新概念雙語：超震撼：手機(jī)才是我們生活的攝魂怪

Our phones， it seems， are an extension of ourselves. More than half of American smartphone owners check their device a few times an hour， according to a 2015 Gallup poll， and 81 percent say they keep their phones nearby during waking hours almost all of the time. For some， a smartphone might as well be an extra limb.

現(xiàn)在好像手機(jī)是我們自己的延伸。2015年蓋洛普民意測驗(yàn)調(diào)查顯示，美國擁有手機(jī)的人當(dāng)中，超過一半的人一個(gè)小時(shí)內(nèi)要看好幾次手機(jī)，而且81%的受訪者稱他們只要醒著幾乎會一直把手機(jī)放在身邊。對于一些人來說，智能手機(jī)就好比身體的一部分。

That‘s what artist Antoine Geiger depicts in his photo series “Sur-Fake，” highlighting our attachment to the the ubiquitous devices by depicting people’s faces stretched and connected to the smartphones they hold in their hands.

這就是藝術(shù)家安東尼·蓋革在其“攝魂怪”照片集中刻畫的內(nèi)容，通過對人們的臉向外延伸與手中拿著的智能手機(jī)連在一起的這一刻畫，突出我們對這無所不在設(shè)備的依戀。

The images remove human faces and replace our most distinct and recognizable features with a piece of plastic and glass. With this effect， Geiger shows that our smartphones -- or what lives inside them -- have become more of our identity than our physical selves. The photos are startling： If we‘re constantly attached to a screen， are we under its control?

這些照片將人們的臉進(jìn)行空間移動，用一塊塑料和玻璃代替我們最直觀最易識別的面部特征。蓋革用這種效果向人們展示我們的手機(jī)——或者寄生在手機(jī)里的東西——已經(jīng)成為了我們的身份特征而不僅僅是我們的外在物體。這些照片令人震驚：如果我們頻繁地盯著手機(jī)看，它已經(jīng)控制我們了嗎?
