方舟 生存進化 畸變DLC獨有物種圖鑒及官方中文介紹

各位久等了,話說在前,本人因為學業問題一直到今天才抽出空漢化該系列圖鑒,在這裡給久等的各位說聲抱歉。
然後新資料片的物種都是有官方正式名稱的,所以蝸牛漢化的那些“死神國王女王”“劫掠者”“毒蜥”之類的名字,我個人不贊同他們的翻譯,但我也無能為力,所以想通過我自己的認知和技術來發表我的翻譯方案。
所有物種的中文名稱我都會給出官方中文對照以及名稱含義和緣由。


地下/地表死神國王/王后-異形襲掠龍-Reaper
之所以冠以異形之號,官方給出的代碼寫的就是Xenomorph(異形),所以尊重一波官方的意見。然後襲掠龍這個稱呼實際上是來自骷髏島的早期設定裡邊的大型獸腳類恐龍襲虐龍,Reaper意思是收割,掠奪,所以取名襲掠龍。
Wild
野生
At home in the cavern’s deepest chambers, Reapers are towering, terrifying apex predators. Beyond overwhelming their prey with fangs and claws, Reapers can burrow underground to set an ambush and fire acidic projectiles from their tails.
生活在洞穴深處的異形襲掠龍(Xenomorph sp.)是碩大而恐怖的超級掠食者。除了令人不寒而慄的尖牙利爪,異形襲掠龍還能夠鑽到地底下伺機而動,並用能夠使用尾巴彈射出炙熱的酸性液體。
Yet it is their macabre method of reproduction that is their most frightening feature. Bizarrely, a female Reaper’s tail doubles as a reproductive organ, but only when piercing human survivors. Once impregnated, the survivor carries the young reaper until it bursts from their chest in a grotesque, disturbing spectacle.
而最讓人毛骨悚然的是她們恐怖的繁殖方式。襲掠龍皇后以尾巴作為生殖器官進行打擊,但是只會對人類倖存者才有用。一旦倖存者懷上了皇后的龍種,寄主就會一直攜帶著幼年襲掠龍,直到一日它破腹而出,想想就令人膽寒……

If impregnated by a female Reaper, I strongly urge that the survivor kill the embryo via exposure to radiation. However, there are rumors that Reapers might imprint themselves on a survivor who possesses a Reaper pheromone gland.
如果你懷上了一個襲掠龍皇后的種,強烈建議這名倖存者通過接受輻射的形式把胚胎殺死。而有傳言稱,幼年襲掠龍會對擁有襲掠龍性資訊腺體的倖存者們產生“銘印”現象。
This has led some mad survivors with dreams of riding on the back of a Reaper to try seeing the gestation period through to the end, but that is extremely dangerous, not to mention disgusting.
所以就有些夢想著駕馭襲掠龍的瘋子會嘗試經歷這段痛苦的妊娠期,直到分娩為止。但是這個事情真的十分危險,更不用說多令人作嘔了。



劫掠犬(Canis Barghest),學名的意思是地獄魔犬,來自英國民間傳說中的犬狀妖怪,Ravager意思接近劫掠者,為了強調這貨是犬類改動了一下名稱。
Canis的身份可能暗示劫掠犬其實是恐狼的畸變種。

Wild
野生
Anywhere else, Canis Barghest’s powerful muscles, wicked claws, and fearsome countenance would put it near the top of the food chain. Yet in these caves, this common, lupine predator resides somewhere in the middle. That said, it is an intelligent hunter with an exceptional ability to adapt. For example, it has learned to utilize the zip lines that survivors have built as a means of travel, all on its own. Remarkable!
要是放別的地方,劫掠犬(Canis Barghest)的強大力量,邪惡的利爪以及面目可憎的表情理應讓它成為地方一霸。但是在畸變的世界裡,這太常見了,犬形掠食者在這個世界裡最多也就在食物鏈中層。即便如此,它還是個有著非凡適應性的聰明的獵人。例如,它以及學會利用人類作為旅行工具拉建的纜線,這些都是劫掠犬所獨一無二的特點。

The strong legs of the Canis Barghest make it an effective mount for many survivors, particularly for long distance travel. While other creatures outshine it when it comes to bursts of speed, its stamina and ability to climb across both natural vines and artificial ziplines makes it a highly versatile travelling companion.
劫掠犬強壯的四肢為倖存者們提供了一種有效的坐騎選擇,尤其是在長距離旅行方面。而和其他生物相比,劫掠犬的爆發力,耐力和爬藤能力(不管是自然的藤蔓還是人工的攬繩)讓它成為卓越的旅伴。

