These days, it seems that an alarm clock can't just make a noise at a given time in order to wake us up: We sleep too deeply, and in too-comfortable beds to just pop right up and into our slacks when we hear a set of chimes.
如今的社會，對于鬧鐘的作用來說，只是在某個特定時間點(diǎn)制造噪音就能讓我們醒過來，好像不太可能了：我們睡得很沉，床又太舒服，根本不可能一聽到鬧鈴聲就從床上蹦起來穿衣服。

A new app for Android called "Sleep If U Can" addresses this modern conundrum in a creative way: It's an alarm clock that will not stop ringing until you are physically out of bed, at a location in your home, taking a photo of a given item.
一款名叫“睡得下去你就繼續(xù)睡”的安卓應(yīng)用以創(chuàng)意的方式解決了這個現(xiàn)代難題：這是一款鬧鐘，它只有在你從床上爬起來，在家中特定的位置給特定的物品拍張照片后，才會不響了。

Here's how it works: When you first download the app, Sleep If U Can asks you to photograph a bunch of different locations or items in your home (locations or items, it is important to note, that are not so close to your bed that you can just roll over, snap a pic, and then collapse back onto your drool pillow).
這款鬧鐘的工作原理是這樣的：你下載好應(yīng)用，Sleep If U Can會要求你給家中各處的物品拍一堆照片。（這里要說明的是，最好是那些離床比較遠(yuǎn)的位置或物品，不至于你翻身就能看到，拍完照片還能滾回床上抱著枕頭繼續(xù)睡。）

Then, each time your alarm goes off afterwards, Sleep If U Can shows you a different photograph: Your alarm will keep sounding until you maneuver your sleepy carcass to that spot and take an identical picture with your smartphone's camera.
然后，每次鬧鐘響起的時候，Sleep If U Can就會給你展示不同的照片，只有你拖著昏昏欲睡的步伐，走到相同的位置用手機(jī)攝像頭拍攝一張一模一樣的照片才行，否則會鬧鐘一直響下去。

Once the app detects a photographic match, the shrill alarm will cease, at which point you should be awake.
一旦應(yīng)用判斷出照片相符，尖銳刺耳的鬧鈴就會停下來，不過這會兒你應(yīng)該也已經(jīng)醒了。
