unless you think of it in the terms that I do,

有相同看法，即「若某個人對某造假之事

have a measurable effect in certain kinds of studies,

在某些研究裡會產生可度量的效應

that what's happening to them is a pharmaceutical

if they believe it enough there is a measurable effect in the body

In order for us to understand each other,

I want to start by showing you a rudimentary,

And I'm going to show you how it works. This is a trick

that's been in every children's magic book since at least the 1950s.

I learned it myself from Cub Scout Magic in the 1970s.

這個把戲最晚在1950年代就已出現在每一本小朋友的魔術書裡

I'll do it for you, and then I'll explain it.

我是在1970年代從《幼童軍魔術》書裡自學的

And then I'll explain why I explained it.

The knife, which you can examine; my hand, which you could examine.

I'm just going to hold the knife in my fist like this.

And to make sure nothing goes up or down my sleeve

I'm just going to squeeze my wrist right here.

進出我的袖子，我還握住手腕這裡

can anything travel, as long as I'm squeezing there

my pure animal magnetism will hold the knife.

no trickery. And you can examine everything.

So, this is a trick that I often teach to young children

that are interested in magic, because you can learn

我常拿這個把戲教導對魔術有興趣的孩子們

this very -- even though it's a very simple trick methodologically.

Probably many of you in the room know this trick.

可以學到不少有關「欺騙」的技巧

to make sure nothing goes up or down my sleeve,

In a moment when my hand moves from facing you

this finger right here, my index finger is just going to shift

Someone who didn't have a childhood is out there.

And we could talk about why this is deceptive,

why you don't notice there are only three fingers down here,

現在來談談為什麼這能用來騙人

because the mind, and the way it processes information,

為什麼大家沒注意到這下面只有三根指頭

it doesn't count, one, two, three. It groups them.

But that's not really what this is about. Right? And then I open my hand up.

並非「1, 2, 3」這樣細數，而是攏在一起看的

Obviously it's clinging there, not by animal magnetism,

但真正的重點並不在此，對吧？

然後我打開拳頭，刀子顯然被按在手心，不是被生物磁吸住

And then when I close my finger, same thing,

kind of covers the moving back of my finger.

I take this hand away. You give the knife out.

There is a trick you can do for your friends and neighbors. Thanks.

這個把戲你可以表演給你的朋友或鄰居看。謝謝。

what does that have to do with the placebo effect?

I'm not a doctor or a researcher, so this, to me,

it's just a round white pill -- it has some certain measurable effect.

But if you change the form that you give the placebo in,

不過一顆白色的丸子就能產生某種可度量的效應

and color it blue, and stamp a letter into it,

it is actually measurably more effective.

其可度量的效應就會變得更明顯

has any pharmaceutical -- they're sugar pills.
