Jon Stewart states that he did not deliberately make a decision to focus his charitable efforts on first responders and their families.

ゞョン・スチュワヌトは、自身の慈善掻動をファヌストレスポンダヌずその家族に焊点を圓おようず意図的に決断を䞋したわけではないず述べおいる。

Rather, it came about organically.

むしろ、それは自然発生的にそうなったのである。

The award-winning host of "The Daily Show" stated that he derived a sense of being of service, and that he wished to lend his support to those who dedicate their lives to helping others.

「ザ・デむリヌ・ショヌ」においお受賞歎を有する叞䌚者は、自らが圹に立っおいるずいう実感を埗おおり、他者を支揎するこずに生涯を捧げる人々を埌抌ししたいず願った、ず述べた。

Stewart asserts that they are not the X-Men.

スチュワヌトは圌らをX-メンではないず断じる。

"Nor are they superheroes.

「スヌパヌヒヌロヌでもない。

They are simply men and women who made a decision.

ただ決断を䞋した男性ず女性だ。

That decision is: 'I intend to be there in people's worst moments.

その決断ずは『私は人々の最悪の瞬間にそこにいる぀もりだ。

Whatever happens, happens, but that is what I have decided.'"

䜕が起きおも起きるが、それが私の決めたこずだ』ずいうものだ」

His advocacy on behalf of first responders to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks culminated in 2019 in irate lobbying and congressional testimony aimed at averting the insolvency of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund.

2001幎9月11日のテロ攻撃に際しおのファヌストレスポンダヌぞの支揎は、2019幎に9月11日被害者補償基金が資金䞍足に陥るこずを回避せんがための、怒りに満ちたロビヌ掻動および議䌚蚌蚀ぞず垰結した。

He worked to close a loophole in the PACT Act that would leave U.S. troops exposed to radiation during the war in Afghanistan without medical compensation.

圌は、アフガニスタン戊争䞭に米軍が医療補償を受けるこずなく攟射線被曝を匷いられるこずずなるPACT法の抜け穎を排陀すべく尜力した。

And that endeavor continues to this day: on Friday he announced that he would return as host of the First Responder Children's Foundation's "Roll Call of Heroes" ceremony, commemorating National First Responders Day, to be held on October 28 in Times Square in New York.

そしおその取り組みは珟圚も継続しおおり、圌は金曜日、10月28日にニュヌペヌクのタむムズスク゚アで開催されるファヌストレスポンダヌ子䟛財団の「ロヌルコヌル・オブ・ヒヌロヌズ」匏兞——党囜ファヌストレスポンダヌの日を蚘念するもの——の叞䌚者ずしお埩垰するず発衚した。

"It affords one the opportunity to stand face to face with those being honored, to offer them words of encouragement—'well done'—and to encounter the truly young people engaged in work within the community," he remarks.

「顕地される人々ず盞察し、『よくやった』ず激励の蚀葉を投げかけ、コミュニティにおいお掻動に埓事する真に若き人々ず邂逅するこずが叶う」ず圌は語る。

"To be able to come into direct contact with the very foundation that supports this in its entirety is, invariably, an utterly wonderful thing."

「これを䜙すずころなく支えおいる基盀に盎接觊れるこずができるずは、垞にこの䞊なく玠晎らしいこずである」

Jillian Crane, President and CEO of the First Responders Children's Foundation, expressed, on behalf of the entire nonprofit organization, that it welcomed Stewart's return as host of this year's event.

ファヌストレスポンダヌ子䟛財団の䌚長兌CEOであるゞリアン・クレむンは、同非営利団䜓を挙げお、スチュワヌトが本幎床的催しの叞䌚を再び務めるこずを歓迎する旚を衚明した。

"His advocacy on behalf of first responders, particularly those battling 9/11-related illnesses, makes him the ideal host for this annual event," she says.

「ファヌストレスポンダヌ、殊に9/11関連の疟患ず闘う人々に察する圌の擁護掻動は、圌をこの幎次行事の申し分のない叞䌚者たらしめおいる」ず圌女は述べる。

"As the only national nonprofit dedicated to the children of first responders, we firmly believe that shining a light on their heroic parents, who serve their communities every day, is an exceptionally powerful way to express our gratitude."

「ファヌストレスポンダヌの子䟛たちに捧げられた唯䞀の党囜的非営利団䜓ずしお、私たちは、日々コミュニティに奉仕する英雄たる圌らの芪に光を圓おるこずが、感謝を䌝える極めお力匷い方途であるず確信しおいる」

This interview has been edited and condensed for the sake of clarity.

本むンタビュヌは明瞭性を期すべく、線集ならびに芁玄が斜されおいる。

If we cannot care for those who care for us, then the very kind of scaffolding we erect in constructing society will reveal a fundamental defect rooted in its depths.

もし我々をケアしおくれる人々をケアするこずが叶わぬのであれば、瀟䌚を構築する䞊で我々が匵る足堎の皮類には、深局に根ざした根本的欠陥が露呈するこずになる。

Now, after the experience of the post-9/11 period, it should be evident just how fragile this experiment is, were there not people prepared to race headlong toward collapse.

9/11埌の経隓を経た今、厩壊ぞず向かっお疟走する甚意のある人々が存圚しなければ、この実隓がいかに脆匱的であるかは明らかであろう。

I believe that, combined with anger at a political system ever ready to applaud them when they are needed yet equally ready to discard them the moment they can no longer be the focus, this generated a momentum.

私が思うに、圌らが必芁ずされる局面においおは称賛する甚意がありながら、もはや焊点であり埗なくなった途端に切り捚おる甚意のある政治システムに察する怒りず盞たっお、そこに勢いが生み出されたのである。

It is the kind of undertaking they carry out upon arriving at the scene.

それは、圌らが珟堎に到着した際に遂行する類の営みである。

In other words, it is nothing other than triage—sorting urgent needs from those that can be deferred.

すなわち、緊急を芁するニヌズず猶予し埗るものを遞別するトリアヌゞにほかならない。

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

そしお、この皮の悲劇においお芪を喪った子䟛たちは、䞀皮の最優先トリアヌゞ案件であるず私は考える。

To put it bluntly, becoming involved will probably mean hearing more grief, yet in a sense I think it is in fact a salve for that pain.

率盎に蚀えば、関䞎するこずは、おそらくより倚くの悲嘆を耳にするこずになるかもしれないが、実のずころある意味でその苊痛に察する軟膏なのだず私は思う。

Action is something like an antidote to that feeling of helplessness and anxiety.

行動ずは、その無力感ず䞍安ずいう感情に察する解毒剀のようなものなのだ。

Broadly speaking, there exists something akin to a quiet activism of living agreeably.

䞀般的に、快く生きるこずの静かな掻動䞻矩のようなものが存圚する。

That is to say, it consists in striving, as one goes about one's days, to be the finest neighbour, citizen, and individual one can be.

すなわち、日々を過ごしながら、最高の隣人、垂民、個人であろうず努めるこずである。

The causes I have taken up arose organically.

私が取り組む原因は自然発生的に生じた。

And if I am to involve myself in something, I want to see it through to the very end — not engage in charity tourism.

そしお、䜕かに関わるのであれば培底的にやり遂げたい――慈善芳光ではなく。

I wish to be able to commit myself fully, and to ensure that what I have to offer is something they can genuinely put to use.

完党に関䞎するこずができ、私が提䟛しうるものが圌らにずっお掻甚可胜なものであるこずを望んでいる。
