AK在reddit上问答翻译（节选

AK在reddit上问答翻译，节选了我觉得有意思的，因为是网络发言，翻译的比较随便

1、

Q:十一位图书馆员中，您最喜欢哪一位？

Q:Once, you told us “all Hours swing one way or the other, but some swing further” in regard to Hour gender identity. However, we observed some Hour pronouns differing from what was previously established in CS (Chandler being he/him but also she/hers; Coils being called “Father of the Mother” in CS but being she/her in BoH. Also “Robigo” being a traditionally female deity/a protectress of the Haustorium, but using “him” in affair texts.) Are these Hours/entities possibly bi-gender or something similar?
Q:您谈起司辰的性别认同时曾说过，“所有司辰都会向某个方向摆动，但有些摆动得更远”。然而，我们观察到（BOH中）一些司辰的代词与CS中的设定有所不同（比如制烛人被称为他/他的，但也被称为她/她的；七蟠在CS中被称为‘母亲之父’，但在BOH中使用的是她/她的。此外，‘罗比戈’在神话传统中是一位女性神祇/吸器的女保护者，但在一些事件文本中，使用了‘他’。）这些司辰是否可能是双性或类似的情况？

译者注：罗比戈是罗马农业疾病的神灵或拟人化象征，正如奥卢斯·盖利乌斯（Aulus Gellius）指出的，其是一位需要安抚的恶神。但该神祇的性别一直不明确。农学作家科卢梅拉（Columella）将其视为女性，称之为罗比戈（Robigo是Robigus的女性变格），其被和小麦锈病联系在一起，该疾病呈红色或红棕色，所以出于某种模仿巫术，古代人将罗比戈的颜色定为红色，其传统祭祀用品——未断奶的小狗的内脏和血液也是红色，这让人想起罗马的特色神祗马尔斯，既是农业之神，也是流血之神。

Did I? I believe I also said that Worms were made of cheese and that we’d do a VR version of Cultist Simulator. People should treat as fiction all the fiction that happens in the fiction, and should treat things I said years ago as something I said years ago. A lot of the Enigma stuff was not only RIP but WIP and if BOOK OF HOURS contradicts it, then BOOK OF HOURS contradicts it. I can say that Robigo habitually goes by Dottore, not Dottoressa, and that I think there’s probably something in BH that describes him as the protectress of the Haustorium. People don’t fit in boxes and mushrooms sometimes fit in people.
A:我说过吗？我还说过蠕虫是由奶酪做成的，还说过我们会推出CS的VR版本。大家应该把小说中的内容都当作小说，应该把我几年前说过的事当作我几年前说过的事。许多Enigma的东西不仅RIP，还WIP了，如果BOH与它们相矛盾，那就相矛盾好了。罗比戈习惯称自己为’博士’，而非“女博士”，BOH中有提到他是吸器的‘女守护者’。人不能被装进盒子里，而蘑菇有时能假扮成人（？？？

3、
Q:how did the design of this new game shape the evolution of the Secret Histories setting? How have the ideas and themes expanded compared to its original conception in Cultist Simulator?
Q:在设计BOH的过程中，秘史的设定被如何重塑了？与 Cultist Simulator 中相比，想法和主题有何扩展？

A:the Eternity vs History dichotomy was implicit in the setting from the beginning but it took BOOK OF HOURS to make me make it explicit. But the biggest change really is that most of the history is ‘history through the eyes of specific people’.
A:永恒与历史的二分法一直潜藏在背景中，但确实，直到BOH，这才被挑明。而最大的变化是，大部分的历史都是“特定人眼中的历史”。

4、
Q:What is your favorite Wisdom? Which Wisdom do you feel best aligns with you? (And maybe the cats as well!)
Q:九大智慧中，你最喜欢的是什么？您觉得哪种最适合您？ （也许还有猫！）

A:Hushery, closely followed by Birdsong. I’ve always been an undisciplined sort of scholar but before that I’ve always been a goth.
A:静默术，紧随其后的是鸟鸣学，我一直是个散漫的学者，但更重要的是，我是个哥特铁粉

5、Q:So now that the BoH’s out in the wild which part of the game are you proudest about?
Q:BoH 已经上线了，您对游戏的哪一部分最感到自豪？

A:
……
#3 is the House itself. It’s really grown over the years, like a coral reef, and there are so many layers and stories I sometimes honestly forget it’s not a real place. The inspirations, of course, are Mont St Michel and St Michael’s Mount (two different places, in Brittany and Cornwall), but its grandfather is, of course, Gormenghast.
……
A:#3居屋本身。多年以来，它像珊瑚礁一样不断生长，层层叠叠、充满故事，以至于有时我甚至会忘了它不存在于现实。它的灵感来源是勒蒙-圣米歇尔和圣迈克尔山（分别位于布列塔尼和康沃尔），而它的‘祖父’则是歌门鬼城。

6、Q:What ideas and religions inspired you to create the lore, and how did that lore change during development?
Q:哪些想法和宗教启发您创造了lore，以及lore在开发过程中发生了怎样的变化？

A:A misspent youth reading mythology history occultism. And I was raised Christian, though I haven’t been Christian for a loooooooooong time, and it’s been pointed out that most of my work comes back to Christian themes whether I like it or not. They getcha when you’re young. Obviously that’s more explicit here with the Church of the Unconquered Sun.
A:年少时沉迷于神话、历史、神秘学。我是作为基督徒被养大的，尽管我已经很久不再是基督徒了，但有人指出，无论我愿不愿意，我的大部分作品总会回到基督教的主题。年轻时接受的影响深入骨髓。而在boh中，这个主题在”无敌太阳教会“显露地更为直白了。

Q:why do you recommend going with Nyctodromy on your first playthrough?
Q:为什么你推荐在第一次游玩中选择夜游术？

A:
Christopher Illopoly is more fun than Julian Coseley.
A:因为克里斯托弗·伊利奥波比朱利安·科赛利更有趣。

8、

Q:out of curiosity,why the Athenians are named so
Q:为什么流亡者中的雅典人如此命名?

A:It was some bit of local Russian thieves’ cant or nickname that I stumbled across, I think……
Haha! I dug up the reference and I remember now. I looked for terms in various languages which meant something like ‘trader’ or ‘slightly dodgy dealer’ for Reckoner-equivalents. IIUC, the term in Russian is of highly disputable etymology, which is always the best kind of etymology for my purposes. I don’t put these things in as Easter eggs, though it’s fun when they come across that way, more as texture and the opportunity for speculative connection
I get obsessive about research :) A bonus point for anyone following the thread this far: Ottavio Bertoni in London is based on a RL Italian gangster operating in London at the time, Charles Santini I think

A:这应该是我偶然发现的一些俄罗斯罪犯间的行话或绰号。
哈哈！我找到了参考来源，现在我想起来了。当初我在各种语言中寻找类似‘商人’或‘可疑的交易者’意思的词，以作为清算人的对照物。如果我没搞错，俄语中的这个词的词源高度存疑——这类模糊不清的词源对我来说最适合不过了。我并不是把这些东西当作彩蛋放进去，尽管它们偶尔会被当成彩蛋发现，而更多是为了增加质感和让玩家产生联想。
我对研究相当痴迷 :)还有个额外的：流亡者中伦敦的联系人奥塔维奥·伯顿的原型是当时在伦敦活动一个真实存在的意大利黑帮份子，我记得好像是查尔斯·桑蒂尼。
