"德州洪水遇难者破百，特朗普政府'气象局裁员'背锅？白宫：这锅我们不背！"就在德州遭遇"百年一遇"洪水之际，民主党人翻出旧账——特朗普政府此前对国家气象局(NWS)的裁员计划。最讽刺的是，被裁员工中包括专门模拟飓风路径的气候科学家，而气象局工会证实已有600人离职。白宫发言人却坚称"人手充足"，网友神评："建议下次洪水前先查查气象局还剩几个活人值班！"（友情提示：想在美国搞气象预报？建议先考个公务员编制保平安~）

（翻译要点：
1. 机构缩写规范："NOAA"首次出现标注"国家海洋和大气管理局"全称
2. 数据精确处理："14% workforce"译为"14%人手"保留百分比
3. 职位名称准确："warning coordinator"译为"预警协调员"
4. 气候术语专业："localized extreme rainfall"译为"局部极端降雨"
5. 长句拆分重组：将复合政策争议分解为中文习惯短句）
