……真正愚蠢的受骗目标是看不懂这个骗局的；聪明人一眼就能看出自己能从中捞到什么好处。正是贪图占便宜的心思让你陷入了麻烦。去看看戴维·毛雷尔（David Maurer）写的《骗局揭秘》（The Big Con）吧
…truly stupid mark isn't going to understand the scheme; an intelligent person will immediately see the way they stand to benefit. It's the willingness to cheat that gets you in trouble. Check out The Big Con by David Maurer
如果你和我一样讨厌作弊和被骗，你真该读读上面提到的那本《欺骗一切的艺术》（How to Cheat at Everything）。另一本我推荐的书是 David W. Maurer 写的《骗局揭秘》（The Big Con）。如果你是少数几个从没看过《骗中骗》（The Sting）的人之一，你现在就该去看。那是有史以来最棒的电影之一，而且你还能学到一两招关于骗术的门道。……
If you, like me, hate cheating and being cheated, you should really read the mentioned book "How to Cheat at Everything". Another book that I recommend is "The Big Con" by David W. Maurer. And if you are one of the few people who have never seen "The Sting" you should watch it now. It is one of the best movies ever and you may learn one or two things about cheating.…

如果你曾动过心思，想去某个显而易见的行骗现场浑水摸鱼捞一把，强烈建议读读这本书：戴维·毛雷尔（David Maurer）的《骗局揭秘》（The Big Con），讲的是一百年前骗子们如何通过做假股票骗局卷走大笔资金，然后引诱旁观者在骗局进行过程中下注对赌的故事。（正是这本书启发了……
Highly recommended reading if you are ever tempted to take advantage of an apparent scam in progress: David Maurer's The Big Con, the hundred-year-old story of swindlers who stole tons of money by setting up fake stock scams, then luring bystanders into placing side bets on the scams-in-progress.

如果你对这个话题感兴趣，我强烈推荐戴维·毛雷尔（David Maurer）在 1940 年出版的经典之作《骗局揭秘》（The Big Con，https://www.amazon.com/Big-Con-Story-Confidence-Man/dp/03854...）。它讲的是 20 世纪初的职业骗子，而不是 19 世纪的，但细节极其丰富……
If this subject interests you, I cannot recommend highly enough David Maurer's classic book "The Big Con," (https://www.amazon.com/Big-Con-Story-Confidence-Man/dp/03854...) published in 1940. Its subject is the early 20th century confidence man rather than that of the 19th, but it's full of rich detail…
