Service Record服役记录

 

Dreadnoughts are called upon only when the fighting is likely tobe close and bloody. They excel at fighting in built up areas,at close quarters such as in underground tunnels and in boarding actions where chey can quickly close to the emeny,making best use of their assaule weaponry and close combat power.

当遇到惨烈血腥的近战时，无畏就会出场。他们在巷战中有卓越的表现，在下水管道和接舷战那样的近战中他们会迅速靠近敌人，将自己配备的进攻性武器和肉搏力量发挥到最佳。

 

On a battlefield a Dreadnought has little to fear.In close combat few foes can match them,and only the heaviest emeny weapons represent a threat to Dreadnoughts' thick frontal armour. Dreadnoughts are incredibly resilient and difficult to destroy. Only a direct hit that penetrates the pilot's heavily armoured sarcophagus will 'kill' a Dreadnought. They continue to function even though are torn off,armour buckled etc.Along with the sarcophagus,the legs have the thickest armour,as thet are a Vulnerable location on any walker. Whilst the loss of a leg will not destroy a Dreadnought.It will immobilise it,or worse still,topple it over.

在战场上无畏显得无所畏惧。在近战中没有人是他们的对手（玩过游戏后忍不住问：赎罪也不算？），并且只有敌人最厉害的重武器才能威胁到无畏厚重的前装甲。无畏拥有令人难以置信的适应性且难以摧毁。只有直接击中并穿透盛放支配者（死了还是不翻译成驾驶员好了）遗体的重装甲铁棺才能摧毁一台无畏。他们即使被扯掉机械臂，或者遇上装甲变形等等（故障）也会继续履行自己的职责（正如游戏版里的那句台词：老子死了也要干！）。如同铁棺，无畏的双腿也被覆着最厚重的装甲，因为这是步行装置上最脆弱的部分。一个无畏虽然失去了一条腿，但是也不会摧毁。他会试图（把断腿）固定，即使再糟也只不过是倒下。

 

Spaces Marines will fight remorselessly to recovery a damaged or destroyed Dreadnought from the battlefield. Retireving a fallen Dreadnought is vital for two reasons: Firstly,so that the hero within can be laid in the Chapter's sepulchres with other honoured brothers,and secondly,so that the hull can be retored,and await the next hero to be interred. The loss of a single Dreadnought is a grievous blow to a Chapter's fighting strength,and its passing will be mourened throughout the Chapter.

在战场上，星际陆战队员会奋不顾身地为修复一台受损或者保护被毁的无畏而战斗。拯救一台被毁的无畏非常重要的两个原因是：首先，里面的英雄可以和其他阵亡的弟兄们被光荣地合葬在战团的墓地里，其次，无畏的机体会被修复，等待这下一个英雄被放进去。失去一台无畏会对一个战团的战斗力造成严重的打击，他的既往将被整个战团的成员怀念。

 

Dreadnought are utilised by all Space Marine Chapters,even the elite,daemon-hunting Grey Knights have their own heroes enshrined in Dreadnought armour. Like their living battle brothers,these Dreadnoughts have access to the Grey Knights specialised armoury of psycannon bolts,hulls engraven with protective runes and sigils and the blessings of Ordo Malleus Inquisitors.

所有的星际陆战队战团都在使用无畏，甚至恶魔审判庭的精英—灰骑士也将他们的英雄供奉在无畏里。如同他们活着并战斗着的弟兄，这些（灰骑士）无畏有使用灰骑士的特制铠甲和灵能爆矢弹的能力，铁棺上带有防御用的符文和印章，还有恶魔审判庭（Ordo Malleus，终于找到正解了）庭长的祝福。

 

When not in action, Dreadnoughts are kept sealed inside stasis vaults,deep in the crypts of a Chapter's fortress-monastery.The stasis vaults preserve them from the ravages of time,extending them already long live even further.Each stasis is a holy shrine, only opened on sacred occasions for Techmarines to enter and tend to slumbering machines with sacred oils and holy unguents,and to read the Litanies of Preservation over them, but during the ceremony the machines are not awoken their sleep. It is part of the honour of becoming a Dreadnought that the warrior is allowed to the rest between battles. It's deemed that these veterans have already given everything in the service of the Emperor, and they are no longer required to follow athe strict daily regime of the Chapter's other battle brothers.These veterans are only woken in times of great need or for missions in which their knowledge and advice is needed. 

当没有参与作战行动时，无畏安眠在战团修道院堡垒深深的地下沉睡掩体里。 沉睡掩体使他们免于受到时间的侵蚀，使他们本来就很长的生命得以延长（难怪叫铁乌龟）。每一个沉睡掩体都是一个圣地，只有在神圣的纪念日才会开放，以供技术军士（Techmarines）进入，用神圣的机油和润滑油维护这些沉睡的机器，并且还要对着他们读《Litanies of Preservation》，但是在仪式过程中这些机器不会被唤醒。这是战团里的其他战士，对那些沉睡在无畏铁棺里的队友的一种纪念方式。他们认为这些老兵已经为帝皇献出了一切，他们再也不用和其他人一样严格遵守战团的生活制度。这些老兵只有在任务急需他们的知识和建议时才会被唤醒。

