我被告知,这种比赛是违法的。德瑞克和我讲了俱乐部的赌徒,人群喧闹,纵酒狂欢,比基尼女孩在周围热舞,讨好获胜选手。但他却把拳台当成神殿,把它当成通往幸福生活的门票。
In China and elsewhere, there are many at-risk youth like Derek — kids at the margins of society with little to live for. Hopelessness can lead them into criminal gangs, drugs, prostitution, violence, prison and even suicide. Derek himself carries the scars of self-inflicted knife wounds from the time he tried to take his own life and failed.
无论在中国还是其他国家,都有很多像德里克这样处于危险中的青年,他们生活在社会边缘,几乎无法谋生。绝望可能让他们走向团伙犯罪、毒品、卖淫、暴力、监狱、甚至自杀。德瑞克身上留有多处自杀未遂的刀疤。
Bottom line: When there's nowhere else to go, it's easy to go nowhere.
当人无路可走时,最终就很容易走向极端。
The vicious cycle can only be broken by caring people. In the United States, it's police departments that have taken the lead with at-risk youth. As society's first line of defense, officers see firsthand the problems of people like Derek. At hundreds of Police Athletic League centers in every US state, officers volunteer to mentor kids and point them in a positive direction.
有人关心他们才能打破这个恶性循环。在美国,警察率先带头帮助这些问题青年。作为社会安全的第一道防线,警官亲眼看到了德瑞克这样的少年遇到的问题。美国每个州都有数百所警察体育联盟中心,警员自愿充当孩子们的导师,为他们指明前进的道路。
