Good men have died for the information contained herein, and cruel men have bartered the information for their own ends. For this we must respect it. We will not deviate from its route and you will not deviate from my instruction. This way!
这是四代第一关中Werner Von Croy跟Lara第二次对话时说的话。之后就是要过一个尖刺丛。第一句我不是很明白，谁知道是什么意思？
Good men have died for the information contained herein
good men可能相当于"壮士"吧
and cruel men have bartered the information for their own ends
那些悲惨的人已经用他们的结局（死了吧）换来了这信息（怎样过尖刺阵）
感觉两句是一个意思......晕了~
不错，经你这么一提示，感觉出这几句的意思来了。
不过好像和前面他说的话矛盾噢
Werner说的第一句话：And so, we breach the sanctum of the ancients, the first footfalls in this tomb for centuries.
"the first footfalls in this tomb for centuries"是说几个世纪以来他们是这里的第一队造访者吧？
应该是之前有吧，这次他带劳拉来不象是第一次~
再前呢？第一句~
只能这么解释，那些good men是centuries之前来这里的，呵呵......
哈哈,TombCrow 终于开工了!
加油啊，这可是十分宝贵的资料，具有划时代的意义~
这一段呢？
Werner: Ah, the pace is quickening now, ja? One more crossing, child. Or do you wish to stop for... tea?
Lara: Oh, I think I can just about hold it together. Wouldn't want to spill it your nice suit at any rate.
Lara说的话～～

六代的对白和攻略是在国外网友帮助下完成的，四代的攻略我要和中国玩家合作完成！:cool:
Werner: Your chance to earn your keep, fräulein. The mechanism to activate the bridge lays at the other side of the stream. These rivers cascade through chambers and caverns deep below these prehistoric foothills. As a consequence...
Lara: Freezing! I guessed. Your gout playing up again Werner?
最后一句
玩玩古墓,学学英语,过过6级,哈哈!
ps:我到很想成为这样的玩家.
我六级早过了，还是搞不定啊......
是不是该让给没过的兄弟来啊？
要喧起"玩古墓,练E文"的热潮!:P
我掀不起来啊！！
还有
Your gout playing up again Werner?这到底是什么意思？是说Werner一提到这些（古墓，古玩，远古洞穴）东西就滔滔不绝？
不行啊，要是只为了学英语还可以，要为过级可难了，侧重点不一样。古墓对白里的文化太浓了
呵呵，不错，玩古墓，学英语，适合去考雅思！
昏倒～～
老外的解释：
The word ''gout'' is a part of the human body and it's not supposed to be good for people... let's say... over 40 years old. You are not supposed to run, jump or whatever because it's not good for you.
Lara made a sarcasric comment to Werner like ''Why don't you jump into the water and I have to do it? Do you have a problem with your gout?''
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Gout is a painful disease that causes the bone joints like ankles and knees to swell, become enflamed. 'Playing up' is and English expression meaning to give trouble to, cause distress. So she is asking him, with sarcasm, if his Gout is causing him pain again.
哈哈,相互讽刺!
这两个家伙怎么这么喜欢耍嘴皮子？？
Werner: You will catch your death in those clothes my dear. A quick sprint up that ladder will dry you out again.
Lara: Such concern. I never knew you cared.
Werner: Dear Lara, you are a valuable asset to the quest.
Lara: You old romantic, you.
Werner: Yes, quite.
大家商量一下什么意思啊
老外的解释
In the first example, Lara's clothes are wet. It is believed by some people that to stay in wet clothes, one will 'catch a chill'. That is, become ill with sneezes, a cough and a runny nose! . In times past, it was of course risky to ones life to become ill in this way, and Verner is using another old expression in warning Lara that she will 'catch her death' (catch a chill and die).
In the second example you quote, Verner pays Lara a compliment, saying that she is a valuable person. This, as well as the first example, shows that Verner has a consideration for Lara, a caring for her. He sees her in a positive way. It is also the case that he has expressed his consideration of Lara a couple of times in such a brief period. Lara's response is again sarcastic, calling him an old romantic.
