Dark Portal in February 3, landstillinfrozen, sign that the myriad thingshave not regained consciousness.黑暗之门3年2月,大地仍在冰封,万物迟迟没有苏醒的迹象。Thisisin the winter the most unendurabletime, coldwinterstill, butfoodalmosteats clean.
这是冬天里最难熬的时刻,凛冬依然,可食物几乎吃光。In the northernLordaeronmainland, freezes to death the peoplebody that starves to deathto find at everywhere. Because the weathertoocoldrelations, do not needto be worried about the plagueactually, but the hardice layermadeallpeoplegive up the plan of burialcompanionorneighbor.
在北部洛丹伦大陆上,冻死饿死的民众尸体随处可见。由于天气太冷的关系,倒是不用担心瘟疫,只是坚硬的冰层让所有民众都放弃了安葬同伴或者邻居的打算。
The Lordaeronaristocratscelebrate the victory of warin the warmcastle, southmostmainlandKingdom of Stormwind, LlanebringLittle PrinceVarianin the inspectionterritory.洛丹伦的贵族们在温暖的城堡里庆祝战争的胜利,大陆最南面的暴风王国,莱恩却带着小王子瓦里安在视察领地。Right, braves the five-timecold windbelow zero and slightlytinysnow.
对,冒着零下五度的寒风和微微细雪。Because the Elwynn Forestdeep placestillhasorcodd/surplusevil, Llanehas toleadover500people of Royal Familyknightsto roll the journey. Accompanyingnaturallywill not lackpaladin, priest, hunterandmage, but alsohave severalWindrunnerfamily'sranger.
因为艾尔文森林的深处依然有兽人的余孽,莱恩不得不带着超过五百人的王家骑士团出行。随行的当然不会缺乏圣骑士、牧师、猎人、法师,还有数位风行者家族的游侠。Passed byoutsidein the Goldshiretomb, several corpses of freezingplunged intoLlane and Varianfield of vision.
路过闪金镇外头的墓地里,几具结冰的尸体跳入了莱恩和瓦里安的视界。„What's all this about?”Follows the LlaneinspectionAnduinto have a flame of angerto burnin the chest.
“这是怎么回事?”跟随莱恩视察的安度因有种无名火在胸膛里烧。Does not needhimto get angry, naturallyhasto accompanyto callat the same timeterrifiedMayorGoldshire.
不用他发火,自然有随从唤来一面惶恐的闪金镇镇长。„Sorry, your majesty, we do not know that youcango on an inspection tour.”
“抱歉,陛下,我们不知道你会来出巡。”„Doesn't know? Whetherthatcan giveyourenoughtimeto hide the corpse.”InKing Llanethiswords the words of Tibetan's knife, obviouslydignified.
“不知道?那是不是可以给你们足够的时间把尸体藏起来。”莱恩国王这种话里藏刀的话语,更显威严。„It is not this, your majesty. Askedyour majestycarefullyto look, theymostlywere the old men.”Frightens the scared shitlessmayoragain and againto argue.
“不是这样的,陛下。请陛下仔细看,他们大多是老者。”吓得屁滚尿流的镇长连连辩解。Llanelooks, that is true.莱恩一看,的确如此。„Theybeforecoming backElwynn Forest the physical conditionnothave been good. Everyoneurgedthemdo not come back, buttheysaidobstinately,diedmustdiein the hometown. Onshipbumpyoneweek, wetake care ofthemas far as possible, according toMarcusyour excellencyinstruction, we have arrangedthemnear the doctororpriest. What a pitytheycannotboil.”
“他们在回来艾尔文森林之前身体状况就一直不大好。大伙都劝他们不要回来,可是他们愣是说,死都要死在故乡。在船上颠簸了一个多星期,我们都尽量照顾他们,按照马库斯阁下的训示,我们一直把他们安排在医师或者牧师附近。可惜他们都没能熬过去。”Mayor'sargument, makingLlaneand the otherssilent.
镇长的辩解,让莱恩等人默然了。
The hometown, thisregardingeachKingdom of Stormwindnational, hasspecialsacredmeaning.
故乡,这对于每个暴风王国国民来说,都有着特殊的神圣意味。Founds a nationfrom the kingdom, the millenniumspassed by, manypeople of itslifehas not left the native landfinally. Inthatdays that Kingdom of Stormwindfalls to the enemy, evenLlaneoneselfam innumerablehave thoughtpainfully, whetheroneselfthis whole lifealsohas the opportunityto return toKingdom of Stormwindthisonlands that inheriteddozensgenerations.
