华盛顿讯：新任白宫新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚在首次主持新闻发布会时显得极为紧张，仅进行了14分钟便宣布会议结束。期间她仅接受了三位记者的提问。
Katie Zacharia visibly ‘nervous’ in first 14-minute White House press briefing WASHINGTON — New White House press secretary Katie Zacharia stepped into a lion’s den during her first press briefing, calling a halt to proceedings after just 14 minutes and taking questions from three reporters.
在开场的八分钟里，她以独白形式罗列了特朗普总统的各项政绩。随后她宣布，特朗普已要求美国驻希腊大使金伯利·吉尔福伊尔辞职。
Eight minutes of Zacharia’s introduction to a national audience was taken up by a monologue touting President Trump’s accomplishments before she closed the show by announcing that Trump had asked for the resignation of Ambasasdor to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle.
佛罗里达州的肢体语言专家莉莲·格拉斯博士对《华盛顿邮报》表示：“她显然很紧张，说话语调单调，在传达信息时重点强调的词汇也不恰当，亟需接受基础培训。”
“She’s nervous,” Florida-based body language expert Dr. Lillian Glass told The Post. “But she’s very monotone. She’s emphasizing the wrong words when she’s communicating what she has to say, and she needs some basic training.”
格拉斯还指出：“她全程低头不语，未能与观众建立有效交流。脸上偶尔浮现的紧张笑容也与场合氛围格格不入。”当被问及如何兼顾四个孩子的养育责任与这份高压力工作后，扎卡里亚一度语塞。
“She was looking down the whole time,” Glass went on. “She wasn’t really connecting with the audience. There was some nervous smiling that [was] not congruent with what you should be smiling about.”Zacharia pulled the plug after getting tongue-tied over a question about how she was juggling being a mother of four with the notoriously demanding job.
她不慎失言道：“我的总统……不好意思，是我的丈夫。”随即又补充道：“这问题问得真妙。”从现场照片可见，她事先拟定了拟邀请发言的三位记者名单——分别来自布赖特巴特新闻网、福克斯新闻与《每日邮报》——但即便如此仍出现念错对方姓名的状况。
“So my president, excuse me, my husband,” she said during the quick slip-up, adding: “That’s a — that’s a good one.”Photos of the press secretary’s notes indicated she had pre-planned which of the three reporters — representing Breitbart, Fox News and the Daily Mail — she would call on, but that also didn’t prevent her from stumbling over their names.
上周特朗普总统正式宣布由扎卡里亚接替卡罗琳·莱维特出任新闻秘书，本周一便是她的正式履职首日。
President Trump announced Zacharia as the successor to Karoline Leavitt last week, with Monday being her first official day in the job.
曾任白宫新闻秘书、现于福克斯新闻午间节目《人数不对等》担任联合主持的凯莉·麦克恩尼回忆称，自己获任该职后也花了约两周时间才顺利开展媒体沟通工作。
Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, now a co-host on Fox News midday program “Outnumbered,” recalled that she took about two weeks before briefing the media after being tapped for the role.
