山姆的寰宇小舖

很好，這樣的產能不知道能維持多久www

我只能說這篇的科普力超高XDDD 查了很多奇怪的東西

只能說外粉的想像力真是太豐富la

這次的分量很夠，所以不拖篇幅，開始囉：

=======

賽耳篇 Sel

造成災罰的地震跟地表的自我意識沒有特別的關聯。

The earthquake that caused the Reod is not specifically related to the ground’s sentience

 

珊露可能會出現在別的故事中。(<皇帝魂>不會有續集)

Shai might show up in other stories. (no Emperor's Soul sequels)

 

你可以用精章殺死自己。(而且你這麼做之後會回不來)

You can kill yourself with soulforging. (and you can't come back afterwards if you do this)

 

司卡德利亞篇 Scadrial

沙賽德的最初靈感來自<古墓奇兵>裡面的跟班。

Very first inspiration for Sazed was the sidekick in The Mummy.

 

你可以從紋有沒有戴著耳針跟聲音的強度來推斷瑞恩的聲音到底是不是滅絕。一個自然浮現的記憶可能就只是記憶，但一個很刻意要她做甚麼的強大聲音可能就是瑞恩。

You can usually tell when Reen’s voice is actually Ruin based on whether she’s wearing the earring and how forceful the voice is. A naturally flowing memory is probably just a memory, but a forceful voice trying to push her in some way is probably Reen.

 

沼澤知道凱西爾現在的狀態。

Marsh is aware of Kelsier's current state.

 

統御主是因為心胸狹小才把世界上的人分成貴族跟司卡的。

The Lord Ruler divided the world into nobility and skaa because he was petty.

 

司卡德利亞的地震是一種把當地語言"翻譯"成我們語言的自由詮釋(跟托爾金的做法類似)。

  註：因為司卡德利亞不是叫做Earth啊www

Earthquakes happen on Scadrial because liberties are taken when "translating" the book into our language (similar to Tolkien).

 

當司卡德利亞的軌道改變的時候，對於寰宇的其他地方沒有甚麼太大的影響。

When Scadrial's orbit was changed, it didn't affect the rest of the Cosmere in a significant way.

 

埃金屬/諧金會釋放很多的能量是因為這金屬的靈魂特性非常不穩定(一部分的滅絕，一部分的存留)。這讓它比一般化學反應還要具有爆炸性。這樣的反應不會產生"氧化諧金"，但是的確會留下某種"跟寰宇很有關"的東西。諧金是一種特殊的元素(而非天金跟天鉑的合金)。

Ettmetal/Harmonium releases lots of energy because the spiritual nature of the metal (part Ruin, part Preservation) is volatile. This makes it more explosive than natural chemistry would account for. The reaction doesn't produce "harmonium oxide", but it does leave behind something "really relevant to the cosmere". It is a unique element (not an alloy of Atium and Lerasium).

 

類金屬(例如鎵跟銻)的確在鎔金術中有一席之地，不過不是每種都能被推/拉。

Metalioids (e.g. gallium, antimony) do play a role in Allomancy, though not everything is pushable/pullable.

 

液體金屬會跟鎔金術互動。推/拉它的時候會類似磁場中的鐵磁流體。

Liquid metals do interact with Allomancy. With pushing/pulling it works like a ferrofluid in a magnetic field.

 

用等大的力量交互包覆鎘與彎管合金的速度圈可以讓效果互相抵消。

Overlapping cadmium and bendalloy bubbles cancel out where they overlap with equal strength.

 

一個人體內的鋁刺不會影響安撫者對他使用鎔金術的能力。

An aluminum spike in somebody would have no effect on a Soother’s ability to use Allomancy on that person.

 

銀不會像我們一般認知的跟三大金屬技藝互動。

Silver does not, as they understand currently, interact with the three Metallic Arts.

 

有許多年，司卡德利亞都是靜靜對全寰宇的訪客開放的。在現代時期，這點會更加明顯。

For many years Scadrial was quietly open to visitors from across the cosmere. In the modern era, that has enhanced.

