I began the class by asking students whether they would approve of my carrying out a particular magic experiment. I picked two volunteers, Nicholas and John, and told them that I was capable of making $200 disappear from Nicholas’s bank account – poof! – while adding $300 to John’s.amp#160;
一开场，我先询问了大家是否同意我以一个特别神奇的实验。我选了尼古拉斯和约翰作为志愿者，然后告诉他们，我有办法令尼古拉斯帐户里的200美元消失——变！——同时让约翰的帐户增加300美元，社会工程的伟业可以令这个班级作为一个整体额外增加100美元的价值。那么他们会允许我来玩这个小把戏吗？
