Vault 81 81号避难所(Fallout 4)
https://fallout.gamepedia.com/Vault_81
Vault 81 is one of the Vaults constructed by the Vault-Tec Corporation in the
Commonwealth. It is located south of Oberland Station and slightly north-west
of Chestnut Hillock Reservoir. It requires either completion of Vault 81 or a
high enough persuasion level to persuade security to let you in.
81号避难所位于联邦区、Oberland Station南方、Chestnut Hillock Reservoir的稍微西
北边。要进去必须完成相关任务或者靠口才嘴保安任你进去。
Background 背景
Although Vault 81 appears to be a control vault at first, it was originally
dedicated to researching diseases and antibodies, with emphasis on potential
mutations in heavy radiation. The Vault's 96 residents were isolated from the
sealed scientific section of the Vault and used as guinea pigs in clinical
trials of the science staff. Clinical trials were a vital part of Vault 81's
mission, performed in three stages: Stage I in petri dish cultures, Stage II
trials are on the colony of heterocephalus glaber specimens (mole rats), and
Stage III trials on the residential population of Vault 81. The
hermetically-sealed research area isolated the scientists, to reduce the
chance of cross-contamination between residential and scientific staff
populations. The Overseer was the only inhabitant of the residential section
able to communicate with the researchers, but residents were kept in the dark
otherwise.
尽管81号避难所看起来像是控制组避难所,但这避难所原本是要用来研究疾病和抗体,且
着重于高剂量辐射引起的潜在突变。避难所的96名居民住的地方和科学研究区是隔开的,
不仅不知道该区的存在,还被里面的科学家当临床实验的白老鼠。临床实验在81号避难所
实验是很重要的一部分,分三个阶段:第一阶段是用培养皿里的生物、第二阶段是利用裸
鼹鼠、第三阶段是用81号避难所的居民。研究区是密封且孤立的,以避免居民和科学家之
间出现交叉污染。位于居民区的监督是唯一能联络科学家的人,但其他人都被蒙在鼓里。
To maintain secrecy, the Vault-Tec Operations Handbook mandated that staff
members of Vault 81 participate in mandatory drills, held on-site at the
discretion of the Overseer and Vault-Tec Administration. Admission drills
were a requirement on all Beta Alert days, as indicated by the Vault-Tec
early warning system. In the event of an actual Alpha Alert, Vault 81
residents were admitted into the Vault by Overseer's staff. All scientific
staff would report to their workstations immediately, avoiding contact with
general population, especially those whom they may know personally. Following
the sealing of the research station, the experiment would begin. Vault 81 was
not to be evacuated under any circumstances except a direct all-clear command
from Vault-Tec central HQ. Research reports would be archived on the primary
mainframe, with physical evidence destroyed by the Overseer and only after
Stage III was completed. The residential population was considered physical
evidence and would be subject to summary execution via incineration at the
Overseer's discretion, unless mandated otherwise by Vault-Tec.
为了保持隐密,Vault-Tec程序手册要求81号避难所的所有人都要参加由监督和Vault-Tec
行政人员主办的强制演习。平常他们就要在由Vault-Tec早期预警系统发布Beta警报时进
行进入避难所的演习,而当真正的Alpha警报发布时,81号避难所的一般居民由监督手下
指挥进去避难所,而科学人员则要立刻跟他们负责的工作岗位回报,并禁止与一般民众联
络,特别是跟自己认识的人。一旦科学人员抵达密封的研究站后,实验就开始了。除非从
Vault-Tec中央本部收到“一切已安全”讯号,否则81号避难所在任何情况下都不会撤离
所有人。在第三阶段实验完成后,所有研究结果会存在一台主机中,而监督会摧毁一切物
理证据。一般居民也被视为物理证据,除非Vault-Tec有别的命令,否则也会在第三阶段
完成后,在监督的监督之下在监督的监督之下即刻焚化处决。
Of course, that was the theory. In practice, the experiment was derailed the
moment Vault-Tec accepted the candidacy of Dr. Olivette as Overseer. With a
moral backbone and a strong sense of right and wrong, Olivette was aware that
the program may include human trials and swore that should they breach
ethics, he'd blow the whistle. He participated in drills just like everybody
else, shocked to realize that half the science teams were medical students,
cramming for finals. The pay certainly kept them happy and ensured compliance
in the experiment, should it take place. But the perspective of being rich
did not obscure the reality of the experiment to Olivette. When presented
with the program of clinical trials as part of his Overseer briefing, he
realized that he can't blow the whistle - Vault-Tec was embedded in the
military-industrial complex too deep. Coupled with the good people slated for
inclusion in Vault 81, he felt trapped.