自王国立国,千年过去了,好多人终其一生从未曾离开过故土。在暴风王国沦陷的那段日子里,连莱恩本人都无数次痛苦地想过,自己这辈子是否还有机会回到暴风王国这片传承了几十代人的土地上。
That days of justfalling to the enemy, perhapsoneself and nationalturning roundcountrywas cherished. If by some chanceoneselfdied in battle, then the warriors in allduplicate/restorescountries'did die in battlewholeheartedly? Ifdraggingfiveyearstenyears, hasn't been able the turning roundcountry? When the time comesis willingto support the person in Kingdom of Stormwindduplicate/restorescountry's, how many is also left over?
刚沦陷的那段日子,或许自己和国民还复国心切。万一自己阵亡了,然后所有一心复国的勇士都战死了呢?如果拖上五年十年,还未能复国呢?到时候愿意支持暴风王国复国的人,又剩下多少?
The nationals, especially the national of old age, long forreturning to the heart of hometown, LlaneandAnduin, iscanunderstandas foryoungVarianclearly.
国民,特别是老年的国民,渴望回到故乡的心,莱恩、安度因,乃至于年幼的瓦里安都能真切地理解。Llanesighs, in the weather of cold winter, thissighedto form the rime fog, was very clear: „Mayormister, Iacceptsyourexplanation, but, asksyouto leadus the place that nowgoes to the civiliansto gather. Imustwitness the achievement that youworkwithmyeye, as well asyouto the loyalty of kingdomsandpeople.”莱恩叹了一口气,在寒冬的天气里,这口叹气形成冰雾,无比清晰:“镇长先生,我接受你的解释,不过,现在请你带我们去平民聚集的地方。我要用我的眼睛去见证你工作的成果,以及你对王国和人民的忠诚。”„Naturally! Naturally!” The mayorscratcheson the face the sweat bead that startsto congeal, hurryingbringsLlaneto walkto go to the town/subdues.
“当然!当然!”镇长擦着自己脸上已经开始凝结的汗珠子,慌忙带着莱恩一行走去镇里面。BecauseGoldshireoncebecameHordeto attack the Stormwind Citybase, had been burnt downbyDuke, althoughafter more than oneyear of time, manytreesseemed likebare, did not die is not long.
由于闪金镇曾经成为部落进攻暴风城的基地,又被杜克一把火烧过,尽管经过了一年多的时间,好多树看起来还是光秃秃的,不是死了就是尚未长回来。In a littledesolatedtown, Llanehappilysaw that manyhumanstyles the housesstand erectin the town. Before one -and-a-half years, in the sameposition is the Hordethesenauseadirtyandat sixes and sevenstents.
在有点荒芜的镇子上,莱恩欣慰地看到好多人类风格的房子矗立在镇子上。一年半前,同样的位置上全是部落那些恶心肮脏而又乱七八糟的帐篷。„Royal Father, herehousemanyare an appearance.”Varianprinceshoutssurprisedly.
“父王,这里的房子好多是一个样子的。”瓦里安王子惊奇地喊道。Llaneis the bigfeelingis also surprised, as the king, heonlysees the report that Dukesends, said that a lot ofhousesconstructed. Reportedregarding the internal affairs,Llanealwaysbyhaving the vision of moistureis carefully examining. In the impression of Llane, canconstruct1/10houses, othernationalscanhave a quitesolidtentto be good.莱恩也是大感惊奇,作为国王,他只看到杜克发来的报告,说建了多少多少栋房子。对于内政报告,莱恩从来是以带着水份的眼光去审视的。在莱恩的印象里,能建好十分之一的房子,其他国民能有个比较结实的帐篷就不错了。Nowlooks like, the report of Dukeunexpectedly is completely clear, nomoisture!
现在看来,杜克的报告竟然完全是真真切切,没有一点水份的啊!„Thank the Marcusgrand dukenew-styleconstructionhandbook, wecanbefore the winterapproachedfor the house that the townspeoplemadeto winter every households, equaled1120households. So long asin the family/homealsohas a man, even if not make the house, under the artisandirects, candepend onfiveandsixpeopleto construct a solidhousein one month.”