軒轅巨蟒(Serpens regulus),學名意思可以理解很多種,Serpens是巨蛇,Regulus是軒轅十四(或者獅子座α星)的意思,位於獅子座。之所以翻譯成蟒是因為我覺得它是泰坦蟒的畸變種(但是奇怪的是它和泰坦蟒共存在畸變世界)。
順帶解釋一下,方舟的泰坦蟒是方舟的獨立種,學名Titanoboa exomantur,意思是長著華麗裝飾的巨型蚺蛇,意指泰坦蟒脖子那一圈褶皺。

wild
野生
More than twice the size of wild Titanoboa Exomantur, Serpens Regulus is the largest and most lethal snake I’ve encountered. With a skull that’s more draconic than serpentine, it possesses a powerful bite, made even deadlier by the potent venom dripping from its fangs.
軒轅帝蟒(Serpens regulus)是我見過的最大,最致命的蛇類,甚至比飾紋泰坦蟒(Titanoboa exomantur,方舟特有倭化種)還大兩倍左右。軒轅帝蟒長著一個比蛇更像龍的腦袋,並且擁有強大的咬力和滴淌著更致命的毒液的毒牙。
The unique shape of its skull allows Serpens to hunt in a way that other snakes cannot: by burrowing. Once underground, it simply waits for its victims to approach. Fortunately its forked tail is usually still visible, poking just aboveground.
其頭骨獨特的形狀使帝蟒擁有一種別的蛇類做不到的技能:遁地。一旦鑽進地下,他只需要在地下守株待兔。幸運的是它分叉的尾巴仍然肉眼可見,只是被埋在土裡邊而已。

Miraculously, survivors have not only managed to tame Serpens Regulus, but ride it. Some can even stay seated while it lies in wait belowground, though I doubt it’s a pleasant experience. While a wild Serpens can only be forced out of hiding by fire or explosives, once domesticated, it is easily trained to burrow or surface on command.
而神奇的是,倖存者們不但能馴服軒轅帝蟒,還能把它騎在胯下。有的人甚至還能騎著帝蟒埋伏在地下,儘管我懷疑這只是一次愉快的經歷。野生的軒轅帝蟒只會被動地躲避火災或爆炸,而馴化的帝蟒卻能輕易地訓練埋伏在地下或者在地上待命等技能。

其他的慢慢跟上,歡迎在此樓提出問題建議。


晦暗岩龍(Draconis obscurum),學名意思是昏暗的龍,obscurum是obscure的拉丁化,同名物種有暗色溪花鱂Fluviphylax obscurum和暗旗鱂Aphyosemion obscurum,值得一提的是。
焦土和仙境中的四種飛龍都屬於Draconis屬的毒龍種D.vipera,也就是說火龍電龍冰龍都只是毒龍的亞種或者變種,而晦暗岩龍卻是Draconis屬的獨立種。
Wild
野生
Draconis Obscurum is a magnificent example of a predator that has flawlessly adapted to its environment. It is surrounded by cavern walls, so it developed powerful claws with which to scale them and colorful plumage on its anterior limbs that let it glide from perch to perch.
晦暗岩龍(Draconis Obscurum)是一個眾多掠食者中的完美地適應其環境的極好例子。由於它被洞穴組成的牆壁所重重包圍,它進化出了強而有力的利爪,它的前肢還有展開的鱗片和色彩斑斕的羽毛,這能幫助它從一處滑翔到另一處。
But most dangerous of all? Its active camouflage, which lets it fade into the shadows and stalk its prey undetected.
但是岩龍最大的危險是什麼?它的機動偽裝,這能夠讓它在暗影中“消失”並且利用這招追擊獵物。
It has even adapted to the Nameless and The Reapers. Draconis’ feathers will raise in warning when they are near, and this massive elegant lizard seems to be the Reaper’s only natural enemy.
這招甚至對無名怪和襲掠龍都照樣奏效。當岩龍出現在附近時,它會展開羽毛並發出警告,以及這條巨大而優雅的蜥蜴可能是襲掠龍的唯一天敵。


敏捷巨螯蟹(Karkinos versatus),原型應當是現存的大名鼎鼎的甘氏巨螯蟹(Macrocheira kaempferi,所謂的日本殺人蟹),Karkinos是巨蟹座的拉丁化,versatus的意思有兩種,1,轉動(Turned),2,敏捷的,熟練的。這裡應該意指它的敏捷性。
Wild
野生

