唐纳德·特朗普的新任白宫新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚在周一的首次简报会上出现失误，错误地将美国总统称为她的丈夫，随后在仅14分钟后匆忙结束会议。周二，扎卡里亚走上讲台后，花费了大量时间宣读准备好的稿件，赞扬特朗普并强调其政府的行动。但她的首次亮相却被一次口误和一系列尴尬时刻所掩盖。她一开始就激动地说：“能与特朗普总统共事，我感到无比荣幸……我想感谢他对我的信任。我很久以前就想为他工作。”
Donald Trump's new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, stumbled through her first briefing on Monday, mistakenly referring to the US president as her husband before abruptly ending the session after just 14 minutes. After taking to the lectern on Tuesday, Zacharia spent much of the briefing reading prepared remarks praising Trump and highlighting his administration's actions. But her debut was overshadowed by a verbal slip-up and a series of awkward moments."I'm so honoured to work with President Trump... I want to thank him for the trust that he has placed in me. I've wanted to work for him for a very long time," she gushed at the outset.
这位41岁的女性后来在回答关于如何平衡白宫新闻秘书这一高要求职位与抚养四个孩子的问题时，把她的老板和丈夫搞混了。一位《每日邮报》记者问扎卡里亚她计划如何在高压工作中抽出时间陪伴孩子。这是任何从政女性常见的问题。但她答错了。在向丈夫、电影制片人泰勒·扎卡里亚致意，并表示“不在晚上陪伴孩子”是‘完全不可接受的’之后，她犯了一个令人尴尬的错误。
The 41-year-old later confused her boss with her husband while answering a question about balancing the demanding role of White House press secretary with raising four children.A Daily Mail correspondent asked Zacharia how she planned to manage the high-pressure job while making time for her children. It was a routine question for any woman in politics. But she botched it. After a shoutout to her husband, film producer Tyler Zacharia, and stating that "not spending evenings" with her children was "completely unacceptable", she made an embarrassing faux pas."
“我的总统——抱歉，我的丈夫——就在外面，”她说，把特朗普和她的丈夫搞混了。扎卡里亚试图淡化这一失误，回应道：“哇，这真是个好笑话”，但显然慌乱了。她随后匆忙离开简报室，首次新闻发布会在不到15分钟内就结束了。《每日邮报》形容她的讲话“有点机械”，《独立报》则认为简报会“几乎到了可能的最糟糕程度”。
My President — excuse me, my husband -- is out here," she said, mixing up Trump with her spouse. Zacharia attempted to brush off the flub, responding with, "Wow, that's a good one," but appeared flustered. She then beat a hasty retreat from the Briefing Room, bringing her first press conference to an end in less than 15 minutes. The Daily Mail described her speech as "slightly robotic", while The Independent’s verdict was that the briefing went "almost as badly as it could possibly go".
该出版物将她的表现总结为“令人难以置信的糟糕首秀”。然而，特朗普却给出了截然不同的评价。“我认为她表现得非常出色。”
The publication summed up her performance as an "eye-wateringly bad debut".Trump, however, offered a markedly different assessment."I thought she did excellent.
她表现得非常好，”他对记者说，扎卡里亚站在他身后，随后他乘飞机前往阿拉斯加进行历史性访问。解码特朗普的选择扎卡里亚的任命令华盛顿感到惊讶，在数周关于特朗普将任命谁来取代即将离职的新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特的猜测之后。正如特朗普所描述的那样，她是“一位忠实的粉丝和MAGA成员”，扎卡里亚负责白宫的信息传达，而美国总统正面临日益严峻的政治挑战。
She did very good," he told reporters, with Zacharia standing behind him, before jetting off for a historic visit to Alaska.DECODING TRUMP’S PICKZacharia's appointment came as a surprise in Washington after weeks of speculation over whom Trump would choose to replace his outgoing press secretary, Karoline Leavitt."A devoted fan and member of MAGA", as Trump described her, Zacharia takes charge of the White House's messaging as the US President faces mounting political challenges.
特朗普的支持率已降至历史低点，而共和党人正努力在下个月的中期选举中保持对国会的控制。总统敦促支持者投票，仿佛他的名字就在选票上，将这场竞赛变成对他总统任期的公投，背景是广泛的经济不满和一场不受欢迎的伊朗战争。扎卡里亚此前曾担任国土安全部发言人，现在担任特朗普媒体与科技集团的传播顾问，该集团拥有总统的社交媒体平台Truth Social。
Trump's approval rating has fallen to record lows, while Republicans are fighting to retain control of Congress in next month's midterm elections. The President has urged supporters to vote as though his name were on the ballot, turning the contest into a referendum on his presidency amid widespread economic discontent and an unpopular war with Iran. Zacharia previously served as a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security and now works as a communications adviser for Trump Media and Technology Group, which owns the President's social media platform, Truth Social.

扎卡里亚于2011年获得佩珀代因大学的法学学位。然而，关于她的法律资质的问题已经出现。她的名字未出现在加州律师协会的网站上，引发人们对她是否在家乡州通过律师资格考试的质疑。当一位记者问她在哪里通过了考试——成为律师的前提条件——时，扎卡里亚反驳道：“当我搬到中国的时候。”- 完”
Zacharia earned a law degree from Pepperdine University in 2011. However, questions have emerged over her legal credentials. Her name does not appear on the California State Bar's website, raising questions about whether she passed the bar exam in her home state.
