轉承詞

Because of Mythbusters' widespread love and popularity, a lot of people probably think

因為《流言終結者》節目廣受歡迎的緣故

情態副詞

they know all the secrets behind this explosively entertaining show.

很多人可能以為自己全然知道節目背後的所有秘密。

但是，這節目還是有你不知道的秘密。

Here's a couple fascinating facts about everyone's fave mad scientists.

以下是一些大家最愛的瘋狂科學家，意想不到的事。

Before appearing in MythBusters, Kari Byron was a student of film and culture at San Francisco

在加入《流言終結者》之前，Kari Byron 在加州州立大學主修電影與文化

State University, and she ultimately wanted to join the special effects industry.

That interest eventually led her to M5, the F/X company founded by fellow Mythbuster Jamie

這個興趣最終帶她到了 M5，一家由《流言終結者》成員 Jamie Hyneman

She was actually an unpaid intern for a while, and that opportunity eventually blossomed

其實，她一開始當了一陣子的的無薪實習生

最後才得到加入《流言終結者》的工作機會。

They work hard, they're trying to prove themselves, and they are cheap or free."

他們很認真、每個都想證明自己，而且實習生薪水很低，或根本就是免費勞工。」

If anything, she learned to marry the more explosive elements of the show into her own

舉例來說，她學習將更多爆炸素材融入到自己的

One very clear example of this is her explosive paintings.

其中一個最明朗的例子就是她的爆炸風格畫作了。

To create these works, she lights gunpowder on fire and then scrapes burnt clay away from

創作時，她點燃火藥，接著把燃燒後的黏土某開

the page to make a series of haunting images.

She likens the process to quote "controlled chaos."

她將這過程比喻為「控制中的混亂。」

"Have you ever really looked at the sky?"

「你曾這樣認真看過天空嗎？」

With so many experiments over the years, you have to wonder if there are any myths the

這麼多年來，做了這麼多的實驗，你可曾想過團隊中是否有後悔

Adam Savage apparently wishes he'd ixnayed one segment.

Adam Savage 顯然很希望當初自己沒有做個這個實驗。

Not because the experiment was particularly dangerous or difficult to film, but because

不只是這項實驗特別危險或是難以拍攝。而且也因為

至少，在 Savage 眼中是這樣啦！

The experiment itself involved determining whether or not keeping a shaving razor beneath

實驗將刮鬍刀刀片放到自製金字塔中，實驗刀片

a makeshift pyramid would actually keep it sharper, due to so-called "pyramid power."

是否會因為「金字塔魔力」而變更鋒利。

Savage regrets filming the segment, because he believes it was ultimately impossible to

Savage 非常後悔拍過這個實驗，因為他認為將科學方法

apply the scientific method to that particular experiment.

帶入這個實驗根本就是不可能的事。

He believes they were tasked with quote "trying to prove a negative," since there was real

他認為《流言終結者》就是在「證明事實與否」

但這實驗並沒有確切方法可以測量成敗。

Mythbusters was all about science, which means it never let something like corporate sponsorship

《流言終結者》是科學性節目，這代表節目絕對不會

Alas, it sounds like even Mythbusters wasn't immune to advertiser pressure: They reportedly

然而，似乎連《流言終結者》都沒辦法逃過廣告商的誘惑。據說，他們

decided to ax an entire episode about RFID, that handy technology that lets you wave your

決定推出一集以無線射頻辨識技術 (RFID) ─ 信用卡不必透過刷卡機

credit card in front of a card reader so you don't have to swipe it.

用刷卡機就能讀取資料的便利科技 ─ 為主題的節目。

You've no doubt heard that RFID isn't necessarily secure.

你也絕對聽過無線射頻辨識技術其實不盡然那麼安全。

Well, Mythbusters got wind of that, too, and planned an entire episode about the hackability

而《流言終結者》也受到廣告壓力影響，決定計畫整集討論

But according to the Register, lawyers for major credit card companies intervened, and

但根據 Register，由於律師與知名信用卡公司的介入

In 2008, Adam Savage opened up about the situation at a Hackers on Planet Earth conference.