U团的Mk V无畏“艾吉斯（Agies）”，位于第二连，装备了双联装激光炮和导弹发射器（游戏里将其称为地狱火无畏），也刻着神圣的徽章、净化纹章。他献身于作为此连连长的第38个千年。

暗黑圣堂的Mk V无畏“莱因哈特（Reinhart）”，隶属于五连，装备了双联装爆弹枪和一个动力爪，镌刻着他作为战团里“高大的马歇尔”时的座右铭：“珍惜荣誉，遵守命令。”

 

无畏机甲是直到第41个千年仍在服役的一些古老的战争机器。一些神圣无畏，甚至可以追溯到大圣战时期的第10个千年。作为强大的战争武器，无畏属于战团最宝贵的古老圣物，如同战团中的“长者”，他们与战团的过去有直接联系，是战团的遗产。

 

History历史

 

Nothing is known of the origins of the dreadnought, the secrets of their construction are all but lost. Where they came from? How they came into being? Who first used them? The answers to all these questions remain a mystery to the Adeptus Mechanicus.Secrets and arcane knowledge is used to keep those Dreadnoughts that do exist functioning, but very few "new" Dreadnoughts are  constructed today, and only by the few skilled specialists who have preserved the required  knowledge.

 

没有人知道无畏的起源，记载他们的建造方式的资料已经全部丢失了。他们从何而来？他们如何变成现在这个样子？谁最先使用他们？这些问题的谜底对于机械教（Adeptus Mechanicus）来说也是个谜。用来保持这些无畏运作的秘密和神秘的知识确实存在，但今天只有极少数的“新”无畏正在被建造，只有少数几个技术专家拥有所需的知识。

 

Over the course of then thousand years there have been many different marks and patterns of  Dreadnoughts. There in no definitive list or study into these marks, and much conjecture about  which came first, which are orgionails,and where or when such patterns came from. Because Dreadnoughts are hidden away in the depths of Space Marines Chapter Fortress-monasteries, it’s impossible to know what other marks and patterns still exist, or what ancient machines may still slumber,to one day be reawaken to fight again.

 

在过去一千年里有无数型号和样式的无畏。没有这些型号明确的清单或研究，对他们中谁最先出现，谁是起源，或者每个样式的出现时间和发源地，人们充满了猜测。因为无畏总是被藏在星际陆战队的堡垒修道院深处，这使得了解他们的型号和样式成为不可能，或者有哪些古老的机器在沉睡，也许有一天他们会被唤醒重新披挂上阵。

 

The "Mark IV"is one such variant,althought many believe it contains some in-bulit flaw, leaving it prone to daemonic possession. Mark IV's saw service during the Horus Heresy, but many became corrupted and now fight alongside the Traitor Legions. Those that still served with loyal Chapters are invariably well protected with purity seals and daemonic wards.

 

“Mark IV”型无畏就是这样的一个变种，但许多人认为它包含了一些在内建的（in-bulit？）漏洞，使之易受异端支配。在何路斯大叛乱期间MK IV型被发现在其中，许多已经堕落并与叛军并肩作战。那些在忠于帝皇的战团里服役的无畏被净化印章和退魔符文小心保护着。

 

The 'Furioso' patterns is used exclusively by the Blood Angels and their Successor Chapters, a close combat variant armed with two power fists,it was originally conceived by the Blood Angels Masters of the Forges sometime in M.35.Likewise,the rare "Mortis" pattern is occasionally 
deployed by secretive "Unforgiven" Chapters; its origins, or why only this group of Chapters possess this pattern is another mystery.

 

狂怒者型无畏是被血天使战团和他们后继者所独特拥有的型号，是一种挥舞两个动力拳套从事近战的变形机，血天使战团的战团长于第35个千年构思了这种机型。同样，罕见的“亡者”型偶然会被“不可饶恕”战团秘密投放（到行动中）。他的起源，以及为什么只有这个战团发展这一型号还是个谜。

（左面图下写着：罕见的亡者型MK V无畏，这位是忏悔天使团的“玛拉基”，左腿的标记显示他是第六战术小队的成员。作为一个重火力支援的角色，双臂装备了两台双联装自动炮并且镌刻着战团的座右铭“死是最好的忏悔”

右面图下写着：血天使团的狂怒者型MK IV无畏“浮士德”，是不知名的一个连的第二台无畏。“浮士德”是前老兵突击队的成员—黄金头盔和右腿的战斗标记证明了他的身份。）

 

The oldest surviving Dreadnoughts are known by the honorific title of "Venerable”. These are ancient heroes from a former age,and Venerable Dreadnoughts are amongst the most famous warriors of any Chapter Names like "Bjorn the Fell-Handed" of Spaces Wolves,"Brother Damos" of the Angels Porphyre and "Moriar the Chosen"  of the Blood Angels are rightly reserved and rank alongside the greatest heroes of the Imperium.

 

众所周知，现存最古老的无畏被尊称为“修士” 。他们是上一个时代的英雄，“修士”中有不少战团的英雄，名声大的如太空野狼战团的“一击必杀比约恩（Bjorn the Fell-Handed）”，坚定（Porphyre意为岩石）天使团的“Damos兄弟”，血天使团的“被选定的Moriar”，他们都是人类帝国中榜上有名的，正直且深入人心的大英雄。
