AZUZ: Altogether, Cape Verde is about the size of the U.S. state of Rhode Island. More than half a million people live in Cape Verde. An estimated 30 percent of them below the poverty line. So, when a construction worker in the town of Santa Maria saw large pieces of garbage on the beach, he transformed it into something everyone can use to get fit.

總體而言，佛得角的面積相當于美國羅德島州的面積。人口超過50萬。約有30%的人生活在貧困線以下。所以，當圣瑪利亞鎮(zhèn)的一名建筑工人看到海灘上的大塊垃圾時，他把它變成了每個人都可以用來健身的東西。
