【1d4chan翻译】无限回路
无限回路是包含在方舟灵族灵骨架构中的灵魂网络。
An Infinity Circuit is a psychic network contained in the wraithbone skeleton of an Eldar craftworld.
它可以在整个方舟之中传输灵魂能量，并为方舟上的设备提供动力。自灵族之陨始，这也成为了灵族灵魂的一种人工的来世。否则，他们将会被色孽吞噬。
They transmit psychic energy throughout the ship to power on-board devices, and since the fall of the Eldar, they also serve as artificial afterlives for Eldar souls, since otherwise they would be devoured by Slaanesh.
所有的无限回路都与网道依次相连，以形成所谓的永恒矩阵。
All Infinity Circuits are in turn linked through the Webway, forming what is known as the Eternity Matrix.
当灵族死亡时，他的灵魂会被他所佩戴的魂石捕获。
When Eldar die, their souls are trapped by the spirit stones that they wear.
之后，他的魂石会被置入他所在的方舟世界的灵骨核心之中，以引导他的灵魂进入无限回路。
These spirit stones are then placed in contact with the core of their craftworld's wraithbone skeleton, which draws the soul out and into the network.
灵魂的能量会加诸于灵骨本身，而灵魂的人格最终得以安息，永远远离色孽（只要回路保持完整——这也是方舟世界的守护者和其他武装力量存在的目的）。
The soul's energy is added to the wraithbone's own, while its "personality" finally is laid to rest, safe from Slaanesh forever (as long as the integrity of the circuit itself is maintained—that's what the craftworld's Guardians and other armed forces are for).
希望有一天，所有方舟世界的无限回路都获得了足够多的灵魂能量，从而得以在亚空间中形成一个新的灵族神祇，一个强大到足以摧毁色孽并拯救灵族的神祇。
The hope is that one day, there will be enough psychic energy contained in all of the craftworlds' Infinity Circuits that a new Eldar god will form in the Immaterium, one powerful enough to destroy Slaanesh and save the Eldar race.
无限回路也可以成为武装力量的来源。
Infinity Circuits can also be sources of soldiers.
如果真的需要，灵魂先知可以引导灵魂脱离无限回路回到魂石之中，随后被置入如幽冥护卫、幽冥领主、幽冥先知、幽冥骑士之类的幽冥构造体，甚至坦克里，重新为方舟世界而战。
If the need is truly dire, Spiritseers can guide souls out of the Infinity Circuit and back into their spirit stones, which can then be placed into wraithbone constructs like Wraithguard, Wraithlords, Wraithseers, Wraithknights and even tanks to fight for the craftworld once again.
灵族并不喜欢这样做，因为他们更希望自己的先祖得到安息。但有时，这是不得不做的事。
Eldar don't like doing this, because they prefer to leave their ancestors in peace, but sometimes it just has to be done.
在对抗虫巢舰队克拉肯并伤亡惨重后，伊扬登或许成为了使用这样的“幽灵战士”最多的方舟世界。他们让自己经历了如此多的痛苦，以至于黑暗灵族都觉得有趣。而泰伦虫族则觉得他们很美味。
Craftworld Iyanden probably uses the most such "ghost warriors" after sustaining terrible losses against Hive Fleet Kraken; they put themselves through so much angst over it that the Dark Eldar found it funny. Certain tyranids find them delicious.
绝大多数无限回路中的灵魂都不具有自主意识，他们的人格淡入背景能量之中（这种设定似乎因方舟世界而异，或者说，因作者而异）。
Most souls do not have any sort of awareness in the Infinity Circuits, their personalities essentially fading into its background energy (although like most things, it seems to vary from Craftworld to Craftworld, or rather writer to writer).
例外的是，那些被死亡赋予了特殊悲愤的灵魂会将自己的情绪延续下去。个性异常强烈的灵族灵魂，通常会是伟大的英杰，仍然保持着他们的意识，乃至可以通过灵魂先知向他们寻求建议。
An exception is made for those souls who deaths brought them exceptional grief or rage, who carry on their emotions through. The souls of Eldar with exceptionally strong personalities, typically a great hero of some kind, still maintain their awareness, and can even be consulted by Spiritseers for advice.
意识最为敏锐的是那些生命即将走到尽头的水晶先知，他们在本质上已与无限回路链接，同时在其他方面保持着完全的精神警觉。这些意识的等级大致与幽冥构造体的力量对应；你的普通的灵魂会成为幽冥护卫，狂暴不安的灵魂会成为幽冥之刃，而伟大的英雄则会成为幽冥领主。
The most aware are those Farseers who reach the end of their lifespans and become Crystal Seers, who while linked to the Infinity Circuit essentially are otherwise fully mentally alert. These levels of awareness roughly correspond to the power of their corresponding wraith-constructs; your standard soul becoming a Wraithguard, raging restless souls become Wraithblades, while great heroes become Wraithlords.
所有无限回路和世界之魂都通过永恒矩阵连接在一起。它们在某种程度上通过网道相连，但似乎又存在于其迷宫般的结构之外。
All Infinity Circuits and World Spirits are connected together through the Eternal Matrix, that binds them all together through, in part, the Webway, but seems to exist beyond its labyrinthine structure.
