精彩對白

************這篇影評可能有雷************

Alfred Borden: We were two young men at the start of a great career. Two young men devoted to an illusion. Two young men who never intended to hurt anyone.
阿爾弗雷德·波登：我們兩都是年輕人，要將自己獻身於偉大事業的開創，我們是天生的魔術師，但我們不會用自己的天賦去傷害任何人。

You never understood why we did this. 你不懂我們為什麼要變魔術。
The audience knows the truth. 觀眾知道真相。
The wold is simple.It's miserable. 現實既殘酷又悲慘。
Solid all the way through. 沒有奇蹟，沒有魔法。
But if you could fool them,even for a second，then you could make them wonder.
但是如果你能騙倒他們，即使只有一秒鐘，就能讓他們驚嘆。
Then you got to see something very special. 然後你就能看到非常特別的事。

Cutter: Every great magic trick consists of three acts. The first act is called The Pledge: the magician shows you something ordinary, but of course, it probably isn't. The second act is called The Turn. The magician makes his ordinary something do something extraordinary. Now, if you're looking for the secret…you won't find it. That's why there's a third act, called The Prestige. This is the part with the twists and turns, where lives hang in the balance, and you see something shocking you've never seen before.
卡特：每一項偉大魔術的完成，都與三個過程密不可分：一為「驗證」，魔術師展示了看似平常、實則已經動過手腳的表演道具；二為「轉移」，魔術師手中看似普通的事物，瞬間變得與眾不同，這個時候，如果你想找魔術背後的秘密……那幾乎是不可能的，這也是為什麼還會有第三步；三為「蒙蔽」，這也是魔術中最關鍵的環節，是魔術師利用技巧進行掩飾的過程，一旦達成某種平衡，就會產生那種前所未見、讓你無比震驚的現象--也就是魔術。


Now you're looking for the secret. 現在你想找出秘訣。
But you won't find it because, of course, you're not really looking.
但是絕對找不到 因為你沒真正在看。
