印度肌肉男“罗密欧”阿迪特亚·戴夫的身高只有2英尺9英寸(约合85厘米),是世界上最矮小的健美先生。
At just 2ft 9in, Indian muscleman Aditya 'Romeo' Dev is the world's smallest bodybuilder.
身材矮小的罗密欧在他的家乡印度帕格瓦拉很有名,因为他能够举起1.5公斤重的哑铃——而他的总体重也只不过9公斤。
Pint-sized Romeo is well-known in his hometown of Phagwara, India - for his ability to lift 1.5kg dumbbells - despite his overall 9kg body weight.
当地健身房每天都人山人海,人们蜂拥去那里看这位迷你肌肉男是怎么训练的。
Every day, crowds flock to the local gym to the see the mini-muscleman in training.
和其他矮小的人不同,罗密欧的身材非常匀称,他的头围是15英寸(约合38厘米),胸围是20英寸(约合50.8厘米)。
Unlike many dwarfs, Romeo is well proportioned, with a head circumference of 15in and a chest measurement of 20in.
罗密欧说:“我健身已经有两年了,我想我应该是世界上最强壮的矮小者。我一直都很健壮,不过我开始健身之后,我就因为力量而知名了。”
Romeo said: "I've been training as a bodybuilder for the last two years and by now I think I must be the strongest dwarf in the world. I have always been fit but since I started working out, I have become famous for my strength."
“我的身材从未成为我的阻碍。我不仅用哑铃训练,还跳有氧操和练习舞蹈。人们看到我总是很高兴。我也受邀参加电视节目,并在舞台上跳舞。”
"My size has never stopped me. I train with dumbbells and do aerobics and dance. People are always pleased to see me. I have been invited on TV shows and dance on stage."
他的教练兰吉特·帕尔花了很长时间帮助19岁的罗密欧将小小的肌肉变得完美。
His trainer Ranjeet Pal spents hours helping his 19-year-old protege build his small muscles to perfection.
“因为他个子小,我不让他做太繁重的练习。但是罗密欧尽力和常人做的一样多,而且更加有毅力。”
"Because of his small size, I don't assign him hard exercises. But Romeo trains more or less the same as anyone else and he's much more determined."
“他刚开始练习的时候,我坚持他应该做一个月的基本练习,比如有氧操、俯卧撑以及一些基本体操动作,为后面的练习做准备。”
"When he first started, I insisted he did a month of basic exercises like aerobics, push-ups and basic gymnastics to prepare his body."
“在那之后,我做了比较轻的哑铃,教他基本的举重练习,塑造他的肱二头肌和肱三头肌,我们注意了他的身材和体重,所以他没有受伤。”
"After that, I made lightweight dumbbells and taught him basic weight-lifting exercises to shape his biceps and triceps. His size and his weight were taken care of so that he never hurt himself."
罗密欧很有毅力,在当地各大电视台出镜之后,他希望能够从事娱乐行业。
Determined Romeo is hoping to have an entertainment career after performing in many local TV shows.
他说:“我通过跳舞和健身节目得到了不错的收入,但是我对挣钱不感兴趣。我的梦想是游历四方--我想去伦敦和我的偶像Jazzy-B一起表演。”
He said: "I earn good money through my dance and bodybuilding shows but being rich doesn't interest me. My dream is to travel a lot - I want to perform in London with my idol, Jazzy-B."
