短释义
An illusion is an act of deception. Some optical illusions are pretty cool to watch, but an illusion can also point to an erroneous belief or false perception of reality, which is where you start getting into hallucination territory — seeing things that aren’t there. You can give the illusion that you’re fascinated by your professor’s lecture by chewing on your pencil, furrowing your brow, and making sure to nod enthusiastically every so often.
幻觉是不真实的东西。它可能看起来很真实,但实际上是假的——只是一种巧妙的构造或幻想。就像世界各地魔术师所表演的古老的帽子戏法一样。
