这次是跟避难所最相关的两间公司：Vault-Tec和RobCo
在游戏中，前者除了盖避难所以外，跟玩家最相关的就是神奇的时间停止器VATS
后者则是一大堆需要点科技破解的电脑、哔哔小子、隐形小子和几乎所有的机器人
贴完这两间公司后，就会开始翻译各个避难所了

《Vault-Tec Corporation Vault-Tec有限公司》
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault-Tec_Corporation
The Vault-Tec Corporation was a company contracted by the United States
government before the Great War to design and produce the vault system, a
vast network of complex bomb and research shelters.
Vault-Tec有限公司是一间公司，在大战前和美国政府签约制造避难所系统。
Background 背景
The following is based on Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel and has not been
confirmed by canon sources.
以下内容基于非正史的《Fallout：钢铁兄弟会》
Vault-Tec designed and constructed advanced technologies. It was a major
military contractor before the Great War, and as such, developed highly
experimental, advanced and secret technologies. In time, Vault-Tec became so
thoroughly integrated with top-secret military research done by the Pentagon
that it had practically become a department of the U.S. government. The
company still remained in private hands, but because of its strong connection
to the American government, the principal personnel of Vault-Tec - its
executives, top scientists, engineers, and so on - had to be aware of the
true purpose of the vaults and Project Safehouse.
Vault-Tec设计及发展尖端科技，他是战前军方的主要承包商，因此能研发高度实验性、
先进及秘密科技。Vault-Tec跟五角大厦在高机密军事科技上的合作非常之密切，以至于
他们几乎算是美国政府的一个部门了。尽管该公司仍然有自己的私人业务，但他们和美国
政府的连结如此强烈，使的中心人员─行政人员、顶尖科学家、工程师等等─全部都知道
避难所和安全屋计画的真正目标。
Regardless of the American government's directives, Vault-Tec's high-ranking
personnel had no intention of submitting to a lottery and living underground
with a bunch of human cattle in the intentionally defective vault facilities
that they had constructed. Vault-Tec instead created their own private
emergency shelter facility for their top employees and their families,
removed from the larger vault network, and kept secret from the U.S.
government. This facility is now known as the Secret Vault.
先不管美国政府的意向，Vault-Tec的高阶人员可没兴趣去抽避难所名额，抽中了还要跟
一群死老百姓住在自己故意盖的很烂的设施里。Vault-Tec替自己的高阶员工和家属盖了
私人的庇护设施，从避难所网络中分离并不让美国政府所知，这设施就是秘密避难所。
Vault-Tec did not stop there. This secret, private installation was used to
research new, more advanced technologies that would benefit mankind in the
midst of post-nuclear environment. This initiative included some extensive
research with the "Forced Evolutionary Virus" (FEV), the results of which,
unlike the government-controlled research on the virus' uses at Vault 87, was
also kept secret from the government. It is known that the FEV stored in the
Secret Vault was highly modified in an attempt to achieve its original goals
and also avoid sterility among those subjects infected and mutated by it.
However, this modification proved unsuccessful.
Vault-Tec并不以此满足，秘密避难所还被用来研究更新更进步的科技以造福核战后人类
。这些包括对FEV的广泛研究，其研究成果跟政府研究并用在87号避难所的病毒并不一样
，而且也没让政府知道其存在。存放在秘密避难所的FEV被高度改造过以期在能达到原始
目的时还能避免受感染及变种的目标不孕，不过这些改造最后并不成功。
Other Vault-Tec projects that were intended for the corporation's own use
included the development of their own robotic systems, a special biological
weapons program (the results of which were probably the creation of a unique
race of radroaches and a variation of the deathclaw), advanced biomedical
research on the effects of rapid cell regeneration, and even an attempt to
create a model of power armor to be used by Vault-Tec personnel.