“感谢马库斯大公爵的新式建筑手册,我们得以在冬天来临之前为每一户镇民造好过冬的房子,合计一千一百二十户。只要家里还有个男人,哪怕不会造房子,在工匠指挥下,也能在一个月内靠五、六个人就建好一栋结实的房子。”LlaneandAnduin, Varianis startled.莱恩、安度因,还有瓦里安都是大吃了一惊。Theytoconstructing the houseknow nothing, but how theyhave seen the beforehandcarpenter and masonconstruct the house. Does not havesix monthsisnot to handle a house.
他们对建房子一窍不通,但他们是见过以前木匠和石匠是如何建房子的。没有半年时间是搞不定一栋房子的。Whatefficiencynow is this?
现在这是什么效率?
The mayorfirsthaskingand his partyto arrive at the warehouse
镇长首先带着国王一行来到仓库Sees onlymanylumberby the entiresimultaneouslystackin the warehouse, Llanenoticeseachlumberboth sidesto have the scoop channel: „Thisis......”
只见很多木料被整整齐齐堆放在仓库里,莱恩注意到每一根木料的两端都有凹槽:“这是……”Mayor: „, ConcreteIdo not understand. Mr.VanCleef of masonfraternityexplainedat that timemuchtome. Said that isanything, so long ashaving the pillar and crossbeam that assign the numberput the assigningposition of levelground, canjoindirectly, withstand/top the nail, canmake the frame of house, the housewill not dispersecasually. Covers the prepareddouble-deckedplankagain, a housebasicallymade.”
镇长:“呃,具体的我也不懂。石匠兄弟会的范克里夫先生当时对我解释了不少。说是什么只要把标有指定号码的柱子和横梁放到平实地面的指定位置,就可以直接搭接上去,顶上钉子,就可以做成房子的框架,房子也不会随便散掉。再盖上事先准备好的双层木板,一间房子基本就造好了。”„This?”Anduinis also stunned.
“就这样?”安度因也愕然。„, Warms upwith the stovedoes not have the means that this can only makequiteidlewomanbuild.”
“呃,取暖用的炉子没办法,这个只能让比较空闲的女人自己搭建。”„Leadsmeto have a look.”Llaneordered.
“带我去看看。”莱恩下令。Has not walkedfar, the grouparrive in townedgehousehold of evencommon peopleenormously and powerful. Knocked the front door of homeowner, thathousehold of farmerwas frightenedwelcomedkingand his party.
没走多远,一行人浩浩荡荡来到镇子边缘一户平民家里。敲开了屋主的大门,那户农民惊惶地迎接了国王一行。„Does not needto kneel, is standing the speech.”
“不用跪着,站着说话吧。”Inthishaving a strict hierarchyage, the civilianssee the king, does not needto kneelis being the hugegracious gift. Wantsthemalsoto sit together, killsthemnot to dare.
在这个等级森严的年代,平民见到国王,不用跪着已经是天大的恩赐。要他们也坐在一起,打死他们也不敢的。„Thanksyour majesty.” The menbringhis wifealsothreehalfbigchildsimultaneouslyto say.
“谢谢陛下。”男人带着他的妻子还有三个半大的孩子齐齐说道。„Are you soldier of leave?”Anduinnoticed the necklace of husband. On the necklacehas a sign of rectangle, thisisidea that Dukeraises- armysign. On the armysignmarked the meritorious service that the name, native place and subordinatesoldieras well asperformed.
“你是休假的士兵?”安度因注意到了男主人的项链。项链上有一个长方形的牌子,这是杜克提出来的点子-军牌。军牌上标记了士兵的姓名、籍贯、所属以及所立下的功勋。
The menstand at attentionimmediately, standardmilitary bearing: „Kingdom'sfifthinfantry regiment'sthirdbrigade'sfifthplatoon leaderJoseph Adamssalutestoyou, CommanderLothar.”
男人立即一个立正,标准的军姿:“王国第五步兵团第三大队第五小队长约瑟*阿当斯向你致敬,洛萨指挥官阁下。”„Howthis does passin the winter?”Llanewas asking.
“这个冬天过得怎样?”莱恩笑着问。„ThankSaint Duke, wecrossedwell.”Almostsaid the instance that the face of Josephhas changed color.
“感谢圣*杜克,我们过得不错。”几乎说完的瞬间,约瑟的脸已经变色。„Saint Duke?”( To be continued.)
“圣*杜克?”(未完待续。)
