Advantageous Anomalies 綠色奇異點


Garden of Eden 伊甸園

"Lush and pleasant, with a single year-round season of pleasantly moderate
temperatures, life is good on this planet. Everyone benefits from its natural
wealth: Residents, tourists, businessmen, and scientists."

一顆蒼翠繁茂、宜人的行星，常年都是舒適的溫度。生命在此茁壯，任何人都能從伊甸園
的自然寶藏中受益：居民、旅者、商人和科學家。


Ancient Ruins 遠古遺跡

"Search teams discover ruins of one of the many ancient civilizations that
have risen and fallen since the birth of the universe. Trade, tourism, and
research could potentially benefit from this rare find."

搜索隊發現了一片遺跡，屬於自宇宙誕生後眾多興起又衰落的古文明之一。這個稀有的發
現有著貿易、旅遊和研究的潛在價值。


Ancient Artifacts 遠古工藝品

"Away teams, wearing red shirts to be easily found in the event of death,
discovered numerous OOPArts -- Out Of Place Artifacts. Their origin and the
identity of their makers is not known, but they will certainly be of value to
researchers and of interest to tourists. "

某些人穿著在意外中容易被發現的紅襯衫，獨自發現了大量的OOPArts─境外工藝品。這
些工藝品的起源及製作者的身分不可考，但對研究者和遊客來說都很棒。


Dust Ruins 星塵遺跡

"Many ruins from the time of the Endless were Dust-enhanced structures or
traditional buildings that preceded the Dust era. On very rare occasions,
however, one can find entire structures built uniquely from this valuable
resource."

許多永恆族的遺跡，因為曾經歷過星塵年代，都用星塵強化過。不過在某些罕見的情況下
，有人會找到完全用這種貴重資源建造的建築。


Coral Reefs 珊瑚礁

"Picturesque, rich, and fascinating, these lush reefs beautify the planet,
provide sources of food, and are of interest to tourists (once they have been
declared either non-lethal or only partially lethal)."

珊瑚礁美麗、豐饒及夢幻，美化了整顆星球，提供了食物來源，並（在確認是無害或僅部
分有害後）使遊客趨之若騖。


Cyber Flora 虛擬花園

"A hybrid species that grew from Dust-infected lichen, this nearly
indestructible plant can be found thriving even in the harshest conditions.
Its beautiful, glossy sheen and interesting bio-technical properties create
both a stunning environment and a source of scientific knowledge."

這種幾乎不滅的植物，由被星塵感染的地衣演化而成，就算在最嚴酷的環境下也能生存。
其美麗、光滑的光澤和引人注意的生技價值，創造了令人震驚的景觀與科學知識資源。


Friendly Locals 友善的原住民

"Native inhabitants can be classified in one of two ways: those who view you
as friends, and those who view you as dinner. Fortunately, this is the former
case. By accelerating the colonists' adaptaton to the local ecosystem, they
permit a higher density of population than is common on a planet of this
size."

原住民能夠分為兩種：把你視為朋友或把你視為晚餐。幸運的是，你遇到的是前者。他們
讓殖民者們能夠適應當地的環境，因此使該大小的行星能夠容納比平常還多的人口。


Strange Fossils 奇特化石

"What strange beasts were these! Science Officers have discovered the remains
of long-dead creatures that appear exceptional in every way -- size, variety,
eating habits, and number of limbs. Anthropologists and cosmologists are
eager to study these finds."

這是什麼奇怪的野獸！科學家發現了這些死亡已久的生物化石，而這批化石在任何方面都
很奇特─大小、種類、攝食習慣及肢幹的數量。人類學家和宇宙學家非常渴望從中學得新
東西。


Rich Soil 肥壤

"The soil of this planet is rich in bacteria and nutrients; crops will grow
well and livestock will be healthy."

這顆行星的土壤富含細菌及養分，作物會長的很棒而家畜會頭好壯壯。


Mineral Rich 富含礦物

"Due to its formation from dust clouds that spun off from the system's sun,
the crust of this planet is unusually rich in minerals."

該行星因為由所屬行星系之陽釋放的塵埃雲組成，因此地殼礦物量異乎尋常的高。


Dust Lode 星塵礦脈

"Once a base or battleground of the Endless civilization, their
nanotechnological 'Dust' is omnipresent in the ground and atmosphere."