Karkinos Versatus is the giant cousin of modern crab species, with long, spindly limbs that remind me of the Japanese Spider Crab and a hard, stony shell. It is much more agile than its smaller brethren, but even more noticeable are its pincer claws.
敏捷巨螯蟹(Karkinos versatus)是現代螃蟹種類的巨大表親,長著修長的四肢,讓人想起了甘氏巨螯蟹(Macrocheira kaempferi)和外殼堅硬的硨磲(Tridacna gigas)。敏捷巨螯蟹比它的小親戚們更加敏捷,但更引人矚目的是它的巨鉗。
In an extraordinary display of dexterity, Karkinos is able to wield each claw independently and precisely. This allows it to trap multiple targets in its vice like grip, or hold an enemy in one claw while it smashes a second foe with the other.
在一次非凡的敏捷度展示中,巨螯蟹能夠獨立地使用每一個利爪。這使它可以以此鉗制多個目標,或者在它一隻螯鉗住一個敵人的時候用另一隻螯粉碎另一個敵人。

Many survivors have found Karkinos to be an excellent war steed, as it can snatch enemy riders from their mounts, or grab and throw smaller creatures. However, its ability to leap to great heights and its swiftness relative to its size also make it useful in caravans.
許多倖存者們發現巨螯蟹是個優秀的戰寵,它可以從敵人的坐騎上搶奪它們的騎手,或者抓住更小的動物。然而,它還有極強的跳高能力,相對其尺寸,它的速度也使它在一個車隊中變得有用起來。


惱人追尋者(Chimaeram odiosus),Seeker意為追尋者,odiosus, 意思是惱人的 (annoying),至於Chimaeram是指一種叫奇美拉的玩意。順帶一嘴,這玩意召喚代碼中有個別名叫Pteroteuthis, 是無齒翼龍Pteranodon和托斯特巨魷Tusoteuthis的合成詞,意思大致是魷魚頭翼龍.
Wild
野生
A highly hostile predator with a pack mentality, Chimaeram Odiosus has a voracious appetite, and will quickly swarm anything that possesses its favorite delicacy: Charge.
胃口貪婪的惱人追尋者(Chimaeram Odiosus)是一種高度敵對的群居掠食者,並且它們會迅速聚集到任何擁有它們最喜歡的食物——電荷的地方。
Fact, Charge light seems to be crucial to its survival. When in its presence, they are strong and aggressive, but without it, they are weaker and quicker to flee.
事實上,電荷光似乎對其生存至關重要。當它出現時,它們強大而好戰,但是沒有電荷的時候,它們會越來越虛弱,溜得也更快。
Though distinct from any known species, Chimaeram’s appearance is a hideous pastiche of bats and cephalopods, and as an unbiased professional, I have to say: I really hate these bloody things. Honestly.
在公正專業的角度上講,雖然追尋者不同於任何已知物種,它的外貌看上去就像一個可怕的長著章魚腦袋的蝙蝠,講真,我不得不說我真的太噁心這些該死的玩應了。

For better or worse, there is no known method of taming Chimaeram Odiosus. If one must confront these creatures, remember to do so away from any charged light sources, as an empowered Chimaeram swarm can punch well above its weight class.
無論好壞,目前沒有已知的方式馴服追尋者。如果你一個人面對這些生物,請記住遠離任何電荷光源,一群得到電荷的追尋者能貫穿一切超重量級的物種。


翻滾巨裸鼴(Heterocephalus Magnus),Heterocephalus是裸鼴鼠屬屬名,Maganus意思是大的。結合“RollRat”的名字取名翻滾巨裸鼴。
Wild
野生
Bearing a strong resemblance to its relative, the Naked Mole Rat, Heterocephalus Magnus is a gentle giant that digs for plants and fungi with its imposing front teeth. While foraging, it often uncovers precious resources inadvertently, but survivors should claim them with caution, as this triggers an aggressive response.
與它的親戚裸鼴鼠(Heterocephalus glaber)有很多相似的地方,翻滾巨裸鼴(Heterocephalus magnus)是一個用其巨大的門齒挖掘植物和真菌的泥足巨人。在覓食的過程中,它們經常無意發現珍貴的資源,但是倖存者們應當慎重,否則會引起它的攻擊性反應。
When threatened, Heterocephalus rolls up into a ball to shield itself with the armored plates on its back, much like an armadillo. It then rolls around like an oversized bowling ball, smashing through rocks, walls, and hopefully its aggressor.
當受到威脅,翻滾巨裸鼴會蜷成一個巨球,利用背上的裝甲板保護自己,就像犰狳那樣。之後他會像一個保齡球一樣到處滾動,貫穿岩石,牆壁,以及對它不懷好意的掠食者。