 

司卡德利亞對於冶金有先進的了解。

Scadrial has an advanced understanding of metallurgy

 

司卡德利亞的地殼組成跟地球的類似。裡面有很多的鋁。

  註：地球地殼裡面的前三大元素，先後是氧、矽跟鋁。鋁是地殼中最充沛的金屬元素。

The composition of Scadrial's crust is similar to Earth's. There is a lot of aluminum.

 

低廉的鋁價將會對司卡德利亞社會帶來劇烈的衝擊。

Cheap aluminum is going to have drastic changes on Scadrian society.

 

納西斯篇 Nalthis

如果宵血出鞘而且已經沒有駐氣/靈魂可以消耗，他不會開始吞噬他周遭的世界。(好消息噢w)

If Nightblood is fully drawn and runs out of Breath/people to consume, he won't start vaporizing the world around him.

 

宵血不會睡覺。他在消耗太多授能之後會聽起來醉醉/茫茫的。

Nightblood doesn't sleep. He starts to sound drunk/drowsy if he consumes a lot of investiture.

 

一個典型的識喚術師可以把駐氣給宵血。宵血不能用駐氣來識喚。

A typical Awakener can give Breaths to Nightblood. Nightblood cannot use those Breaths to Awaken.

 

禹(Vo)的復歸發生在<破戰者>的事件前許久，但還不至於數千年之久。

  註：禹是納西斯第一個(有記載的)復歸者，也是義卓司皇室血統的源頭。

Vo’s Return prior to the events of Warbreaker was a long time ago, but not thousands of years.

 

羅沙篇 Roshar

如果布蘭登非要刪減任何<引誓>的章節，他會用別的方法出版這些遺珠。

If Brandon has to cut any Oathbringer chapters, he will make them available in some way.

 

加絲娜會是<引誓>的封面人物。(好吧這我想大家都知道了)

Jasnah will be on the cover of Oathbringer.

你還沒看過嗎，讓你看看！！！(加加是女神啊)

 

未來在<引誓>中將會有個間曲採用魂術能者的視角。

There will be an interlude in Oathbringer from the perspective of a soulcasting savant.

 

利芙特可以使用摩擦力做出比我們在<緣舞師>中看到的還要多的事情。她還在學習跟練習。(布蘭登似乎證明了她也能增加磨損力)

Lift is capable of using Friction to do more than what we see in Edgedancer. She is still learning and practicing. (Brandon seems to confirm that she can increase friction.)

 

變成燦軍不是基因的，但彼此靠近的人們更有可能一起變成燦軍。如果你認識一位，也更有可能變成另一位。靈可能會被吸引到特定的地區，因此對於那裡的人投入了更多關注，而靈魂上的連結也可以考慮在內。

Becoming a Radiant is not genetic, but people close to one another are more likely to become Radiants together. You’re more likely to become one if you know one. Spren may be attracted to a certain area and therefore give more attention to the people there, and spiritual connectedness can factor in.

 

洛奔是個小隊員。<引誓>中會有更多關於小隊員(squire)的解釋。

Lopen is a squire. More will be explained in Oathbringer about squires.

 

燦軍師團跟其他的碎神無關---就只有榮譽/培養。也有些是憎惡的影響，但大部分都是束虛術。<王者之路>最後的表圖就跟束虛術有關。封波術有關於人們取得創造世界的基本力量和宇宙的法則。他們透過培養跟榮譽的篩選得到這些力量。

Radiant orders are not associated with other Shards- just Honor/Cultivation. There is some Odium influence too, but that’s mostly Voidbinding. The chart in the back of TWoK is associated with Voidbinding. Surgebinding is about people accessing fundamental forces of creation and laws of the universe. They are accessing them through the filter of Cultivation and Honor.