其他Vault-Tec自用的研究计画，包括他们自己的机器人系统、一套特殊的生化武器程序
（该生化武器可能就是造成变种蟑螂和死亡爪出现的原因）、对于细胞快速再生的进阶生
医研究、甚至还想做出Vault-Tec版本的动力装甲。

Project Safehouse and the Societal Preservation Program
安全屋计画和社会保存方案
Vault-Tec's most notable product was the vault. Officially, the vaults were
part of “Project Safehouse”, designed to protect the American population
from nuclear holocaust. In actuality, they had a more sinister purpose, a
project known as the "Societal Preservation Program".
Vault-Tec最著名的产品是避难所，官方上来说避难所是“安全屋计画”的一部分，设计
来在核子屠杀中保护美国人民。事实上，安全屋中有个更险恶的目的，一个名为“社会保
存方案”的计画。
The vaults could not possibly have saved the citizens of the United States
from the ravages of a nuclear war or a viral pandemic. With a population of
almost 400 million by 2077, the U.S. would have needed over 400,000 Vaults to
protect every man, woman and child. Vault-Tec was commissioned by the
American government to build only 122 such vaults.
避难所根本不可能在核子战争或疫病大流行中保护美国人民。美国在2077年的人口有将近
四亿，需要超过四十万个避难所才能保护所有人，但Vault-Tec在美国政府的委托之下只
盖了122个避难所。
The true reason for the construction of the vaults was to allow the
government to secretly study pre-selected segments of the American
population, observe how they would react to the stresses of isolation, and
how successfully they would re-colonize the devastated Earth and stars after
the vault opened.
建造避难所的真正理由是能让政府对预先选出的一些人做研究，观察他们在孤立的压力下
的反应，以及避难所开启后他们对地表重新殖民的成功程度。
In addition, most vaults were designed to conduct often immoral experiments
on live human test subjects. The purposes and experiments carried out in each
vault varied. They included: the use of the FEV on an unwitting test
population (Vault 87), the development of super soldiers (Vault 92), the
creation of an entire population of human clones (Vault 108), Vault 101 was
subject to a "never to be opened" policy: the inhabitants were never going to
be allowed to leave, the frequent use of psychoactive drugs (Vault 106), the
extended use of a virtual reality simulator on a population (Vault 112), to
observe the effects of long-term cryogenic suspended animation on
unsuspecting test subjects (Vault 111), and so on.
此外，许多避难所都有针对活体人类测试的不道德实验进行特别设计，不同避难所有不同
的实验目的，包括：对不知情测试者的FEV实验（87号避难所）、超级士兵研究（92号避
难所）、复制人（108避难所）、“永不开放原则”（101避难所）、频繁使用精神药物的
影响（106避难所）、对居民长期使用虚拟实境模拟器（112避难所）、长期冬眠影响（
111避难所），诸如此类。
This project was the work of the Enclave, a secret shadow organization of
federal officials and corporate executives that used the Vault-Tec company to
set up this sinister experiment. The Enclave considered themselves prime
candidates for recolonizing the world after a nuclear holocaust and to this
end commissioned the construction of their own shelters, isolated from the
vault network. The results of the vault experiments were intended to help
prepare the Enclave for either re-colonizing Earth or colonizing another
planet if Earth turned out to be uninhabitable.
负责该计画的政府组织是英克雷，这是美国政府下的影子组织，利用Vault-Tec建立这险
恶的实验。英克雷认为自己是被选召来在核子浩劫后重新殖民整个世界，并盖了一个独立
于避难所网络之外的避难所。这系列避难所实验的目的是要帮助英克雷重新殖民整个地球
，或在地球已无法居住的情况下殖民其他星球。
The experiments were monitored by Vault-Tec researchers in separate
facilities. Sometimes select vault inhabitants (frequently the overseer) were
aware of the nature of the experiment and also gathered data.
整个实验都由Vault-Tec研究人员在数个不同设施监控，有时某些被选上的避难所居民（
通常是监督）也知道有实验并帮忙收集资料。
The experiment may be considered a success in terms of the data collected:
data that was much more important to the Vault-Tec and Enclave scientists
than a few-hundred thousand lives. Perhaps they felt that the trade-off was
mutual, as most of the vault dwellers would have died anyway if not for the
vaults.
