A young man with wrench in hand, is hunched over, surrounded by the machinery that defines his job. But while constrained by the machinery (almost a metal womb), the man is straining against it—muscles taut, with a determined look—in an iconic representation of masculinity.
一個手持扳手的年輕人彎腰駝背,周圍環繞著他的是不同機器。 但是,雖然受到機器的約束,但這個男人正在努力抵抗它——他繃緊肌肉,神情堅定——象徵著男子氣概。