 

聯繫(Bonds)是榮譽的東西，這些力量即是透過聯繫的方式，在封波術被取得。重力波力便牽涉到了你跟一個物體或方向之間創造一個聯繫。有些波力更傾向榮譽，而有些更偏向培養。

Bonds are an Honor thing, which is why these forces are accessed in Surgebinding by means of bonds. The Surge of Gravitation involves making a bond between yourself and a thing or a direction. Some of the Surges lean more towards Honor and some towards Cultivation.

 

培養靈跟榮譽靈並不一定分別是與培養和榮譽最有關聯的靈。西兒自認為是個榮譽靈，但其他的種族可能會爭論他們更像榮譽。

Cultivationspren and honorspren are not necessarily the spren most associated with Cultivation and Honor, respectively. Syl self-identifies as an honorspren, but other types might argue they’re more like Honor.

 

追隨燦軍騎士的誓言取決於騎士跟靈怎麼看待誓言。舉例來說，對卡拉丁而言，重點在於他跟西兒是否相信他有在遵守他的誓言---而不是外界的觀察者的看法。兩個逐風師對於一個誓言有沒有遵守，可能會有不同的看法。

Following the oaths of the Knights Radiant is about how the knight and bonded spren perceive that oath. For example, with Kaladin, what matters for him is whether he and Syl believe he is following his oaths- not whether some outside observer believes that he is. Two Windrunners can disagree on whether an oath is being kept or not.

 

墨水靈會被有思想的人吸引。

  註：墨水靈(Inkspren)是異召師的納海聯繫靈，例如加絲娜的象牙(Ivory)。

Inkspren are attracted to thoughtful people.

 

對於碎刃能不能切割鋁還沒有結論。「目前的答案是呃，或是『不行』。」

No consensus yet on whether Shardblades can cut aluminum. "Err on 'no' for now."

 

榮刃是榮譽的靈魂殘片，給了神將直接使用祂精質的能力。

Honorblades are pieces of Honor’s soul and gave Heralds direct access to his essence.

 

不同的聆聽者形體分別跟特定的靈互聯。對於生靈是否對應到遲鈍形體，目前保留RAFO。

Different Listener forms each correspond to a specific spren. RAFO on whether lifespren correspond to dullform.

 

帕胥人現在可以變形成帕山迪人了，只要被帶到颶風中得到靈的話。這在永颶之前是不可能的，永颶改變了一些事情。在加維拉跟伊尚尼的場景中有線索。

Parshmen can NOW be transformed into Parshendi, if led into a highstorm and given a spren. This was not true before the Everstorm, which changed them in some way. There's a clue about this in the scene with Gavilar and Eshonai.

 

帕山迪人的甲殼跟他們變形的能力沒有直接關聯。

Parshendi carapace isn't directly involved in their ability to transform.

 

在永颶之前帕山迪人有負面的情緒(例如恥笑)，但跟之前配合的節奏(Rhythm)不一樣。

The Parshendi had negative emotions before the Everstorm (e.g. Ridicule), but they didn't match them to the Rhythms the same way before.

 

誓門不受光速的限制。

The Oathgates aren't constrained by the speed of light.

 

被寫下來的圖表有某種界域上的效果。

The written Diagram has some sort of Realmatic effect.

 

子夜精跟白脊之間有關係，但比起裂谷魔與雷爪之間的關係來得薄弱。子夜精會模仿它身邊看到的東西。

  註：複習一下，子夜精就是<王者之路>中達利納在幻境裡對抗的黑色怪物，可能是憎惡的手下產物之一；雷爪應該也是(雷爪就是楔子中卡拉克看到的屍體)。

There is a relationship between Midnight Essence and whitespines, but it's more tenuous than the relationship between chasmfiends and thunderclasts. Midnight Essence imitates what it sees around itself.

 

羅沙上的皮革大部分都來自豬。他們有很大的豬農場。

Leather on Roshar is generally from pigs. They have large farms of pigs.

 

就天文上來說，羅沙的衛星們並非處在穩定的軌道上，但是千百年後還不會出問題。這些奇怪，特殊的軌道是某件事的提示。

Roshar's moons are not in a stable orbit, astronomically speaking, but won't degrade for tens of thousands of years. These odd, specific orbits are a hint about something.