While hardly a ferocious war beast, Heterocephalus is an effective transport that can carry up to three passengers. In theory, it could also be siege weapon, as its rolling attack can dent even metal. Fortunately, most survivors use a special saddle that deploys a protective canopy when it starts spinning, which not only keeps them from getting squished, but provides extra protection to the rider and mount alike.
雖然不是兇猛的戰獸,巨裸鼴仍然是一個高效的交通工具,它能一次攜帶三個乘客。理論上它可以成為一個攻城利器,它的滾球攻擊甚至可以造成金屬的凹陷。而幸運的是,大部分倖存者會製作一個特殊的鞍,當巨裸鼴開始滾動攻擊時,上面安裝的保護罩會保護騎手不會被碾壓,並且還為騎手坐騎都提供了額外的保護。

發一張無名怪的早期設定。

不是樓主不更新,是百度老說我上傳失敗……

刻律涅小耀角鹿(Microlumins cerynitis),意思是微小(Micro)的光芒(Lumina);而Cerynitis實際上是出自希臘神話故事中,阿爾忒彌斯拉車用座駕——刻律涅牝鹿,這是一種僅有五隻,疾逾飛箭的神鹿,其中最後一隻被大力神赫拉克勒斯殺死。
Wild野生
Most commonly found in the upper chambers of the caverns, Microluminis Cerynitis is at once elegant and adorable. As with its relatives, it is entirely peaceful, and no threat to survivors.
刻律涅小耀角鹿(Microluminis Cerynitis)第一眼感覺既優雅而可愛,它在洞穴的上部十分常見。像它的親戚一樣,小耀角鹿是對倖存者毫無威脅的完全和平主義者。
After closer study, by which I mean very scientific bouts of cuddling, I’ve found that it shares traits with both bovids and cervids. However in the soft glow of its charge light, Microluminis Cerynitis always gave me the impression that were it larger, it would be right at home pulling Artemis’ chariot.
經過仔細研究,我的意思是說我很科學的把它抱了一通,我發現它和牛科,鹿科有著共同的特徵。而它的電荷光能發出柔和的光線,刻律涅小耀角鹿一直所給我的印象是:當它變大之後,一定能成為給阿爾忒彌斯拉車的座駕之一。

無名怪,一個不知道怎麼命名怎麼分類的神話物種,這點我尊重蝸牛方面,沒有重新給他取名字。
無名怪的起源至今仍然是個未解之謎,但是無論它起源何處,這個惡魔都沒有值得嘲笑之處,它們從不單獨出現。普通的無名怪會追隨它們族群首領的一切行為,並且會快速的注意到戰鬥呼喚。
看似舉止野蠻的無名怪實際上非常聰明。當他們受到傷害時,它們會挖洞遁地保護自己免受進一步的傷害。幸運的是,它們很容易受到電荷光的傷害和炙烤,只要利用這個弱點就可以救人於水火之中。
家養
一切試圖馴服這些無名怪的企圖通通破產。無名怪們之間擁有牢不可破的紐帶,區區人類是無法征服的。


閃光異形七鰓鰻(Xenomyzon luminosus),Xeno-xenogenic異種的,-myzon是盲鰻的尾碼,上文在翻譯小耀角鹿的時候提到過Luminosus是lumina的拉丁化,意為光芒,閃光。
Xenomycon Luminosus is one of the most poisonous aquatic species I’ve ever encountered. While its trademark glowing tail makes it easy to spot and identify, those luminescent glands are also where it products and stores a debilitating poison.
閃光異形七鰓鰻(Xenomyzon luminosus)是我遇到過的最毒的幾種水生生物之一。它標誌性的發光尾巴讓它很容易被發現和辨認,但是這些發光腺體中生產並儲存一種會使人逐漸虛弱的毒素。
Xenomycon has developed a particular fondness for blood, and whenever possible, it will attempt to latch onto human subjects. Once it does, it injects a poison for which there are only two cures: A specialized antidote or time. I would not recommend the latter.
異形七鰓鰻早已進化的嗜血如命,它會盡可能地抓住人類身上的任意一個地方。一旦成功,它會注射一種毒素,而療法只有兩種:專用的解藥或者時間,我不建議後者。
Domesticated
家養
While Xenomycon cannot be brought to heel, some survivors have stored them in fish baskets for other uses. This keeps the subject alive and contained, but not properly tamed.
雖然異形七鰓鰻不能自己跟著人們到處跑,一些倖存者還是利用魚筐把它關起來用於其他用途。你能用魚筐收納並維持七鰓鰻的生命,但絕對沒有真正意義上的馴服它。

