八版圣典节译：噪音战士

The origin of the Noise Marines goes back to the days and nights when Fulgrim and his Emperor's Children first heeded the silky whispers of Slaanesh, just before the outbreak of the Horus Heresy. Claiming inspiration from the tribesmen of Davin, Horus introduced Fulgrim and his chief lieutenants to the practice of elaborate feasting and drinking, including the use of exotic narcotics and indulgence in other pleasurable diversions. 

噪音战士的起源要追溯到福格瑞姆和帝皇之子军团首次注意到色孽轻柔低语的时刻，那时是在荷鲁斯叛乱爆发之前不久。荷鲁斯声称自己从达文世界的部落民那里得到了启发，便向福格瑞姆和他的首席副官们介绍了精心制作的佳肴和酒水，他们在宴席上还使用了奇异的麻醉剂，并且沉溺于其他令人愉悦的消遣。

Entranced by the ecstatic celebrations, the officers of the Emperor's Children took these debased customs back to the rest of their warriors. In this way, the cult of Slaanesh took root in the Legion. Ever since then, the Emperor's Children have sought to indulge every excess and depravity they can imagine, pushing the boundaries of their minds as far as they can as they hone their bodies to the limit of blissful endurance. 

帝皇之子的军官们着迷于这种令人狂喜的庆祝活动，他们将这些恶劣低贱的风俗带回军团，教授给其余的战士们。色孽教派由此在帝皇之子军团中扎下了根。从那时起，帝皇之子们就开始纵容他们所能想象到的一切放纵和堕落，他们尽可能地拓展突破自己的意识边界，同时刺激自己的身体以获取无上极乐。

As just one example of the rewards granted by the Prince of Pleasure to those who worship him, a Noise Marine's hearing is a thousand times more sensitive than normal. They can distinguish the subtlest pitch in tone and volume, but are only able to enjoy the most deafening of cacophonies. Such raucous sensory input electrifies the Noise Marine's brain, causing extreme emotional stimulation that makes all other sensations seem pale and worthless. The louder and more discordant the noise, the more extreme the emotional reaction provoked. Only the din of battle and screams of the dying can truly stir a Noise Marine's attention for long. On the battlefield, his mind ceases to function normally and instead becomes a mere receptacle for the sensations ignited by the music of the apocalypse, thrilling to hear the shrieks of the wounded as they dance upon the path of destruction. 

噪音战士的听力比凡人敏锐千倍，这是欢愉王子赐给自己的崇拜者们的礼物之一。他们可以分辨出最细微的音调和音量，但只能欣赏最震耳欲聋的杂音。这种刺耳的感官输入能激活噪音战士的大脑，造成极端的情感刺激，令其他任何感觉都显得苍白和毫无价值。噪音越是响亮与不和谐，所引发的情绪反应就越极端。只有战斗的喧嚣和垂死者的惨叫才能真正长时间地吸引噪音战士的注意力。在战场上，噪音战士们的大脑会停止正常运作，取而代之的只是一个容器，用来容纳由启示录（般灾难）的乐章所点燃的感觉。他们在毁灭之路上翩翩起舞，激动狂喜地听着伤者们的尖叫声。

Regardless of faction, Noise Marines wear armour painted in various bold colours, as their senses are so distorted that only the most extravagant shades and patterns register to their minds. Though the staccato bark and blast of the boltgun is music to the Noise Marine's ears, many specialise in the use of a variety of outlandish sound-based weapons. The most common of these is the sonic blaster. The champions of these twisted hedonists instead use the blastmaster and the doom siren, each of which produces a series of deafeningly loud attacks that disintegrate the target with extreme-frequency psychosonic waves。 

无论属于哪个阵营的噪音战士都穿着涂有各种醒目颜色的动力甲，因为他们的感觉是如此扭曲，以至于只有最奢华放肆的色调和图案才会在他们的脑海中留下印象。虽然在噪音战士的耳中，不连贯的枪声和爆弹枪（射出的爆矢弹）的爆炸声也是音乐，但他们当中许多人都专门使用各种基于声音的古怪武器，其中最常见的是声波爆裂炮。这些扭曲享乐主义者中的佼佼者则是使用爆裂大师和毁灭汽笛——这两种武器都能产生一系列震耳欲聋的高声噪音攻击，用极端频率的灵能声波瓦解目标。

SONIC WEAPONRY 

声波武器

The weapons of the Noise Marines are surreal indeed, so peculiar that their energies can blast through solid walls without losing potency. They are not fired by the twitch of a trigger so much as played like hellish musical instruments, their bursts of psychically resonating noise sliding, thumping and screeching across a dizzying spectrum of sound. By holding his ground, a Noise Marine can coax a deeper, more sustained frequency, or a discordant wail that can literally shake its target apart. Alternatively, should the wielder be overcome with the need to taste the deathly results of his sonic barrages first hand, he can let fly a wave of crippling harmonics even as he strides towards his victims. These salvoes of killing noise hammer the enemy with explosive crescendos that can burst eyeballs and rupture internal organs no matter how well protected the target. 

事实上，噪音战士的武器也是离奇怪诞的，它们的能量如此奇特，以至于可以穿透坚固的墙壁而不会失去效力。这些武器的进攻方法并非是扣动扳机开火，而是像地狱乐器一样被演奏出来。它们爆发出的灵能共鸣噪音在一个令人眩晕的音谱上滑动、重击和尖叫。通过坚守住阵地，噪音战士能够哄出更为低沉持久的（声音）频率，或是一阵能将目标震碎的不和谐哀嚎。或者，倘若持用者迫切地想要体验音波轰击所带来的致命后果的话，他甚至能在大步冲向受害者时发出一阵具有严重危害性的谐波。这种杀戮性噪音的奇袭能用爆炸性的渐强音重创敌人，无论后者的保护措施多么完善，这种进攻都能令其眼球爆开，内脏破裂。