 

我們在<引誓>中會對圖卡人(Tukari，原文打錯字了)有更多了解。不多也不太重要，但至少有點值得注意。

  註：圖卡(Tukar)是羅沙中西部的小國，在瑪拉跟艾姆歐的附近。<緣舞師Edgedancer>中有出現。

We will learn more about the Tukkari in Oathbringer. Not much and nothing significant, but at least one notable thing.

 

雅列席語的音節有閃米特跟中東來源。兩個對於英語使用者而言最奇怪的子音應該是kh(要發成希伯來文的het) 跟 J(發成y的音)。在亞西須語中，kk或qq的音(例如塔席克Tashikk)是阿拉伯語喉塞音。

  註1：閃米特跟猶太意思類似，總之類似猶太話/希伯來文；het聽起來有點像沒念完的"嘿"(四聲，記得咬舌頭)；喉塞音有點像是"I can't go"裡面的那個"t"，幾乎是不會發出來的。所以可能是念成"塔矽(ㄎ)" (我的天啊小舖還要教語音學) (我念喉塞音差點噎到)

  註2：所以你就知道，其實Jasnah要翻譯成"雅絲娜"才對(明日奈?)，Jezrien也應該唸成"耶斯倫"而不是"加斯倫"啊w

  註3：題外話，說到正確唸音，其實Adonalsium的音節是Adon-alsium，所以應該唸成"雅頓亞西"(或者像群組都叫阿冬欸咻)

Alethi phonetics have semitic and middle eastern origins. Two weirdest consonants for English speakers are the “kh” (pronounced as the Hebrew letter het) and the “j” (y-sound). In Azish the “kk” or “qq” (e.g. in Tashikk) is the Arabic glottal stop.

 

如果未來出了一本「羅沙世界手冊」，裡面會包括「精靈指南」。

A "spren guide" may be included in a potential "Roshar worldbook".

 

泰爾丹篇 Taldain

泰爾丹是科技最進步的星球。它同時因為碎神而變得極端孤立。

Taldain is the most technologically advanced planet. It is also extremely isolated because of it's Shard.

 

在<白沙>第一卷中的世界設定很少；第二卷中會加入更多世界觀的元素。

The worldbuilding in White Sand Volume 1 fell short; there will be much more worldbuilding in Volume 2.

 

輓星篇 Threnody

如果布蘭登有寫輓星小說，它大概會比其他的故事更骯髒醜陋一些。

If and when Brandon writes a Threnody novel, it would likely be grittier than his other stories.

 

霍德不在<地獄森林之塞倫絲的幽影>之中。(那請問最後一頁那個「模樣油膩的傢伙」到底是誰啊???)

Hoid is not in Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell.

 

環日初星篇 First of the Sun

人類無法藉由食用帕特吉的蟲子取得力量，但是「可能有別的方法存在」。

Humans can’t gain powers by eating the worms on Patji, but “there might be something more there”.

 

泛寰宇篇 General Cosmere

意識之影是在真正死亡前的人們的幻影。

Cognitive shadows are the shadows of the people they were pre-death.

 

意識之影可以是實體也可以是非實體的。(不是新消息，我們已經知道幽影跟神將都算是意識之影了)

Cognitive shadows can be physical and non-physical.

 

有些進入意識界的方法(例如異召術和碎池)能讓你的實體界自我完全被帶入/帶出意識界。其他的方法(例如魂術)更像是某種"星光體投射"，但這些可能還是很危險。

  註：星光體投射又稱為魂靈投射，是某種把靈魂從肉體中分離出來，之後再置回的實驗，有點類似操縱性的靈魂出竅。不過這東西還沒被科學證實。

Some ways of entering the Cognitive Realm (e.g. Elsecalling and Shardpools) cause your physical self to be brought fully into/out of the Cognitive Realm. Other ways (e.g. Soulcasting) is more “astral projection-y”, but these can still be dangerous.

