SANGUINARY PRIESTS
圣血牧师
Every Space Marine Chapter maintains a number of Apothecaries to safeguard its gene-seed and the health of its battle-brothers. Yet Sanguinius foresaw from the first that a shadow would fall upon his sons, and that they would require safeguarding in both body and soul as the millennia passed. He transformed the Legion's Apothecaries into Sanguinary Priests, setting them as high in honour as the Chaplains of the Reclusiam, and as vital to the spiritual guidance of the Blood Angels. Where the Chaplains are ever watchful for manifestations of the Flaw, the ceremonies performed by the Sanguinary Priests call upon the Blood Angels to embrace the Red Thirst and wrest it to their control, unleashing its strength to buttress theirs when the day is darkest.
每个星际战士战团中都保有一定数量的药剂师，他们负责保卫基因种子和解决战斗修士们的健康问题。圣吉列斯从一开始就预见到他的子嗣们将会被一片阴影所笼罩，随着数千年岁月的流逝，他们将会需要身体和灵魂两方面的保护。原体将军团中的药剂师们转变为圣血牧师，给予了他们和隐修会的牧师们同样崇高的荣誉，而对圣血天使们来说，圣血牧师们的医疗诊治也很（牧师们的）精神引导同样重要。牧师们监视着缺陷的显现，而圣血牧师们执行的仪式会号召圣血天使们拥抱红渴并将其紧紧控制住——圣血天使们会在最黑暗的日子中释放出其中的力量来支持自己。
As with the Apothecaries of other Chapters, the foremost concern of the Sanguinary Priests is to conserve the Chapter's gene-seed. If a wounded Blood Angel can be saved, the Sanguinary Priest will do his utmost to preserve his battle-brother's life. As the injured Blood Angel is returned to full fighting health, so will the gene-seed within him survive and the Chapter endure.
就像其他战团中的药剂师那样，圣血牧师们最重要的任务就是保存战团的基因种子。当一位受伤的圣血天使能被拯救时，圣血牧师们会尽最大的努力来保住战斗兄弟的生命。随着受伤的圣血天使恢复到完全能战斗的健康状况，他体内的基因种子也就幸存下来，战团也就存续了下去。
SANGUINARY NOVITIATES
圣血修士
Before they can take up the robes and chalice of the priesthood, a Blood Angel must first serve time as a Sanguinary Novitiate. Trained in the arts of surgery, they are equipped with the narthecium and reductor common to all Apothecaries, and attend to the wounded under even the heaviest enemy fire. Should a patient prove beyond saving, they provide the Emperor's mercy and extract their fallen comrade's gene-seed. Once a Novitiate proves himself, he is then properly inducted into the priesthood's hallowed ranks, where he is made privy to the order's secrets.
在他们可以穿上圣血牧师的长袍、拿起鲜血圣杯之前，一名圣血天使必须首先以圣血修士的身份进行服务。他们接受外科手术训练，配备了所有药剂师都使用的医疗器和还原（治疗）剂，并且要在哪怕最密集的敌军炮火下照料伤者。如果病人已经无法被治愈，圣血修士们就会将帝皇的仁慈给予他们，并摘取牺牲战友们的基因种子。一旦某位圣血修士证明了自己，他就会在合适的时候被纳入到圣血牧师的神圣行列，并被授予对修会中秘密的知情权。
BLOOD CHALICES
鲜血圣杯
The first blood chalices were presented to the priesthood by Sanguinius himself. Legend has it that some part of the Primarch's being was contained within these holy vessels, allowing nearby Blood Angels to hear Sanguinius' voice within their minds.
第一批鲜血圣杯是由圣吉列斯本人授予圣血牧师会的。传说声称这些神圣的容器中保存了原体的某些身体部分，这允许周围的圣血天使们在自己的意识中听到圣吉列斯的声音。
Though many of these ancient relics have been lost over the millennia, their shards are still incorporated within newly crafted vessels, and within the nartheciums of the Sanguinary Priests. Their effect upon Blood Angels battle-brothers is still electrifying, the might of their angel-winged Primarch echoing through the ages to fill them with glorious strength.
尽管在数千年的岁月中，这些古老圣物中的大多数都已经遗失了，但它们的碎片仍会被容纳到新制造的容器以及圣血牧师们的医疗器中。但它们对于圣血天使战斗修士们效果仍是令人激动的，来自他们背生天使双翼的原体的伟力穿透岁月，发出回声，为圣血天使们充满光荣的力量。