The second part of the conversation can be interpreted in another way, however. In Verner saying that Lara is a valuable asset to the quest (i.e. the mission at hand, currently underway), he is restricting his apparent compliment to that alone. In this way, Lara's response would then be dismissive of his 'compliment', mocking him by sarcastically (again) calling him an old romantic. In either event I don't think Lara is at all convinced of Verner's sincerity.
看来还是摆脱不了老外啊～～
......看来是啊！
I have noticed that most of the dialogue in the Tomb Raider games is naturally very particular to England and English notions, with many old English sayings. I have often wondered how much of this is totally lost on non-native English speakers.
hah!
晕!我要买old sayings dictionary!!!
引用下面引用由rainbow在 2004/08/13 21:16 发表的内容： 晕!我要买old sayings dictionary!!!
我边译边编吧，呵呵
好好好！只要你编得出。
Now it begins. The eyes of the ancients are upon us, and their vengeance is wrathful. We must move quickly! When running, press and hold Sprint to gain extra speed".
The eyes of the ancients are upon us, and their vengeance is wrathful.
是不是：那些早年死去的人（汗～～）还在看着我们，他们的报复是激烈的？
我想是的......汗～～and their vengeance is wrathful最好解释成：他们将暴怒地复仇．
the Garden of the Five Towers 知道是什么吗？？

The temples of Angkor in Cambodia are considered among the greatest archaeological achievements in the world. Thus, my wife and I ventured there last April to see for ourselves.
Radiating out from the town of Siem Reap, there are some 300 ancient monuments throughout the jungle. The three most important are Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and Ta Prohm, all within a few miles of each other.
Besides the remains of cosmopolitan cities, Angkor contains immense representations in stone of Hindu Buddhist cosmology.
A central pyramid shrine represents Mt. Meru, home to Hindu and Buddhist gods; surrounding moats represent the oceans, and inscriptions incised on vast walls tell stories of gods and show scenes from daily life at the time.
Angkor was established in the ninth century by Khmer King Jayavarman II, who initiated the practice of succeeding rulers' honoring themselves as representatives of the Hindu gods Shiva and Vishnu and, later, Buddha.
Besides containing art and architecture, the area represents a great technological achievement. An elaborate system of lakes and canals funneling water from nearby Tonle Sap lake, made agriculture possible, providing food for millions.
The Khmers remained on a centuries-long building spree before being brought down by the Thais in the 1430s. Over the centuries, encroaching jungle enshrouded most sites before they were brought to world attention by France in the 1860s. Reclamation began in 1908 but was interrupted in 1970 by civil war.
Currently, countries throughout the world, especially Germany, France, Japan and the United States, are involved in conservation efforts. Joyce Clark, from San Francisco, recently returned from Angkor where she did research for a book on the area. She says restoration is being done, but more effort is put into halting the inroads of nature. As she puts it, much of the work on a temple site is "to conserve it so that it doesn't fall down."
Politics and safety
In the last few years, tourism has picked up after tough times for Cambodia. In 1975, the infamous Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, seized power and ruled for 44 months after the monarchy had been abolished. Under Pol Pot some two million Cambodians were executed. Seeing the reign of terror, Viet-Nam invaded Cambodia in 1979 and occupied the country for 11 years. After Viet-Nam withdrew, the U.N. took charge and elections were held in 1993. Currently, Cambodia's population of over nine million is striving to rebuild the nation.
Officially the country is now at peace, but rebel disturbances have continued. In a recent advisory, Americans were told that the formation of a coalition government in 1998 eased political tensions. However, tourists are warned to avoid political gatherings and demonstrations in the capital, Phnom Penh, and to stay out of the countryside.
To reach Siem Reap, it is. advised to travel by air and limit movements to the city and temple complexes. Heeding the government's advice and staying with a tour guide, my wife and I felt completely safe.