只要是永恆族的根據地或戰場，該處地面和大氣一定會充斥著星塵。


Hadopelagic Life 深海生命

"Having deep oceans that are rich with life, this planet is abundant in
hadopelagic creatures -- those that have adapted to the lightless environment
at the bottom of the ocean and are tolerant of the tremendous pressures. They
are not only a source of food, but provide useful scientific information on
extremophilic life forms."

這顆行星的海洋非常深，卻擁有大量的深海生命─這些生物能夠適應深海無光且重壓的環
境。牠們不只是食物的來源，也能夠對於極端生物學提供有用的資訊。


Microfactories 微型工廠

"Another innovation of the Endless, some Visited planets were sown with these
Dust-built millimeter-scale factories that convert mineral solids into
nutrient chains for crops. Adaptable or 'trainable' to a wide range of
ecosystems, they are an enormous boon to food production and agricultural
labor."

這是永恆族的另一個發明。有些他們造訪過的行星會被埋入這種由星塵建構的毫米尺度工
廠，以把堅硬的無機物轉化為作物能吸收的養分。微型工廠能夠適應或「馴化」大部分的
自然環境，因此對食物生產和農業非常有益。


Antonov Rings 安托諾夫環

"Dense rings of beige and brown asteroids with erratic orbits, the planetary
rings are fascinating for tourists and equally interesting for scientific
studies."

這種軌道不定的行星環由緻密的土黃、棕色碎石群組成，為遊客及科學家所喜愛。


Huygens Rings 惠更斯環

"A rich, multi-colored band of asteroids surrounds this planet. Reflecting
the star's light in green, gray, purple, white, and blue, they are a highly
prized tourist destination as well as a ready source of minerals and alloys."

這種行星環是一條寬廣、多彩的碎石陣，在恆星的反射下展現出綠、灰、紫、白和藍色的
色彩。惠更斯環不僅對遊客有高度的吸引力，也是礦物學和合金學的重要知識來源。


Hollow Planet 中空的行星

"About as anomalous as an anomaly can be, this planet has vast subterranean
spaces that run hundreds of kilometers. Fascinating to tourists and
scientists, it adds a great deal of habitable space that is highly
defensible."

就算在各種奇異點之中，這奇異點也算夠怪的了。這顆行星有著廣大的地下空間，直徑有
幾百公里。這個地方提供了易守難攻的廣大居住空間，因此被遊客及科學家喜愛。


Mutated Flora 突變植物系

"An example of biodiversity gone berserk, this planet shows a variety of
plant mutations of every size, shape, color, scent, flavor, and psychoactive
effect that one could imagine. Some of the more notable results include rich
food supplies and ecstatic gourmet chefs."

生物多樣性大暴走的其中一個案例。這種植物在大小、形狀、顏色、氣味和心理影響的表
現上把一個人對於植物的任何想像全部展現出來了，造成的後果包括豐富的食物來源及引
來開心的大廚。


Low Gravity 低重力

"A lower density of planetary core effects many things, of which gravity is
the most notable. This has advantages for industrial production and makes
kids really, really happy."

低密度的地核會影響許多東西，最明顯的就是重力。這不僅對工業生產有利，也讓小孩非
常、非常開心。


Deserted Cities 廢棄的都市

"An eerie reminder of yet another lost civilization, deserted cities are
scattered across the surface of this planet. Even stranger, many of the
buildings and machines are still in working order. If a planet had been
conceived to make scientists and engineers happy, it is this one."

這些廢棄都市是對於某個失落文明的神祕存在證明，散佈在這顆行星的表面上。儘管長得
很奇怪，大部分建築和機器仍然在運作。如果有顆行星能同時滿足科學家和工程師的話，
就是這顆了。


Molten Springs 熔岩泉

"Blessed--or cursed--by volcanic activity close to the surface and a
metal-rich crust, geysers of molten metal spew their very dangerous and very
valuable contents from numerous points on the planet. Industry and commerce
can clearly benefit from this bizarre geology."

