趣圖妙語:視覺把戲 開動你的腦筋
Strange Terrace
奇怪的天台
tips：這到底是上還是下？
Spiral???
Looks like a spiral, right?
螺旋？？？
看上去像是個螺旋，是不是？
Wrong... It's a bunch of independent circles.
那你就看走眼了，這只是一堆圓。
Short Circuit Your Brain
Look at the chart above and say the COLOR of the word, not the word itself.
大腦短路
試着念出這些單詞的顏色而不是讀這些單詞。
Why is it so difficult?
Because the right half of your brain is trying to say the color, while the left side of your brain is trying to say the word.
爲什麼我們的大腦會瞬間短路呢？
這是因爲，我們的右腦正在努力說出顏色，但左腦卻在不自覺地念單詞。
Rotating Snake Illusion
Believe it or not, there is nothing moving on this page.
羣蛇亂舞
不管你相不相信，這絕對是一張靜止的圖片。
Primrose's field
It already looks quite 'wavy', but try slowly moving the mouse cursor up and down the center of the image — and focus on the cursor. You should see the picture 'waving' in an incredible way.
櫻草地
如果這塊圖案看上去是有浪的，那麼將鼠標在圖像上上下移動，眼睛盯着鼠標，你會驚奇地發現，浪更大了。
Optical Trick — Square
Is the blue side on the inner left back or the outer left front?
視覺錯覺——正方體
藍色的這面到底是在左邊的外側還是在後面的內側？
Optical Trick — Block
Think you could build that?
視覺誤差——模塊
你能建出這麼一個東西嗎？
Moving Circle
Look at this illusion for a while and it will appear to be shimmering and moving.
Also: Follow the outermost groove and watch it change from a groove to a hump as you go around the wheel.
移動圓環
盯着這個圖像看一會兒，你會發現這個圓環正在發光轉動。盯着外圈的凹槽看一會兒，你會發現它逐漸變成突起的了。
What is it? What do you see?
這是什麼？你看到了什麼？
Yes, there's a face... and the word liar.
是的，這是一張臉……和一個單詞liar。
Impossible Triangle
Can you build this?
不可能事件
你能做出這麼個三角麼？
How many colors?
Apart from the green and white background, how many colors can you see?
有幾種顏色？
除了綠色和白色的背景，你還能看到幾種顏色？
It may look as if the two arms of the 'X' use different shades of pink,
but in fact the whole X only uses a single color.
How can this be true?
看上去組成“X”的兩條線段是由不同深淺的兩種粉色組成，但事實上，整個“X”只用了一種顏色。這怎麼可能？
From where comes this hole?
Below the four parts are moved around. The partitions are exactly the same, as those used above.
哪來的這個洞？
下面的四部分只是互換了位置，總的面積不變，那是怎麼出來的這個洞？
Find the face among the beans!
找出豆子中隱藏的那張人臉！
Tips：呵呵，看看下方偏左。
How many faces can you find?
你能找到多少張人臉？
Enigma
Stare at the center of the figure for a while. Some scintillating activity will build up in the violet and blue annuli. Some observers also report a circular rotation within these regions; things will begin to turn around in circles?
不可思議的光圈
盯着中心的圓看一會兒，你會覺得紫色和藍色的圈在變大，還有的人可能覺得這些圓在旋轉。
Counting Cubes
How many cubes do you see in this optical illusion?
數數
數數有幾個立方？
The answer is six or seven.
答案是六或七個。
City Block
If you look around in the neighboring figure you will notice the appearance and disappearance of black dots at the crossings.
如果你看一圈這個表格就會發現，有黑色的圓不斷出現和消失。
Which is larger?
Is the left center circle bigger?
哪個更大？
左邊那個中間的圓更大？
No, they're both the same size.
不是的，其實兩個中心的圓是一樣大的。
A party trick when the wine is flowing.
HOW TO DO THE TRICK
Explain that just as a glass prism splits up the different colors of white light, when different colored light passes through glass, it is also affected to an extent that depends on its color.
Write the words CARBON DIOXIDE on a piece of paper, CARBON in red and DIOXIDE in blue. Put the paper close behind the stem of a wine glass, and look at the words through the stem. The red letters turn upside down, but the blue ones don't.
So is the glass affecting the red light more than the blue?
聚會上的小把戲
說明：首先要解釋一番，就如白光通過三棱鏡會分離出不同顏色一樣，帶顏色的光透過玻璃也會這樣。接着在一張白紙上寫上“CARBON DIOXIDE”“CARBON”用紅色寫，“DIOXIDE”用藍色寫。透過高腳杯的杯子幹看這兩個單詞，會發現“CARBON”倒過來了，而“DIOXIDE”卻沒有，所以，紅色的光更容易受到玻璃的影響，對嗎？
A good trick to try on a group of drunken scientists.
事實上，這個把戲的關鍵就在於，紅色的也好藍色的也罷，穿透玻璃的還是白光，而不是帶有顏色的光，不過這個小把戲倒是可以騙騙喝多了的科學家們。
Bulge
The lines in this picture are completely parallel would you believe?
膨脹
圖中的線段都是平行的，你信不信？
Keep staring at the black dot...
盯着中間的點看一會兒
After a while the gray haze around it will appear to shrink.
你會發現灰色的部分正在消失。
After Image
Instructions: Stare at the black spot in the center of the four colored squares for about 30 seconds. Then scroll down and move your gaze to the black spot in the uniform white area. Note the colors of the afterimages relative to the colors of the original stimuli. Did they appear different?
殘象
說明：盯着四個色塊中間的黑點看30秒，然後再盯着下面白色區域中的黑點兒看會兒，上一幅的殘像會映在下一幅上，你是不是也發現了？
3D Tube
If you can cross your eyes, so that both pictures slide 'into' each other — to form a third, 3D image between them, the effect you will see is truly stunning! Try focusing on something in between you and the monitor to help see the illusion.
3D管道
如果你能對眼看這幅圖，這樣兩張圖片重疊映入眼簾——形成第三幅，就會出現3D的閃光效果！試着這集中精力看着你和鏡子間的一點，再來看這幅圖片。
