1 My stock in trade is not very large --- I don’t deal in laxatives and teething mixtures --- but such as it is, it is varied. I think nothing I sell has effects which could be precisely described as ordinary.(我物品的库存都相当有限—我不卖泻药和漱口水——虽然不多,但品种齐全。我想我这里卖的任何东西都是不寻常的) My store of goods available for trading is not very large --- I don’t sell normal medicines --- but even so my product is of various kinds. I think everything I sell has some extraordinary effects on the users 2 Here is a liquid as colorless as water, almost tasteless, quite imperceptible in coffee, wine, or any other beverage. It is also quite imperceptible to any know method of autopsy.(这是一种像水一样的无色液体,几乎无味,放在咖啡里、葡萄酒里或是其他饮料里是看不出来的。即使是做尸检也是查不出来的。) Here is a liquid which looks like water, almost without any taste; if you put it in coffee, wine, or any other drinks except water, people could not notice it.

3 Young people who need a love potion very seldom have five thousand dollars. Otherwise they would not need a love potion.(那些需要爱情魔液的年轻人极少会
拥有5000美金。否则他们也不会要爱情魔液啦。)
Only those young people who are not rich enough will have to depend on the love potion to win love from the girl they love. If they are rich enough, they could attract the girls with their property, and therefore no love potion is needed. 4 Their effects are permanent, and extend far beyond the mere casual impulse. But they include it…. Bountifully, insistently. Everlastingly.(它们的效果是永恒的,并且不止是一时的冲动。当然,也是包括冲动的。哦,是的,是包括的。丰足的,持久的,永恒的。)
Their effects are long-term, and will reach far more than the occasional impulse. But they include the impulse… abundant, forcefully continuous and long-lasting impulse. 5 For indifference, they substitute devotion. For scorn, adoration. Give one tiny measure of this to the young lady --- its flavor is imperceptible in orange juice, soup or cocktails --- and however gay and giddy she is, she will change
altogether.(冷漠变成了热爱。轻视变成了崇拜。只给那位年轻的女士喝上一点点——在橘子汁、汤或是鸡尾酒里,它的味道是察觉不出来的——不管她是多么的放浪与轻浮,她都会完全改变。)
They will replace disinterest with devoted love, contempt with worshiping love. If you give one small dose of this potion to the young lady --- its taste won’t be noticed in orange juice, soup or cocktails --- and no matter how happy and light-hearted she is, she will have a profound change.