Early Khmer architecture
Last April, after a short morning flight from Bangkok to Siem Reap, we checked into the historic Grand Hotel d'Angk or and were soon off to the sites. Before going out to Angkor Wat, our guide took us by one of the oldest temples, Preah Ko, constructed by Indravarman I in the late ninth century. There we saw early examples of Khmer architecture.
Preah Ko's structures were weathered, but the doorway lintels. were in perfect shape, and, nium, statues of guardians. and gods set into recessed chambers adjacent to entrances were in amazingly good shape.
Builders finished off the top of temples with bricks atop sandstone blocks, a feature unique to older sites. Our guide pointed out, the detailed. inscriptions carved into these bricks astonishing, given the difficulty of working in this medium.
A red glow emanated from Preah Ko's buildings, differing, from the predominately yellow, cast of later temples. Adding to the surrealistic look; vines grew from the towers like unruly hair. Sanskrit inscriptions on door posts enable scholars to gain historical background of the time. Having these early examples to compare' with upcoming sites, we were off to Angkor Wat.
Angkor Wat
It is difficult to describe the beauty of Angkor Wat with its five towers and magnificent bas-reliefs contained in a complex of perfect symmetry.
Built in the 12th century by Suryavarman II the site' was "discovered" in' 1861. by Frenchman Henri Mouhot. But it was never lost to the Cambodian monks who had largely kept the jungle at bay since the city was abandoned 500 years ago. Arduous efforts to clear away the growth and rebuild damaged structures were begun by the French in 1908.
As the complex first came into sight, a feeling of deja vu came over us. We finally had a chance to see up close the picture duplicated so often in photos and TV specials. Falling in with the stream of tourists and locals, we crossed the wide moat via a stone bridge to the entrance. In the water on each side people were swimming and fishing. This special place is just a part of daily life for Cambodians.
The towers represent five peaks of the sacred Mount Meru, the mythical center of the universe. As we got close, we could see monks in bright saffron robes ringing the edges of the buildings. Inside the temple there are many altars tended by monks where the faithful worship.
Sidestepping my way up a precipitous stone stairway, I joined the energetic who climbed to the top of the central tower, 180 feet above the ground, for a wonderful view of it all.
On the walls surrounding the temple is an 875-yard-long gallery of bas-reliefs. They tell of sacred Hindu epics and the glory of the king, intermixed with beautifully carved images of celestial dancing maidens (called asparas). An entire afternoon could be spent taking in the epic.
The most famous section of these carvings is the Churning of the Ocean of Milk, depicting a fight between good and evil with 88 asuras (devils) on the left and 92 devas (gods) on the right. Vishnu is sitting on the side, taking in the whole spectacle. Other figures look on, including Shiva and Brahma and many sea creatures -- truly an amazing scene.
It's best to visit Angkor Wat in the afternoon. Standing on the bridge looking back, we saw the temple glowing in the setting sun.
Another era
We returned to our hotel late in the afternoon. With its huge pool and lovely gardens, it was truly an oasis from the heat and dust outside. The Grand Hotel d'Angkor was opened in 1928. During its peak, this jewel of French Indonesia took care of tourists coming in mostly from Europe and America. It fell into disrepair during the Khmer uprising when Pol Pot and his troops used it for their quarters.
In 1992 it was restored to its former glory by Raffles International. Now it's an upscale resort with spa and two fine restaurants. I particularly enjoyed happy hour in the hotel's Elephant Bar -- a good place to mingle with guests and backpackers who join to share stories of the day's adventures.
Photos taken over the last 100 years at Angkor line the hallways of the hotel's three stories, and its charming metal-basket elevator, circa 1929, lifts guests up to their floor. The operator is decked out in a palace guard uniform. With him and our baggage, we barely fit, but it was fun.
Angkor Thom
We met our guide early the next morning, anxious to tour Angkor Thom and Ta Prohm. Much of Angkor Thom has been reclaimed by the jungle, but it was once one of the largest cities in the -world larger than anything in medieval Europe. The site reached its height under King Jayavarman VII (118-1201) when an estimated one million lived within six square miles.
