从这篇开始,FO4的避难所会开始正式出现
今天这篇是我目前为止翻的最累的一篇,感觉比之前翻的那几篇都还卡还难懂
有可能是因为我没碰过FO4,所以完全不知道这避难所在干嘛的

Vault 75 75号避难所(Fallout 4)
https://fallout.gamepedia.com/Vault_75
Vault 75 is one of the Vaults constructed by the Vault-Tec Corporation. It is
located in Malden, Massachusetts, in the basement of Malden Middle School.
75号避难所位于麻州莫尔登、莫尔登中学的地下室。
Background 背景
Mission 任务
“
WASHINGTON DC - In response to growing national concern for the safety of our
children in the event of a nuclear attack, Vault-Tec officials have
cooperated with local government in Malden, Massachusetts to provide
subsidized enrollment fees for any families wishing to sign up for residency
in Vault 75. The newly-opened Vault is attached directly to Malden's
Elementary School, ensuring a swift evacuation should an attack come during
class time.
华盛顿DC─为了回应国民对于小孩面对核攻击的安全疑虑,Vault-Tec已经和麻州莫尔登
政府协调,以对那些想取得75号避难所居住权的家庭们资助注册费。75号避难所就位于莫
尔登中学旁边,这样能确保如果攻击在上课时间出现的话,学生们能立刻撤退到避难所内
”— Official press release 官方报纸
The authorized special discounts and subsidies for qualifying families were
only extended to families meeting the following requirements: One or more
enrolled family members are children under the age of 15, enrolled children
attend public school within the township of Malden, Mass. and it includes no
more than two adults per qualifying child. Although they permitted the
individual enrollment of children for families which couldn't afford to also
enroll a parent or guardian. Of course this was just all a front for another
grand, unethical experiment.
能拿到官方补贴的家庭必须符合以下条件:家庭成员至少要有一个15岁以下的儿童、小孩
要在莫尔登的公立学校就读、大人小孩比不得超过2:1。官方对那些小孩取得补贴但大人
无力负担自己的费用的家庭也允许一名家长或保母获得补贴,但这一切当然又是避难所不
人道实验的一部分。
In reality, the Vault was commissioned by the United States military to
experiment on children to breed battle-ready super-soldiers who would obey
orders without a second thought. Built as a long term sealed environment, it
was envisioned as a laboratory focusing on human genome improvement through a
combination of selective breeding, hormonal treatments, genetic modification,
and an accelerated generational cycle, under the command of an Overseer with
a military background. Researchers and science staff were isolated from test
subjects (88 dwellers in total), who were disposed of at 18 years of age
unless used to replenish research staff or for breeding the next generation
of Vault-dwellers.
事实上,美国军方要用这个避难所来把小孩培养成随时能上战场、且对命令完全服从的超
级士兵。他们打算把长期密封的避难所当成人类基因进化的实验室,在有军方背景的监督
命令之下,进行一系列血统挑选、激素疗法、基因调整和基因循环加速的实验。研究者和
科学家的居住地点会和88名测试目标分开孤立18年,除非他们需要补充研究人员或要扶养
下一代的避难所居民。
Operations 行动
Upon activation of the Vault on October 23, 2077, the future Vault dwellers
were admitted to the Vault and underwent standard admission protocols:
Verification, decontamination, and other necessary measures to ensure their
general health. Per experimental guidelines, children under the age of 17
were taken to the atrium to meet the Overseer and undergo orientation,
including introduction to caretaker robots and sleeping facilities. Other
residents were taken to the holding area and executed by the security staff.
The same fate awaited those children who refused to be separated from the
parents and remained in the bulkhead area.
