前白宫新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚指责记者在报道特朗普总统时助长了“特朗普精神错乱综合征”。
扎卡里亚在经历艰难的首秀及其法律背景受到审视后，上任五天即遭解职。
Former White House press secretary Katie Zacharia, who was fired from her role after five days following a rocky debut and scrutiny of her legal background, accused reporters of fueling “Trump Derangement Syndrome” in their coverage of President Trump.
尽管扎卡里亚在不到两周前被解职后一直相对沉默，但在周一《纽约邮报》发表的一篇评论文章中，这位前新闻秘书重申了她对总统的忠诚，并将她那段风波不断的报道经历归咎于媒体。
While Zacharia has remained relatively quiet since her ouster less than two weeks ago, in an op-ed published Monday by The New York Post, the former press secretary reiterated her loyalty to the president and blamed the press for her tumultuous coverage.
“总统理应拥有一个如实报道其政绩的记者团——而不是助长假新闻不断滋养的、无药可救的特朗普精神错乱综合征，”她写道。
“The president deserves a press corps that reports his results straight — instead of feeding the incurable Trump Derangement Syndrome that fake news keeps alive,” she wrote.
扎卡里亚被解职后返回了加利福尼亚州，她明确表示无意抛弃特朗普，并将自己离开白宫描述为一次暂时的挫折。
Zacharia, who returned to California after her firing, made clear she has no plans to abandon Trump, describing her departure from the White House as a temporary setback.
“我一直想为唐纳德·特朗普总统工作，所以回到加州感觉像是一段插曲——是介于最重要的工作之间的一次暂时停顿，”她说。
“I’ve always wanted to work for President Donald Trump, so being back in California feels like an interlude — a temporary pause between the work that matters most,” she said.
扎卡里亚引用了特朗普1997年出版的《卷土重来的艺术》一书中的一句话，他在书中写道：“永不放弃，永远反击。”
Zacharia used a quote from Trump’s 1997 book, “The Art of the Comeback,” where he wrote, “Never quit and always hit back.”
这位前新闻秘书表示，这句座右铭一直指引着她，并补充说她在竞选活动中看到总统身体力行地践行着这句话。
The former press secretary said that mantra continued to guide her, adding that she watched the president live by those words on the campaign trail.
这篇评论文章的大部分内容聚焦于特朗普在11月3日中期选举前为拉拢共和党选民所做的努力，在这场竞争激烈的选举季中，共和党正努力保住其在参议院和众议院的多数席位。
Much of the op-ed focused on Trump’s efforts to rally Republican voters ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections, where the party is working to protect its Senate and House majorities amid a contentious campaign season.
“他之所以奔走于竞选活动，是因为共和党候选人需要只有他才能带来的投票率提升，而他正以白宫前所未见的速度和强度提供这种支持，”她写道。
“He is on the trail because Republican candidates need the turnout boost only he can deliver, and he is supplying it at a pace and intensity the White House has never seen before,” she wrote.
