Apparently, he likes to say her name with a French accent. “Na-tah-lee!” the president cries out, in that affected(做作的，矫揉造作的) tone of faux-formality(虚假的正式，假正经) that one might use with a person they love but do not quite respect, and she comes running, her thin legs teetering(摇摇欲坠，蹒跚) on her heels.
显然，他喜欢用法语口音念她的名字。“娜-塔-莉！”总统用那种装腔作势的假正经腔调喊道，就像一个人对某个他爱但并不十分尊重的人说话时那样，而她则跑过来，细腿在高跟鞋上摇摇晃晃。
Natalie Harp, Trump’s 35-year-old “executive assistant”, was an odd recurring(反复出现的，循环的) character in the latest blockbuster(轰动一时的，极成功的) Trump administration book, Regime Change, by the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. In the book, Harp features like a silent sentinel(哨兵，岗哨), ever present but eerily(怪异地，令人不安地) quiet as Trump rants and raves(咆哮怒吼，大声斥责). It’s not exactly clear what the scope of her responsibilities is; though, as Jamelle Bouie points out, the fact that she evidently helps run the president’s social media accounts, which can sway markets and influence his foreign counterparts, makes her one of the most powerful people in the federal government.(她的职责范围并不完全清楚；但正如布伊指出的，她显然帮助管理总统的社交媒体账户，这使她成为最有权势的人之一。)
娜塔莉·哈泼，特朗普35岁的“行政助理”，是《纽约时报》记者玛吉·哈伯曼和乔纳森·斯旺所著的最新畅销书《政权更迭》中一个奇怪的反反复复出现的人物。在书中，哈泼像一个沉默的哨兵，当特朗普咆哮怒吼时，她总在场，却诡异地安静。她的职责范围究竟有多大并不完全清楚；不过，正如贾梅尔·布伊所指出的，她显然帮助管理总统的社交媒体账户，这些账户可以影响市场并影响他的外国同行，这一事实使她成为联邦政府中最有权势的人之一。
But the dignity of Harp’s character does not often seem to equal the gravity of her influence: once, she was caught on video sprinting across a golf course on foot, chasing the golf cart that was speeding the president away to the next hole.(但哈泼的尊严似乎配不上她影响力的分量：她曾被拍到奔跑追赶高尔夫球车。) For a while, she was called the “human printer” among Trump aides, in reference to(关于，提到) the portable printer that Harp carries around with her: one of the primary ways she spends her time appears to be searching for flattering news stories and social media commentary about the president online, and printing it out to nourish(滋养，培养) his self-regard. But from Haberman and Swan’s reporting, it was not always clear exactly what Harp was thinking. Though many Trumpworld insiders are clearly identifiable as off-the-record(不公开的，不得引用的) sources in their book, Harp does not seem to be among them.
但哈泼这个角色的尊严似乎常常配不上她影响力的分量：有一次，她被拍到在球场上奔跑，追赶载着总统驶向下一个洞的高尔夫球车。有一段时间，她被特朗普助手们称为“人肉打印机”，因为她随身携带便携式打印机：她消磨时间的主要方式之一似乎是上网搜索关于总统的奉承性新闻和社交媒体评论，然后打印出来滋养他的自尊。但从哈伯曼和斯旺的报道来看，并不总是清楚哈泼到底在想什么。尽管特朗普世界的许多内部人士在他们的书中明显可以被认定为匿名消息来源，但哈泼似乎不在其中。
