Caesar's Legion 凯萨的军团
“My Legion obeys me, even unto death. Why? Because they live to serve the
greater good, and they know of no alternatives.”
— Caesar
“我的军团服从我,即便我命他们赴死。问我为什么?因为他们是为了侍奉更崇高的目标而生,而且他们知道他们别无他择。”
                — 凯萨
Caesar's Legion is an autocratic, traditionalist, imperialistic slaver
society, and a totalitarian dictatorship. Founded in 2247 by Edward Sallow
(also known as Caesar) and Joshua Graham, it is based on the ancient Roman
Empire. Its legionaries are a well organized, culturally insular fighting
force that mainly operate east of the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon, in
the former state of Arizona. Ever pushing west, their capital is the city of
Flagstaff.
凯萨的军团是个具独裁、传统主义、帝国主义色彩的奴隶社会,且为极权专政。2247年,由爱德华‧萨洛与约书亚‧葛拉汉姆建立。军团的士兵有着组织良好且带古罗马风格的作战方式,主要征战于过去被称为亚利桑那州的科罗拉多河及大峡谷地带,甚至开始推向西方。军团的首都位在佛拉格斯塔夫。
Caesar's Legion is comprised mostly of reconditioned tribes and their
descendants. The Legion's symbol is a golden bull on a red field, which is
derived from Julius Caesar's standard for the Tenth Twin Legion.
凯萨的军团包含着数个重建的部落及他们的后代。军团的象征是红色为底色的金公牛,源自于尤里乌斯‧凯萨所建立的第十合组军团的军旗。
背景介绍
In the year 2246, the Followers of the Apocalypse sent a group of nine
members to the Arizona wastelands to study the region’s tribal languages.
The group included Follower Edward Sallow, who met with the New Canaanite
missionary Joshua Graham, a specialist in tribal dialects. Not long into
their travels, the group was captured by the Blackfoot tribe and held for
ransom.
在2246年,天启追随者派遣一个九人组成的小队前往亚利桑那废土,研究当地部落的
语言。小队成员包含爱德华‧萨洛,与他一同的是新迦南的传教士约书亚‧葛拉汉姆,一
名部落方言的专家。然而他们的旅程未过多久便被黑足部落所俘虏以要求赎金。
At the time, the tribe warred against seven other tribes, and suffered from a
lack of skill in warfare. Against his companion’s wishes, Sallow aided the
Blackfoots to save him and his companions from their captor’s enemies,
giving them knowledge in gun maintenance, small unit tactics, explosive
improvisation, and military strategy. The tribals admired Sallow so much that
they made him their leader. With that, Sallow took the name Caesar, and began
reorganizing the tribals he commanded into the Legion.
就在当时,黑足部落正面临着与其他七个部落的战事中,但却缺乏作战的技术。萨洛在违
背同伴们的希望下,协助黑足部落对付他们的敌人以确保他与同伴们的安全。萨洛提供给
黑足部落关于枪械维护、小组作战、爆裂物制作以及军事等知识。黑足部落十分钦佩萨洛
,甚至使他成为了他们的领导者。这个时刻,萨洛使用了凯萨的名号,重新组织了整个部
落,号令他们成为了“军团”。
Caesar established warfare policies in the Legion based on the concepts of
divide and conquer and total war. The Legion defeated the region’s seven
tribes from weakest to strongest, and completely dominated each faction’s
land and people. The people conquered in campaigns were conscripted,
enslaved, or killed. Caesar saw the tribes “playing at war,” and tribals
viewed his tactics as foreign, as their warfare consisted of skirmishes that
never escalated into major conflicts.
凯萨构筑的军团作战方针建立在两种概念:各个击破与全面征战。军团由弱至强击败了
这七个部落,且完全地统治他们原先支配的领地及人民。在战事中被征服的人民若不是被
征召入伍或成为奴隶,就是被杀死。凯萨眼中的这些部落就像在“战争中游戏”,这些部
落从对于凯萨的战术感到陌生,他们对于战争的理解不过是个小小冲突,从未真正体验过
如此巨大的冲突征战。
With the combined leadership of Caesar and Graham, declared the "Malpais
Legate," the Legion led campaigns against more tribes, forming a fanatically
loyal army with their captives. Eighty-six tribes had been conquered by the
