"These are not the X-Men," Stewart said.
「這些並非X戰警,」史都華說道。
"They are not superheroes.
「他們並非超級英雄。
They are simply ordinary people—men and women—who made a choice.
他們不過是做出了抉擇的芸芸眾生——男男女女。
That choice is: 'I am willing to stand by people in their most difficult moments.
那個抉擇便是:『我願在人們最艱難的時刻陪伴左右。
Whatever happens, let it happen.
無論發生什麼,就讓它發生吧。
But this is precisely what I am determined to do.'"
但這正是我決意要做的事。』」
His support for the first responders of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks drove him to lobby furiously and testify before Congress in 2019 to ensure that the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund would not run out of money.
他對2001年9月11日恐怖攻擊急救人員的支持,促使他在2019年憤怒地遊說並在國會作證,以確保9/11受害者賠償基金不會耗盡資金。
He pushed to close a loophole in the PACT Act that left U.S. troops exposed to radiation during the war in Afghanistan without medical coverage.
他推動消除《PACT法案》中的一個漏洞,該漏洞使在阿富汗戰爭中暴露於輻射的美軍缺乏醫療保險。
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 on October 28 in New York's Times Square to mark National First Responders Day.
這樣的支持仍在繼續,因為他週五宣布,他將再次主持第一急救人員兒童基金會於10月28日在紐約時報廣場舉行的「英雄點名」儀式,以紀念全國急救人員日。
"You get to meet the people who are being honored face to face, say 'good job' to them, and get to know young people who are genuinely committed to community affairs," he said.
「你能夠與那些獲得表彰的人士面對面交流,向他們致上一句『好樣的』,並藉此結識真正投身社區事務的年輕人,」他表示。
"It's always good to be able to reach the roots that sustain all of this."
「能夠觸及支撐這一切的根基,始終是件好事。」
She said, "His advocacy for first responders, especially his efforts on behalf of those battling 9/11-related illnesses, makes him an ideal host for this annual event.
她說:「他對急救人員的倡議,尤其是為那些與9/11相關疾病抗爭的人所做的努力,使他成為這一年度活動的理想主持人。
As the only national nonprofit dedicated to serving the children of first responders, we believe that shining a spotlight on their parents—the heroes who serve our communities every day—is a powerful way to express our gratitude."
作為唯一專門服務於急救人員子女的全國性非營利組織,我們相信,聚焦於他們的父母——那些每天服務我們社區的英雄——是表達感謝的有力方式。」
If we fail to care for those who care for us, it exposes a deep, fundamental flaw in the scaffolding erected during the process of social construction.
若我們未能照顧那些照顧我們的人,便揭示了社會建構過程中所搭建的腳手架存在深層的根本缺陷。
Clearly, in the aftermath of 9/11, you can see just how fragile this experiment is without those willing to run toward the collapse.
顯然,在9/11之後,你會看到,若無那些願意奔向崩塌之處的人,這個實驗是多麼脆弱。
I think this, combined with anger at a political system that is only too eager to praise them when it needs them and equally eager to abandon them once they are no longer in the spotlight, created momentum.
我認為,這再加上對政治體制的憤怒——該體制在需要他們時極願讚揚他們,而在他們不再成為焦點時又極願拋棄他們——我想這創造了動力。
This is much like the approach they adopt when they arrive at the scene.
這就如同他們抵達現場時所採取的作法。
You are, to some extent, triaging what constitutes an urgent need and what can afford to wait.
你多少是在分診何謂緊急需求、何謂尚可等待之事。
And I think that children who lose their parents in tragedies of this kind are, in a sense, at the very top of your triage list.
而我認為,在這類悲劇中喪失父母的孩子,某種程度上可說是你分診清單上的第一順位。
Frankly, by throwing yourself into it, even though you may hear of more sorrow, I think that in a sense this actually becomes a kind of solace for that pain.
坦白說,投入其中,即便你可能聽聞更多悲傷,我認為在某種意義上,這反倒構成了對那份痛苦的一種慰藉。
Taking action is, to some extent, like an antidote to that sense of helplessness and anxiety.
付諸行動,某種程度上就像是對那種無助感與焦慮感的解藥。
Generally speaking, there exists a quiet form of activism, and that is simply to live well.
一般而言,存在著一種靜謐的積極行動,那便是好好生活。
What I mean is that you go about your life, trying to be the best neighbour, citizen, and individual you can possibly be.
我的意思是,你過你的日子,試著成為你能成為的最好的鄰居、公民和個人。
The causes I get involved in tend to emerge somewhat organically.
我參與的事業有點是有機地出現的。
I want to make sure that when I commit to something, I am fully invested — that it is not just charity tourism.
我想確保當我參與某件事時,我會徹底投入——那不是慈善觀光。
I hope it is something I can wholeheartedly devote myself to, and that what I have to offer is actually of use to them.
我希望那是我能完全投入的事,而且我能提供的東西是他們能用的。
