Rarely has the post of environment minister garnered so much attention in Lithuania.

立陶宛環境部長一職很少會獲得如此多的關注。

This time, however, the gender of the next person to fill the role will determine whether or not the Baltic country claims the dubious accolade of being the only European Union member with an all-male government.

然而，這一次，這個波羅的海國家能否獲得成為歐盟唯一一個全由男性執政的成員國的「殊榮」，將取決於下一個填補這一職位人選的性別。

After a surprise cabinet shake-up late last year, Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis has already replaced two female ministers with men, leaving only the environment minister』s job vacant. Skvernelis says he』ll fill it 「soon,」 and seems to care little about criticism in local media over the prospect of a government containing no women.

在去年年底出人意料的內閣改組後，總理薩烏柳斯?斯克韋爾內利斯已將兩名女部長替換為男部長，只留下環境部長的職位空缺。斯克韋爾內利斯表示他將「很快」填補這一空缺，而且他似乎不太在意當地媒體對一個無女性政府前景的批評。

Gender 「shouldn』t be a factor, though it is, of course, important,」 he told the ELTA news service. 「Women are very important, but competence, personal qualities and professionalism are too.」

當然，儘管性別很重要，但它「不應該成為一個因素。」 他告訴ELTA新聞社：「女性真的非常重要，但能力、個人素質和專業精神也很重要。」

EU governments tend to be about one third female. At the extremities there』s Hungary, where only one minister is a woman, and Spain and Sweden, where women outnumber men. While Lithuania has a female president, Dalia Grybauskaite, almost 80 percent of lawmakers are men.

歐盟各國政府往往有三分之一的女性。不過也存在某些極端情況，比如匈牙利只有一名部長是女性，西班牙和瑞典的女性官員人數超過了男性。立陶宛有一位女總統達利婭?格里包斯凱特，但該國近80%的議員是男性。

Skvernelis says his administration 「loves, supports and cherishes」 women, with 「many」 serving as deputy ministers or chiefs-of-staff. If he goes with a male candidate for the last open slot in his government, some may find that hard to believe.

斯克韋爾內利斯還指出，他的政府「愛、支持並珍惜」女性，而且此前曾有「許多女性」都擔任過副部長或參謀長等職位。如果他和一位男性候選人一起競選他政府的最後一個空缺職位的話，估計有些人可能會覺得難以置信。