 

寰宇中的死亡是一種二階式的過程。靈魂不會立刻崩潰；它的紀錄會逗留一陣子。

Death in the Cosmere is a two-stage process. The spirit doesn't immediately break down; there's a record of it that lingers.

 

載體(的心智)一定會被碎力的原旨給同化，但這點是可以被拖延的，取決於這個人的想法跟他有多努力抵抗。

A vessel will always be pulled into line with the Shard's intent, but this can be delayed depending on the individual and how hard they resist.

 

有些碎神是被其他碎神吸引的；有些則不是。

Some Shards are drawn to one another; some are not.

 

基本上碎神可以擺脫極端暴力的物理現象(例如黑洞碰撞)，取決於情況如何。

Shards can generally shrug off incredibly violent physical phenomena (like black holes colliding), depending on circumstances.

 

我們已經看過雄心的影響，因為發生在祂身上的事情對寰宇的許多地方造成了騷亂。他不說我們是在哪裡看到的。

We have seen Ambition's influence, as what happened to him had ramifications across many places in the Cosmere. Won't say where exactly we've seen it.

 

憎惡跟和諧都知悉對方的存在並且對彼此感到非常警戒，但理由不一樣。

Odium and Harmony are both aware of one another and wary of the other, for different reasons.

 

一個星球如果有著更多知悉寰宇的人，會更傾向發展星際旅行。(其實這很合理啊，如果知道外面有著跟我們一樣的生命，誰不想去探索呢)

Planets with more cosmere-aware people naturally push for space travel.

 

寰宇版的"希修斯之船"：就算區塊被替代，一個物體仍可以保留意識上的身分---取決於有思想的存在是否將其視為新的個體。

  註：希修斯之船是一個哲學問題。簡述：假設有一艘船，它的一個零件被汰換了，我們仍然會認為它是同一艘船；但如果某天它原初所有的零件都被汰換掉了，那它是否還是原本的那艘船呢？這是一個取代與身分存續的哲學思辨。而在寰宇中，身分取決於周圍的個體怎麼看待這個物件的存在。

The 'Ship of Theseus' in the cosmere: a thing can retain it's cognitive identity if parts are replaced - depends on whether thinking beings view it as something new or not.

 

類似地球的生命在許多沒有碎神的星球中也已經發展出來了，但如果有碎神存在則會特別明顯。這是經驗學習曲線的緣故。

  註：經驗學習曲線，大概就是「實踐出真知」，越做越幹練的一種概念。(小舖這篇科普力十足啊啊啊)

Earth-like life has developed on many planets without Shards, but it is particularly common where Shards are present. This is for the sake of controlling the learning curve.

 

<無垠秘典>的星座地圖是創造後放在銀光中的。它呈現的是在一個未被透漏的地點(不是銀光)所看見的局部夜空視野。那是一幅獻給一個遊歷過寰宇大部分地方的旅客的壁畫。星座的名字分別是(從輓星順時針方向) 悼念者座、龍座、漁人座、捐贈者座、油燈座、騎士座、還有孤樹座。(除了它們呈現的還有更多細節) 這些星座奠基於這個旅客的觀察/知識---而非當地作畫者的認知。並不是所有星體在寰宇中都是實體的。(還有其他的相關細節) --- 語出 艾薩克-史都華

The Arcanum Unbounded constellation map was created to reside in Silverlight. It represents a partial view of the night sky from an unrevealed location (not Silverlight). It is a mural painted for a patron who has traveled throughout much of the Cosmere. Constellation names are (clockwise from Threnody) the Mourner, the Dragon, the Fisherman, the Giver, the Lamp, the Knight, and the One Tree. (plus more details on what they represent) They are based on observations/knowledge of the patron- not the locals from the location where the painting was made. Not all stars are physically within the Cosmere. (other related details) - Isaac Stewart