就收集到的资料来说，这些实验也许能算是成功的─实验数据对Vault-Tec和英克雷科学
家来说比几百几千人的性命重要多了。也许他们觉得这是个互惠的交易，毕竟大部分避难
所居民没有避难所早就死了。
Although the vaults were supposedly designed with longevity in mind, many
vaults had insufficient resources and are in dire need of repair. It is
uncertain whether or not the Vault-Tec vaults were actually supposed to
malfunction as many did, or whether they were deliberately ill-constructed.
It seems that the company may have focused its resources primarily on the
experimental vaults, leaving the control vaults with inferior materials and
little chance of survival. This may be why there were recurring problems with
water chips. Or it may be that over time, certain pieces of technology simply
wore out and broke. In many cases, such as Vault 3, the community's fate is
decided by a single malfunction.
尽管避难所理论上应该要很长寿，但许多避难所不仅资源短少东西还常常坏掉。这有可能
是避难所里的东西就是这么烂，也有可能是Vault-Tec有意为之。这间公司似乎只把资源
投注在实验组避难所，却让控制组避难所使用劣等资源并使他们存活机率大为降低，这也
许能解释为何净水芯片老是会坏，当然也有可能仅仅是真的因为用太久而坏掉而已。有许
多案例，像三号避难所的命运，仅仅因为一个东西的故障就被决定了。
The only known vaults to continuously function successfully are Vault 101,
Vault 112 and Vault 81. Their vault experiments were intended to continue
indefinitely.
唯三成功存活下来的实验组避难所是101、112和81号避难所，这三个避难所的实验期原本
被设定为无限期。
In the year 2077, Vault-Tec opened up an exhibit in Nuka-World. One of the
purposes of the attraction was to draw in more vault customers, but visitors
and staff were subjected to radiation, subliminal messages, toxins, and
brainwave disruption as part of Vault-Tec's grand scheme.
在2077年，Vault-Tec在Nuka-World设了一个展览，目的之一是要吸引更多想买避难所的
人。但参观者和工作人员都被Vault-Tec的阴谋所害，受到辐射、幻听、中毒和脑波破坏
所害。

《RobCo Industries RobCo企业》
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/RobCo_Industries
RobCo Industries was one of the largest and most influential computer and
robotics corporations in the pre-War United States. The company’s name is
either an abbreviation of “Robot Company”, was named after its founder,
Robert House, the eventual master of New Vegas, or could potentially be a
combination of the two.
RobCo企业在战前美国是最大且最有影响力的电脑及机器人公司之一。该公司名字有可能
来自”Robot Company”（机器人公司）的缩写、来自其创始人及新维加斯真正主人．
Robert House、或者两者皆有。
Background 背景
Founded on June 25, 2042 by industrialist and inventor Robert House, RobCo
quickly soared through the ranks of the world’s most profitable and powerful
corporations, rivaling the likes of Poseidon Energy within several years. By
2077, RobCo’s patented software and robotics designs had become a
cornerstone of American industry, as exemplified by the widespread use of
RobCo’s Unified Operating System in most American computer systems in the
years leading up to the Great War.
RobCo在2042年6月25号由实业家及投资家的Robert House所建立，并很快跻身于全球最赚
钱以及最强大的公司之一，并与波赛顿能源互相竞争了好些年。到2077年大战爆发以前，
RobCo的专利软件和机器人技术已经是美国产业的基石，像是遍布美国电脑的RobCo统一作
业系统。
The company had numerous joint design and manufacturing ventures, including
developing the Pip-Boy for Vault-Tec and the Liberty Prime project with
General Atomics International and the U.S. Army. In 2075, RobCo purchased
REPCONN Aerospace, allowing the company to enter the aerospace industry.
该公司有大量的共同设计和制造的实验性物品，包括替Vault-Tec开发哔哔小子、和通用
原子国际以及美国军队共同进行的攻击自由钢弹。2075年，RobCo买下了REPCONN航空，踏
