There's much to admire in Calcutta's famed Mallick Ghat flower market, but Danish photographer Ken Hermann focused on the dudes. It's easy to see why. The combination of stoic men draped in all manner of florals certainly does a number on traditional visions of masculinity.
加尔各答非常著名的Mallick Ghat市场里，琳琅满目的商品让人流连忘返，但是丹麦摄影师肯·赫尔曼的关注点则在小贩上。其中的原因很简单。坚忍的男人和点缀了各式鲜花的服装，这样的搭配突显了传统的男性之美。

The men are flower sellers, which explains both their choice of accessory. 
这些男人都是以贩卖鲜花为生，这也是他们选择了花做为服饰的一部分的原因。

Some are carrying tiny bouquets and others are hidden in flora.
有些人拿着小花束，有的浑身都挂满了花。

In an email to HuffPost, Hermann singled out the visual power of how the men transport their wares, almost "like they [were] wearing big flower dresses." 
在给HuffPost的一封邮件中，赫尔曼挑选了一些图片，内容展示了这些卖花男人们的服饰，“他们就像是穿着大号的花裙子一样”。

The inbuilt beauty of the contrast struck him, of "strong and masculine men handling the flowers with so much care."
这些图片的强烈对比而带来的内在美震撼了他——“强壮阳刚的男人们如此小心地拿着这些花儿。”

The market itself is more than a century old, and the largest wholesale source for flowers in all of Asia. 
这个市场已经有上百岁的历史，是亚洲最大的鲜花批发销售的源头。

Sellers set up in the early hours of the morning every day, across from the Hooghly River, a tributary of the Ganges -- which also features heavily in Hermann's series. 
每天一大清早小贩们就开始摆摊，地点在胡格利湖（恒河的一条支流）的对面——在赫尔曼的系列摄影中非常显眼。
