八版圣典节译：怪咖小子

Weirdboyz are psychically powerful Orks who act as focal points for the energy subconsciously generated by their greenskin comrades, energy that binds them together with a common purpose. These Oddboyz resonate with the power of sheer Orkiness, and the more Orks there are nearby, the higher the charge held within their bodies. 

怪咖小子是灵能强悍的兽人，它们的绿皮同类潜意识中产生的能量（就是其将兽人们凝聚起来，去追求相同的目标），就是以这些个体为集中点。怪咖小子们会与纯粹的兽人力量产生共鸣，周围的兽人数量越多，它能汲取到体内的能量就越庞大。

Unfortunately, Weirdboyz struggle to control this build-up of psychic power. Even a close-run squig-eating contest between two rowdy Orks will cause waves of energy to pulse powerfully through any Weirdboy who strays near. Lights flash around his head, sparks fly from his eyes, and raw power starts to dribble from his mouth, nose and ears. Unless the Weirdboy finds some way to release this pent-up energy his head will explode, frequently detonating the heads of nearby Orks into the bargain. This can be highly inconvenient. 

但不幸的是，怪咖小子们难以控制住这种灵能力量的积累。哪怕是两只吵闹的兽人进行了一场势均力敌的史古格吞食比赛，产生的能量波也能穿透周围任何怪咖小子的躯体。怪咖小子们的头上便会闪烁起电光，眼中冒出火花，口鼻和双耳中也会涌出生猛的能量。除非怪咖小子们能找到方法释放出这股被压制的力量，否则它的颅脑就会爆炸，而且通常也会引爆周围（其他）兽人的脑袋。这会是非常麻烦的情况。

Any Weirdboy lucky enough to reach maturity will have learned how to release this power in controlled blasts. Though this makes the Weirdboy feel fantastic, it can cause a messy and untimely death for anyone in his vicinity. For this reason, Weirdboyz live in special huts away from the other Boyz, and are not allowed to wander about unless they are wearing warning bells and escorted by an entourage, which inevitably includes the strangest and most disturbed of all the greenskins in the tribe. 

而任何幸运到足以发育成熟的怪咖小子，都将学会如何以可控爆发的方式释放出力量。虽然这会让怪咖小子感觉极好，但也会给周围的生物们造成混乱，（甚至）导致后者们早逝。因此，怪咖小子们都是居住在远离其他兽人小子的特殊棚屋中，除非戴上警铃并有随行者——其中不可避免地包括了整个部落中最为怪异和精神异常的绿皮——陪同，否则它们将不被允许四处走动。

When an Ork warband advances upon the enemy, there is much chanting, hurling of insults, stamping of feet, and bellowing of war cries. The surge of psychic energy generated by all of this behaviour resonates through a Weirdboy until, thrumming with power, he goes into a deep and terrifying battle-trance. His eyes pop and his limbs flail as he storms towards the enemy, Waaagh! energy crackling from his copper staff as the chanting increases in urgency and volume. When the surge reaches its excruciating peak, the Weirdboy will direct the resultant discharge to great effect. - Crackling green energies blast enemies to pieces or stir the warlike nature of those greenskins nearby to a fever pitch. The Weirdboy can transport allies across the battlefield in an instant, or give voice to the terrifying roar of Mork himself. However the roiling Waaagh! energies are manifested, those Orks who accompany a Weirdboy to war are guaranteed a good show. 

当一支兽人战帮向着敌人挺进时，其队伍中会有大量的呼吼、谩骂、跺脚声和战吼。这些行为所产生的灵能力量涌动，都会在怪咖小子们身上引发共鸣，直到其浑身充满力量，进入一种深度且恐怖的战斗狂热状态。在冲向敌人的同时，怪咖小子们的双眼会鼓起突出，四肢胡乱摆动，随着他们念诵咒语的速度加快、声调提高，手中的铜杖也闪烁起噼啪作响的Waaagh! 能量。随着能量涌动达到令人痛苦的峰值，怪咖小子会引导释放出能量，以造成显著的效果——用噼啪作响的绿色能量将敌人炸成碎片，或者将周围兽人的好战本性引至狂热。怪咖小子们能将友军瞬间传送到战场各处，还能发出毛哥本尊的恐怖怒吼。不过，伴随翻涌着的Waaagh! 被显化成形，随同怪咖小子参战的兽人们也必然会大显身手。

WARPHEADS 

怪奇头子

Warpheads are Weirdboyz who have survived enough battles for their minds to become totally saturated with psychic energy. Full of manic fervour and overconfidence, Warpheads recklessly plunge into the thickest fighting and discharge searing blasts of energy into the foe just for the hell of it. 

怪奇头子是已经经历过足够多的战斗，思维意识都完全被灵能力量所浸透的怪奇小子。由于心满是狂热和自负，怪奇头子们会不顾一切地冲入最激烈的战斗，向敌人释放出炽热的能量爆炸而只为取乐。

Orks have severely addictive personalities that can swiftly lead them towards self-destructive tendencies. For Warpheads, this is expressed by a desire to experience the near-overwhelming build-up of Waaagh! energies as often as they can, riding the waves of annihilating power to the very brink before unleashing them in a spectacularly cathartic -and catastrophically obliterative - blast. Many Warpheads gather a following of like-minded Orks who are highly entertained by these destructive antics; these greenskins view the occasional case of exploding head as a small price to pay in order to watch Space Marines get stomped flat by giant green feet, Aeldari melted into glowing goo, and mobs catapulted into battle from thin air. 

因为极度易于成瘾的性格，兽人很快就会陷入自我毁灭的倾向。在怪奇头子身上，这种现象就表现为渴望尽可能频繁地体验Waaagh!能量近乎压倒性的积累过程——他们会将湮灭之力汇聚到极限，然后释放出一股壮观宣泄——且具备灾难般毁灭性——的能量爆发。很多怪奇头子身边都聚集起一群志同道合的兽人，观赏这种毁灭性滑稽表演令后者们极为乐在其中；在这些绿皮看来，只要能看见星际战士被绿色巨足踏为碎片、灵族被融化为发光的粘液、成群的敌人被突然从稀薄的空气中丢到战场上，偶发的颅脑爆炸也不过是小小的代价。

Most Warbosses will keep a Warphead or two about as living artillery pieces, or to restrict certain psychically potent enemies - such as the Aeldari - from `tryin funny stuff' during a battle. Other, more superstitious greenskin leaders - especially those of the Snakebites - even follow the Warpheads' ravings as sage strategic advice, believing their utterances to be sent from Gork and Mork themselves. Needless to say, this is a policy that meets with wildly varying levels of success. 

大多数战争老大会留下一两名怪奇头子，用作生体火炮，或者阻止某些灵能强悍的敌人（比如灵族）在战斗中“耍些有趣的手段”。至于其他更为迷信的战争老大——尤其是属于蛇咬氏族的那些，甚至会把怪奇头子的胡言乱语视作明智的战略建议，相信对方的疯话是搞毛二哥本尊的命令。至于这种策略那起伏不定的成功率，自然也是无需赘言的。
