估計很多人都看過《鐵血戰士》(Predator) 系列的電影 相信其中很多是最近兩年看《AVP Alien Vs. Predator》才知道這種外形怪物 我第一次看這片子是小時候老爹借來的VHS版本的錄像帶 可謂記憶深刻 詳細全文 http://ttdz.21years.com/index.php?pl=148&ct1=3 這次我再出來給看Predator2 中結局一頭霧水的人們解惑 在Predator2 結尾 我們的偉大LAPD放躺下了Predator 結果一下子出現了N個Predator同伴 正在我們的黑人同志絕望的時候Predator并未給同伴趁機雪恥 而是贈了他一直刻有Raphael Adolini 1715燧石火槍 估計看了這結局大部分觀眾肯定直接懵了 而且電影就沒有任何解釋 我呢就解釋一下 其實動動腦子找資料即可 Q: What is the name on the antique gun in the Predator 2 movie? Does it hold any real significance to the movie or the Yautja themselves? A: The flintlock pistol from Predator 2 was inscribed Raphael Adolini 1715, thus proving that either Yautja are very long-lifed creatures, or just that their clans have been hunting on Earth for hundreds of years. According to a Dark Horse story Predator: 1718, which features in Decade of Dark Horse #1 (of 4) and the collected edition Decade: A Dark Horse Short Story Collection TPB, the pistol was a trophy taken by a Yautja who hunted a band of pirates in 1718. As the story goes: dropping anchor at an island in Guinea in 1718, the Captain of the small band of pirates suddenly faced mutiny over a stolen case of gold which was destined for a church. The Captain wanted the gold returned, much to the anger of his crew who turned against him. In the following battle, a watching Predator joined the fray and fought back-to-back with the Captain - attacking the rebellious crew with an extendable sword. In the climactic scene, with the crew dead and the Predator and Captain about to battle mano a mano, the Captain is suddenly shot in the back by the last member of his crew, who was in hiding. Denied his trophy, the Predator angrily blasts the final crewman to hell. With his dying breath, the Captain whispers 'take it...' to the Predator, throwing him his beautifully engraved pistol. With the Captain dead, the Predator takes a moment to think about this battle - and with some curious respect, leaves the dead Captain his extendable sword... 'Take it.' The final scene sees what looks like a shooting star moving across the evening sky, far above a now silent island - and a pirate ship in the bay, never to leave anchor again. 譯文 問:在電影《鐵血戰士2》中那把古老的手槍的名字是什么?對電影或者Yautja（鐵血戰士）有什么特殊寓意? 答:那把燧石手槍上面記著"Raphael Adolini 1715",證明 Yautja 是一種壽命很長的生物,并且已經在地球上狩獵了數百年，根據“XXX（鐵血戰士系列的其中一部小說和后續的短篇集的記載）”這把手槍是一個Yautja在1718年和一群海盜搏殺時獲得的戰利品。（筆者腦子突然想到了加勒比海盜2中的某角色扮相） 根據故事內容，1714年，一群海盜在幾內亞的一個小島拋錨后，那幫海盜的船長遇到了一起叛亂。起因是由于他們劫掠了一箱正運往教堂途中的黃金，船長想歸還黃金，但許多船員反對他。在接下來的戰斗中，一個觀望中的掠食者 加入的戰斗中，他與船長并肩作戰，用一把可以伸展的矛攻擊叛亂者。 事件達到了高潮，就在戰斗的最后時刻，最后一個躲藏起來的船員突然射中了船長的背部。拒絕了最后一個船員的賄賂，掠食者憤怒的將他送進了地獄。隨著微弱的呼吸，船長輕聲對掠食者說“拿著它”，并丟下了他的帶刻字的手槍。船長死后，掠食者思考了一會兒這次戰斗，帶著少許奇怪的敬意，掠食者將它可伸展的矛留給了船長------“拿著它” 最后的場景是：一顆流星高高的劃過寧靜的小島的夜空，一艘海盜船躺在港灣中，再也不會起錨。 Yautja 就是 Predator 鐵血戰士 In the climactic scene, with the crew dead and the Predator and Captain about to battle mano a mano, the Captain is suddenly shot in the back by the last member of his crew, who was in hiding. Denied his trophy, the Predator angrily blasts the final crewman to hell. mano a mano= hand to hand， one on one 是西班牙語 http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a5_164.html 前面這句是說：進入高潮，船長和鐵血戰士殺光了（叛亂的）船員之后，正要開始兩人之間最后的決斗。船長突然被最后一個藏起來的船員從背后射中（然后掛了）。 Denied his trophy 我覺得這里是比喻。意思是：兩個人決斗的話，能最后“taking your life”是戰斗的 Trophy。我在和你決斗，突然冒出來個人把你殺了，這對于我這是 Denied my trophy，我肯定會很不爽，也肯定會把你 blast to hell。 這個地方不太好直譯（殺人爽度驟降的。。？），意譯我也想不出來，就這樣吧。 －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ 決斗之后獻上或者交換武器，一般兩個意思， 一是認輸，二是表示尊敬 you are a worthy component! 這個動作電影里面很多：羅素.庫克在怒海爭鋒最后，那個法國船長戰敗之后吩咐船員要把自己的佩劍交給羅素.庫克。 Aliens Vs Predator最后，一個Predator把死去的Predator用過的“伸展的劍”（其實我覺得像標槍）交給那個黑人女科學家。 －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ 有關Predator的電影 小說 游戲 很多 都成了一個系列 甚至有把終結者也揉進去的同人作品 最新的電影是《異形大戰鐵血戰士2:原始獵殺》(Aliens Vs Predator 2 Primal Hunt) 哪些奇怪的資料就是其它相關的小說。 http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Highrise/7256/intro.html
