致命魔术 | 魔术的真相

首发于公众号：Ida的美剧电影英语笔记

这仍是一部很诺兰的电影，镜头切换得让人头晕，时间线和故事线不断交叉。影片用下面的这段话开头，又用其结尾。导演似乎也在用这种魔术的手法与观众互动。

Every magic trick consists of three parts, or acts.

每一场魔术表演都有三个步骤

The first part is called "the pledge."

第一个步骤是“以虚代实”

The magician shows you something ordinary.

魔术师先秀出一个真实的东西

The second act is called "the turn."

第二个步骤是“偷天换日”

The magician takes the ordinary something

魔术师利用这个普通的东西

and makes it into something extraordinary.

做出令人叹为观止的表演

But you wouldn't clap yet

但是你还不会鼓掌

because making something disappear isn't enough.

因为把东西变不见还不够

You have to bring it back.

你必须把它变回来

Now you're looking for the secret.

现在你想找出秘诀

But you won't find it, because, of course, you're not really looking.

但是绝对找不到  因为你没有真正在看

You don't really want to work it out.

你并不是真的想知道

You want to be fooled.

你想要被骗
