文字稿

Tymon, World record-holding cuber
"I can usually solve the cube in under six seconds."

泰蒙       三階魔方速擰平均世界紀錄保持者
“我通常能在六秒內把魔方復原。”

Billions of combinations, but only one solution.

魔方被打亂后有數十億種變化組合，但復原后只有一種組合。

These Rubik's Cube fans complete the puzzle at lightning speeds, racing against the clock at this competition in Glasgow, Scotland.

這些魔方愛好者飛快地將魔方復原，他們在這場比賽中爭分奪秒，這場比賽在蘇格蘭格拉斯哥舉行。

Orlaith, Speedcuber
"The Rubik's Cube is very important to me because it's like I have my own distraction from whatever is happening. It's really just something that's really calming to me. I first started cubing, like, two years ago on Christmas Day and my first solve was a couple of hours later. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down."

歐拉       魔方速擰賽選手
“魔方對我來說非常重要，因為它是我業余時間的一個愛好。玩魔方能讓我靜下心來。我第一次玩魔方是在兩年前的圣誕節，沒過幾個小時，我就成功地把魔方復原了。我一拿起魔方，就放不下了。”

Tymon, World record-holding cuber
"We always had a Rubik's Cube lying somewhere around the house. So, at one point, I was like, 'well, it would be cool to solve one'. So, I looked up how to do it on the internet, and when I did, I also came across competitions, and basically ever since then, I've just been cubing all day, every day. You can choose how competitive you are about it. I mean, for me, it's all competitive."

“我們家里總是有一個魔方。有一次我想：要是能把魔方復原就好了。所以，我上網查了一下怎么玩，在查玩法的時候，我發現還有魔方比賽，基本上從那時起，我就一天到晚都在玩魔方。玩魔方這種事要看你的好勝心有多強了。對我個人而言，我一心求勝。”

Jacob, World record-holding cuber
"As well as the standard 3x3, this competition has events such as one-handed, 3x3-blindfolded, then variations of the 3x3, like the 2x2, which is a smaller version, and the 6x6 and 7x7, which are a lot bigger."

雅各布       魔表速擰平均世界紀錄保持者
“除了標準的三階魔方以外，這個比賽還有其它項目，比如單擰、盲擰三階魔方，以及三階魔方的其它版本，比如階數更少的二階魔方和階數高得多的六、七階魔方。”

Orlaith, Speedcuber
"I can personally do it one-handed, but I'm trying to learn blindfolded, but it's really hard. It's really addicting and sometimes you can be up really late doing it, and not even realise it."

歐拉       魔方速擰賽選手
“我可以單手擰魔方，我正在學習盲擰，不過這個玩法真的很難。玩魔方真的很讓人上癮，有時候你可能會玩到很晚都沒發覺時間已經過去了。”
