[光劍]光劍樣式一文...的我流翻譯版 Part1

閒來無事，所以順手就將前幾天的發文給翻譯一下，日後作為參考的話也較方便

以下，本文開始:


Blade Type/劍刃樣式

Single-bladed


The most common variety of lightsaber.


單刃劍

電影中最常見的光劍種類

Dual-Phase


This rare type of lightsaber uses a combination of focusing crystals to create a blade that can extend up to double the original length with a simple activation. Unlike typical lightsabers, which often have a manual adjuster for reducing the blade emission, the dual-phased blade can be triggered in an instant, adding an element of surprise to catch an opponent off guard. Additionally, dual-phase lightsabers also have a blade-width adjust.


雙刃劍

使用兩顆原力水晶產生劍刃，如此可以單次啟動中讓劍刃延伸成原來的兩倍長，是屬於較少見的光劍樣式。
與制式光劍不同的是，制式光劍需要手動調整以減少劍刃電磁消耗的，而雙刃劍可以在瞬間啟動完成，讓對手措手不及，使我方有機會可以突破對手防禦。
除此之外，雙刃劍也可以做劍幅(劍寬)的調整。

Great Lightsaber / Light Club


The lightclub is a weapon similar to a lightsaber, however special focusing crystals and power systems enable this rare lightsaber to project a blade up to three meters in length. These large lightsabers are generally used only by beings of immense stature.


Great Lightsaber/Light Club
巨型光劍        /光棍

光棍與光劍相似，不過其特殊的原力水晶與控制系統可以使劍刃伸長至3公尺。通常是由身材較高大的人使用。

Short Lightsaber


The short lightsaber employs a shorter blade than the more common lightsaber. The smaller blade allows for easier use in combat by those Jedi who are of a smaller stature. Also, a short lightsaber is sometimes utilized in the Jar'Kai combat style by individuals of normal stature.


Short Lightsaber
短劍

這種光劍的劍刃短於普通長度的光劍，此種設計使其易於與身材矮小的絕地武士應戰。
此外，在對付一般體型的敵人時，短劍也被學習Jai`Kai戰型的絕地武士所使用

註:原文為Combat Form，此處翻成戰型，是指絕地武士的戰鬥方法，思考和招式等等，概念與流派相似，一般分成七型，不過當然也有例外，像是此處所提到的Jai`Kai。Jai`Kai等同於雙刀流，是指絕地武士雙手持劍的戰型

Shoto


The shoto is a lightsaber with a shorter blade and can be used as an assault knife. Because this type of lightsaber has a very small blade, it can even be easily used by those not sensitive to the Force. Essentially its purpose is to work in conjunction with another lightsaber and counter attacks by an opponent's weapon while freeing the primary lightsaber for a return strike. To this end shoto wielders are required to become proficient in the lightsaber technique of Jar'Kai in order to reduce risk of injury to themselves due to the increased dexterity needed to master the use of both blades simultaneously.


Shoto/Lightdagger
短刀

此種光劍同樣也有較短的劍刃，同時也可以做為突擊刀使用。此種特性使其可以輕易的被不擅於操作原力的人使用。
基本設計是與其他光劍一起用(類似二刀流的用法)，或是當我方武器無法使用時做為替代用反擊對方的武器。
為了減少負傷的風險，短刀使用者必須精通Jai`Kai戰型，並能靈巧的同時使用兩把光劍戰鬥。

註:其實感覺Shoto與Short lightsaber是差不多的東西，其實我也很納悶為何原作者要將其分成兩項
硬要說的話，把前者視為「脇差」，後者視為「突擊刀」或許會比較好理解

Training Lightsaber


The training lightsaber is used to practice lightsaber combat. While non-lethal, contact with the blade can cause bruising and even minor burns. This type of lightsaber is often used in conjunction with the basic Shii-Cho style of lightsaber combat.

訓練用光刃

此種光劍是愈來練習光劍戰鬥用的，因為不會致命，所以對打時最多只會受到擦傷或是輕微燒傷，這種光劍會較常被學習Shii-Cho戰型的絕地武士所使用。

註:Shii-Cho是光劍戰行中最古老的一種，包含了基本的攻守、移動及速度，稱其為所有光劍戰型的基本型也不為過。

Underwater Lightsaber


Most lightsabers short out when the blade touches water, this blade is made to operate underwater due to two crystals employing a bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse.

水戰用光刃

多數的光劍都不適合在水中使用，但此種光劍使用兩顆原力水晶所產生的特殊脈衝，所以可以在水下使用

註:此處特殊脈衝的原文為bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse，直翻的話是「分岔週期性點火脈衝」，基本上我也不知道這是啥鬼>..<
