《极简手相学:掌纹解读入门》——卡桑德拉·伊森 著

Introduction: What is Palmistry?

引言:什么是手相学?

Palmistry is probably the most fun and most straightforward and exciting of all methods of divination.

意译: 手相术大概是所有占卜方式中最有趣、最直观、也最令人兴奋的一种。

直译: 手相术或许是所有占卜方法中最有趣、最直接且最令人兴奋的。

Yet many palmistry books are bought and abandoned a quarter of the way through because of their complexity, such as the hundreds of rules you apparently need to learn.

意译: 然而,许多手相术书籍被买回来后,往往看到四分之一就被束之高阁了——原因就在于其内容过于复杂,比如那些你显然需要记住的数以百计的规则。

直译: 然而许多手相书被购买后,在读完四分之一的时候就被放弃了,原因在于它们的复杂性,例如那些你显然需要学习的数百条规则。

However, you can learn simple, but accurate, basic palmistry in a relatively short time with a minimum of rules, most of which are common sense, and so in this book I concentrate on the essentials, things that are necessary for accurate readings without destroying their spontaneity.

意译: 然而,你完全可以在相对较短的时间内,以极少的规则学会简单却准确的基础手相术——这些规则大多不过是常识而已。因此,本书中我专注于核心要点,也就是那些能够保证解读准确、又不破坏其直觉性的必要内容。

直译: 然而,你可以在相对较短的时间内,以最少的规则学习简单但准确的基础手相术,其中大多数规则都是常识,因此在本书中我专注于要点——那些对于准确解读而言必不可少、又不破坏其自发性的事物。
