英国有位银行家,白天正常工作,晚间就出没于大街小巷,追踪毒贩、小偷、强盗,打击犯罪维护治安,简直就是现代版的“佐罗”。
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.
他白天是西装革履的银行家,看上去完全不像超级英雄,但是在晚上他就悄然化身正义使者,出没街头,扫荡犯罪。
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.
这位现代大侠晚上出去行侠仗义的时候,会穿一件英国国旗T恤,戴着一个佐罗式的眼罩。他说就连他女朋友也不知道他会在晚上乔装出去打击犯罪。这不大可信,因为他的胡子实在是太显眼了。
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.
这位银行家曾经在英国本土防卫自卫队服役,他用自己所学的拳击技术,每晚戴着黑色面具,系着多功能腰带,穿着国旗装和军裤,戴着露指手套,脚蹬军靴,全副武装追踪犯罪分子。
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.
他还随身带有急救设施、火把(用于惊吓入室盗窃者)、记事本(用于记录重要信息)、一部便宜的手机(用来联系警方)。
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.
他说:“白天我在一家从事储蓄和投资的大银行工作,与各种数字打交道,工作目的就是为让客户多赚钱。”
'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.'
“这不是一份让人喜欢的工作,但是我觉得我夜间做的帮助别人的事可以补偿我白天工作的苦闷。”
