Meet Muhammad Sameer, a Pakistani teenager dubbed by the internet as “human owl” boy for being a real head-turner.
遇上巴基斯坦少年穆罕默德.萨米尔,他因真的能够扭头而被互联网称为“猫头鹰男孩”。
The 14-year-old from Karachi, the capital of the Pakistani province of Sindh, has an incredibly flexible neck, allowing him to literally twist his neck 180 degrees, much like an owl.
这个14岁的少年来自于巴基斯坦信德省省会卡拉奇,他的脖子十分灵活,使得他能扭转脖子180度,像足了一只猫头鹰。
Sameer strongly believes his neck flexibility is his ticket to Hollywood. According to the Daily Mail, he hopes his talent will help him land a role in a movie.
萨米尔强烈认为,他脖子的灵活性是他进入好莱坞的门票。据《每日邮报》报道,他希望他的才能将会助他在电影中担任一个角色。
“I would have been six or seven when I saw an actor in a Hollywood horror movie turning his head to look behind him. It fascinated me. I started practicing for it and within few months, I was able to it,” Sameer was quoted as saying.
萨米尔被援引称:“我六七岁的时候,看到一部好莱坞恐怖片中的一位明星扭过头来,看他的后面。这吸引了我。我开始练习,几个月内,我就做到了。”
“My mother slapped me when she saw me doing this and told me never to do it again as I might end up hurting my neck but with time she realized that I’m God gifted,” he added. “My dream is to work like that actor in Hollywood horror movies.”
“我的母亲在看到我做这个时打了我,并且告诉我不要再做这个了,因为我可能会以伤到自己的脖子而收尾,但是随着时间的流逝,她意识到我是有天赋的,”他补充道。“我的梦想是在好莱坞恐怖片中担任那样的演员。”
Unfortunately, life hasn’t always been easy for Sameer. He had to drop out of school and start working at an early age to support his family after his 49-year-old father fell ill.
不幸的是,萨米尔的日子过得并不轻松。在他49岁的父亲生病后,他就不得不年少辍学工作,支撑家庭。
