1. 1大改組、人事大洗牌

    A shakeup is when an organisation — a company, a government, a school, a sports team — makes a lot of big changes in a short time, hoping the place will work better afterwards. Jobs move. People at the top come and go. Old ways of doing things get thrown in the air. You will hear it most in the news: a cabinet shakeup, a management shakeup. It comes from the verb shake up, the picture of shaking a box until nothing sits where it did. Though actually, writers also stretch it for any sudden mix of plans, even when nobody is trying to “improve” anything — just change, fast. In careful print you may see shake-up with a ; American headlines often run it as one word. It is not the same as being shaken up after a shock. That is a person who is upset. A shakeup is the organisation turning itself over.

組成shake + up, then used as a noun (from the phrasal verb shake up). Shake is the verb “move roughly”; up adds the idea of mixing everything so it is not as it was.