year 2271, and the territory Caesar led formed the most powerful society east
of the Colorado River. The Legion expanded west into the Mojave, and
established Fortification Hill on the Colorado River in 2277. The advancing
forces eventually made contact with the NCR near New Vegas, and began a
campaign to take the region.
结合凯萨以及被宣称为“荒地军团长”的葛拉汉姆的领导下,军团开启与数个部落的战事
,借由这些部落的俘虏组成了一支狂热忠诚军队。就在2271年,八十六个部落已被征
服,成为了东方科罗拉多河地带最为强大的社会组织。军团开始向西方推进,来到了莫哈
维,并于2277年建立于科罗拉多河之上的山丘要塞。这股推进的力量最终带着军团对
上新加州共和国,开启了争夺莫哈维的战役。
Under the command of the Malpais Legate, Legion forces marched against the
New California Republic garrison at Hoover Dam, in an attempt to take the
strategic asset and river crossing. In what became known as the First Battle
of Hoover Dam, the Malpais Legate initially had the upper hand. The Legate
was able to push the NCR defenders back and lead his forces over the dam.
Lead elements of the NCR, including members of the 1st Recon Battalion and
NCR Rangers, executed a tactical retreat west across the dam and into Boulder
City, all the while using their marksmanship prowess to kill the Legion
officers (primarily centurions and decanii). The Legate, unable to adapt his
strategies in combat or see the deception unfolding in front of him, chose to
order his legionaries to push the rangers, not knowing the NCR had
booby-trapped Boulder City, packing C4 along their line of retreat and within
the city itself, and drawing the Legion into a trap. When the Legion forces
entered the city, the NCR detonated the explosives and inflicted severe
casualties amongst them, crippling their offensive. The NCR forces then
counter-attacked, pushing back and eventually routing the Legion forces who
fled east back over the dam. Caesar, angered at the failure of his Legate,
made an example of him. The Praetorian guard covered the Legate in pitch, set
him on fire, and cast him into the depths of the Grand Canyon. Caesar forbade
mention of his name, and now he is spoken of only in hushed whispers by the
lowest Legionaries and slaves; they call him the Burned Man.
在荒地军团长的带领下,为了夺取战略要地以及跨越科罗拉多河,军团的行军对上了在胡佛大坝的新加州共和国驻军。
就在这场名为第一次胡佛大坝之战的战事中,荒地军团长起初占了上风。军团长将新加州共和国的守军击退,并带领着他的部队越过大坝。
由包含第一侦查军团以及NCR游骑兵的领导军力,执行了向西跨越至博尔德城的战术彻退,过程中运用精准地枪法射杀了数位军团士官。
军团长在无力改变作战策略以发觉前方的设局下,命令军团士兵强行进攻游骑兵。此刻,军团长并不知道他们已中了NCR埋在撤退路线与博尔德城本身下方的C4炸药陷阱。当军团势力进入城市,NCR随即引爆炸药,造成非常严重的伤亡数,瘫痪了军团的攻势。NCR部队接着进行反击作占,击退军团并将他们的势力推回大坝以东。凯萨对于军团长的失败感到愤怒,并打算以儆效尤。凯萨的禁卫军以沥青淋在军团长身上并将其点燃,将他推下大峡谷深处。凯萨将军团长的名字视作禁语,如今成为了下位士兵及奴隶们的低声耳语,他们称其为燃烧者。
By 2281, Caesar's Legion has re-established its power in the west, rebuilt
its army, and has slowly encroached on the city of New Vegas. They continue
to contest NCR over all of the region, destroying several NCR bases such as
Ranger Station Charlie and Camp Searchlight, overrunning the NCR town of
Nelson, and creating unease and terror across the region. Sometime before the
Second Battle of Hoover Dam, the Caesar's Legion has conquered a new tribe
under the command of centurion Gaius Magnus, bringing the number to
eighty-seven.
在2281年,凯萨的军团于西方重新振作,重建军队并缓慢地入侵新维加斯的城市。军
团持续与NCR争夺莫哈维,摧毁了数个NCR基地如游骑兵哨站:查理以及探照灯营地、占领
原属于NCR的尼尔森城,并且制造不安与恐惧于整个莫哈维地带。就在第二次胡佛大坝之
战前的某个时刻,凯萨的军团在百夫长盖乌斯‧马格努斯的领导下征服了新的部落,将军
团的部落数目提升至八十七个。