2008 年，Adam Savage 在 Hackers on Planet Earth 會議中提到這件事。

"They absolutely made it really clear to Discovery that they were not going to air this episode

「他們向 Discovery 說得非常明白，就是他們絕對不會推出一集介紹

talking about how hackable this stuff was."

該信用卡的安全性有多高的節目。 」

He claimed Discovery quote "backed down" because they relied so heavily upon advertising revenue.

Savege 聲稱 Discovery 「妥協了」，因為頻道非常仰賴廣告收入。

That sounds like the honest truth, but something must have happened behind the scenes: Savage

這聽來像是實話，但其中一定有什麼內幕：

later backtracked and changed his tune, saying:

"The decision… was made by our production company … and had nothing to do with Discovery…

「這是... 我們製作公司的決定... 跟 Discovery

Mythbusters was billed as a "family show," so there were certain things the program simply

《流言終結者》是「闔家觀賞」節目，所以

For example, they couldn't even show a simulation of a particular body part while testing the

例如，當進行傳奇實驗「尿在鐵路上」時，團隊甚至不能

legendary "Peeing on the Third Rail Myth," even though they were clearly using a synthetic

把人體某個部分做出來，只用了一根

Oh, and in case you're wondering how that experiment worked out:

哦，以防你好奇這個實驗的結果：

Anyway… according to TV Tropes, censors forbade Mythbusters from airing an entire

然而，根據 TV Tropes，審查制度禁止《流言終結者》

Undeterred, the team tried a segment on farting later on, but this time they followed all

團隊並沒有因此受到影響，稍後也做了關於放屁的實驗，但受到各種

sorts of oddball rules, like only using the word "flatus" instead of "fart," supposedly

奇怪的限制。像是用「胃腸氣」代替「臭屁」

to make the whole thing sound more scientific.

To work around all the bodily functions they couldn't show on screen, the Mythbusters team

因為某些人體器官不能出現在畫面中，所以《流言終結者》團隊做了

"I am planning to build a machine that can also eject a flatus.

「我要做一模擬放胃腸氣的機器。

The result was really funny and actually rather vulgar... even though they were basically

實驗結果非常逗趣，而且還略微粗俗... 儘管他們

You can gloss over that fact as much as you like, but pretty much every cast member was

你可以掩飾多事實，但《流言終結者》的主持人都是

And if you watched the show, you were pretty geeky, too.

如果你喜歡看這個節目，那你也滿科學宅的。

"But I was going to Toshi's station to pick up some power converters!"

「但我還要去托西站 (Tosche Station) 弄些電力轉換器呢！」

As you can imagine, it's not particularly easy to work something like Star Wars into

如同你想像一般，像是《星際大戰》這類型作品不太容易和

After all, Star Wars is a closely guarded property, and there are hoops to be jumped

畢竟，《星際大戰》非常注重版權，在實驗

through before you can start busting lightsaber and stormtrooper myths.

光劍或是風暴兵流言之前，有很多困難需要克服。

Adam Savage told The Hollywood Reporter he was surprised how open Lucasfilm turned out

Adam Savage 告訴 The Hollywood Reporter，他很驚訝 Lucasflim

The team wasn't allowed to animate lightsaber effects, but other than that, they were pretty

除了不能做光劍特效外，其他部分倒是

There was one important provision: Savage joked that MythBusters couldn't depict stormtroopers

其中有個重要的規定：Savage 開玩笑說，《流言終結者》不能重現

"I don't think they wanted us to twerk with a Stormtrooper or something like that."

「我覺得 Lucasflim 應該不會想讓我們跟風暴衛兵一起跳電臀舞，或之類的事。」

The LucasFilm people probably didn't want another Christmas special on their hands.

LucusFlim 大概不希望《流言終結者》做出另一部聖誕節特別節目。

"Please, please, I have enough aggravation."

「拜託哦、拜託，我已經受夠了。」

The Mythbusters had some very public mishaps, but people might not entirely realize just

《流言終結者》節目發生過一些意外事故，但大家應該不曉得

how common it was for the cast to injure themselves in the line of duty.

主持人在拍攝時受傷的情況有多常見。

According to CNet, Mythbuster accidents ran the gamut from explosions to an injury by goat.

據 CNet，《流言終結者》的意外事故從爆炸這種大事，到被山羊撞傷這種小事
