Cambodia is well known for its taxis and Tuks Tuks, but it’s a small motodop that Um Chanthon drives. She’s one of the few females in the world of mototaxis, an industry traditionally dominated by male drivers.
柬埔寨的计程车和三轮载客机车众所周知，然而翁湘颂骑的却是一辆小载客摩托车。在摩托计程车这个传统上以男性司机掌控的行业中，她则是极少数的女性之一。

Um became a motodop driver nine years ago, after her marriage ended in divorce.
她在9年前离婚后，成为一名载客摩托车司机。

She started working to support her family, including her mother, her two sons and a nephew.
她开始工作来养家活口，包括她的母亲以及两个儿子和一名外甥。

[Um Chanthon, Motodop Driver]:
"Each morning I get up early to clean my motorbike and prepare the gears for my daily work.”
翁湘颂这位载客摩托车司机说道：
“我每天一大早就起床把我的机车清理干净，并且准备每日工作所需要的装备。”

And it doesn’t faze Chanthon in the least that she’s one of the only women doing it. Her male colleagues even praise her for it.
同时，湘颂一点也不担心她是这个行业当中仅有极少数女性之一，她的男同事还为此称赞她。

[Chan Ti, Motodop Driver]:
"She is more courageous than us that she can do our work. I praise her heart that she can do this work to support her family after being separated from her husband."
香提，载客摩托车司机：
“她能够和我们做一样的工作，真是比我们还勇敢。她在和丈夫离婚后，肯做这项工作来扶养家人，这份心意值得称许。”

Chanthon gets more female customers than her male counterparts, as they trust her driving skills and want to help her.
比起她的男同事们，湘颂赢得更多的女性顾客，因为她们信任她的骑车技术，并且想要帮助她。

[Von Sreyneang, Customer]:
"She is stronger than me because she can take more than one person, while I cannot even drive just myself properly.”
范水宁，顾客：
“她比我还要厉害，因为她可以载不只一人，而我却连自己一个人都没法子好好的骑。”

She gets about six customers a day, which allows her to earn an average of ten U.S. dollars per day.
她一天当中约莫有6名顾客上门，这让她平均每天可赚进10美元。