靈魂耀尾蜥(Microluminis psykhe),這裡出現了個BUG,圖鑒中的耀尾蜥竟然和小耀角鹿(Microlumins)共用了同一個屬名,作為爬行動物的耀尾蜥和哺乳動物小耀角鹿竟然是同一個屬的?作為生物學家的圖鑒作者海倫娜怕是要打回去複讀幾年咯。psykhe的意思是靈魂(soul).
Wild

With a body reminiscent of a gecko, fluttery wings and a natural stockpile of charge light, Microluminis Psykhe has an unearthly, if oddly charming appearance. A curious creature by nature, it always gave me the impression that it was studying me as much as I was studying it.
有著讓人聯想到壁虎的軀體,飄揚的翅膀和天然的電荷光儲備機制,靈魂耀尾蜥(Microluminis psykhe)有著神秘而迷人的外表。這是一個天性好奇的生物,我一直覺得它總是在研究我,就像我研究它那樣。

A favorite snack of many predators, this small lizard has no natural poisons, or any means of defending itself at all save for a swift retreat and its charge light. Survivors can approach it without fear.
作為許多掠食者的美味,這種無毒小蜥蜴沒有任何的自衛手段,除了迅速逃走和它的電荷光源。倖存者可以毫不忌憚的接近它。
Domesticated

As a pet, Microluminis Psykhe is happy to clamber up a survivor’s shoulder and cling to it as though it never wants to leave. Evenly tempered and easy to care for after being tamed, it is a stalwart companion and an excellent source of charge light.
作為一個寵物,靈魂耀尾蜥很樂意爬到一個人類的肩膀上,仿佛永遠都不願離開一樣。 性格溫和,易於馴服,耀尾蜥是你可靠地夥伴和絕佳的電荷光源。


報曉光羽鳥(Microluminus alectryon),屬名跟上邊提過的小耀角鹿和耀尾蜥一樣,都是“發光的小動物”的意思;alectryon是我根據原意引申出來的翻譯,原意是出自希臘神話的阿勒克特裡翁:
阿勒克特裡翁原來是戰神阿瑞斯的忠實奴僕,一次阿瑞斯和愛神愛芙羅蒂狄偷情,負責站崗放哨的阿勒克特裡翁卻不小心睡著了,結果被赫利俄斯發現了,並將此事通報奧林匹斯眾神導致二人出醜。
而失職的阿勒克特裡翁最終被阿瑞斯變成了一隻負責報曉的公雞,而我翻譯的時候就引申出了報曉之意。
順帶一提,蝸牛方面翻譯的時候只是把字面上的light翻譯成了“輕”,而沒有想到它的本意其實是“光芒”。
A floating beacon of light often found in the deepest pits of these caverns, Microluminus Alectryon’s appearance can seem almost heavenly. It’s colorful plumage doesn’t hurt either. Even without the charged light it emits, it would give any modern bird on Earth a run for its money in terms of pure spectacle.
這些浮動的光柱經常在洞穴深處被發現,報曉光羽鳥(Microluminus alectryon)給人一種神聖的感覺。它色彩斑斕的鳥羽沒有任何危害,即使沒有它散發出來的電荷光,它也能給你帶來任何地球上的鳥類給人觀賞所掙到的一樣多的錢財。
Although its feathery eyebrows might give one of the impression that it is related to owls, it is not a bird of prey. It is entirely docile, and shows no aggression towards survivors or other creatures.
雖然它眉毛狀的羽毛給人感覺它跟鴞形目可能有親緣關係,但是它是十分溫馴的鳥類,對人類和其他生物沒有任何敵意。
Domesticated

Microluminus Alectryon’s ability to fly and the ease with which it perches upon a survivor’s shoulder has made it a favored pet among many. Some consider it the most refined of its glowing brethren, but I think they just want them to look like pirate. Not that I blame them…
報曉光羽鳥的飛行能力和實用性讓它成為眾多人類肩膀上的寵物中較受歡迎的一個。一些人覺得它真是最耀眼的好兄弟,不過,不是我說話難聽,我覺得它們就是一群覺得自己是海盜的瘋子。

剩餘的什麼發光蟲燈泡狗的明天再發,老TM說我什麼上傳失敗……
