《方舟生存进化》庞马绵羊等新物种图鉴翻译
近来有比较专业的玩家对《方舟生存进化》的新物种图鉴进行了翻译,有助于大家深入了解这些物种的背景,下面为大家都来Laughkaburra分享的《方舟生存进化》庞马绵羊等新物种图鉴翻译,一起来看看吧。
尝试翻译了最近物种图鉴并将图鉴内容进行了汉化。
庞马
Equus magnus appears to be an ancestor of the modern horse. Based on its stripes, it may be the African Variant of Equus giganteus, which appeared in North America during the Ice Age, but that is pure conjecture. Its behavior in the wild is similar to that of other wild members of the Equus genus - it sustains itself by grazing, while keeping safe from predators by living in herds and outrunning its attackers via superior speed and stamina.
庞马(Equus magnus)看上去是现代马科动物的祖先。基于它的条纹引发的猜测,我认为它有可能是庞马(E.giganteus,一种出现在北美洲冰川期的大型马科动物)的非洲变种,当然这纯粹只是猜测。庞马在野外的行为类似于其他的野生马科成员——可以自行放牧,在掠食动物的威胁之下既能保证兽群的安全,同时亦可以运用超快的速度和卓越的耐力逃离捕食者。
Domesticated Horse and man have long been partners in survival, and this remains true on the Island. In Equus, survivors will find a trusty steed or pack animal that can carry them swiftly across the land. In fact, Equus’ reliability has led some survivors to construct special saddles for them. I even encountered a man who added extra saddle-pouches that doubled as mobile crafting stations for chemical supplies, foodstuffs, and other items. Although not as robust as what you might find within a village, this utility helped him live a nomadic, solitary lifestyle.
长期以来马一直是人类生存伙伴,在岛上也不例外。驯服一匹庞马,幸存者们就得到了一匹能携带物品迅速穿越岛屿的战马与驮畜。事实上,庞马的可靠使得一些幸存者们为它们做了一个特殊的马鞍。我甚至还亲眼见过一个人为马鞍添加了额外的马鞍袋,这个袋兼备移动化学平台,食物储存箱或存放其他物品的功能。尽管不像你在村子里那样,但是这个工具确实帮助他渡过孤独的游牧生活。
Some survivors employ Equus to herd other creatures with extra-long whips, or wrangle using a specialized lasso! These tools are sometimes effective for self-defense as well, as Equus is limited in battle on its own… at least compared to aggressive prehistoric carnivores.
一些幸存者训练庞马,并且用超长的鞭子或一个套索放牧其它生物!因为庞马自身的战斗能力有限…至少不如一些好战的史前食肉动物,这些工具就成了很好的自卫武器。
图鉴原件和汉化:
关于图鉴中的动物名称问题,译者在翻译时,原本并不确定图鉴中是何物种。根据官方提供的学名"Equus megnus"进行拆解,其中Equus意思是马属,这个可以不管,Megnus在希腊语,拉丁语中的意思是大的,庞大的意思,属于形容词。而图鉴正文亦提到了该物种属于庞马Equus giganteus的"非洲变种",于是粗略的估计该物种是以庞马为原型的物种。
其关系类似于以恐狼(Canis dirus)为原型的游戏中的恐狼(Canis maxdirus,max意为极值,dirus意为恐怖,全称为终极恐惧),但是又不能擅自意译为终极恐狼使人不明所以,于是在确定称呼的时候仍然沿用该物种的原本称呼。
关于庞马资料不多,但是庞马是迄今为止发现过的最大的马科动物。
