When she heard the banging on her door, 82-year-old Willie Murphy knew immediately something wasn’t right.
82岁的Willie Murphy听到门“砰”的一声，就知道情况不对。

Then the man smashed his way into her Rochester, N.Y. home.
然后一个男人冲进了她位于纽约罗切斯特市的家中。

“He picked the wrong house to break into,” she told WHAM 13 News.
她对《WHAM 13 News》说：“他闯错地方了。”

Murphy isn’t your average octogenarian.
Murphy可不是普通的八旬老人。

In 2018, she won the World Natural Powerlifting Federation Upstate New York Championships, and says she can deadlift 225 pounds. She’s also appeared on ESPN and the Rachel Ray Show.
2018年她在世界自然举重联合会纽约州北部锦标赛中夺冠，她说可以硬举225磅，还上过娱乐与体育节目电视网和《Rachel Ray Show》节目。

So when she was confronted by a crook trying to rob her house at night, she wasn’t about to let herself get pushed around.
所以在晚上面对入室抢劫的劫匪时，她才不会任人摆布。

“I’m alone, I’m old, but guess what, I’m tough,” she said.
她说：“我独居，年纪又大，但你猜怎么着，我很强。”

The house was dark, so she could easily hide as the crook moved into her home, she told WHAM 13 News. She had already called police, but wasn’t about to sit by and let this criminal take advantage of her.
她对《WHAM 13 News》说，当时屋里很黑，所以劫匪进入房子时她轻易地就藏起来了。她已经报警了，但也没准备坐以待毙。

“I picked up the table and I went to work on him,” she said, adding that she broke the table in the attack.
她说：“我举起桌子就开始揍他，”她还说桌子都砸坏了。

And while he was down, Murphy added, she jumped on him.
Murphy继续说把对方打趴下以后，她跳到了他的身上。

With the crook injured, she then grabbed a bottle of shampoo and poured it all over his face. Then, Murphy said, she grabbed a broom and continued to hit him.
劫匪受伤以后，她又抓起一瓶洗发水洒了对方一脸，然后抓起扫帚继续打。

“He’s pulling the broom,” she told the news outlet. “I’m hitting him with the broom.”
她对这家新闻机构说：“他拽着扫帚，我用扫帚打他。”

When officers and first responders arrived, they took the suspect to the hospital.
警察和急救人员到达以后，他们把嫌疑人送到了医院。

“The officers that came wanted to go on my front porch and take selfies with me,” Murphy said.
Murphy说：“到场的警察来到我家前门廊，想跟我合照。”

After the incident, the 82-year-old decided the man - who police say was intoxicated - had had enough and chose not to press charges.
这件事过去以后，警察说那个人喝多了，这位82岁的老人认为他已经受到了惩罚，不会起诉他。

“I really did a number on that man,” she said.
她说：“他真被我打得够呛。”
