Colin Jost had his work cut out for him at the 2024 White House Correspondents' dinner. The Saturday Night Live writer and Weekend Update cohost delivered the gala's keynote roast Saturday, tackling many topics, from the state of print media and Donald Trump's multiple trials to the upcoming election and our current president doing cocaine.
科林·乔斯特在2024年的白宫记者晚宴上有他的工作。这位《周六夜现场》的编剧和《周末更新》的联合主持人在周六发表了晚会的主题演讲，讨论了许多话题，从印刷媒体的现状和唐纳德·特朗普的多重审判，到即将到来的选举和我们的现任总统吸食可卡因。
Some of the comedian's more successful jokes came at the expense of his wife, Scarlett Johansson. He opened his speech by greeting the First and Second families and remarked to Vice President Kamala Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, "As you can tell by all the comments about my wife, I am also used to being the Second Gentleman."
这位喜剧演员的一些更成功的笑话是以他的妻子斯嘉丽·约翰逊为代价的。他以问候第一和第二家庭开始演讲，并对副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的丈夫道格·埃姆霍夫说:“你可以从所有关于我妻子的评论中看出，我也习惯了作为第二绅士。”
Thought he faced a tough crowed at times, Jost also won laughs towards the end of his speech when he quipped that Johansson would individually greet every person at the dinner after the ceremony. "That’s really special, honey, thank you," he said. "Don’t be shy, come right up. She hates privacy."
虽然他有时会面对一群强硬的观众，但乔斯特在演讲结束时也赢得了笑声，他打趣说约翰逊会在仪式结束后的晚宴上单独问候每一个人。“这真的很特别，亲爱的，谢谢你，”他说。“别害羞，快上来。她讨厌隐私。”
Per tradition at any White House Correspondents' Dinner, the president was also the butt of several jokes. Jost focused mostly on Joe Biden's age, including claims that the Commander-in-Chief has grown senile in his golden years.
按照历届白宫记者晚宴的传统，总统也是几个笑话的笑柄。乔斯特主要关注乔·拜登的年龄，包括声称这位总司令在他的黄金时期变得衰老了。
"The last time I was in D.C. I left my cocaine at the White House," said Jost, referring to the mysterious bag of the drug found there last July. "Luckily, the president was able to put it to good use for his State of the Union. I am kidding, of course. The president doesn’t call it cocaine. He calls it high-speed rail."
“上次我在华盛顿特区的时候，我把可卡因落在了白宫，”乔斯特说，他指的是去年7月在白宫发现的那袋神秘的毒品。幸运的是，总统能够在他的国情咨文中很好地利用它。当然，我是在开玩笑。总统不把它叫做可卡因。他称之为高速铁路。”
Jost also pointed out the hypocrisy of presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump attacking Biden's age. "I love that Trump’s two attacks on President Biden are that he’s a senile old man and a criminal mastermind," he said. "I think you [have] got to pick one. It’s not like Trump himself is young and sharp. I am not saying both candidates are old, but you know Jimmy Carter is out there thinking, 'I could maybe win this thing.'"
乔斯特还指出，共和党候选人唐纳德·特朗普攻击拜登的年龄是虚伪的。“我喜欢特朗普对拜登总统的两次攻击，他是一个老人和一个犯罪策划者，”他说。“我认为你必须选择一个。特朗普本人又不年轻又犀利。我并不是说两位候选人都老了，但是你知道吉米·卡特在外面想，‘我也许能赢得这场选举。’”
The comic also made multiple jabs at Trump's ongoing legal battles, but his funniest barb addressed whom Trump may select as his running mate.
这部漫画还对特朗普正在进行的法律斗争进行了多次抨击，但他最有趣的讽刺是针对特朗普可能会选择谁作为他的竞选伙伴。
“Now that O.J. [Simpson] is dead, who is the frontrunner for Trump’s VP? Is it Diddy?" Jost asked the crowd. "I bet if Trump did select Diddy as his running mate, this race would still be tied.”
“现在O.J.(辛普森)死了，谁是特朗普副总统的领跑者?”是迪达吗?”乔斯问人群。“我敢打赌，如果特朗普真的选择了吹牛老爹作为他的竞选伙伴，这场比赛仍然会打成平手。”
Jost ended his speech on a sincere note, emphasizing how integral print media and journalists are to protecting democracy.
乔斯特诚挚地结束了他的演讲，强调了印刷媒体和记者在保护民主方面的重要作用。
"When you look at levels of freedom throughout history and even around the world today, this is the exception," he said. "This freedom is incredibly rare, and the journalists in this room help protect that freedom. We cannot ever take that for granted."
他说:“纵观历史乃至当今世界的自由水平，这是一个例外。”“这种自由极为罕见，而在座的记者们在帮助保护这种自由。我们不能认为这是理所当然的。”
