Jon Stewart said he never truly decided to focus his charitable efforts on first responders and their families; it simply happened naturally.

喬恩·史都華表示,他從未真正決定要將慈善努力聚焦於急救人員及其家屬,這只是自然而然發生的。

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

這位曾獲獎的《每日秀》主持人表示他想要覺得自己有用並支持那些將一生奉獻給幫助他人的人

"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 peoplemen and womenwho made a choice.

他們不過是做出了抉擇芸芸眾生——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。」

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

第一急救人員兒童基金會總裁兼執行長吉莉安·克蘭表示該非營利組織對於史都華將回來主持今年的活動一事,感到十分欣喜

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 parentsthe heroes who serve our communities every dayis 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——表達感謝的有力方式。」

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

本次訪談業經編輯與精簡,旨在確保表述清晰。

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 investedthat 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