從富含金屬地殼的地表發生的火山活動既是祝福也是詛咒，這顆行星上的許多地方都有著
融化金屬的間歇泉，不斷的噴出既危險又非常有價值的物質。工業或商業都能因此奇特的
地質現象而受益。


Rich Atmosphere 富含大氣

"Rich in oxygen and other useful gases, the atmosphere of this planet is its
main advantage. Food will be readily available, and native populations will
be healthy and happy."

這顆行星的大氣富含氧氣及其他有益氣體，食物能夠生長的很好，住在此行星的人民也會
健康快樂。


Robot Locals 機械原住民

"Whatever civilization once thrived on this planet, all that remains are the
rubble of buildings and a strangely helpful and obedient population of
robots. Anthropologists may one day determine how and why they were created,
but for now their main value is as a dedicated and uncomplaining workforce."

無論該行星曾經存在什麼文明，現在剩下的只剩下殘垣斷瓦及一批出奇高效及順從的機器
人。有一天人類學家可能會了解它們為何且如何被創造出來，但現在它們最大的價值就是
一批鞠躬盡瘁且任勞任怨的勞動力。


Komatiite Volcano 科馬提火山

"Dude, where's my silica? These volcanoes of ultramafic rock from deep within
the planet's mantle are sources of useful metal alloys, and can be cheaply
exploited for geothermal energy."

老兄，我的二氧化矽呢？這些由超鎂鐵岩石構成的火山群從該行星的地函深處噴發，可作
為合金的重要來源，也能輕易開發其地熱能源。


Propitious Seasons 四季如春

"This is not merely a planet that has the benefit of an axial tilt that
produces seasonal variations in weather; the seasons and their associated
climates lend themselves well to agriculture."

該行星與一般行星不同，它特殊的自轉軸傾斜角產生的四季氣候變化非常的舒服，因此非
常適合農業發展。


Molten Core 融熔態地核

"Not all planets have a molten core, which provides some distinct advantages
such as a natural magnetic field that shields the planet from cosmic rays and
plate tectonics which contribute to evolution. For both these reasons,
scientists find this type of planet particularly interesting."

不是所有行星的地核都是融熔態，有融熔態地核的行星有幾項好處，像是擁有屏蔽宇宙射
線的天然磁場及持續發展的板塊運動。科學家因為這兩個理由而認為這類行星比較有趣。


Metallic Waters 礦物質水

"Rich in deposits of copper, iron, zinc, and other metals, the lakes and
geysers of this planet are stunning to behold. The high metal content of the
waters is also a boon to industrial development, as highly purified ores can
be obtained through simple filtration."

這顆行星的湖泊和噴泉富含銅、鐵、鋅和其他金屬的沉澱物，看起來非常奇特。水中的高
金屬成分也有益於工業發展，因為高度純化的礦物能透過簡單的過濾手續獲得。


Humeris Insidentes 巨人的肩膀

"This planet was inhabited by a highly advanced race that died off when a
massive volcanic eruption induced a prolonged winter. The knowledge of their
civilization was meticulously documented and stored in bunkers scattered
across the planet. Clearly, they expected to rise up after the winter and
continue their evolution. Sadly, the bunkers sit unlocked and unused, and the
people have returned to the dust. Their knowledge, however, is yours to
explore."

這顆行星上曾經存在著高度發展的種族，而他們在一次劇烈火山噴發引起的漫長冬天中滅
絕了。該文明的知識被一絲不苟的紀錄及保存在散佈整個行星的地下碉堡中，很明顯的他
們希望能在冬天過去後回到地表並繼續發展。可惜的是，這些碉堡沒有上鎖也無人使用過
，而這些人早已回歸塵土。然而，他們的知識由你的探索所繼承。


Dense Atmosphere 緻密大氣

"Lava planets in particular, due to the continual combustion and high
temperature of their crust, have atmospheres that are dense in organic
compounds. Though it renders them a challenge to colonize, this anomaly also
helps to increase the agricultural output."

熔岩行星很特別，因為它的地殼不斷的燃燒並保持高溫，並使其大氣充滿了氧氣。雖然要
在上面殖民是個挑戰，但這個特點也能幫助農業發展。


---------------------------------------------------------------


Debatable Anomalies 黃色奇異點


Ice 10 冰十

"A rare form of ice that is caused by water crystallizing under high
pressures, Ice 10 is interesting for its thermodynamic properties. Its
extremely low temperatures, however, mean that the planet has a dangerous and
hostile environment."