以下支援原圖

有關上面所講的細節，沒有多到需要重新翻譯(好累w)，主要整理各星座的意義：

• 淺顯易懂派：輓星=哀悼；羅沙=碎刃師；納西斯=吐駐氣
• 賽耳：注意，賽耳不在油燈上，而是油燈口，這暗示了當地的魔法是"流瀉出來的"
• 泰爾丹：孤樹，指的是當地碎神(自主)的鎖國(其實是鎖星)政策
• 環日初星：就漁夫，沒什麼意思(WTF)
• 司卡德利亞：因為空間太擠，根本沒有星座(藉口怎麼一個比一個爛)

 

取決於靈的話，有幾個燦軍師團會喜歡鎔金傑克(Allomancer Jak)。

  註：鎔金傑克就是<執法鎔金>的傳紙(=報紙，但司卡德利亞不會叫"報紙")裡面，"愛塔尼亞深坑歷險記"的那個主角。<無垠秘典>裡面有收錄幾期的鎔金傑克故事。

Depending on the spren, a few Orders of the Radiants would have liked Allomancer Jak once.

 

紅銅雲可以防止聆聽者變換節奏，但安撫者沒辦法。

A Coppercloud can prevent a Listener from attuning a rhythm, but a Soother can't.

 

銀在寰宇中有特別的地位。

Silver has a role in the Cosmere.

 

埃金屬/諧金的反應牽涉到了一些物質，能量和授能之間的有趣互動。

The reaction of ettmetal/harmonium involves some interesting interactions between matter, energy, and investiture.

 

宵血要用授能餵養，但不會因此強化。

Nightblood feeds on investiture, but isn't strengthened by it.

 

我們最後會看到一個角色變成躍界者。

We will eventually get to see a character as they become a worldhopper.

 

獲得有管道取得更多的無鎖金屬意識。

  註：無鎖/開放式金屬意識又稱為秘璇(Medallion)，是一種任何人都能碰觸，並且取得授予的金屬意識。將會在BoM裡面提到。

Hoid has access to more unkeyed metalminds.

 

有更多非載體，而且跟霍德一樣老的人物仍然活著，但數量不多。"信件"的收信人是其中之一。

There are other non-vessels around who are the same age as Hoid, but not many. The recipient of "the Letter" is one of them.

 

其他有的沒的 Meta

布蘭登會從哲學寫作中得到靈感。(不意外，你可以回頭看看寰宇主系列10裡面的介紹)

Brandon gets inspiration from philosophical writings.

 

有計畫做所有寰宇書的十周年紀念版。雙W系列(瓦跟偉恩)可能會兩本配成一本，颶光系列的書則應該會拆成兩本(一起出售)

  註：聽說<引誓>英國版要打破出版慣例拆成兩本了XD；台灣：蛤甚麼拆書？很難喔？

Plans to do 10th anniversary editions of all Cosmere books. Wax & Wayne stories will probably be paired two per book while Stormlight books will probably be split in two (sold together).

 

布蘭登怎麼決定什麼時候分享資訊，什麼時候RAFO？ 山姆：這篇專題我放到四月的教條統整中翻譯

How does Brandon decide when to share info and when to RAFO?

 

布蘭登會考慮把寰宇的標誌放在寰宇作品上。

Brandon will consider putting the Cosmere logo on Cosmere books

 

布蘭登考慮過一個筆名，叫做"溫-山德森"

Brandon considered the pen name Winn Sanderson.

 

<陣學師>，原本是被放在寰宇裡面的作品，是設計要來展現靈魂界個體還有它們怎麼運作的。

The Rithmatist, which was originally set in the Cosmere, was designed to showcase Spiritual Realm entities and how they work.

 

布蘭登喜歡他的作品被改編成動畫作品，不過他覺得這在經濟上是不可行的。

Brandon is on board with animated adaptations of his work, but doesn't believe it is financially feasible.

 

======== 

終於結束了(癱軟)

不知不覺學了一大堆奇怪的東西啊！！！

喜歡這個系列的朋友，期待你能在下方留言回饋一些感想，或者提出更多自己的問題

有機會我們也可以拿去問山神噢XD
