hh5節(jié)譯:無(wú)印之子

Of the entire Legion, only five whole chapters of the Ultramarines and a handful of separate detachments from other chapters were spared the Mark of Calth. As with those Legiones Astartes of other Legions who had lived through the Isstvan massacres, an unspoken rift formed between the veterans of Calth and those who had not passed through the fires of betrayal. No official designation to mark the veterans of Calth was ever promulgated amongst the XIIIth Legion, nor did Guilliman ever sanction any division between the warriors of his Legion, yet on those occasions where the Ultramarines gathered afterwards in numbers, the survivors of Calth ever formed a separate body. The bitter wound of base betrayal was one they carried through all their days, the lasting legacy of the Word Bearers’assault on the worlds of Ultramar; trust came to them only with difficulty and always there was a hint of paranoia in their preparations for war and the execution of their campaigns.
在整個(gè)極限戰(zhàn)士軍團(tuán)當(dāng)中,只有五個(gè)完整的戰(zhàn)團(tuán)和少數(shù)來(lái)自其他戰(zhàn)團(tuán)的分遣隊(duì)未被印上考斯的印記。就如同其他軍團(tuán)那些活過(guò)伊斯特萬(wàn)大屠殺的阿斯塔特一樣,考斯老兵和那些未經(jīng)受過(guò)背叛的戰(zhàn)火的阿斯塔特之間形成了一道不言而喻的裂隙。第十三軍團(tuán)中從未頒布過(guò)正式的標(biāo)志來(lái)紀(jì)念考斯會(huì)戰(zhàn)的老兵,基里曼也從未認(rèn)可批準(zhǔn)極限戰(zhàn)士們之間的任何區(qū)分。然而隨后在極限戰(zhàn)士們大量集結(jié)的場(chǎng)合中,考斯幸存者們會(huì)形成一個(gè)分離的群體。背叛所造成的苦澀傷痛將會(huì)糾纏他們一生,這是懷言者們進(jìn)攻奧特拉瑪諸世界所留下的長(zhǎng)久遺產(chǎn);他們很難獲得信任,在準(zhǔn)備戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和進(jìn)行戰(zhàn)役時(shí)也總會(huì)有些偏執(zhí)。

Of the so-called 'Unmarked' chapters, two had been assigned to distant Great Crusade forces at the time of the Calth atrocity; the 7th Chapter was divided amongst the vast reaches of the Dominion of Storms and the 10th Chapter was battling through the xenos- infested Eastern Fringe. The remaining chapters, the 19th, as well as those which bore the title the 24th and 25th, had been assigned garrison and training duties amongst the myriad worlds of Ultramar. Though none escaped the fires of Horus'?rebellion, none were tested as were those few who had stood against the unthinkable at Calth, none ever stood at the brink of annihilation and the edge of madness as did their brothers.
在這些所謂的“無(wú)印”戰(zhàn)團(tuán)中,當(dāng)考斯暴行發(fā)生時(shí),有兩個(gè)是被分配到了遙遠(yuǎn)的大遠(yuǎn)征部隊(duì)當(dāng)中,第七戰(zhàn)團(tuán)分布在Dominion of Storms的廣闊區(qū)域,第十戰(zhàn)團(tuán)則在遭到異形侵?jǐn)_的東部邊境奮戰(zhàn)。惡人那些剩余的戰(zhàn)團(tuán)中,第十九戰(zhàn)團(tuán),以及那些擁有第二十四戰(zhàn)團(tuán)和第二十五戰(zhàn)團(tuán)頭銜的部隊(duì)唄指派到奧特拉瑪?shù)臒o(wú)數(shù)世界中被執(zhí)行駐軍和訓(xùn)練任務(wù)。雖然這些戰(zhàn)團(tuán)沒(méi)能逃過(guò)荷魯斯叛亂的戰(zhàn)火,但也沒(méi)有人經(jīng)受過(guò)考斯那般的考驗(yàn):對(duì)抗無(wú)法想象的敵人與可怖之物,他們也未曾像自己的兄弟一樣處于滅絕和瘋狂的邊緣。

In the later years of the Scouring, the Unmarked would continuously see assignment to operations removed from the main body of their brethren; even Guilliman seemed averse to their company on campaign, perhaps seeing in them a reminder of days now lost. Eventually, the Unmarked would be among the first of the Legion to be renamed and separated during the Second Founding, and remain perhaps the truest reflection of the Ultramarines of old.
在荷魯斯叛亂之后的大清洗中,無(wú)印戰(zhàn)團(tuán)們不斷地被派去執(zhí)行那些被從兄弟主體中移除的任務(wù),甚至基里曼似乎也反對(duì)他們參戰(zhàn),也許是因?yàn)閺乃麄兩砩峡吹侥切┦湃サ臍q月。最終,無(wú)印之子們?cè)诘诙谓ㄜ娭袃?yōu)先被重新命名并從軍團(tuán)中拆分出去,而且他們也許仍然是曾經(jīng)的極限戰(zhàn)士軍團(tuán)的最為真實(shí)的反映。
