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(zhǔn)備好翻白眼吧：三個(gè)想象力頗豐的年輕人在紐約異想天開，并且創(chuàng)制了一根強(qiáng)勁的自拍桿，杠子夠長夠大，足以支撐起一臺(tái)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桿和智能手機(jī)自拍桿功能一樣，只不過其把手握柄可以完全撐起一臺(tái)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(shù)家莫希斯（也稱“藝術(shù)404”）、約翰·余藝還有湯姆·蓋伊所創(chuàng)制的蘋果筆記本自拍桿，現(xiàn)階段還只是一個(gè)藝術(shù)項(xiàng)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.
盡管或許三人正試圖從某種層面彰顯社會(huì)，我們的文化執(zhí)迷于自拍、癡迷于自我、熱衷于科技，但很有可能他們的計(jì)劃會(huì)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(wǎng)上貼出的一系列圖片里，這組人和其他志愿者在時(shí)代廣場、華盛頓廣場公園等地方擺好造型拍照，電腦裝在桿子上，撐開幾英尺遠(yuǎn)。

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游客，但很多人似乎對(duì)這一景象無動(dòng)于衷。還有些游人在旁看著，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(shù)人很快就打消了這么個(gè)荒謬的注意，畢竟，帶著個(gè)手提電腦，高高舉起拍照確實(shí)夠笨重的。
