John Stewart has stated that he did not deliberately decide to focus his charitable efforts on first responders and their families; rather, it came about spontaneously.

ジョン・スチュワートは、自身の慈善活動をファーストレスポンダーとその家族に焦点を当てようと意図的に決断したわけではないと述べており、それはむしろ自然発生的なものであった。

The host, who has won numerous awards on "The Daily Show," said that he feels he is being useful and that he wants to support those who dedicate their lives to helping others.

「ザ・デイリー・ショー」で数々の受賞歴を誇る司会者は役に立っていると実感しており他者を助けることに人生を捧げる人々を支援したいと述べた

Stewart asserts that they are neither X-Men nor superheroes.

スチュワートは彼らをX-メンでもスーパーヒーローでもない断じる

They are simply men and women who have made a decision.

彼らはただ決断を下した男性と女性にすぎない

That is, the decision: "I intend to be there in people's worst moments. No matter what happens, that is the decision I have made."

すなわち「私は人々の最悪の瞬間にそこにいるつもりだ何が起きようと構わないがそれが私の下した決断なのだ」という決断である。

The efforts concerning support for first responders who responded to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks developed in 2019 into intense lobbying and congressional testimony aimed at preventing the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund from running out of money.

2001年9月11日の同時多発テロ攻撃に対応したファーストレスポンダーへの支援をめぐる取り組みは2019年、9月11日被害者補償基金が資金不足に陥るのを防ごうとする激しいロビー活動と議会証言へと発展した

He also pushed to close a loophole in the PACT Act that has left U.S. service members exposed to radiation during the war in Afghanistan without receiving medical compensation.

彼はまた、アフガニスタン戦争中に米軍兵士が医療補償を受けないまま放射線にさらされる事態を招いているPACT法の抜け穴を塞ぐよう働きかけた

That work continues to this day, and on Friday he announced that he will once again take the stage as host of the First Responders Children's Foundation's "Roll Call of Heroes" ceremony, to be held on October 28 in Times Square in New York.

その取り組みは現在も続いており、彼は金曜日、10月28日にニューヨークのタイムズスクエアで開催されるファーストレスポンダー子供財団の「ロールコール・オブ・ヒーローズ」式典の司会者として再び登壇すると発表した

This commemorates National First Responders Day.

これは全国ファーストレスポンダーの日を記念するものである

"You get to meet the honorees face to face, pat them on the back and say 'job well done,' and meet the very young people working in the community," he says.

受賞者たちと直接顔を合わせ、『よくやった』と労いの言葉をかけコミュニティで活動するごく若い人々と出会うことができる」と彼は語る

"It's always wonderful to have direct contact with the foundation that underpins all of this."

こうしたすべてを下支えしている基盤に直接触れられるのはいつだって素晴らしいことだ」

Jillian Crane, the president and CEO of the First Responders Children's Foundation, said that the nonprofit organization is delighted that Stewart is returning to host this year's event.

ファーストレスポンダー子供財団の会長兼CEOであるジリアン・クレインは、同非営利団体がスチュワートの今年のイベントの司会復帰を喜ばしく思っていると述べた。

"His advocacy for first responders, especially those battling 9/11-related illnesses, makes him an impeccable choice to host this annual event," she says.

ファーストレスポンダー特に9/11関連の疾病闘う人々への彼の擁護が、彼をこの年次イベントの司会者として申し分のない存在にしていると彼女は述べる

"As the only national nonprofit dedicated specifically to the children of first responders, we are convinced that shining a light on their parentsheroes who serve their communities every dayserves as a powerful way to express our gratitude."

ファーストレスポンダーの子供たちに特化した唯一の全国的非営利団体として私たちは日々コミュニティに奉仕する英雄である彼らの親に光を当てることが感謝を伝える力強い手段になると確信している

本インタビューは明瞭性を期すため、編集および要約が施されている。

If we cannot care for those who care for us, it exposes a deep, fundamental flaw in the kind of scaffolding we erect in building a society.

もし私たちをケアしてくれる人々をケアできなければ社会を築く上で張る足場の種類に深い根本的な欠陥が露呈する

Clearly, in the wake of the post-9/11 experience, one comes to see just how fragile this experiment is without people who are prepared to run headlong toward collapse.

明らかに9/11後の経験を経て崩壊に向かって走る用意のある人々がいなければこの実験がいかに脆いかがわかる

I believe that, combined with anger at a political system that is ready to praise them when they are needed and to discard them once they are no longer the focus, this generated momentum.

私は彼らが必要とされたときには称賛する用意がありもはや焦点でなくなると捨てる用意がある政治システムへの怒りと組み合わさって勢いを生み出したと思う。

It is the kind of act they perform upon arriving at the scene, akin to triaging urgent needs against what can be deferred.

それは彼らが現場に到着した際に行う類の行為であり緊急のニーズ後回しにできるものトリアージするようなものである

And I believe that children who have lost their parents in this kind of tragedy are a sort of top-priority triage case.

そしてこの種の悲劇で親を失った子供たちは一種の最優先トリアージ案件だと私は思う

To be honest, getting involved may well mean hearing about more grief, but in fact, in a sense, I think it is a salve for that pain.

正直に言えば関わることはおそらくより多くの悲しみを聞くことになるかもしれないが実際にはある意味でその痛みへの軟膏だと思う

Action is something like an antidote to those feelings of helplessness and anxiety.

行動はその無力感と不安の感情への解毒剤のようなものだ

Generally speaking, there exists something like a quiet activism of living graciously.

一般的に快く生きることの静かな活動主義のようなものが存在する

That is, as we go about our days, we strive to be the best neighbours, citizens, and individuals we can be.

すなわち日々を過ごしながら最高の隣人市民そして個人であろうと努めることである

The causes I take on arise organically, and when I get involved in something, I want to see it through thoroughlynot as charity tourism.

私が取り組む原因は自然発生的に生まれたものであり何かに関わる際には徹底的にやり遂げたいと願う――慈善観光ではなく

I want to be able to engage fully, and I want what I have to offer to be something they can actually make use of.

完全に関与することができ私が提供できるものが彼らにとって活用可能なものであることを望んでいる。
