English name: Full Metal Alchemist 《钢之炼金术士》
Official site: http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Animation/hagaren/
The legend tells of a mystical artifact that when it used its possessor's power will increase a thousand fold. Anyone possessing this artifact could in theory produce an elixir of extraordinary power that would heal all injuries, and give them everlasting life. It is rumored to be red; a brilliant, sparkling crimson rivaling the most precious jewel in any museum. The stone's power is equal to the greatest of Nature's fury and beauty alike.
这是关于一个神秘宝物的传说。据说，这个宝物可以将它主人的功力增强上千倍。理论上，任何一个拥有它的人都能够制出包治百病、长生不老的仙丹妙药。传说它是一块红色的，闪闪发光的宝石，与博物馆里最珍贵的珠宝相比也豪不逊色。它象征着自然界中愤怒与美丽的最高境界。
Even in the hands of the most ordinary person the stone's potential is amazing. But in the hands of an Alchemist, its power becomes godlike. Only an Alchemist knows the deeper secrets of the stone. By tapping into the stone's most elemental levels the Alchemist is able to transmute human life, the most forbidden of all Alchemical practices.
即使在最普通的人手中，这块石头的魔力也是相当惊人的。到了炼金师的手中，它几乎就可以无所不能了。但是，仅有一名炼金术士知道这块魔石的深层秘密——炼金术士只要将注意力集中在石头最有力量的层面上就可以操纵人的生死，而这种行为是最为炼金师惯例所禁止的。
Many have sought out the stone's power; all have failed. But a new adventurer has taken up the quest. A young State Alchemist seeks to right a most horrific wrong. His quest will determine the ultimate fate of an entire nation...and for himself. To seize the stone would allow him to restore life to those he loves, but it will also make it possible for the State Military to obliterate countless more. It is this burden that the young Alchemist bears. His name is Edward Elric. And he seeks the Philosopher's Stone.
很多人都在追寻这块石头的魔力，但是都失败了。只有一位冒险者找到了它。这块石头的发现将会决定整个国家的最终命运……还有他自己的命运。拥有这块石头他就能挽回他所爱之人的生命，也能够让国家军队所向披靡。而这正是这位年轻的炼金术士，爱德华，所担负的责任。因此，他在寻找“贤者之石”的下落。
Edward爱德华（哥哥）
Edward Elric is the Full Metal Alchemist. He is a prodigy, becoming the youngest State Alchemist in the Army's history. Edward stunned his superiors by using Alchemy without an array, a miraculous feat never witnessed before. Ed despises being "a dog of the military," but it grants him the opportunity to seek out the legendary Philosopher's Stone, a crimson crystal rumored to increase the power of the Alchemist who uses it.
爱德华·艾尔利克是一个钢之炼金术师。他是一个神童，有史以来最年轻的国家炼金术师。爱德华可以不使用被称作“炼成阵”的构筑式就能够发动炼金术。这一伟大的技能以前是从未见的，他的长官们都为之震惊。爱德华不屑做“军之走狗”，但只有这样他才能有机会寻到传说中的“贤者之石”，一块传言可以增强炼金禾士功力的红色水晶。
Edward seeks the stone so that he may restore his missing limbs,and more importantly reunite his younger brother Alphonse's body with his soul, which was tragically trapped in a suit of armor after a failed attempt through Alchemy to revive the dead Tricia Elric, the boys' mother.
为了恢复自己断去的双臂，爱德华不懈地寻找这块石头。更重要的是这块石头能够将他弟弟艾尔方斯因救母复活失败而被困入铠甲的灵魂重新归入其体内。
Edward realizes he has a gift, a gift that most State Alchemists could only dream of having. But he knows that with that gift he becomes a high profile target. As Edward reluctantly fights off a crazed assassin who vows revenge on all State Alchemists, Edward begins to unravel the clues that reveal that not all is as it seems at the highest levels of the State Military. And, that there is a terrible secret behind the precious Philosopher's Stone.
爱德华意识到自己得到了一份礼物，一份对大多数国家炼金术师只能梦想拥有的礼物。同时，他也认识到拥有了这份礼物他将受万人瞩目。他勉强击退了一名发誓要报复所有国家炼金术师的疯狂刺客。此后，爱德华便开始揭开国家军队高层中与表象不相符的缕缕线索。同时，这块珍贵的“贤者之石”的背后还隐藏着一个巨大的秘密。
Alphonse艾尔方斯（弟弟）
Alphonse Elric was but an innocent young child when a tragic chain of events changed his life forever. First, his father mysteriously vanished while Al was too young to remember. Then, after battling a terrible illness, Al's mother succumbed to death. Finally, during a horrific accident performing forbidden Alchemy, Al's body was sealed inside a suit of armor. Undaunted and unashamed by all that has happened in his short life, Al carries on, eternally supporting his older brother, Edward, in his search for the Philosopher's Stone, a legendary gem with the power to restore Al's body and Edward's lost limbs.
当一连串不幸的事情改变着艾尔方斯生活的时候，他还仅仅是一个无辜的孩子。首先，在阿尔还未记事时，他的父亲就神秘地消失了。随后，一场可怕的疾病带走了阿尔妈妈的生命。最后，正当他在进行一项被禁止的炼金术时，一件可怕的事情又发生了，他的身体被封入了一副铠甲之中。阿尔无畏而坦荡地面对他年轻生命里所发生在的一切，并一如既往地支持哥哥爱德华寻找传说中的“贤者之石”，一块能够恢复阿尔身体，复原爱德华断臂的宝石。
