Prepare for a major eye-roll: Three imaginative young men in New York have dreamed up — and created — an industrial-strength selfie stick, big enough to support an entire laptop.
準備好翻白眼吧：三個想像力頗豐的年輕人在紐約異想天開，並且創製了一根強勁的自拍杆，槓子夠長夠大，足以支撐起一臺蘋果筆記本電腦。
The Macbook Selfie Stick functions just like a smartphone selfie stick — except that it can fit a full-size Macbook computer in its grips.
蘋果筆記本電腦自拍杆和智慧型手機自拍杆功能一樣，只不過其把手握柄可以完全撐起一臺電腦。
Created by artists Moises or Art404, John Yuyi, and Tom Galle, the Macbook Selfie Stick is, at this stage, still just an art project.
這一由藝術家莫希斯(也稱「藝術404」)、約翰·餘藝還有湯姆·蓋伊所創製的蘋果筆記本自拍杆，現階段還只是一個藝術項目。
But while the trio may be trying to make some sort of statement about society — that our culture is too selfie-obsessed, self-obsessed, or tech-obsessed — it's quite possible that their plan will backfire.
儘管或許三人正試圖從某種層面彰顯社會，我們的文化執迷於自拍、痴迷於自我、熱衷於科技，但很有可能他們的計劃會適得其反。
In a series of images posted online, the group and a few volunteers pose for pictures, their laptops held out on a pole several feet in front of them, in places like Times Square and Washington Square Park.
網上貼出的一系列圖片裡，這組人和其他志願者在時代廣場、華盛頓廣場公園等地方擺好造型拍照，電腦裝在杆子上，撐開幾英尺遠。
In several of the snaps, crowds of tourists can be seen nearby, and many seem unfazed by the spectacle. A few, though, look on with bemused expressions.
可以看見，不少照片上附近有成群的遊客，但很多人似乎對這一景象無動於衷。還有些遊人在旁看著，一臉茫然。
Most people are probably quick to write off such a ridiculous idea — after all, carrying around a laptop and hoisting it up for a picture is certainly cumbersome, with or without a selfie stick. However, not everyone is so put off.
多數人很快就打消了這麼個荒謬的注意，畢竟，帶著個手提電腦，高高舉起拍照確實夠笨重的。
