So secret societies have been a target of interest

一直以來 秘密社團都是一個

by a lot of people throughout history,

讓很多人感興趣的話題

Mainly because of the mysticism

人們被它們的神秘性

and secrecy surrounding them.

和保密性所吸引

A lot of us look at these societies as sinister,

在很多人的眼裡 這些社團讓人難以揣測

not just because we don't know what happens

behind their closed doors,

在那扇關閉的門後發生了什麼

but because we question their agendas,

而且我們對它們的議程也滿腹質疑

which vary from political to religious.

從政治到宗教 它們的議程呈現出不同的內容

But they all have one thing in common,

they exist to further the secret agenda