冰十是冰的一種稀有結構體，由水在高度壓力下結晶而成，可成為研究熱力學的素材，但
其極低的溫度卻使該行星的環境變得危險艱困。

Negative effects removed: "A rare form of ice that is caused by water
crystallizing under high pressures, Ice 10 is interesting for its
thermodynamic properties. A concerted effort by the planet's engineers has
led to a lessening of its negative effects."

移除負面效果：冰十是冰的一種稀有結構體，由水在高度壓力下結晶而成，可成為研究熱
力學的素材，而該行星的工程師在經過不懈的努力後減輕了其負面的效果。


Shattered Crust 破碎的地殼

"The surface of this planet is a riot of cliffs, chasms, ridges, and spikes.
While the broken surface means that many mineral resources can be easily
mined, it also means that transport and construction will be challenging."

該行星的表面是懸崖、峽谷、高山和岩柱的狂歡會。雖然破碎的地表代表能輕易找到大量
礦物，但也代表運輸及建築會是個大挑戰。

Negative effects removed: "The surface of this planet is a riot of cliffs,
chasms, ridges, and spikes. While the broken surface once meant that
exploitation was difficult, a concerted effort by the planet's inhabitants
has made this less problematic."

移除負面效果：該行星的表面是懸崖、峽谷、高山和岩柱的狂歡會。雖然破碎的地表曾經
阻撓開發，但在行星居民不懈的努力下，問題已經變小了。


Permanent Monsoon 永久季風

"The good news: This is a water-rich planet and therefore of great value to
agriculture. The bad news: This water is generally delivered horizontally in
your face by gale-force winds. Tides and winds, fortunately, also provide
ready sources of (wet) energy."

好消息：這是個富含水份的行星，因此農業價值很高。壞消息：這些水一般跟著風一起以
32到63哩的時速痛毆你的臉。幸運的是，潮水和風也會提供穩定的（濕）能源。

Negative effects removed: "Once a very wet and very difficult environment, a
concerted effort to partially terraform the planet has lessened the intensity
of the winds and storms."

移除負面效果：該行星一度是個非常濕的嚴酷之地，後來在不懈的環境改造下減少了大風
和暴風的強度。


Aurora Waves 極光波

"Gleaming, multi-colored auroras last all day and night, moving eerily across
the surface of the planet. Though their properties are greatly appreciated by
residents and tourists, the electromagnetic residue is a headache for
scientists."

閃耀、多彩的極光持續整天整夜，詭祕的移動橫跨整顆行星的表面。雖然這個景象受到居
民及遊客的喜愛，其釋放的電磁波卻讓科學家頭大。

Negative effects removed: "The gleaming, multi-colored auroras that once
caused such headaches have been partially tamed by magnetic shielding.
Fortunately, their beauty remains even though their negative effects have
been reduced."

移除負面效果：閃耀、多彩的極光一度使人頭大，而現在問題已被磁場護罩消除了。幸運
的是，就算消除了負面效果，極光的美麗仍然依舊。


Metallic Ground 金屬地表

"Almost dirt-free, the hard, gleaming surface of this planet makes
agriculture difficult and potentially poisonous. The ease with which rare
metals can be recovered, however, is a great advantage. "

該行星堅硬、反光的地表幾乎沒有灰塵，不僅農業難以發展，還有金屬中毒的危險。不過
，好處是能夠輕易找到稀有金屬。

Negative effects removed: "Almost dirt-free, the hard, gleaming surface of
this planet used to make agriculture difficult and potentially poisonous.
Recent improvements in soil development, however, have eased the problem."

移除負面效果：該行星堅硬、反光的地表幾乎沒有灰塵。原本該地農業難以發展，還有金
屬中毒的危險，最近對於土壤育成的改良措施已經減緩了這個問題。


Psychoactive Air 精神刺激性空氣

"With an atmosphere saturated by complex chemical compounds, life on this
planet becomes interesting indeed if one does not breathe through a filter.
Though the inevitable wandering thoughts make serious scientific research a
bit difficult, it cannot be denied that everyone who lives here is really,
really happy."

