【词条翻译】新年第一篇 Khazad-dum/moria

只看楼主收藏回复


Khazad-dum was the greatest of the Dwarf realms in Middle-earth. Its vast and beautiful halls lay under the Misty Mountains. From its mines came great riches and it was the only source of the precious metal called mithril. But a Balrog slept in the deeps beneath Khazad-dum, and when it awoke the Dwarves were driven from their home. The halls of Khazad-dum were taken over by Orcs and other evil creatures and it became known as Moria, the Black Chasm, and was a place of fear and dread.
卡萨都姆是中土大陆上最伟大的矮人国度。它恢弘壮丽的众多大厅就陈设在迷雾山脉之下。从它的矿脉中产出了无尽的财富,还有珍稀的特产金属叫做秘银。但是一只炎魔沉睡在卡萨都姆的地底深处,当它被唤醒时矮人们就被从他们的家园驱逐出去。卡萨都姆的厅堂被半兽人以及其它的邪恶生物占领,于是那里变成了通称的摩利亚——黑色矿坑,一个恐惧和可怖的地方。

    Down the corridor from the northern door of Hall 21, on the right-hand side, was the Chamber of Mazarbul, or the Chamber of Records. From the western door of Hall 21, a wide road led eastward and downward. The road grew narrower near the bottom and ended at an archway where it met two other corridors also coming from the east - one running straight and one coming up from the deeps. There was a guardroom at the juncture of the three corridors.
    从第21大厅北门的道路下行,在右手一侧是马萨布尔之厅,或者叫撰史之厅。 从21大厅的西门,一条宽阔的道路往东向下而去。这条路越往下越窄,在一处拱门前终结,那里会遇到同样从东而来另外两条道路——其中之一平直,而另一条从下方深处而来。在三条道路的连接处的是守卫房。
    In the Third Deep of Khazad-dum were the upper armories. Far below were the treasuries of the Dwarves. In the mines of Khazad-dum were found gold, silver, iron, beryls, pearls, opals, and other precious metals and gems. The lodes of mithril were deep under the mountains, running north toward the roots of the Redhorn.
    在卡萨都姆的地下三层是上层武器库。更低一点是矮人的宝库。在卡萨都姆的矿脉中发掘出了黄金、白银、生铁、祖母绿、珍珠、蛋白石以及其它珍稀金属和宝石。秘银矿脉在山脉下方的深处,一路向北伸向红角峰的根坻。
    On the peak of the Silvertine - which the Dwarves called Zirak-zigil - stood Durin's Tower. The tower was carved out of the living rock of the mountain and stood upon a high eyrie. A spiral staircase of many thousand steps called the Endless Stair led to the tower from the foundations of the mountain.
    在银峰的绝顶之上——矮人们称之为西拉克西吉尔山——矗立着都灵之塔。塔用山脉原生的岩石整块刻出高耸在堡垒之上。一道数千级螺旋上升的阶梯,称之为无尽之梯从山脉的根基通向高塔。
    At the western end of Khazad-dum, a flight of two hundred stairs led down to the West-gate, called the Hollin Gate. There hung the Doors of Durin, made by the Dwarf craftsman Narvi and engraved by the Elf craftsman Celebrimbor. On the doors were drawings and writings traced with ithildin, a silvery substance made from mithril. At the top was an inscription reading: "The Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Say 'Friend' and enter. I, Narvi, made them. Celebrimbor of Eregion drew these signs."
    在卡萨都姆的西头,一段两百级的阶梯下到西大门,叫做和林之门。那里安装着都灵之门,由矮人工匠纳维和精灵工匠凯勒布理鹏联手打造。大门之上的图案和文字由伊西尔丁金属绘制,一种制作自秘银的银色材质。在顶端有一段铭文写着:“摩利亚之王都灵的大门,说吧"朋友"然后进入。我,纳维,制作它们。伊瑞詹的凯勒布理鹏绘制这些符文。”
    Beneath the inscription were seven stars over a crown and a hammer and anvil. Below these were drawn two trees representing Galathilion, the Tree of the High Elves. In the middle of the door was the Star of the House of Feanor. From inside, the doors could be opened outward with a push, but from the outside they could only be opened by speaking the password: mellon, or "friend."
    铭文之下是七颗星辰悬挂在一顶王冠以及一把铁锤和铁砧之上。这些图案之下画着两棵树意指佳拉西理安——高等精灵的圣白树。门的正中间是费诺家族的星芒。从内部,这扇门可以一推向外开启;但是从外面它们只能通过说出暗语:mellon,意思是“朋友”才被开启。
    Two great holly trees stood on either side of the Hollin Gate. Sirannon, the Gate-stream, flowed through the valley in front of the gate and over a waterfall called the Stair Falls. A road ran alongside the stream from the gate and down the cliff near the waterfall. There was also a flight of stairs beside the falls.
    两株茂盛的冬青树挺立在和林之门的两边。西瓦南河—门溪—从门前峡谷穿过,而后形成的瀑布叫做天梯瀑布。一条道路与小河并行延伸从大门下行到瀑布附近的悬崖。那里亦有一段阶梯在瀑布旁边。

