🇺🇸 English

Jon Stewart stated that he never truly intended to make first responders and their families the central focus of his charitable efforts.

乔恩·斯图尔特表示从未真正有意将慈善事业的重心置于急救人员及其家属之上。

It all simply happened naturally.

一切不过是顺其自然地发生了

The award-winning host of The Daily Show said he wanted to feel useful and to support those who have devoted their lives to helping others.

这位获奖的《每日秀》主持人让自己感到有用支持那些毕生致力于帮助他人的人

"These people are not X-Men," Stewart said.

这些人并非X战警,”斯图尔特说道

"They are hardly superheroes.

他们算不上超级英雄

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

他们不过是些做出了抉择男男女女罢了。

That choice is: 'I am willing to stand by others at their very worst moments.

那抉择便是:‘我愿在他人最为不堪的时刻守候其左右

Whatever circumstances may arise, so be it.

无论遭遇何种境况皆随它去吧

But this is what I am determined to do.'"

但这就是我决意要践行之事。’”

His support for the first responders of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks drove him to lobby indignantly and testify before Congress in 2019 to ensure that the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund would not run dry.

他对2001年9月11日恐怖袭击急救人员的支持促使他在2019年愤而展开游说并在国会作证以确保9·11受害者赔偿基金不致枯竭

He pushed to close a loophole in the PACT Act that left American service members exposed to radiation during the war in Afghanistan without medical coverage.

他推动堵上了《PACT法案》中的一处漏洞该漏洞致使在阿富汗战争期间暴露于辐射的美国军人缺乏医疗保障

That support is still going strong, as he announced on Friday that he will once again host the First Responders Children's Foundation's "Roll Call of Heroes" ceremony, which is scheduled to take place on October 28 in New York's Times Square to mark National First Responders Day.

这种支持仍在延续因为他于周五宣布他将再度主持第一响应者儿童基金会的“英雄点名”仪式该仪式定于10月28日在纽约时代广场举行,以纪念全国第一响应者日

"You get to meet the people who are being honored face to face, say 'well done' to them, and get to know young people who are genuinely committed to community affairs," he said.

你能够与那些受到表彰的人面对面向他们道一句干得好’,并结识真正投身社区事务的年轻人,”他说

"It is always a wonderful feeling to be able to touch the cornerstone that holds all of this together."

能够触摸到维系这一切的基石总是令人感到美好。”

Gillian Crane, President and CEO of the First Responders Children's Foundation, said the nonprofit is delighted that Stewart will return to host this year's event.

第一响应者儿童基金会总裁兼首席执行官吉莉安·克兰表示,该非营利组织对于斯图尔特将回来主持今年的活动感到非常高兴。

"His advocacy on behalf of first respondersespecially those battling 9/11-related illnessesmakes him the perfect host for this annual event," she said.

他为急救人员——尤其是那些与9·11相关疾病作斗争的人——所做的倡导,使他成为这一年度活动的完美主持人,”她说

"As the only national nonprofit dedicated to the children of first responders, we believe that shining a light on their parentsthe heroes who serve our communities every dayis a powerful way of saying thank you."

作为唯一一家致力于急救人员子女的全国性非营利组织我们相信让他们的父母——那些每天服务我们社区的英雄——受到关注,是一种强有力的感谢方式。”

This interview has been edited and condensed to ensure clarity of expression.

本次访谈内容业经编辑与删减,旨在确保表述清晰明了。

If we cannot take care of those who once took care of us, that exposes a profound and fundamental flaw in the scaffolding you erected when building society.

倘若我们无法照顾那些曾照顾我们的人那就暴露出构建社会时所搭起的支架存在深刻的根本缺陷

Clearly, in the aftermath of 9/11, you can see just how fragile this experiment is without those willing to run toward the collapsing structures.

显然在经历过9·11之后你会看到如果没有那些愿意奔向崩塌之处的人,这个实验是多么脆弱

I think this combines with anger at a political system that is only too happy to praise them when they are needed, yet equally happy to abandon them once they are no longer in the spotlight.

我认为这与对政治制度的愤怒结合在一起——这个制度在他们被需要时非常乐意赞扬他们而在他们不再处于焦点时又非常乐意抛弃他们

I believe this creates momentum.

我认为创造了动力

This is exactly what they did when they arrived on the scene.

这恰如他们抵达现场时的所作所为。

In essence, you are sorting and classifying urgent needs and matters that can be postponed.

实质上是在对紧急需求与可暂缓事项加以甄别分类

And in my view, children who have lost both parents to such a tragedy should rightly fall into your top-priority category.

而在我看来因这类悲剧而痛失双亲的孩子理应归入你的第一优先级范畴

Frankly speaking, by throwing yourself into it, even though you may hear of more grief, I believe that in some respects this is actually a good remedy for easing that pain.

坦率而言投身其中尽管你或许会耳闻更多悲恸但我认为从某些层面来讲这实则不失为缓解那份苦痛的一剂良方

Action, in a sense, is precisely the antidote to that feeling of helplessness and anxiety.

行动在某种意义上正是对那种无力感与焦灼感的解药

On the whole, there exists a quiet activism of living a joyful life.

总体而言,存在一种愉悦生活的静谧行动主义。

What I mean is that you live each day to the fullest, striving to become the best neighbour, citizen, and individual you can possibly be.

我的意思是,你充实地度过每一天,竭力成为你所能成为的最优秀的邻居、公民与个体。

The causes I devote myself to, one could say, took shape quite naturally.

我所投身的事业,可以说是水到渠成地形成的。

I want to make sure that when I get involved in something, I pour my whole heart into itthis is not charity tourism.

我期望确保,当我参与某项事务时,我会倾注全部心力——这并非慈善旅游。

I want it to be something I can commit to wholeheartedly, and for what I can contribute to be something they can genuinely put to use.

我希望它是我能够全情投入的事情,并且我所能贡献的东西是他们切实能够用得上的。