該行星的大氣混雜好幾種的化學物質，使的所有沒帶空氣濾淨器呼吸的生物都變得興致勃
勃。無法避免的胡思亂想使的嚴謹的科學研究難以進行，但無可否認的是任何生活在這裡
的人都非常、非常快樂。

Negative effects removed: "With an atmosphere that was once saturated by
complex chemical compounds, life on this planet was challenging. Application
of terraforming technologies, however, has rendered the effects of the air
less intense."

移除負面效果：該行星的大氣原本混雜好幾種的化學物質，因此生活於其上會有困難，不
過透過環境改造已經使的大氣中的化學成分沒那麼濃密了。


Geothermic Activity 地熱活動

"With lava rifts that pulse constantly and vast networks of minor volcanoes,
two things are very clear about this planet: 1. Industry can be powered
cheaply and efficiently; and 2. Inhabitants must watch where they step."

有著時不時就衝動行事的熔岩裂縫和廣闊的小火山網路，這顆行星有兩件無庸置疑的事情
：1.工業發展的動力既便宜又有效率；2.居民最好要注意腳下。

Negative effects removed: "Applying enormous amounts of energy and grappling
with gravitational alterations, the previously uncontrollable geothermic
activity of the planet is now somewhat less intense."

移除負面效果：用了大量的資源並和重力作用搏鬥後，該行星原本無法控制的地熱活動現
在已經好多了。


Hostile Fauna 危險動物群

"While the beasts of this planet were first described as "giant," "primal,"
and "impressive," a more accurate description would have been "clever,
silent, and ravenous." Though they are eagerly hunted and in fact are a good
food source, few people enjoy living on a planet where the food pyramid is in
fact a circle."

一開始對該行星上的野獸的形容是「巨大」、「原始」和「令人敬畏」，但更準確的描述
是「聰明、安靜且貪婪」。雖然大家都想獵牠們，而牠們確實是個很好的食物來源，但沒
多少人喜歡住在一個食物金字塔會變成食物循環鏈的行星。

Negative effects removed: "While the beasts of this planet were first
described as "giant," "primal," and "impressive," these days the adjectives
would tend to "controlled," "manageable," and "delicious.""

移除負面效果：一開始對該行星上的野獸的形容是「巨大」、「原始」和「令人敬畏」，
不過這些時日對牠們的形容詞變成了「能控制」、「能管理」和「美味」。


Swamp World 沼澤世界

"Described by explorers using adjectives like moist, damp, wet, aqueous,
soft, lush, and well-hydrated, this planet offers abundant plant and animal
life but will certainly be difficult to build upon."

探險家對這顆行星的描述，不脫又濕又軟之類的形容詞。這裡有大量的動植物，但也不好
蓋東西。

Negative effects removed: "Described by explorers using adjectives like
moist, damp, wet, aqueous, soft, lush, and well-hydrated, newer travel guides
to the galaxy now indicate that it is mostly harmless."

移除負面效果：探險家以前對這顆行星的描述，不脫又濕又軟之類的形容詞。新版的銀河
旅遊指南現在說到這裡大部分地方沒那麼危險了。


Seismic Activity 地殼活動

"For those who like their rock and roll on a planetary level, this is the
ideal home. Be warned, however, that though geo-physicists will adore it, it
makes for nervous inhabitants and expensive construction."

對於那些想來個行星尺度的搖滾樂，這裡會是個理想的家。不過雖然地球科學家把此處視
為聖地，此處卻只有神經緊繃的居民和貴的要命的建築。

Negative effects removed: "By manipulating the magnetic core, stabilizing
continental drift, and improving construction techniques, the problems in
daily life caused by seismic activity have been notably reduced."

移除負面效果：在使用磁性地核、穩定大陸飄移和改善建築技術後，地殼活動造成的日常
生活問題顯著的減少了。


Long Season 長季

"With an unusually long orbital ellipse, the planet has very long seasons and
thus is exposed to extremes of cold in winter and heat in summer. While this
is fascinating for scientific experiment, it is difficult for agriculture and
makes everyday life stressful."

該行星的環日軌道是個長的離譜的橢圓形，因此季節非常的漫長，且只有寒冬和炎夏兩種
極端季節。雖然此處能激發科學的興趣，但卻不利於農業發展，且生活壓力非常大。

Negative effects removed: "While the long orbital ellipse remains a fact of
life, the application of terraforming sciences, advanced architecture, and
improved agriculture has changed it from a health risk into a quaint tourist
adventure."

