　　Tech fans the world over are poised for the big reveal of the new iPhone 6 on September 9.

　　全世界的技术控们都翘首期待着9月9日iPhone 6的闪亮登场。

　　But some people are turning the event into a business opportunity - by being paid to wait in line outside New York's flagship Apple Store weeks ahead of the launch.

　　然而有人把iPhone6首发变成了商机——替人在新机发布前几周在纽约苹果旗舰店外排队。

　　Jason and Moon Ray, a married couple from Austin, Texas arrived in New York to stand in front of Apple’s store and are being sponsored by a new app company called Video Medicine.

　　发掘这一商机的是一对来自德克萨斯州奥斯丁的夫妇：詹森·雷和穆恩·雷。他们得到了一家新的app开发公司Video Medicine的赞助来到纽约苹果店前招揽生意。

　　Wearing sponsored T-shirts, these professional queuers have waited for as long as three weeks to get their hands on Apple's newest phone - which won't actually be released to the public until September 9.

　　虽然iPhone6要到9月9号才发布，但果粉们三周前就穿着赞助商的T恤前来排队了。

　　Working with companies for sponsorship, the Apple fans can have their iPhones paid for as long as they agree to wear the branding of the company they are dealing with.

　　由赞助商支持，果粉们只要同意穿着印有该公司品牌的服装在苹果店前排队，就可以免费获得最新的iPhone6。

　　The Rays have come prepared, travelling with a tent, solar panel to charge their phones and sleeping bags

　　雷夫妇准备十分充分：帐篷、太阳能手机充电板、睡袋等都一应俱全。

　　They are also making use of the local YMCA to shower and use the bathroom.

　　他们还在当地基督教青年汇(Young Men's Christian Association)洗澡、如厕。

　　Cruz says: 'I'm a veteran at this. I have done this every year for the past five years now. The first time I did it for two weeks was last year.'

　　参与者克鲁兹说道：“我参加这样的活动好几次了。过去的五年中，我每年都会做同样的事情。而去年是我第一次排队长达两周的时间。”

　　He adds: 'Me and my cousin do it for the experience and we know that we'll get sponsored by companies.

　　他补充说：“我和侄子这么做就是为了体验这一经历，同时我们心里很清楚一定会有赞助商找到我们的。”

　　'They're basically buying us the new iPhone, paying for our food and we're advertising their company.'

　　“他们会给我们买最新的苹果手机，并为我们的食物买单。而反过来呢，我们为他们的公司做广告。”

　　Grinning, he tells the camera: 'Now I got $1,250 in my pocket, free iPhone and free food. What more could you ask for?'
