: 最後補一下鈦的小說裡的經典橋段:
: https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/ap6bem/book_excerptkill_team_kroot_and_human_talk_about/
: 「
: 'It was just a bar fight. It would never have got that serious' I say with a
: shake of my head.
: 'You forget, humans are despised by most races here' the kroot disagrees,
: turning down a smaller street leading off the main thoroughfare. 'Nobody
: would have missed you'
: 'Why such bad feeling?' I ask, wondering what we could have done that is so
: upsetting.
: 'You humans are everywhere, you spread across the stars like a swarm' Orak
: tells me, with no hint of embarrassment. 'You invade worlds which are not
: yours, you are governed by fear and superstition'
: 'We are led by a god, we have a divine right to conquer the galaxy' I
: protest, earning more clicking laughter from the kroot leader. 'It is
: mankind's destiny to rule the stars, the Emperor has told us so'
: 'Driven by fear and superstition, even worse than the tau and the tau'va' the
: kroot says, his voice suggesting good humour rather than distaste.
: 'So what do you believe in?' I ask, wondering what makes the kroot think he's
: got all the answers.
: 'Change' he says, looking at me with his piercing dark eyes. 'As we learn
: from our ancestors, we change and adapt. We learn from our prey and grow
: stronger. The future is uncertain, to stagnate is to die'
: 'You worship change?' I ask incredulously.
: 'No, human' he says, showing signs of irritation again. 'Unlike your kind, we
: simply accept it'

: 這段晚點再翻吧,但是我想重點我都標了,英文不差的人應該可以大概抓到概念吧...人類
: 差不多是被全銀河的異族鄙視。從這位克魯特的對話來看,人類跟綠皮的差異也不算太大
: 了。

先來完成翻譯,再來回答下面留言的問題:
「
"那只是一場酒吧鬥毆,不會變得那麼嚴重的。"我搖頭說道。
"你忘了,人類被這裡大多數種族鄙視"克魯特不同意道,轉身走向了一條離開主幹道的更
小街道。"沒有人會懷念你們的。"
"為何對我們感受這麼差?"我問道,好奇我們到底做了什麼讓人如此不悅。
"你們人類無處不在,你們像蟲群一樣遍布群星。"歐拉克告訴我,沒有半點尷尬的跡象。"
你們侵略不屬於你們的世界,你們受恐懼和迷信所統治。"
"我們是由一尊神明所領導,我們自有征服銀河的天賦權利。"我反駁道,卻掙來了克魯特
領袖所發出的更多咔噠笑聲。"統治群星就是人類的使命,帝皇是這麼告訴我們的。"
"受恐懼和迷信所驅使,比鈦和鈦瓦都還更糟"克魯特說道,他的聲音更近似優良的幽默感
而非厭惡。
"所以你們相信什麼?"我問道,好奇什麼讓克魯特認為他坐擁所有的答案。
"改變"他說道,用他刺穿人心的目光看著我。"正如我們從我們祖先所學到的,我們改變並
適應。我們從我們的獵物身上學習,並且變得更強壯。未來是不確定的,而停滯就等於死
亡。"
"你們尊崇改變?"我不可置信地問道。
"不,人類,"他說道,再次展現出惱怒的跡象。"不像你們的種群,我們僅僅是接受它。"
