vanity project

But this is a serious concern, isn't it, not a sideline vanity project?

但是，这是一个严重的问题，是不是，不是虚荣副业项目？

The New York Post dubbed it "a pop drivel vanity project that has no relation to anything the legendary producer has ever helped craft" and said that Phil's music is now as criminal as he is.

《纽约邮报》称它是“流行音乐中的垃圾，纯属形象工程，我们难以从中看出这位传奇音乐人的制作水平有任何提高。”

Whenever I hear that a friend has begun the trying process of trying, or is considering attempting what I like to call The Ultimate Vanity Project, I often follow up by asking them, "Why?"

无论何时我听见我的朋友开始艰难的尝试或打算尝试被我称之为“无由计划”的行为（作者在此的意思就是这些行为动机不明确）时，我常常会问他们，“你为什么要这么做呢？”
