英國(guó)有位銀行家,白天正常工作,晚間就出沒(méi)于大街小巷,追蹤毒販、小偷、強(qiáng)盜,打擊犯罪維護(hù)治安,簡(jiǎn)直就是現(xiàn)代版的“佐羅”。
In his suit and working as a banker by day, this man looks an unlikely superhero - but by night, he becomes 'The Statesmen' and fights crime on Britain's streets.
他白天是西裝革履的銀行家,看上去完全不像超級(jí)英雄,但是在晚上他就悄然化身正義使者,出沒(méi)街頭,掃蕩犯罪。
Dressed in a Union Flag T-shirt and with a black Zorro-style mask covering his eyes, he claims even his girlfriend is in the dark about his nocturnal activities - which is hard to believe, especially given his distinctive facial hair.
這位現(xiàn)代大俠晚上出去行俠仗義的時(shí)候,會(huì)穿一件英國(guó)國(guó)旗T恤,戴著一個(gè)佐羅式的眼罩。他說(shuō)就連他女朋友也不知道他會(huì)在晚上喬裝出去打擊犯罪。這不大可信,因?yàn)樗暮訉?shí)在是太顯眼了。
The former soldier in the Territorial Army, who wears a black mask, utility belt, Union Flag top, fingerless gloves, combat trousers and military boots, uses his skills as a trained pugilist.
這位銀行家曾經(jīng)在英國(guó)本土防衛(wèi)自衛(wèi)隊(duì)服役,他用自己所學(xué)的拳擊技術(shù),每晚戴著黑色面具,系著多功能腰帶,穿著國(guó)旗裝和軍褲,戴著露指手套,腳蹬軍靴,全副武裝追蹤犯罪分子。
And he shirks cutting-edge gadgets for a first aid kit, a torch to startle burglars and a notepad for writing down important information. A cheap mobile phone in case he needs to call support of the police completes his arsenal.
他還隨身帶有急救設(shè)施、火把(用于驚嚇入室盜竊者)、記事本(用于記錄重要信息)、一部便宜的手機(jī)(用來(lái)聯(lián)系警方)。
He said: 'I work for a large bank dealing with savings and investments. All day I look at numbers and percentages and work out how to make people richer.
他說(shuō):“白天我在一家從事儲(chǔ)蓄和投資的大銀行工作,與各種數(shù)字打交道,工作目的就是為讓客戶多賺錢(qián)。”
'It's not a popular occupation but I like to think I make up for this by going out at night and trying to do something to help everybody.'
“這不是一份讓人喜歡的工作,但是我覺(jué)得我夜間做的幫助別人的事可以補(bǔ)償我白天工作的苦悶。”
