Vogue usually doesn't devote much of its coverage to boxing. But history will be made in London this summer when the Olympics feature women's boxing for the first time, and Vogue has published a compelling profile on Marlen Esparza.
Vogue雜志跟拳擊運動向來絕緣，然而這個歷史很快就要被打破。這個夏天的倫敦奧運會，女性拳擊手將首次登上奧運舞臺。為此，美國Vogue雜志特地對代表美國出塞的瑪倫˙埃斯帕扎進行了一期精彩的專訪。
Esparza started boxing when she was 11 in her hometown of Pasadena, Texas. Now 23, Esparza might be the best bet to win gold for the U.S.
埃斯帕扎出生于美國德克薩斯州帕薩迪納市，她11歲開始練習拳擊，在23歲的今天，埃斯帕扎已經成為美國最有可能爭奪奧運金牌的女拳擊選手。
The Vogue profile notes that she doesn't necessarily look the part: "A track-and-field athlete, perhaps, or a runner, but at five feet three and 112 pounds she is neither brawny nor particularly fierce-looking."
Vogue雜志在專訪中這樣評論她的外貌：“她看起來更像是一個田徑選手，或者一個跑者。一米六的身高，100斤左右的體重，不管怎么看，她都不屬于肌肉糾結、眼神兇狠的類型。”
But there's no arguing that she looks stunning in that red dress for her Vogue shoot, nor with her 69–2 record.
但是毫無疑問，即使沒有她69勝2敗的驕人成績，穿著紅裙的埃斯帕扎在Vogue的照片中依然令人心神震顫。
Her in-ring success prompted top-tier companies such as Nike, Coca-Cola and CoverGirl to sign Esparza to sponsorship deals. That allowed Esparza to quit her day job as a dental assistant to focus on training full time, and staying focused has required sacrifice and dedication.
她在拳擊場上的優秀表現吸引 了一大批大型公司的注意。耐克、可口可樂和封面女郎都跟她簽訂了廣告宣傳合同，隨之而來的廣告費則幫助埃斯帕扎擺脫了牙醫助手的工作，可以全身心地投入到拳擊的比賽當中。
"It's miserable, actually," she tells Vogue.
“打拳擊其實挺痛苦的。”她這樣對Vogue說。
"It's torture. I get mad. I don't date. I haven't gone out in a long time. It's just depressing. Thank God I don't have Facebook, because if I did, I'd be jealous of everybody. I don't want to know what I'm missing."
“它是一種折磨，有時候會讓我發狂。 我不約會，不跟朋友碰面，也不用Facebook。謝天謝地！如果我用的話，我會嫉妒身邊的每一個人，嫉妒他們可以享受生活。我不想知道自己為了拳擊犧牲了什么。”