在2077年10月23号,避难所居民终于能进去了,并经历一系列的标准程序:确认身分、消
毒、和其他做身体健康的程序。作为实验前置,17岁以下的小孩被带到中庭和监督见面并
听他介绍像是管理机器人和睡眠设施之类的东西,家长则被带到等候区并被保安人员杀光
,那些不愿和家长分开而在隔壁等候的小孩也被杀死。
The project began a week after the Great War. With the parents and young
adults culled, the Vault started with a sizable pool of residents and a
capable, if morally bankrupt Vault-Tec staff. The two groups were intended to
stay isolated from one another, particularly from physical contact, with one
exception: The Overseer was required to participate directly in routine
storytimes each evening to establish themselves as a paternal figure to the
children and help them cope with distress in the early days of internment (in
addition to the standard Vault-Tec Childcare consolation protocols). In order
to achieve the mission outlined by the Army and Vault-Tec, the Overseer
followed six directives:
实验计画在大战开始后一个礼拜启动,在家长等人被杀光后,避难所剩下一大群小孩和一
小群能干但道德破产的Vault-Tec人员。这两群人在各种方面上都是互相孤立的,除了一
个例外:监督必须在每晚的故事时间和小孩一起参与,以使自己在小孩中建立起父亲的形
象,并帮他们面对前面失去家人的苦痛(这是根据标准Vault-Tec小孩照护程序)。为了
达成军方和Vault-Tec给他的任务,监督遵守六个原则:
1. Residents aged 18 and older must be removed from the general population
annually.
每年都会把18岁以上的成员排除在一般居住者之外
2. Residents who have exhibited genetic promise are to be preserved for
genome harvesting and reintegration.
拥有高度基因潜力的居民的基因会被采集,,并让基因透过胚胎回到社会
3. Residents of average genetic promise but high intelligence and docility
may be recruited to the Research staff at Overseer discretion.
基因潜力一般但高智商且高顺从性的居民,监督能酌情考虑使其加入研究团队
4. All other Residents to be removed must be culled.
该杀的就杀掉
5. Research staff is responsible for cultivating embryo replacements to
maintain consitent resident population numbers.
研究团队必须要培养替代用的胎儿以维持居民人口
6. Vault 75 is to remain sealed until an all-clear order is issued by
Vault-Tec.
75号避难所在收到由Vault-Tec发出的“一切已安全”的信号之前都保持密封
In order to determine genetic promise, residents were subjected to an intense
training regimen and carefully balanced diet in order to develop their
physical traits and combat skills. Their aptitude was carefully determined
using a battery of tests, including strenuous exercises, schooling in the art
of war, and simulated combat in a specially constructed gun range. In order
to maintain control over the test subjects, they were indoctrinated with
fairy tales placing them as heroes-to-be, intended to save the surface world
(Uptopland) and make it a happy and safe place for all. As can be seen in the
directives, the reality was far cry from this ideal picture.
为了判断基因潜力,居民每天都有紧密的训练以及仔细均衡的饮食,以锻炼他们的身体和
格斗技巧。研究人员用一系列的测验来仔细评断他们是否合格,包括体能测验、战争学、
和用特殊枪械进行的模拟战斗。为了控制受试者,他们不断被灌输讲述英雄事蹟的童话,
坚信自己要保护地表世界并替所有人创造快乐又安全的生活环境。不过事实当然相差甚远
To begin with, testing would only cease in the effect of cardiac arrest or
death. Residents over the age of 18 would be removed from the population by
means of a "graduation" ritual, presented by the staff as a ceremonial rite
of passage, sending them topside to aid the surface in reestablishing
civilization. Outgoing subjects were removed one by one from the main living
area and taken to the secure staff area, where their fate was determined by
their rating. Ratings were an aggregate encompassing physical, intellectual
and social prowess. Those with an Excellent or Superior score would be taken
to the genomics lab for harvesting, euthanized by a fake vaccination. Their
genetic material would be used in a new generation of test subjects, created
by in vitro fertilization. Subjects with an Excellent or Superior rating in
intelligence and high docility would be selected to replenish the ranks of
the staff. Everyone else would be killed.