然这只是纸上谈兵,事实上整个实验在Vault-Tec选出Olivette博士当监督时就炸掉了。
Olivette本身道德感很强,对是非辨明也很要求。他知道这个计画可能会牵涉到人命,并
发誓如果这些科学家摧毁道德界线,那他就会终止整个实验。他像其他人一样照常参加演
习,并震惊的发现半数的科学家都是还没毕业的医学生。他们收到的报酬让他们很乐意确
保实验会完成,前提是这个实验真的会启动。但对Olivette来说,丰厚的报酬并没有藏住
实验的真相。当临床实验程序出现在监督简报中的时候,Olivette知道这已经不是他能喊
停的了─Vault-Tec和军工复合体的牵扯太深了。再加上那些预计会进入81号避难所的一
般民众,他觉得陷入困境了。
Olivette did what they could to destroy the experiment: They cleared the
phone list for the science staff, ensuring that none of them would be
notified about future drills. When the October 23, 2077 drill began, the beta
alert was soon upgraded to alpha and the Great War came. Due to the
Overseer's sabotage, none of the science staff received a notification about
the drill. Or not: Despite their efforts, three researchers showed up:
Kenneth Collins and Jim Flint reached the Vault from the Fens with the
general population, while the overachiever M. Burrow was already on site.
They reported to the research area and were sealed inside. This meant that
the danger to the residential population still existed.
Olivette尽一切可能摧毁这个实验:他删除了科学家的通讯录,确保没人会收到之后的演
习警报。当2077年10月23号,大战爆发时,beta警报升级成alpha警报。而因为监督之前
的破坏行动,使的没半个科学家收到演习通知─除了三个人。跟一般民众一起从芬威─肯
莫尔前来的Kenneth Collins和Jim Flint,以及早就在避难所研究区里的优等生M.Burrow
。他们在研究区报到后就把自己密封在里面,这代表一般居民的危险仍然存在。
Although there were only three of them, ensuring that the generations-long
research plan would die out, they had state of the art equipment, centuries'
worth of supplies, and the Contagions Vulnerability Robotic Infirmary
Engineer, meaning that with even their limited manpower, they could still be
a threat until they died.
尽管他们只有三个人,不可能执行长达几世代的研究,但他们有最先进的设备、足够几百
年的补给、和CVRIE(传染性弱点机械医务工程师)(译注:求官方翻译),代表尽管他
们人力有限,但直到死前都是个威胁。
To compensate for their limited manpower, Collins upgraded and modified
Curie, from a customized Mr Handy, into a fully fledged lab assistant. He
provided her with a custom personality, loading the databanks with every
great body of work he had to make her more life-like, more... Human. And so,
CVRIE became Curie. With her help, the work picked up the pace and quite
soon, the Phase I trials began. When notified of it, Olivette was mortified
and played for time, while maintaining an aura of camaraderie, taking care to
not reveal his intentions. While the mood among the three researchers
remained stable thanks to Collins and Curie, they still had access to the
nozzles and could release the pathogens for a Stage III trial - or worse.
When a minor mishap with the mole rat population was resolved and stage II
was progressing rapidly, Olivette made the decision.
为了弥补人力的不足,Collins升级并调整CVRIE,把这台机器人从客制化的小帮手变成有
完整功能的实验室助手。他让她拥有人工人性,把所有跟人有关的资料都加载她的身体中
,使她变得更像…人。由此,CVRIE变成了Curie,在她的帮助下,实验工作很快就上轨道
并顺利进入第一阶段。Olivette得知此事后便小心隐藏自己的意图,保持友好的外表并开
始拖延战术尽管因为Collins与Curie的缘故,三位研究者保持着稳定的心情,他们仍然能
操作喷嘴,对避难所释出病原进行第三阶段的活体实验,或是做出更糟的行为。当研究者
解决了鼹鼠族群的一个小问题、第二阶段实验也获得突破性进展时,Olivette做了抉择。
The Overseer sabotaged the delivery nozzles inside every residential quarter
and room on their side of the Vault. Then, when the researchers began to
notice, they disconnected the only terminal that could communicate with the
science team and dumped it in the reactor chamber, near the sealed backup
entrance into the science section. Sealed in the research wing, the
scientists grimly continued their work, never to see the light of day again.
