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.

這是關于一個神秘寶物的傳說。據說，這個寶物可以將它主人的功力增強上千倍。理論上，任何一個擁有它的人都能夠制出包治百病、長生不老的仙丹妙藥。傳說它是一塊紅色的，閃閃發光的寶石，與博物館里最珍貴的珠寶相比也豪不遜色。它象征著自然界中憤怒與美麗的最高境界。

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，這塊石頭的魔力也是相當驚人的。到了煉金師的手中，它幾乎就可以無所不能了。但是，僅有一名煉金術士知道這塊魔石的深層秘密——煉金術士只要將注意力集中在石頭最有力量的層面上就可以操縱人的生死，而這種行為是最為煉金師慣例所禁止的。

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.

很多人都在追尋這塊石頭的魔力，但是都失敗了。只有一位冒險者找到了它。這塊石頭的發現將會決定整個國家的最終命運……還有他自己的命運。擁有這塊石頭他就能挽回他所愛之人的生命，也能夠讓國家軍隊所向披靡。而這正是這位年輕的煉金術士，愛德華，所擔負的責任。因此，他在尋找“賢者之石”的下落。

Edward愛德華（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.

愛德華·艾爾利克是一個鋼之煉金術師。他是一個神童，有史以來最年輕的國家煉金術師。愛德華可以不使用被稱作“煉成陣”的構筑式就能夠發動煉金術。這一偉大的技能以前是從未見的，他的長官們都為之震驚。愛德華不屑做“軍之走狗”，但只有這樣他才能有機會尋到傳說中的“賢者之石”，一塊傳言可以增強煉金禾士功力的紅色水晶。

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.

為了恢復自己斷去的雙臂，愛德華不懈地尋找這塊石頭。更重要的是這塊石頭能夠將他弟弟艾爾方斯因救母復活失敗而被困入鎧甲的靈魂重新歸入其體內。

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.

愛德華意識到自己得到了一份禮物，一份對大多數國家煉金術師只能夢想擁有的禮物。同時，他也認識到擁有了這份禮物他將受萬人矚目。他勉強擊退了一名發誓要報復所有國家煉金術師的瘋狂刺客。此后，愛德華便開始揭開國家軍隊高層中與表象不相符的縷縷線索。同時，這塊珍貴的“賢者之石”的背后還隱藏著一個巨大的秘密。

Alphonse艾爾方斯（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.

當一連串不幸的事情改變著艾爾方斯生活的時候，他還僅僅是一個無辜的孩子。首先，在阿爾還未記事時，他的父親就神秘地消失了。隨后，一場可怕的疾病帶走了阿爾媽媽的生命。最后，正當他在進行一項被禁止的煉金術時，一件可怕的事情又發生了，他的身體被封入了一副鎧甲之中。阿爾無畏而坦蕩地面對他年輕生命里所發生在的一切，并一如既往地支持哥哥愛德華尋找傳說中的“賢者之石”，一塊能夠恢復阿爾身體，復原愛德華斷臂的寶石。