      History:
      历史
      Khazad-dum was founded in ancient times by Durin, theeldest of the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves. After Durin awoke in Mount Gundabad,he came south to the Dimrill Dale. There he looked into Mirrormere and saw acrown of stars appear above his head. In the caves above the dale, Durinestablished his realm.
      卡萨都姆在远古的时代由都灵建立,他是最年长的一位矮人七父。当都灵在刚达巴山醒来之后,他南行来到了丁瑞尔山谷。那里他注视着镜湖,看见了一顶星辰王冠出现在他的头上。在山谷的洞穴中,都灵建造了他的国度。
      Durin was long-lived and ruled his people for many years. He died beforethe end of the First Age, and he was laid to rest in Khazad-dum. But his linecontinued and the realm of Khazad-dum grew and expanded over the course of thecenturies. The halls were filled with light and music. The Dwarves found greatriches, including the hard, malleable, silver-colored metal called mithril,which was found nowhere else in Middle-earth. They forged weapons and wroughtmany things of beauty, and they traded their works of skill with Men for food.
      都灵寿数长久也统治了他的子民很多年。他在第一纪元结束前过世,而后被安葬在卡萨都姆。但是他的血脉延续下来,同时卡萨都姆的国度发展壮大,跨越了千万年的历程。殿堂之内灯火辉煌歌舞升平。矮人们找到了惊人的财富,包括那坚固又柔韧的银色金属名为秘银,这是中土大陆绝无仅有的发现。他们锻造武器以及制造诸多精美的东西,同时他们也和人类交易他们的巧艺制作以换取食物。
      In the Second Age, Khazad-dum reached the height of itsglory. Around the year 40, many Dwarves came to Khazad-dum from the Blue Mountains after the Dwarf cities of Nogrod and Belegost were destroyed during the War of Wrath with Morgoth at the end ofthe First Age. These Dwarves brought new skills and talents with them, and thewealth and power of Khazad-dum increased.
      在第二纪元,卡萨都姆到达了它繁盛的顶峰。大约在0040年,在第一纪末与魔苟斯的愤怒之战后,诺格洛德和贝磊勾斯特的矮人城市被毁,许多矮人从蓝色山脉来到卡萨都姆。这些矮人随着带来了新的技术和人才,因而壮大了卡萨都姆的财力和势力。
      The Elves founded the realm of Eregion on the westernside of the Misty Mountains in the year 750 of the Second Age. They engaged intrade with the Dwarves of Khazad-dum and traffic flowed in and out of theWest-gate. The two races were on friendly terms, and in particular the greatcraftsmen - Narvi of the Dwarves and Celebrimbor of the Elves - became closefriends. Together they wrought the Doors of Durin, which stood open most of the time guarded only by doorwards,for the land was at peace.
      在第二纪的750年,精灵在迷雾山脉的西侧建立了伊瑞詹领地。他们忙于和卡萨都姆的矮人进行交易而濒繁进出往来西大门。两个种族友好交往,尤其是在那伟大的工匠之间—矮人族的纳维和精灵族的凯勒布理鹏—成了亲密的朋友。他们共同打造了都灵之门。那一直常开的门在多数时间只有门卫在看守,因为那里还是和平之地。
