魔術的祕密該揭穿麼？Should the Secrets Behind Magic be Disclosed?
With a fascination with magic forcenturies, there is a heated debate about the disclosure of magic people thirst for the revelation of the magic secrets so that they mayobtain some of the know-how and perform some magic on their own. They believethat the trend of revealing magic secrets is irresistible. But I don’t see eyeto eye with them and I insist that the secrets behind the magic should not bedisclosed.
魔術的魅力久經不衰，但是最近有一個關於是否要揭露魔術祕密的熱烈爭論。有些人渴望揭露魔術的祕密，這樣他們就能知道怎麼表演，然後自己表演魔術了。他們相信揭露魔術祕密的趨勢是不可抗拒的。但是我的看法和他們不一樣，我堅信魔術的祕密不該揭露出來。
I have two reasons to supportmy view. In the first place, the audience is fascinated with the magic becausethey like the feeling of being kept in suspense. If the secrets behind themagic are known to them, they would fell that the magic is nothing but a pettytrick and the magicians are ridiculous clowns rather than demigods. In thesecond place, magic requiring laborious hours and considerable money are whatthe magicians live on, so revealing the magic secrets will result in a detriment to the interest of the magicians. The magicians couldnot perform the magic that happen to be known to the audience and therefore,they have less chance to earn money.
我有兩個理由來支持我的觀點。第一，觀衆之所以感受到魔術的魅力是因爲他們喜歡保持懸疑的感覺。如果魔術背後的祕密被揭穿，他們就會覺得魔術只是一些小伎倆，魔術師只是個可笑的小丑，而不是大神。第二，魔術需要魔術師長久的練習和大量的資金投入，所以如果揭露魔術的祕密就會導致魔術師利益的損失。魔術師不能表演那些觀衆已經知道祕密的魔術，因此，他們就沒什麼機會賺錢了。
To sum up, the secrets behind magic shouldnot be revealed with both of the audience and the magicians taken into account.
總而言之，魔術背後的祕密不應該被揭露出來，無論是觀衆還是魔術師本人。