测试开始后,除非遇到心脏病发或死亡事件否则不会停止。超过18岁的居民会透过“毕业
”仪式从群众之中被带走,仪式中监督会告诉他们要准备出去地表以帮助重建文明。这些
人会一个接一个被带进保安区,并根据他们的评等决定他们的命运。评等是根据他们的体
能、智力和社会性而决定,被评为卓越或优良的人会被带去基因实验室采集基因,并以疫
苗接种的名义安乐死,他们的基因会以体外胚胎培育的方法用来创造新一代的受试者。而
在智力和服从性方面被判定为卓越或优秀的人会被挑选以补充研究团队,其他人则会被杀
The replenishment of the science staff by relying on the resident pool was
anticipated by the designers. Candidates meeting the criteria were selected
at the discretion of the Overseer and the Chief Scientist. Those who did not
agree were disposed along with inferior graduates. Those who did were
separated from the general population in junior research positions, such as
Observation deck or transcription duties, for a period of at least 15 years
to prevent test subjects from recognizing them. They would undergo strict
training in a variety of science disciplines, with many quickly developing a
sense of maturity separating them from their peers. Of course, for security
reasons, they were not informed of the precise nature of the experiments
taking place in the Vault, with most still believing they were creating
warriors to help protect the surface.
这个实验的设计者当初已经预料到研究团队会需要靠居民来补充,因此达到标准的候选人
还要由监督和首席科学家决定是否让他加入。有意见的人会被杀,没意见的会离开原本的
居民,被分派到初阶研究职位,像是观测职或是实验副本记录职。他们会在这些职位坐上
至少15年,以避免这些人自己又重新搞集会结社。他们会受到严格的科学纪律训练,让他
们尽早成熟并使他们跟同侪分开。当然为了安全,他们不会被告知避难所实验的真面目,
他们大多数仍然相信他们在创造保卫地表的战士。
Collapse 崩溃
The experiment continued for years, with new generations of soldiers being
bred, tested, and harvested or disposed of. The children continued to believe
they were being trained to become heroes, saving the people of the surface
from monsters and bandits. They ran the combat simulation, learning firearms,
shooting holographic targets, like lab rats in a giant maze. The scientists
were slowly engineering their own demise. The last genetic harvest under
Chief Scientist Gibson brought in exceptional genetic material. "Only" 74% of
graduating test subjects were disqualified as inferior, with the remainder
harvested and one recruited for the scientific staff. Many of vital organ
initiatives paying dividends, meeting goals thought a decade off. The
children were strong, fast, resistant to pain, with increasing resistance to
cardiac arrest under duress, with the only problem highlighted by Gibson
being aggression levels; The latest group of graduates suffered from a high
incidence of psychological breakdown. The proposed solution included
including stronger tranquilizers in the food supply, but it would be a cause
of too little, too late.
实验进行了好些年,新世代的士兵被养育、被测验、被采集或被处置。孩子们仍然相信他
们训练是为了成为保护地表人们免于被怪兽和土匪侵犯的英雄。他们模拟战斗、学习使用
武器、射击全息目标、就像是在巨大迷宫里的白老鼠。科学家们自己也在缓缓的世代交替
,最后一次基因采集由首席科学家Gibson执行,而这次结果特别好,“只有”74%的受试
者无法毕业,其他人的基因都得到采集,还招募了一个新人进科学团队。很多重要器官的
发展都达到了十年前所设下的目标,小孩们变得更强壮、跑的更快、很能忍受痛苦、在胁
迫压力下引发心脏骤停的机率也变小了。唯一让Gibson担心的问题,是这批毕业生很容易
心理崩溃。他建议在食物里面加入更强的镇定剂,但这方法不仅作用太小,也太晚了。
Washington was the only science staff recruit from the graduation class,
selected due to his good problem-solving and critical thinking skills, as
well as his high susceptibility to suggestion. Although the Overseer viewed
his attachment to the younger population as a problem, Gibson dismissed these
concerns, assigning him to the observation deck and planning to keep him in
the dark until he was ready to be accepted as a full researcher. For the time
being, he would oversee aerobic tests and handle manual labor, like
incinerating the remains of the inferior graduates. He did not notice the
nature of the incinerated material. This negligence would also result in him
failing to report the scheming of two of his fellow peers: James S. and Rohit
L.
