(A)binary在這裡應該翻作由兩部分組成的
" according to alchemy, the material world is a reflection of the spiritual world, and should work according to the same principles. It should be possible, therefore, to transform the grosser(一般的) physical substances into more refined ones, or literally to transform base materials into gold. "
→煉金術的世界觀是由物質界(material world)和精神界(spiritual world)構成的,所以1F想得應該沒錯。((我也是這樣覺得,不曉的有沒有更好的解釋
elude應該翻作「難倒」
The secret of success in this latter process, however, is the secret that has eluded(難倒) so many practitioners (信仰療法的術士) of the art through the ages.
→然而成功點石成金的訣竅卻難倒了許多當時的煉金術術士((我大概翻一下,有錯請幫更正。

Binary[ˋbaɪnərɪ]: 二元的;二進位的;由二部分構成的
elude: (巧妙地)逃避,躲避
divine spark: 神聖的火花

雖然查單字了,但不懂為何是二元的?
是因為整篇文章說煉金術跟有形世界和無形世界有關的緣故嗎?
不知道我這樣想對不對
