People always come up to me and they go, Trevor, as the host of The Daily Show how do you feel about Donald Trump?

人们总是来找我说,特雷弗,作为“每日秀”的主持人,你对唐纳德·特朗普有什么感觉?

I say well, I don't know how to feel about him that's the honest truth.

我说,嗯,我不知道对他有什么感觉,这是诚实的事实。

He's a paradox for me emotionally.

他在情感上对我来说是个悖论。

One part of me is terrified at the notion that he is president of the most powerful nation of the world, the other side of me knows that every day he's going to make me laugh.

一方面我害怕他是世界上最强大国家的总统,另一方面我知道他每天都会让我开怀大笑。

I cannot deny this.

我不能否认这一点。

And this is a tough place to be in because you have to process the very real situation that you are in and that is a dangerous one but at the same time you can acknowledge that when you laugh, you're not controlled by fear and that's something that I've always lived with in my life, in my family.

这是一个艰难的境地,因为你必须处理你所处的真实情况,比如一个危险的情况,但同时你也要承认,当你笑的时候,你不会被恐惧所控制,这是我在我的生活中,在我的家庭中一直赖以生活的东西。

My mother always said to me, she said when we are laughing, we are not afraid.

我妈妈总是跟我说,我们笑的时候,我们就无所畏惧。

When we are laughing we are experiencing our truer selves.

当我们笑的时候,我们正在体验更真实的自我。

It doesn't mean what I happening to us is not real but it means that we can process the very real world that is happening to us and in many ways I try and look at the positives.

这并不意味着发生在我们身上的事情不是真实的,而是意味着我们可以处理发生在我们身上的非常真实的世界,在很多方面,我都会试着去看积极的一面。

People go, is the world getting better?

人们会说,世界变得更好了吗?

I go I believe it's always getting better but in many ways the world is like the body.

我相信它会越来越好,但在很多方面,世界就像身体。

You cannot see the change when you look at it every single day but if you take snapshots you can see how things are getting better.

当你每天看它的时候,你看不到变化,但如果你拍快照,你可以看到事情是如何变得更好的。

You can also see how some things are getting worse, climate change is one of those

你还可以看到一些事情是如何变得更糟的,气候变化就是其中之一,

and that's where young people are stepping up and saying hey, hurricanes are a good example, the intensity of these once-in-a-lifetime events has increased, maybe it's time to do something.

这就是年轻人站出来说,飓风就是一个很好的例子,这些极端事件的概率已经增加了,也许是时候做点什么了。

Young people are speaking up.

年轻人都在大声疾呼。

Donald Trump is doing that.

唐纳德·特朗普正在这么做。

People are speaking up, they're engaging like never before.

人们开始大声疾呼,他们前所未有地吸引人。

For the first time in history we're living through a time period where we're learning about the presidency at the same time as the president which is engaging people like never before.

这是历史上第一次,我们生活在这样一个时代,我们在了解总统的同时,也在以前所未有的方式吸引人们。

You wake up, you read the newspaper and you go I never knew this before and somewhere at that exact same moment the president is reading that same newspaper saying the exact same thing and that for me is exciting.

你醒来,读报纸,你会说,我以前从来没有听说过这个,在同一时刻,总统正在看同样的报纸,说同样的事情,这对我来说很兴奋。

Is it scary?

很可怕吗?

Yes, but most exciting things are scary but honestly, I saw it over the last few weeks and I mean it's still unfolding now.

是的,但大多数令人兴奋的事情都会让人感到害怕,不过说实话,我在前几周就看过了,我的意思是,它现在还在继续。

You have Hurricane Maria which is wreaking havoc and moving to Puerto Rico now and we're seeing the devastation but we've also seen the giving.

飓风玛丽亚正在向波多黎各移动,造成严重破坏,但我们也看到了给予。

I was touched by how many people even on our show reached out and there is an opportunity for everyone to become a goalkeeper which is what excites me and that is in this new world of technology we have the opportunity to engage with activists on the ground level.

我很感动,很多人甚至在我们的节目中伸出了援助之手,每个人都有机会成为一名“goalkeeper”,这让我很兴奋,在这个新的科技世界里,我们有机会与基层的积极分子接触。

People often mock millennials and they say these are hashtag activists and I argue they're hashtag activists until they're given the opportunity to take it from a tweet into the street

人们经常嘲笑千禧一代,说他们是标签积极分子,之前我也认为他们是标签积极分子,直到他们有机会真的把推特上的言论在现实中发声,

and so I urge every single one of you in this room if you have the power, if you have the ability, if you have the information or the knowledge, take these people up on what they're offering.

所以我强烈要求在座的每一个人,如果你有力量,如果你有能力,如果你有信息或知识,接受他们提供的东西。

They're energized, they're optimistic, they're powerful beyond all measure and I'm proud to say that I am one of them, I am a millennial and by proxy I hope to be a goalkeeper.

他们精力充满活力,他们乐观,他们的力量不可估量,我很自豪地说,我是他们中的一员,我是千禧一代,我希望通过代理成为一名“goalkeeper”。

Thank you very much for having me and congratulations on everything today.

非常感谢你们邀请我并祝贺今天的一切。
