我花费了漫长的时间努力钻研铅和黄金的化学性质……看起来终于让我发现把前者转化成后者的秘诀了。

I've studied long and hard the chemical attributes of lead and gold... it seems I've finally discovered the secret of making the former into the latter.

实际上黄金和钻石是化学性质稳定的惰性物质，所以黄金和钻石比其他物质更有成效的可能性几乎为零。

The reality is that gold and diamonds are completely unreactive, so the benefit of using gold and diamonds over other things is pretty much zero.
