polish saber 选译之一

Holding the sword

握剑

The saber is to be held in a “locked key” fashion , by inserting the index finger in that hollow which is found in its cross(192),so that the grip is fast and secure , able to resist violent action , and one doesn’t lose the grip on it , which could easily happen , if one held it in another way , or tried to play with it like he was using a rapier . Antoinio Marcelli

刀要以“锁钥匙”的方式握着，把食指插入十字（192）上的凹处，这样握起来既快又安全，能抵抗暴力，而且不会失去控制，如果用其他方式握着，或者像使用rapier一样使用它，很容易发生这种情况。安托尼奥马尔切利（Antoinio Marcelli）

This finger aids the thumb in all its workings ; it also leads all the cuts , and as such is called the leading finger ; and because quite often it is put into the ring or loop , we can also call it the ring finger . Michal Starzewski

这根手指帮助拇指完成所有的工作；它也引导所有的切割，因此被称为leading finger（即食指，译者注）；因为它经常被放入环或环中，我们也可以称之为ring finger（这个词的意思是无名指，但在此处仍然指食指，译者注）。米夏尔斯塔泽夫斯基（Michal Starzewski）

Marcelli refers to the most secure grip of the saber as the Locked-Key grip , and correlates with Starzewski’s advice . In this grip , the hand makes a solid fist around the hilt ,while the thumb is placed through a thumb-ring(if present) , or pressed tightly against the knuckles of the index finger(193) . Both Starzewski and Marcelli make reference to a loop , possibly a leather loop , for the index finger . When moving the sword , the thumb and index finger help to direct it . When actually making a cut , the middle , ring , and pinky fingers can tighten upon the hilt to deliver more strength into the attack .

马尔切利将马刀最安全的握法称为锁钥匙握法，这与斯塔泽夫斯基的建议相一致。在这种握法中，手在刀柄周围握紧拳头，拇指通过拇指环放置(如果有的话)，或者紧紧地压在食指的指关节上(193)。斯塔泽夫斯基和马尔切利都提到了食指的一个环，可能是一个皮革环。当移动剑的时候，拇指和食指帮助引导它。当实际进行切割时，中指、无名指和小指可以紧握刀柄，为攻击提供更多的力量。

192 Maybe it’s a finger ring in this case , this would suggest an Italian Storta is the weapon Marcelli writes about . –Translator’s note-

192  也许在这个例子中是一个指环，这就意味着意大利Storta是马尔切利所写的武器。–翻译笔记

193 Starzewski refers to the index finger as the “ ring finger “

193  斯塔泽夫斯基将食指称为“无名指”

Heussler depicts the occasional use of a much looser grip , where the thumb and index finger are pinching the hilt and the last three fingers are loose . This can gain range in an attack , but should be used sparingly because it is not a secure way to grip the sword and is susceptible to beats .

赫斯勒（Heussler）描述了偶尔使用的更宽松的握法，拇指和食指捏着刀柄，最后三根手指放松。这可以在攻击中获得攻击距离，但应该谨慎使用，因为这不是一种安全的握剑方式，而且容易受到打击。

The left hand , or off-hand as it is also called , can be placed on the hip , open along the back , tucked in belt by the thumb near the stomach , or limp and near the chest . The left hand can be used to come to grips with an opponent , but otherwise should stay out of the fight so as not to be struck incidentally(194).

左手，或者也被称为离手（off-hand），可以放在臀部，沿着背部打开，用拇指夹紧腰带靠近腹部，或者放松的靠近胸部。左手可以用来抓住对手，但除此之外，左手应该远离战斗，以免被偶然击中（194）。

194 Rapier masters such as Fabris described the use of the left hand . However , with a saber , any attempt to grab a moving blade would likely result in missing fingers . Grabs should be to the opponent’s arm or wrist .

194  法布里斯（Fabris）等rapier大师描述了左手的使用。然而，使用军刀时，任何试图抓住移动刀片的行为都可能导致手指被切掉。如果要使用左手应该去抓对方的手臂或手腕。
