無限回路是包含在方舟靈族靈骨架構(gòu)中的靈魂網(wǎng)絡(luò)。

An Infinity Circuit is a psychic network contained in the wraithbone skeleton of an Eldar craftworld.

它可以在整個(gè)方舟之中傳輸靈魂能量，并為方舟上的設(shè)備提供動(dòng)力。自靈族之隕始，這也成為了靈族靈魂的一種人工的來世。否則，他們將會(huì)被色孽吞噬。

They transmit psychic energy throughout the ship to power on-board devices, and since the fall of the Eldar, they also serve as artificial afterlives for Eldar souls, since otherwise they would be devoured by Slaanesh.?

所有的無限回路都與網(wǎng)道依次相連，以形成所謂的永恒矩陣。

All Infinity Circuits are in turn linked through the Webway, forming what is known as the Eternity Matrix.

當(dāng)靈族死亡時(shí)，他的靈魂會(huì)被他所佩戴的魂石捕獲。

When Eldar die, their souls are trapped by the spirit stones that they wear.

之后，他的魂石會(huì)被置入他所在的方舟世界的靈骨核心之中，以引導(dǎo)他的靈魂進(jìn)入無限回路。

These spirit stones are then placed in contact with the core of their craftworld's wraithbone skeleton, which draws the soul out and into the network.

靈魂的能量會(huì)加諸于靈骨本身，而靈魂的人格最終得以安息，永遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)離色孽（只要回路保持完整——這也是方舟世界的守護(hù)者和其他武裝力量存在的目的）。

The soul's energy is added to the wraithbone's own, while its "personality" finally is laid to rest, safe from Slaanesh forever (as long as the integrity of the circuit itself is maintained—that's what the craftworld's Guardians and other armed forces are for).?

希望有一天，所有方舟世界的無限回路都獲得了足夠多的靈魂能量，從而得以在亞空間中形成一個(gè)新的靈族神祇，一個(gè)強(qiáng)大到足以摧毀色孽并拯救靈族的神祇。

The hope is that one day, there will be enough psychic energy contained in all of the craftworlds' Infinity Circuits that a new Eldar god will form in the Immaterium, one powerful enough to destroy Slaanesh and save the Eldar race.

無限回路也可以成為武裝力量的來源。

Infinity Circuits can also be sources of soldiers.

如果真的需要，靈魂先知可以引導(dǎo)靈魂脫離無限回路回到魂石之中，隨后被置入如幽冥護(hù)衛(wèi)、幽冥領(lǐng)主、幽冥先知、幽冥騎士之類的幽冥構(gòu)造體，甚至坦克里，重新為方舟世界而戰(zhàn)。

If the need is truly dire, Spiritseers can guide souls out of the Infinity Circuit and back into their spirit stones, which can then be placed into wraithbone constructs like Wraithguard, Wraithlords, Wraithseers, Wraithknights and even tanks to fight for the craftworld once again.?

靈族并不喜歡這樣做，因?yàn)樗麄兏Ｍ约旱南茸娴玫桨蚕?。但有時(shí)，這是不得不做的事。

Eldar don't like doing this, because they prefer to leave their ancestors in peace, but sometimes it just has to be done.

在對(duì)抗蟲巢艦隊(duì)克拉肯并傷亡慘重后，伊揚(yáng)登或許成為了使用這樣的“幽靈戰(zhàn)士”最多的方舟世界。他們讓自己經(jīng)歷了如此多的痛苦，以至于黑暗靈族都覺得有趣。而泰倫蟲族則覺得他們很美味。

Craftworld Iyanden probably uses the most such "ghost warriors" after sustaining terrible losses against Hive Fleet Kraken; they put themselves through so much angst over it that the Dark Eldar found it funny. Certain tyranids find them delicious.

絕大多數(shù)無限回路中的靈魂都不具有自主意識(shí)，他們的人格淡入背景能量之中（這種設(shè)定似乎因方舟世界而異，或者說，因作者而異）。

Most souls do not have any sort of awareness in the Infinity Circuits, their personalities essentially fading into its background energy (although like most things, it seems to vary from Craftworld to Craftworld, or rather writer to writer).?

例外的是，那些被死亡賦予了特殊悲憤的靈魂會(huì)將自己的情緒延續(xù)下去。個(gè)性異常強(qiáng)烈的靈族靈魂，通常會(huì)是偉大的英杰，仍然保持著他們的意識(shí)，乃至可以通過靈魂先知向他們尋求建議。

An exception is made for those souls who deaths brought them exceptional grief or rage, who carry on their emotions through. The souls of Eldar with exceptionally strong personalities, typically a great hero of some kind, still maintain their awareness, and can even be consulted by Spiritseers for advice.?

意識(shí)最為敏銳的是那些生命即將走到盡頭的水晶先知，他們在本質(zhì)上已與無限回路鏈接，同時(shí)在其他方面保持著完全的精神警覺。這些意識(shí)的等級(jí)大致與幽冥構(gòu)造體的力量對(duì)應(yīng)；你的普通的靈魂會(huì)成為幽冥護(hù)衛(wèi)，狂暴不安的靈魂會(huì)成為幽冥之刃，而偉大的英雄則會(huì)成為幽冥領(lǐng)主。

The most aware are those Farseers who reach the end of their lifespans and become Crystal Seers, who while linked to the Infinity Circuit essentially are otherwise fully mentally alert. These levels of awareness roughly correspond to the power of their corresponding wraith-constructs; your standard soul becoming a Wraithguard, raging restless souls become Wraithblades, while great heroes become Wraithlords.

所有無限回路和世界之魂都通過永恒矩陣連接在一起。它們在某種程度上通過網(wǎng)道相連，但似乎又存在于其迷宮般的結(jié)構(gòu)之外。

All Infinity Circuits and World Spirits are connected together through the Eternal Matrix, that binds them all together through, in part, the Webway, but seems to exist beyond its labyrinthine structure.?