The Bayon is the center temple and the site's focal point with 54 four-sided towers of faces. Each of the 216 faces is said to be in the image of Jayavarman VII, presented as the incarnation of Buddha.
Most amazing is the nearly 4,000 feet of carved bas-reliefs vividly illustrating scenes from daily life. We learned much about the times as we saw everyday activities: people cooking, hunting, haggling with traders... There are even comical scenes, a frog biting a man for example.
Just outside the Bayon is the 1,100-foot-long Terrace of the Elephants. Flanking the entryway is a parade of elephants marching up to steps guarded by larger elephants with trunks anchored to the ground -- all in great condition, for being eight centuries old. The temple was used as a review stand and for ceremonies. Most striking are the life-sized, winged garudas, half man, half bird. They seem to take off into the air from the walls.
Ta Prohm
We left Angkor Thom for what was probably our most memorable experience. After a short hike through the jungle we came upon Ta Prohm, a site comparatively untouched. Awestruck, we imagined we were the first explorers to approach these ancient structures locked in the grip of encroaching nature. Giant trees grow from lichen-encrusted towers, and roots, like tentacles, clutch the walls of ancient galleries. We were anxious to go inside but had to be careful walking over stone pathways buckled by time.
Ta Prohm was built by Jayavarman VII in honor of his mother. The 12th-century temple complex is estimated to have consisted of 556 stone dwellings, housing a religious order of over 5,000. While other principal areas of Angkor have been greatly restored, Ta Prohm has been allowed to collapse into majestic ruins, adding to its aura of romance and mystery.
Back to today
We wound up our trip to Cambodia with a boat ride on the vast Tonle Sap, the largest lake in Southeast Asia. One of the richest sources of freshwater fish in the world, for centuries Tonle Sap's, bounty fed the Khmers as it does Cambodians today.
We relaxed and enjoyed seeing the placid lifestyle largely unchanged over the years -- families living on the edge of the water, many in houseboats, and fathers and sons throwing out nets to make a catch.

吴哥窟建于1113年至1150年，其四周建有长达3600米的城墙，城外是190米宽的护城河。主体建筑为三层方形台基，第一层台基四周的围墙上配有长达800米的浮雕。第二层台基四角各有一座尖塔，与第三层台基中央矗立的一座65米高的尖塔构成金木水火土五行。但从正面看五座塔只能看到三座。所以，三塔就成了吴哥文明的象征。
啊，原来是这样。......这么长是什么啊？旅游介绍？
是老外介绍我看的一篇游记
哦，果然如此，我想不是旅游向导就是游记一类的。一代的台词你完成了？我只听出来一半......二代呢？
没有，才开始四代
好,那我先试试搞一代!
......TRLM的帮助文件呢？还是先干这个吧......
哦,好的.
~~~四代：第三波出过一本全彩的攻略，内容很详尽，唯一不足的就是图片亮度太低。不知道是谁写的谁加的图片，卖 38 RMB（心痛啊~~一本攻略居然），是一本书+1CD，CD的内容：两段古墓丽影游戏介绍短片（几分钟），四代试玩版，古墓丽影图片若干~~~
可惜的是，攻略借给一个同学了（他还是喜欢TR），所以......但是我可以试试让他把攻略文字部分的一部分打出来（他的学习很忙，而且打字较慢，所以只能"试试"），他没装四代XP补丁，所以load很慢，就不能截图了。
那本攻略我还是看过n遍，所以前面有些情节能记住（死城后面的部分我打的次数很少，没印象）。
我觉得写四代攻略有个难度，就是四带很多地方的顺序都不是唯一，几个场景之间来回跑，这样路线不唯一，写攻略的时候多少有点麻烦~~
风梦秋的幻想攻略我也看过，就想小说一样，非常有意思~我觉得我们将来在写这份功略时也可以从这个角度试试。增加攻略的故事性，让人即使不是为了通关，也愿翻阅攻略~~~至于古埃及神话~我也知道一点点~~如果用的着，可以发些帖子出来参考参考~~
......
