Lawmakers in Taiwan’s legislature scuffled last Tuesday over the nomination of Chen Chu, a former Kaohsiung mayor and top advisor to President Tsai Ing-wen, to head the Control Yuan, an oversight board that the administration has long wished to eliminate. Legislators from the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) occupied the Legislative Yuan Tuesday morning while others laid outside on a driveway to block Chen from entering and thus delay the nomination proceedings.

上周三(7月15日)中國國民黨黨團指控立法院利用治安權力在14日的立院混戰中對抗立法委員，派遣了數百名警力來保護監察院長候選人陳菊。國民黨立委與民進黨立委發生衝突，他們試圖由後門進入，而陳在警察的陪同下由側門進入，因為國民黨議員撤下議院裡的主席台。

It was the second time in the past two weeks KMT lawmakers have stormed the legislature and scuffled with DPP members to prevent a confirmation vote of Chen. The KMT has alleged Chen will not be impartial as she is a DPP member and a former aide to President Tsai.

22. allege (v.)指控 (對方有不法事宜，但尚未有證據證實)
23. impartial 公正的，無偏見的
24. a former aide 先前的助手
這是過去兩週以來國民黨議員第二次攻佔立法機關，與民進黨立委發生衝突，以阻止陳的同意權投票。由於民進黨佔立法院多數席位，陳很輕易就被提名。國民黨指稱，由於陳身為民進黨成員，也曾是蔡總統的助手，陳(來出任監察院長)難以客觀公正。

Last Tuesday’s brawl came as a broad political consensus grows to eliminate the Control Yuan and the Examination Yuan, another of Taiwan’s five branches of government, instead folding their powers into those of the legislature, amid longtime accusations that their members are not truly independent from the government officials they seek to watch over.

28. fold sth into sth 合併*
29. accusation 指控
30. not truly independent 並非真正獨立

*fold sth into sth : https://bit.ly/2Blrjla
上星期二的混戰來自於逐漸形成的廣泛的政治共識，即廢除台灣的五院分立中的監察院和考試院，長期以來，人們一直指責其成員並非真正獨立於他們尋求監督的政府官員，而是將其權力歸於立法機關。但是民進黨和國民黨在如何達成上存有分歧。過去，兩個政黨在執政時似乎都不太願意推動必要的憲法修正案以廢除這兩個機構。

On July 17, the Legislature approved the appointment of Chen Chu as head of the Control Yuan, after days of discord between the ruling Democratic Progressive Party and opposition Kuomintang over her nomination. Chen was confirmed as president of the Control Yuan in a 65-3 vote, with two votes invalidated, in the 113-seat Legislature. Lawmakers of the main opposition KMT, who had vehemently opposed Chen's nomination from the start, abstained from the confirmation vote.
