Good morning everyone. My name is Gabe. I'm a traveling car salesman. So today, I'm here to sell you the keys to this car, this beautiful vintage PT Cruiser. I mean, look at that faux wood side paneling. I'm told it's got turbo. Look. It's a work of art. Trust me.大家早上好。我叫 Gabe。我是一名四处奔波的汽车推销员。今天，我来是要把这辆车的钥匙卖给你们——这辆漂亮的复古 PT Cruiser。看看这仿木纹的侧板，多特别。我听说它还有涡轮增压。看看吧，这就是一件艺术品。相信我。

Now, when I say that I'm selling the keys to this car, I really mean it. I have 5,000 of these keys, and every single last one of them works to that car. You click the key fob once, it unlocks the door, you click it twice, it starts the engine. If you buy any one of these 5,000 keys from me, naturally you get access to the car, but so do 4,999 other people. Whatever happens beyond that is not necessarily my problem. Like I said, I'm just a car salesman.当我说我要卖这辆车的钥匙时，我是认真的。我有 5,000 把这样的钥匙，而且每一把都能打开这辆车。按一次遥控器，它就解锁车门；按两次，它就启动引擎。如果你从我这里买走这 5,000 把钥匙中的任意一把，你当然能开这辆车，但另外 4,999 个人也能开。至于之后会发生什么，那不一定是我的问题。就像我说的，我只是个卖车的。

So you're probably wondering at this point, is this real? Is this guy just making this stuff up? Well, it is real. My name is Gabe, and I'm actually the founder of an art collective based in New York City, called Mschf. These are our logos.你们现在大概会想，这是真的吗？这家伙是不是在胡编乱造？其实，这是真的。我叫 Gabe，我实际上是一个艺术团体的创始人，这个团体位于纽约市，名字叫 Mschf。这些是我们的标志。

Mischief is a bit of a difficult beast to explain, and I'm not going to even try to describe it. Let me give you a couple examples to help paint that picture or confuse you even further.Mschf（恶作剧）是个很难解释的东西，我甚至不打算尝试去定义它。让我给你几个例子，可能能帮你了解一点，或者让你更加困惑。

Handbags. Handbags are really expensive, and incredibly, the smaller they get, the more expensive they become. So a few summers ago, we actually endeavored to make the world's smallest handbag, microscopic, in fact, and somehow it ended up selling at auction for 63,000 dollars, incidentally making it the world's most expensive handbag per volume.手袋。手袋非常昂贵，而且不可思议的是，它们越小，反而越贵。于是几年前的一个夏天，我们真的去尝试制作了世界上最小的手袋——实际上是显微镜下才能看到的大小。结果它竟然在拍卖会上以 63,000 美元成交，顺便也让它成了单位体积价格最贵的手袋。

Here's another one. This is nothing like a handbag. You’ve probably seen those Boston Dynamics Spot dog robots that do TikTok dances with K-pop stars on YouTube. Well, we managed to get one. Instead of making it dance, we strapped a paintball gun to it and we connected it remotely to a website where people could take turns driving it and firing it at an art gallery that we constructed. Boston Dynamics did not like that one very much.再举一个例子。这和手袋完全不同。你们大概见过波士顿动力公司的 Spot 机器人狗吧？在 YouTube 上它们常常和韩流明星一起跳 TikTok 舞。我们设法搞到了一只。但我们没让它跳舞，而是给它绑上一把彩弹枪，然后把它远程连接到一个网站上，让人们轮流操控它，开着它朝我们搭建的艺术画廊射击。波士顿动力公司对这件事可不太高兴。
