叙利亚乒乓女孩梦想来华训练，中国：安排

“我希望达到中国队的水平，我期待着与中国队进行同样的训练。”

On July 24, the young Zaza lost her match to Chinese-­Austrian athlete Liu Jia 4-0 during the preliminaries. Although Zaza had hoped for a better showing, the loss capped a whirlwind trip. The night before her match, she was a flag bearer for Syria at the opening ceremony. A late night, plus the lingering six-hour jet lag, meant that she barely slept — not great preparation against Liu, who is making her sixth Olympic appearance.

7月24日，年轻的扎扎在预赛中以0-4输给了奥地利华裔运动员刘佳。尽管扎扎希望能有更好的表现，但这场失利给她短暂的奥运之旅画上了句号。比赛的前一天晚上，她在开幕式上担任叙利亚代表队的旗手。熬夜，再加上六个小时的时差，意味着她没怎么睡——这让她不能为迎战刘佳做好准备，而刘佳已经是第六次参加奥运会。

"I was hoping for a winning match and for better play, but it's a tough opponent so it's a good lesson for me, especially with the first Olympics," Zaza said through an interpreter. "I will work on it to get a better result next time, hopefully."

扎扎通过翻译表示：“我希望能赢得比赛，打好球，但对手很厉害，所以这对我来说是很棒的一课，尤其还是第一次参加奥运会。希望下次能取得更好的成绩。”

Still, with her long hair bouncing as she did around the table, Zaza showed ability that impressed her seasoned opponent.

尽管如此，扎扎的长发随着她围着球台跑动而甩动，她展现出的能力也给经验丰富的对手留下了深刻的印象。
