八版圣典节译：混沌终结者

Chaos Terminators are heavily armoured veterans clad in debased suits of Tactical Dreadnought armour. They form the elite of their masters' warbands, for though they are ponderous compared to their power armour-clad comrades, nothing short of a dedicated anti-tank laser can stop a Terminator in full stride. These seasoned killers often act as the personal guards of an esteemed champion of Chaos, enforcing the commands of their leader with pitiless efficiency and taking their pick of the spoils after each victory. They tend to be egotistical, brutish and crude, using their physical prowess and the favour of their lord to intimidate other members of their warband. Far from resenting such behaviour, most Chaos Space Marines simply plot to bring about the day when they can abuse such power for themselves. 

混沌终结者是装甲厚重的老兵，他们披挂着破旧的战术无畏动力甲。这些老兵组成了混沌战帮中的精锐部队，尽管与身穿动力甲的战友们相比，他们显得笨重，但只有专用的反坦克激光炮才能阻止全速前进的终结者们。这些经验丰富的杀手们经常会担任某位倍受敬畏的混沌冠军的私人护卫，他们以无情的效率执行着自己领袖的命令，并且在每次获胜后他们都要挑选战利品。他们往往是自私、野蛮且粗鲁的混沌星际战士，依靠自己强悍的体力和领主对他们的偏爱来威胁恐吓战帮中的其他成员。但大多数混沌星际战士们并不怨恨这种行为，他们只是计划着有朝一日让自己也可以滥用这种力量。

As any Space Marine will recount, a suit of Terminator armour is an ancient and sacred artefact to be reverently maintained. The armour is massively bulky and contains a full array of fibre bundles and adamantine rods to support the heavy-gauge plasteel and ceramite plates that form the outer carapace. Legend has it that the Crux Terminatus emblazoned on each suit's shoulder incorporates a fragment of the Emperor's own blessed armour. Each Chapter can muster only a hundred or so of these suits, and not all of their systems are properly understood, as their workmanship is from a bygone age. Nonetheless, those veterans given the honour of wearing one of these masterpieces to war are the most formidable foot soldiers in the Imperium. 

就像所有星际战士们所叙述的那样，一套终结者动力甲是一件被虔诚维护着的古老神圣造物。这种动力甲体积庞大，（内部）拥有全套的（电子肌肉）纤维束和精金柱棒（构成的框架），以此来支撑组成外部装甲的厚重塑钢板与陶钢层。根据传说，装饰在每一套终结者动力甲肩部的终结者十字中都包含了一块帝皇本人被祝福铠甲的碎片。每个战团只能收集起大约一百套终结者动力甲，而且帝国并不能正确理解这种装备的全套系统，因为它们的制造技术来自久远的过去。无论如何，那些被给予穿着此类杰作去参战的荣耀的老兵们都是帝国中最可畏的步兵。

The war suit worn by a Chaos Terminator, on the other hand, is as corrupt and twisted as the traitor within. Where once Imperial insignia were emblazoned upon its pauldrons and greaves, leering death's heads and the eye of Horus now stare accusingly at those brave enough to look upon them. Spiked trophy racks protrude from massive shoulders, the skulls of the enemy a barbaric testament to their wearer's martial prowess. Helmets have grown into bestial masks that sprout great tusks and razored horns, many of which have fused directly into the skulls of their wearers. When twinned with the stomping, heavy gait typical of all Terminators, these adornments conspire to give the impression of a slab-muscled, predatory hulk searching for its next meal. 

另一方面，混沌终结者所穿戴着的动力甲就像其内部的叛徒那样遭到了腐化和扭曲。这些动力甲去除了原本装饰在肩甲和胫甲上的帝国徽章，替换成了邪视着前方的死者头颅和荷鲁斯之眼标志——这些“装饰”以怪罪的眼光盯着那些足够勇敢到仰头看着他们的人们。带有尖刺的战利品架从巨大的肩甲上伸出，敌人的头骨是穿戴者武力的野蛮证明。头盔已经长成了野兽般的面具，并生巨大的象牙和剃刀般的尖角，许多头盔直接与佩戴者的头骨融合在一起。当终结者们典型的沉重跺步与这些装饰物合而为一时，给人的感觉便是一头肌肉发达的掠食巨兽在寻找自己的下一顿美餐。
