[业评] [翻译]Diablo世界背景系列--迪卡·凯恩旅记 Cain's Journal [全文完]

等待完全版翻译

感觉这句话感情色彩反了。
If only字典上两个意思：1.只要; 2.要是....就好, 但愿
“只要”表达的是障碍不多，成功在际的感情，而“要是”是对已经发生的事实表达遗憾。
具体到这里，可怕的事件已经发生，而Cain因为年轻时没把传说当真所以现在无法清晰的记起也已成事实。
所以这里的If only应该是表达遗憾的意思，翻译成“要是我那逐渐衰老的心智仍然能够如幼年时将那些传说鲜活的记起的话。”可能更合适。

恩，译文还未润色。
但感情色彩不是说加就加，译者有决定的权力。
当然你可以保留你的理解。

Take heed and bear witness to the truths that lie herein,
for they are the last legacy of the Horadrim.
There is a war that rages on even now,
beyond the fields that we know -
between the utopian kingdoms of the High Heavens
and the chaotic pits of the Burning Hells.
This war is known as the Great Conflict,
and it has raged and burned longer
than any of the stars in the sky.
Neither side ever gains sway for long
as the forces of Light and Darkness constantly
vie for control over all creation.



Take heed and bear witness to the truths that lie herein,
for they are the last legacy of the Horadrim.
When the Eternal Conflict between
the High Heavens and the Burning Hells
falls upon mortal soil,
it is called the Sin War.
Angels and Demons walk amongst humanity in disguise,
fighting in secret,
away from the prying eyes of mortals. Some daring,
powerful mortals have even allied themselves with either side,
and helped to dictate the course of the Sin War.

Take heed and bear witness to the truths that lie herein,
for they are the last legacy of the Horadrim.
Nearly three hundred years ago,
it came to be known that
the Three Prime Evils of the Burning Hells
had mysteriously come to our world.
The Three Brothers ravaged the lands of the east for decades,
while humanity was left trembling in their wake.
Our Order - the Horadrim - was founded
by a group of secretive magi to hunt down
and capture the Three Evils once and for all.

The original Horadrim captured two of the Three
within powerful artifacts known as Soulstones
and buried them deep beneath the desolate eastern sands.
The third Evil escaped capture and fled to the west
with many of the Horadrim in pursuit.
The Third Evil - known as Diablo, the Lord of Terror -
was eventually captured, his essence set in a Soulstone
and buried within this Labyrinth.

Be warned that the soulstone must be kept from discovery
by those not of the faith.
If Diablo were to be released,
he would seek a body that is easily controlled
as he would be very weak -
perhaps that of an old man or a child.

So it came to be that there was a great revolution
within the Burning Hells known as The Dark Exile.
The Lesser Evils overthrew the Three Prime Evils
and banished their spirit forms to the mortal realm.
The demons Belial (the Lord of Lies)
and Azmodan (the Lord of Sin) fought to claim
rulership of Hell during the absence of the Three Brothers.
All of Hell polarized between the factions of Belial and Azmodan
while the forces of the High Heavens
continually battered upon the very Gates of Hell.

Many demons traveled to the mortal realm
in search of the Three Brothers.
These demons were followed to the mortal plane
by Angels who hunted them throughout the vast cities of the East.
The Angels allied themselves with a secretive Order
of mortal magi named the Horadrim,
who quickly became adept at hunting demons.
They also made many dark enemies in the underworlds.

So it came to be that the Three Prime Evils
were banished in spirit form to the mortal realm
and after sewing chaos across the East for decades,
they were hunted down
by the cursed Order of the mortal Horadrim.
The Horadrim used artifacts called Soulstones
to contain the essence of Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred
and his brother Baal, the Lord of Destruction.
The youngest brother - Diablo, the Lord of Terror -
escaped to the west.

Eventually the Horadrim captured Diablo
within a Soulstone as well,
and buried him under an ancient, forgotten Cathedral.
There, the Lord of Terror sleeps
and awaits the time of his rebirth.
Know ye that he will seek a body of youth
and power to possess -
one that is innocent and easily controlled.
He will then arise to free his Brothers
and once more fan the flames of the Sin War...

All praises to Diablo -
Lord of Terror and Survivor of The Dark Exile.
When he awakened from his long slumber,
my Lord and Master spoke to me
of secrets that few mortals know.
He told me the kingdoms of the High Heavens
and the pits of the Burning Hells
engage in an eternal war.
He revealed the powers
that have brought this discord to the realms of man.
My lord has named the battle for this world
and all who exist here
the Sin War.

Glory and Approbation to Diablo -
Lord of Terror and Leader of the Three.
My Lord spoke to me of his two Brothers,
Mephisto and Baal, who were banished
to this world long ago.
My Lord wishes to bide his time
and harness his awesome power so that
he may free his captive brothers
from their tombs beneath the sands of the east.
Once my Lord releases his Brothers,
the Sin War will once again
know the fury of the Three.

Hail and Sacrifice to Diablo -
Lord of Terror and Destroyer of Souls.
When I awoke my Master from his sleep,
he attempted to possess a mortal's form.
Diablo attempted to claim the body of King Leoric,
but my Master was too weak from his imprisonment.
My Lord required a simple and innocent anchor to this world,
and so found the boy Albrecht to be perfect for the task.
While the good King Leoric was left maddened
by Diablo's unsuccessful possession,
I kidnapped his son Albrecht and brought him before my Master.
I now await Diablo's call
and pray that I will be rewarded
when he at last emerges as the Lord of this world.