该届毕业生中唯一被招募进研究团队的人叫做华盛顿,被选中的原因是因为他有良好的解
决问题和批判性思考能力,以及对于暗示的高敏感性。尽管监督认为他对年轻居民太过亲
近是个问题,但Gibson没有理会,让他做观测职并打算在他准备好成为全职研究者之前都
不要露面。随着时间过去,他开始监看有氧训练和处理例行事务,像是焚烧无法毕业的人
的尸体。他没没注意到那些尸体跟他一样是毕业生,也无法预见他两个前同侪的计谋:
Jame S.和Rohit L.。
The two lab assistants were part of the test subject population, in charge of
the gun range. Working on the range aroused their suspicions about the two
started to prepare an insurrection. Washington's negligence allowed them to
mess with the combat trial system allowed them to continue unhindered, slowly
stockpiling ammunition from the range to create improvised explosives.
Rohit's plan was to dispose of the Overseer and any helpers they might have.
The discovery of laboratory notes lost by Supervisor Bissell only spurred
them to intensify work on breaking out of the Vault. After recruiting the
rest of the residents, they were almost ready for the attack, even if they
had to face Superiors or robots on the way. Once they ensured the youngest
kids were out of harm's way, coordinating with Alma L. to keep them occupied
during the attack, they breached the secure door leading into the restricted
section. The scientists could not fight back, with many killed at their work
stations. The children were free, however, their fates are unknown.
这两人是实验室助手,同时也是受试者,负责靶场事务。他们在靶场工作时对整件事起
了怀疑,并开始准备发动一场起义。华盛顿的疏忽使他们能混淆战斗试验系统,旁若无人
的慢慢从靶场偷弹药回来以制作临时的爆裂物。Rohit的计画是要干掉监督和所有可能的
协力者,而找到监工Bissel遗失的实验室笔记后更使他们决心要破坏这个避难所。在招募
了剩下的居民后,就算要面对大人或机器人,他们也准备要发动攻击了。他们让Alma L.
确保最小的孩子们的安全后,便突破安全门冲进以往居民进不去的地方。科学家们毫无抵
抗之力,几乎都在自己的岗位上被杀。小孩们自由了,但他们往后的命运不为人所知。
Gunners 枪手
The fate of the Vault itself is, however. With the Gunners expanding their
operations throughout the Commonwealth, Vault 75 became an obvious choice for
a strongpoint once they located it. Renovating the systems and clearing much
of the debris that remained in place, the garrison began to convert it into a
proper military bunker. In 2287, they are in the process of clearing out the
children's toys and other remnants of the experiment, while bringing in
weapons and Gunner equipment to fortify the Vault.
75号避难所本身的命运倒是为人所知。当枪手在联邦区拓展他们的势力时,一发现75号避
难所就立刻选上它。在修复里面的系统和清除残骸后,枪手就开始把避难所转化为军事堡
垒。2287年时,他们正在清理小孩们的玩具和其他实验的残余,并把武器和设备带进来强
化避难所。
=======================================
光看the vault wiki的叙述的话,这个避难所实验也太多可以吐嘈的地方了
首先,现行监督挂了怎么办?监督跟研究人员不一样,会在小孩面前现身的
要是他哪天因为意外死了,那研究员大爷们要怎么生出一个不会让人起疑的监督过去?
然后,我不知道华盛顿来干嘛的,有必要特别提起他吗?
Jame S.和Rohit L.偷弹药做爆裂物搞起义啥的,好像跟他完全没关系吧
前面说华盛顿对同侪很亲近的梗也没用到,我还以为反叛会是他主导的咧
还有最后一届毕业生很容易精神崩溃的梗好像也没用到吧
起义的发生原因又不是因为小孩集体精神崩溃,是因为有白痴乱丢笔记被找到
到底是怎样?
当然也有可能是我英文太差,有地方有所误解
也有可能是这篇讲的还不够仔细
请大家指正我的翻译内容,感谢
