴马的人身安全。时隔一年半，继上周在白宫发生严重安全漏洞，以及在此前奥巴马访问亚特兰大的时候一名有谋杀罪前科的保安人员竟被安排在奥巴马左右这两起事件，她向国土安全部部长提交了辞呈。乔希·厄尼斯特作为白宫发言人：
中译英：
The latest news: In March 2013, Julia Pearson was designated head of Special Committee depart of US., which vanguards the safety of American president Obama. On year later, following the severe safety holes in the White House and a security guard, who had been put into prison because of murder, was arranged to protect Obama at the Obama's visit to Atlanta, Julia Perason submitted her resignation appeal. Here's from the White House spokesman Geroge Erness:
原文：
But first, in March, 2013, Julia Pierson took up her post as director of the US Secret Service, the agency in charge of guarding President Obama. A year and a half on, and she's just offered her resignation to the Secretary of Homeland Security, this after last week's major security breach at the White House and after a security guard with previous convictions for assault was allowed close to the president when he visited the city of Atlanta. The White House Spokesman is Josh Earnest.

“皮尔森局长于今天递交了辞呈，因为她认为这对她一直以来兢兢业业奉献的特勤局来说是最好的选择。（国土安全部）部长认同了其看法。奥巴马同样如此。在过去几天内，我们已经看到近来越积越多的报导，对特勤局的表现多有诘难。而总统奥巴马也总结认为特勤局需要新的领导人。”