目前，我的任务还是三代和三代黄金版~~~
呵呵，我还是不打算把攻略写成故事，因为已经有幻想攻略了，我再写那种类型的攻略就有重复之嫌。况且每个人都有自己的想法，并不是所有的人都喜欢故事性的攻略，我还是想让我的攻略更严肃一点。黑暗天使的攻略应该是我的攻略风格的基调了，详细到几乎每个英文单词都告诉你什么意思。四代的文化气息比较浓郁，我打算把背景知识也融进去。我希望在我的攻略中能够丰富大家的知识，这个大家不仅仅是指读者，更包括我自己在内。故事性的攻略最大的好处就是给人消遣，而我则希望能够从攻略中获得更多的收获，不然的话，在已经有一份十分详细的攻略的情况下我再去写四代攻略，就没有任何的意义了......
恩，支持！明天计算机课正好用来翻译TRLM帮助文件，哈哈~~
我是因为4代才开始真正喜欢古埃及神话的~~呵呵，所以也看了一些这方面的书
哈，我倒没有因为四代对埃及产生什么特别的感情，我本来就对文史感兴趣～
我在玩古墓之前就对考古有兴趣了。还喜欢生物。受古墓影响还喜欢轻武器。
各位努力吧！【动作】 lava 挥着手说道：同志们辛苦了！(//act/064.gif)
hehe~~古墓好象出过复活节岛吗/没有印象,没有吧~~
没啊。只有南极洲的类似头雕像。
应该把复活节岛搬进"古墓"。
复活节岛古墓......我想有人会做出来的。
引用下面引用由TombCrow在 2004/08/09 21:33 发表的内容：Good men have died for the information contained herein, and cruel men have bartered the information for their own ends. For this we must respect it. We will not deviate from its route and you will not deviate from my instruction. This way!
这是四代第一关中Werner Von Croy跟Lara第二次对话时说的话。之后就是要过一个尖刺丛。第一句我不是很明白，谁知道是什么意思？
1楼提出的问题， good men/cruel men ，不妨就译作好人/坏人。 这个对举出自圣经英译本（钦定本），是常见的语句（或作 merciful man 和 evil man等)，其中像马太福音中的一句，在英美老少皆知。
上个星期正好有位朋友来串门（还搜刮了我一顿晚饭～），就顺便请教了一下这位英语国家的基督徒。
Good men have died for the information contained herein, and cruel men have bartered the information for their own ends.
她说这句话的意思是好人为了这里的秘密献身，而坏人则为了他们自己的利益争夺这里的信息。their own ends指的是他们自己的利益。
她说《圣经》里面的确用到过Good men和cruel men，但是这两个是很普通的词汇，并不是圣经语言。
顺便也问了这句话：
If the leg is causing all of this resentment, I remember that to be from pulling hazardous levers.
她认为这里的leg就是本意，因为吴哥窑的探险使Von Croy的腿受了伤，leg指的就是他的那条伤腿。
（这位朋友没有玩过古墓丽影，也不知道剧情，我就英法并用解释了一下小Lara时候的那段故事，她立刻问我：Von Croy的腿是不是在那之后受了伤。我一想还真是的，当时他的腿被卡住了，后来出场就离不开拐杖了。以前倒是没有注意到这个问题，还以为Von Croy柱拐杖是因为年纪大了......）
恩，多解决些问题总是好的。另外，老大，我正在翻译1代的台词，翻译好后给你看看。
我玩到第一关推箱子的情节,,结果楼下的是、箱子我都搞不上来,,,我看攻略,,就用跷跷板,,可是那跷跷板根本不能把箱子跷到楼上去...郁闷,,帮忙解决一下,,是不是我的牌子没有收集完全???还是什么??
把箱子拉到低端，从中央伸出去的平台跳到高端上就可以了
这么讲究,,谢谢了