团能否成功制霸莫哈维地带,就看玩家们的选择了。

换取的利益。中文不是很好翻,类似的意思是牺牲小我完成大我这个成语里的"大我"第一段翻成服侍更强大的存在会误解成侍奉凯萨"个人"
楼主: DenUsLLeh (Denus)   2017-12-02 09:02:00
还是改成"个崇高的目标"?有点难抓住意思更*
作者: orcaZZC (C)   2017-12-02 09:10:00
恩,更贴切一点了。

这个阵营真的让我完全不想帮他们,比Mr. House还令人讨厌~搞Slave就算了,还性别歧视...把女人都当奴隶...
作者: Dannyx   2017-12-02 18:13:00
模仿罗马帝国的话还蛮相近的啦
作者: playerlin (PlayerLin)   2017-12-02 18:16:00
从名字到设定上到处都是罗马帝国的影子...
作者: stucode   2017-12-02 18:34:00
纯推。NV 还没破完不敢看。

BoS是大坑吧,多个支部设定也不同w...

一群崇古的基本教义中二,NV中我固定要搞他们
作者: o07608 (无良记者)   2017-12-02 21:27:00
我觉得凯撒和NCR是NV里设定最失败的两个地方一个看不出来好在哪,一个看不出来坏在哪
作者: playerlin (PlayerLin)   2017-12-02 22:19:00
NCR的坏,就是政治shit吧。 :P
作者: o07608 (无良记者)   2017-12-02 23:05:00
游戏中又不会接触到那些政客,真的没啥感觉......
作者: playerlin (PlayerLin)   2017-12-02 23:07:00
游戏中没有接触到但是应该还是能从NPC和结局文字看到些许,某些支线任务也有少许,不过确实很薄弱就是。是说某位被泼了全身沥青然后点火推下悬崖的人可以在DLC02 Honest Heart看到后续,虽然好像有人无法理解该DLC要讲的故事就是...
作者: o07608 (无良记者)   2017-12-02 23:26:00
Honest Heart要讲的故事不是The Father吗030话说你这发文时间是怎么回事......
作者: moon0987 (安提姆恩)   2017-12-03 00:13:00
作者: playerlin (PlayerLin)   2017-12-03 02:02:00
想太多,The Father只是旁支故事...主线故事是绷带人(?)的复仇记也不能说旁支故事,比较像是整个DLC的背景故事吧。其实我倒觉得该DLC是有点做坏了,以前BI成员的能力应该能做得更好,如其他三个DLC一样。
作者: o07608 (无良记者)   2017-12-03 06:27:00
所以Honest Heart才烂阿,绷带人有跟没有一样不然你以为为啥我会说这DLC在讲The Father......绷带人在DLC存在感最大的时候就是替枪换弹匣的时候,没了

翻译辛苦推,不过total war 可能翻"总体战"或"全面战争"比较精确一点

嗯,突然感觉HH根本是BGS的人做的吧~ (X主线存在感比支线差,很明显是BGS的FO才会有的事情啊ww
