Leading lady: 女主角

Although a White House spokesperson denied the allegations by saying the two women have always had a close bond and still do, the frigid relationship could stem from Ivanka being a stand-in for First Lady duties.
虽然白宫发言人否认这些陈述，称Melania 和Ivanka一直保持着亲密的关系，但如果真如外界所说的，她们两个“关系不和”，那Ivanka很可能无法再担任第一夫人的“替身”。

In a Vanity Fair article centered on the private life of Melania, the magazine claims that two unidentified sources in both fashion and media noticed the cold interactions.

Ivanka on the other hand, quickly rounded up her three children and husband Jared Kushner to move into a US$5.5million dollar home in the exclusive neighbourhood of Kalorama.

The First Daughter, who will be traveling to Germany next week on behalf of the president to mourn Holocaust victims, has always been at her father's side.

On be behalf: 代表，代替，以…名义

Mourn: 悼念；哀悼

From being an integral part of his company, to appearing on his Apprentice show and cheering him on during his presidential campaign, Ivanka has been Trump's go-to child and perhaps biggest supporter.
Ivanka作为特朗普公司不可或缺的一部分，在总统竞选期间，Ivanka出现在特朗普的《学徒》(The Apprentice)节目中，并为他欢呼。Ivanka是特朗普认为“最可靠”“最擅长解决问题”的一个孩子，或许也是他最大的支持者。

Integral: 必需的；不可或缺的

Go-go guy: 擅长解决问题的人；大家有事都会去找他帮忙的人。Go-to guy这个习惯用语原来是来自体育界，具体地说是来自职业篮球。比方说，在一场篮球比赛中，对方球队比你们的球队多了一分，而比赛还有十秒钟就要结束了。在这关键时刻，你就会想把球传给那个最可能投篮得分的球员。这个球员就是go-to guy。

So when Melania, who was absent for a host of campaign rallies and speeches, shied away from her new political duties as First Lady, Ivanka was the clear choice to fill her shoes.
因此，当作为第一夫人的Melania缺席了一连串的集会和演讲时，Ivanka成了暂代“第一夫人”职务的最佳人选。

be absent for: 缺席

fill one’s shoes: 很好地顶替；令人满意地替代