Curie would become their inheritor, watching as they fell one-by-one. Flint
was killed when a mole rat named Clyde escaped his cage. Then Collins and
finally Burrow, both dying of old age. She interred them and continued the
work. Finally, in 2204, Curie finally finished the broad-spectrum cure that
would be capable of curing every pathogen developed and analyzed in the
captive mole rats.
监督破坏了避难所内居民区每个地方的喷嘴,而当科学家开始注意到时,他离线了唯一能
与科学家团队联络的终端机,并把这台终端机扔到密封的备用科学区入口附近的反应炉里
。就算被关在研究区中,这些科学家仍然冷峻的继续他们的研究,再也见不到外面的太阳
。Curie看着他们一个一个倒下,最后成为了他们的继承人。Flint被一只从笼子里逃脱,
名为Clyde的裸鼹鼠所杀,Collins和Burrow先后老死。Curie埋葬了他们并继续他们的工
作,最后在2204年,她终于完成用途广泛的治疗法,能治疗每种当时在裸鼹鼠中培养并解
析出来的病原。
The Vault itself continued to operate for the next two centuries, ignorant of
the dangers they narrowly avoided. The Vault, never designed for this kind of
extended habitation and with the rotting, deteriorating secret partition
right behind the wall, it aged badly. To compensate, the Overseer decided to
unseal the Vault in 2277 and reestablish contact with the outside. Soon,
trading relations established, exchanging the Vault's technology, skills, and
synthesized medicine for additional food and resources to continue
maintaining the Vault. Even as some dwellers continue to complain about the
fact, most are well aware that without them, the Vault would collapse, if not
from starvation, then quite literally.
避难所本身平安无事的运作了两个世纪,完全不知道他们曾差点就陷入危机之中。这间避
难所设计时根本没考虑到人口会增长,加上隔壁被密封的祕密场所不断的腐败恶化,使的
避难所环境随着年纪增长而越来越糟糕。为了解决这个问题,时任监督决定在2277年打开
避难所,跟外界重新联系。他们很快就跟外界开始贸易,用避难所的科技、技术和各种设
备交换食物和资源以维持避难所生活所需。尽管有些居民对这种情况不太高兴,但大部分
的人担心没有这些贸易会让避难所崩毁。不是因为饥饿,就是因为字面意义上的崩毁。
It bought them time, but the Vault's systems continue to deteriorate and the
most polite way to describe its state in 2287 is to say that it's a wreck.
More importantly, the ugly secret of Vault 81 is about to rear its head - and
in its most biting form... Thankfully, the reactor is still solid and
continues to work - so while the Vault crumbles, everyone will be able to see
at least.
贸易让他们能继续存活,但避难所的设备系统仍继续崩坏,避难所在2287年的情况,说的
礼貌点,就是个废墟。最重要的是,81号避难所肮脏的祕密就快要暴露─以最令人刻骨铭
心的方式…幸好反应炉仍能稳稳的运作─至少大家都能亲眼目睹避难所的崩溃。
=======================================
几个翻译时遇到的点:
1.最后一段说FO4时的81号避难所情况,说好听一点是个"wreck"
但我问过我的FO脑粉朋友,他说81号避难所居民区很干净漂亮,不知道为何wiki这样写
2.最后一段中的"... - and in its most biting form..."这段话有双关意义
以我的翻译水平,翻成“以最尖锐的方式”已经是我的极限了Q_Q
最后在翻完,然后又跟朋友问完相关问题之后,我对81号避难所只有一个问题:
我能选女角,带Curie去找Railroad变成合成人,然后两个人搞百合吗OwO
请大家指正我的翻译内容,感谢
