He is laser-focused on his dream, working out five hours a day so he can enter an octagon in a dimly lit private club for a chance to win enough prize money to heal, and then fight again. He might get bloodied. He might bloody his opponent. Either way, it’s punishing, dangerous work, if you can call it that.
他一心执着于自己的梦想,每天锻炼5个小时,以便自己能登上某个昏暗的私人俱乐部的八角形场地,有机会赢得足够的奖金疗伤,然后再次投入战斗。他可能会遍体鳞伤,也可能重伤他的对手。不管怎样,这是一种既辛苦又危险的工作,如果它可以称之为工作的话。
Youngsters like Derek who have nowhere else to go are easy marks for exploitation. They fight for survival.
像德里克这样走投无路的年轻人,很容易上当受骗,被人剥削。他们为生存而挣扎。
Derek lives alone. A week ago, he scraped up everything he had for an entry fee of 500 yuan ($75). The winner would be paid 4,000 yuan.
德里克独自生活。一周前,他用自己的全部家当凑了500元的报名费。而比赛最后的赢家将会获得4000元的奖金。
Derek, who weighs 61 kilograms, was paired against a 19-year-old who was 17 kg heavier — a dangerous mismatch. Four years of development matters.
61公斤重的德里克,被分到了一个比他重17公斤的19岁对手。这是一场实力悬殊的危险较量。四年的发育差距至关重要。
