八版圣典節(jié)譯:胡燒小子
Fire has an undeniable appeal to the greenskin race. The fascination with the ignoble art of setting things ablaze sometimes grows so profound in an Ork that he will find his way into the ranks of the Burna Boyz.?
對于綠皮種族而言,火焰有著無法抗拒的吸引力。某些時候,一名歐克獸人會極其著迷于縱火這種卑劣的藝術(shù),以至于會成為胡燒小子中的一員。


Dedicated arsonists all, Burna Boyz love nothing more than burning other people's stuff, and the owners into the bargain. The dual spectacle of leaping flame and frantically flailing victim is a thing of beauty to a Burna Boy, and they will seize any excuse to set someone on fire.?
胡燒小子是專心致志的縱火者,它們最酷愛的便是將他人的財物連同所有者一起燒毀。對他們而言,跳動著的火焰與瘋狂扭動著的受害者是雙重的美景,而且他們也會找各種借口將某人點燃。


Burna Boyz are characterised by their welding masks and the long, stripped-down flamethrowers from which they take their name. These `burnas' are able to spray great gouts of oily flame, and are linked to a sloshing tank of volatile promethium slung over the shoulder of the Burna Boy. A Burna Boy is given a wide berth on the field of battle, not only because of his acrid smell, but also because of the chance that a stray bullet will suddenly change him from cackling comrade to crackling conflagration.?
胡燒小子的特征是它們的焊接面具,以及那長而簡約的火焰噴射器——它們也是由此而得名。這些“胡燒槍”能夠噴射出大量油膩的火焰,而且與吊掛在胡燒小子肩膀上的揮發(fā)性钷素攪拌罐相連。在戰(zhàn)場上,胡燒小子們會被遠遠得甩在一邊,這不僅是因為他們刺鼻的氣味,也是因為一枚流彈就有可能把他們從嘎嘎大笑的戰(zhàn)友變?yōu)猷枧咀黜懙木薮蠡鹎颉?/p>
No Warboss worth his teef would stand for the constant 'accidents' that accompany a mob of Burna Boyz without significant benefit, and so these pyro-addicts have to learn to adapt their behaviour to better serve Ork society. To this end, their burnas are modified with special nozzles and valves that allow the weapons to force out a fierce blue tongue of fire instead of a cloud of orange flame. This 'cuttin flame' is powerful enough to slice through anything up to a metal bulkhead.?
在沒有明顯益處的情況下,手中握有存牙的戰(zhàn)爭老大都忍受不了伴隨一群胡燒小子們而不斷發(fā)生的“事故”,所以這些嗜火成癮者必須學(xué)會調(diào)整自己的行為,以更好地服務(wù)于獸人社會。所以,他們用特殊的噴嘴和閥門來改裝胡燒槍,迫使這種武器噴射出兇猛的藍色火舌,而非一團橙色火焰云。這種“切割焰”也強悍到足以切穿覆蓋在金屬隔板外側(cè)的任何東西。


As a result, teams of Burna Boyz are invaluable during salvage operations and the creation of the larger Ork war machines, and will work under a Spanner's supervision for weeks on end to collect scrap for the Mekboy Workshops - just so long as they get plenty of metal to cut through and fungus beer to drink. When they march to war, they are accompanied by the same Spanners, who ensure the Burna Boyz do not get carried away and set light to the other Orks merely so they will 'do the burny dance'.
因此,胡燒小子小隊在進行打撈行動和制造大型的歐克獸人戰(zhàn)爭機器時是非常有用的,他們會在鉗工小子的監(jiān)督下連續(xù)工作數(shù)周,為技師小子的車間收集廢料——只要讓他們有足夠的金屬去切穿、有真菌啤酒喝就行。但他們奔赴戰(zhàn)爭時,同一批鉗工小子們也會隨同前往,后者要確保胡燒小子們不會忘乎所以,也不會把其他獸人點燃,“讓他丫蹦個火辣的迪”。


As with most Ork tools, the burna proves extremely useful in battle. When used as a flamethrower it is ideal for flushing out enemies hiding in ruined buildings and woods, especially when several Burna Boyz combine their firepower into a searing inferno. Drive-by immolations are equally a danger to those facing Burna Boyz, who delight in hanging off the sides of Trukks and Battlewagons as they race through the enemy lines, the Orks' weapons blanketing opponents with sheets of flames all the while. When facing heavily armoured opponents such as Space Marines, the Burna Boyz simply switch to their cuttin' flames, and use their burnas to slice apart the foe in melee. For this reason Burna Boyz are sometimes known as kan openers, and they prove invaluable upon the front line.?
就像大多數(shù)的獸人工具那樣,胡燒槍在戰(zhàn)場上也被證明是極其有用的。當(dāng)用作火焰噴射器時,它非常適合把藏在建筑廢墟或樹木后面的敵人驅(qū)趕出來,尤其是當(dāng)數(shù)名胡燒小子將他們的火力組合為一股灼熱的地獄之火時。對那些面對著胡燒小子的人們而言,這些綠皮的飛車射擊同樣危險——當(dāng)獸人卡車和戰(zhàn)車快速穿過敵人的防線時,胡燒小子們喜歡懸掛在載具的兩側(cè),他們會用大片的火焰覆蓋對手。當(dāng)面對諸如星際戰(zhàn)士之類配備有厚重裝甲的敵人時,胡燒小子們會將武器切換到熱切模式,用胡燒槍在混戰(zhàn)中切開敵人。出于這個原因,胡燒小子有時候也被稱為“開罐者”,它們在前線戰(zhàn)場上被證明是無價的。
