纯洁封印lex

Purity seals are borne by various Imperial troops, applied to weapons, armor and vehicles. They take the form of wax seals and parchment inscribed with declarations and prayers. They are prominently displayed on armour, and symbolize that the wearer is uncontaminated by the slightest taint of Chaos.

各种帝国部队都会佩戴纯洁封印，封印会被贴在武器，盔甲和载具上。它们采用了的蜡封与刻有宣言和祈祷的羊皮纸的形状。它们会被显著地佩戴在盔甲上，象征着使用者不存在哪怕最轻微的混沌侵蚀。

Space Marine星际战士纯洁封印

A Purity Seal takes the form of prayers or litanies inscribed onto paper and then affixed to the Space Marine armour with red or black wax usually then coated with protective sealants or for more permanence electrum casings.Often it is responsibility of the Chapter's serfs to affix purity seals. it is the It can be affixed to any part of a Space Marine armour or weapon. Other common places include leg plates and the rims or tops of the shoulder pads. Purity Seals should also not be confused with the prayer sheets and paper litanies worn by the Black Templars, sometimes in large fluttering layers on their armour. These are specific to that Chapter and part of their own systems of faith and honour and not taken from the teachings of the Codex Astartes.

纯洁封印的形状是抄写着祈祷或者连祷的纸条，之后这些纸条会被人们使用红色或黑色的蜡粘贴在星际战士的动力甲上，之后它们会被涂上保护性的密封药剂，或者覆盖上更为持久的金银合金外壳。通常战团仆役们会负责粘贴封印，封印可以贴在星际战士武器或动力甲的任何部位，其他常见部位包括腿甲以及肩甲的顶端或边缘。不过，纯洁封印不能与黑色圣殿星际战士们穿在动力甲上的祈祷经卷和连祷纸条混为一谈，有时候这些经卷会大片地粘在黑色圣殿星际战士动力甲的表面，在战斗中随风舞动。纯洁封印在各个战团都有自己具体的特点，是战团信仰和荣誉体系的一部分，而且（在这方面）并不遵循阿斯塔特圣典的教导（机仆：说实话，蓝宝书也不可能详细到告诉你这玩意儿怎么贴，毕竟它只供参考…）

It's a mark of a Space Marine pure faith or morality in the eyes of the Emperor and the Chapter. Such seals are only ever awarded by the Chapter’s Chaplains, bestowed onto Space Marine before battle as the Chaplain bestows a blessing onto the ranks of Space Marines. In many Chapters, this is a solemn ceremony accompanied by chanted litanies in honour of the Primarch and the Emperor. This can be because they are about to undertake a special task or mission or because they are not expected to survive. Unlike other Honours the right to bear a Purity Seal comes only after a Space Marine has worn it in battle and proven his courage to live up to its ideals. Typically a Chaplain will bestow a Purity Seal on a Space Marine with a specific blessing, such as killing a certain foe or number of enemies for the Emperor, or completing his duty even when mortally wounded. If the Space Marine returns successful, he has proven the blessing true. He is considered to have the favour of the Emperor and is granted the right to wear the Purity Seal on his armour permanently so that others might recognised his faith and devotion.

纯洁封印是帝皇或者战团眼中一名星际战士的纯洁的信仰或者道德的记号，这些封印只由战团的牧师们授予（其他星际战士），在战斗前，牧师们会向战斗兄弟们赠予祝福，这时纯洁封印也会被一并赠予。在许多战团中，这是一个隆重的典礼，伴随着对于荣耀帝皇与原体的连祷的吟诵。这是因为他们将会接受一项特殊的任务，或者因为他们很可能有去无回。不同于其他的荣誉，只有当星际战士在战斗中赢得这份荣誉并且证明自己拥有不辜负这份理想的勇气之后，他才有权佩戴纯洁封印。通常牧师在赠予封印的同时也会一并送上具体的祝福，比如为帝皇杀死某个敌人，或者消灭敌人的数量，或者是哪怕受了致命伤也能完成任务。如果一位星际战士凯旋而归，那他就证明了祝福是真实的。他会被认为得到了帝皇的偏爱，并被授予在动力甲上永久性佩戴纯洁封印的权力，这样其他人就能识别出他的信仰与献身精神。

Each Purity Seal carries with it a different invocation of blessing as devised by the Chaplain depending on his assessment of the Space Marine own purity. The exact nature of the blessing depends on the Chaplain, and is chosen when the blessing is bestowed. Common blessings include such things as that no xenos blade shall piece the brothers flesh; once within the brother’s sight, no enemy shall live to see another day; or the brother’s boltgun shall never grow cold from firing or his chainsword dry from blood once the enemy has been encountered. The effect of these blessings is mostly to spur the Space Marine in an effort to prove his valour to his Chapter and to the Emperor by bringing the blessing to pass, and it may even cause him to change his tactics or become reckless with bravery. A Battle-Brother can also draw strength from his Purity Seal by reciting its prayer and reaffirming his sense of duty to his Chapter and to the Emperor. It could also mean resisting some manner of subversion if it would break the nature of the Purity Seal’s blessing, granting the Space Marine another burst of effort fuelled by his unbreakable sense of honour. Finally, those that bear a Purity Seal are recognized for their devotion and loyalty, in a similar way to the Imperialis, and as a result respected for their achievements.

每个封印都引用了不同的祝福语，这些祝福语由牧师根据他对星际战士纯洁程度的评估而设计。祝福语的具体性质由牧师决定，（牧师）会在赠予祝福时进行选择。通常祝福语包含如下内容：战斗兄弟们之躯不为异形的剑刃所伤；战斗兄弟所见之敌皆为亡魂；或者一旦与敌人接战，战斗兄弟的爆弹枪枪声不止，链锯剑剑刃不停。祝福语的作用主要是通过带来祝福以激励星际战士努力向帝皇和战团证明自己的价值，它甚至可能让星际战士改变策略或变得勇敢无畏。通过背诵封印上的祷告词和重申自己对于战团和帝皇的责任感，星际战士也能从封印中获取力量。这也意味着星际战士要抵制某些颠覆破坏行为——倘若这些行为讲破坏纯洁封印的祝福的话，在牢不可破的荣誉感的推动下，星际战士们会再次奋斗（来实现目标）。最终，佩戴着纯洁封印的星际战士们会因自己的献身精神与忠诚而得到认可，这在帝国（其他地方）也是相似的，而且他们会因自己的成就而得到尊重。