移除負面效果：雖然改變不了還日軌道，但運用了環境改造科技、先進建築和改良農業技
術之後，這顆行星從有健康風險的地方變成奇詭的旅遊冒險地。


Meteor Strikes 流星雨

"While frequent and heavy meteor showers deliver precious metals for free,
they also make life dangerous and require continual repairs to any exposed
object. Radioactive and loaded with heavy isotopes, the meteors also wreak
havoc with scientific research (and researchers)."

雖然頻繁且大量的流星雨能免費提供貴金屬，但也威脅到生命，並要經常維修暴露的物件
。這些流星還有放射性和重同位素，因此對於科學研究（和研究者）造成毀滅性的浩劫。

Negative effects removed: "For the first time in the history of the universe,
the phrase "killer satellites" actually has a practical meaning. Thanks to
cheap and robust sources of energy and heavily shielded orbitals, major
meteor threats are neutralized high in the atmosphere."

移除負面效果：在宇宙歷史中，「殺手衛星」第一次名實相符。因為有這些便宜又堅固的
傢伙嚴密防禦星軌，主要的流星威脅在高空中就被消除了。


Hellgourds 天殺的葫蘆

"An unfortunate side effect of Tan-Erbo's horticultural tampering, these
large, carnivorous, orange plants will aggressively defend their territory.
While they are potentially dangerous, they also have delicious fruit that can
be used to make a wide variety of excellent candies. There are two risks when
colonizing this planet, then; aggressive foliage and tooth decay."

這些巨大、肉食性的橘色植物是譚─爾波的瘋狂園藝的可怕副產品，牠們會兇猛的防衛牠
們的領土。雖然牠們很危險，但其鮮美的果實能夠用來做出許多種好吃的糖果。要在此行
星殖民有兩個風險：飛葉快刀和牙齒蛀光。

Negative effects removed: "Experiments with certain behavior-controlling
luxury resources has produced an interesting side effect. When applied
planet-wide, the compound nicknamed "Trikker Treats" has the effect of
reducing aggressivity in both plant and animal species. As part of an anomaly
reduction process, Hellgourds, while still territorial, can be rendered
merely "annoying" instead of "murderous.""

移除負面效果：對於貴重物種的特定行為控制研究產生了一個有趣的副作用。當運用到行
星尺度上時，其中一種暱稱為「不給糖就搗蛋」的化合物能夠減緩動植物的攻擊性。該化
合物用來消除奇異點後，這些天殺的葫蘆雖然還是很可怕，但已從「凶殘」變成「惱人」
了。


-------------------------------------------------------------


Disadvantageous Anomalies 紅色奇異點


High Gravity 高重力

"The unusually dense core of this planet gives it abnormally high gravity for
its size. Architecture and industry must be adapted to deal with this. In
addition, daily life is tiring and difficult."

異乎尋常的緻密地核使這顆行星擁有與大小不符的高重力。農工發展都必須據此調整，而
且在此生活又累又困難。

Negative effects removed: "By the simple and straightforward process of
bleeding excess gravitons across hyperdimensions into a parallel universe,
the previously extreme gravity of the planet has been somewhat reduced."

移除負面效果：在用了簡單明瞭的方法把過剩的重力透過超維度扔到平行宇宙去後，該行
星過去極端的重力已經變小了。


Poor Soil 貧壤（譯註：其實我很想翻成平壤……）

"Though not lacking in dirt, the planet is surprisingly low in the nutrients
and microbes that turn it into a rich compound that stimulates organic life.
As a result, agricultural prospects are worse than usual."

雖然這顆行星不缺土壤，但養分及能轉化出生命所需的豐富化合物的微生物卻極端稀少，
因此農業在此幾乎沒什麼指望。

Negative effects removed: "The soil of this planet, once sterile and barren,
is now much richer in the organic life necessary for agriculture."

移除負面效果：該行星的土壤原本相當貧瘠，但現在農業所需的有機生物變得比較多了。


Polar Tempests 極地暴風雪

"Exceedingly cold winters and large continental masses drive this planet
through cycles of violent weather. This results in heavy wear and tear on
infrastructure, and makes farming--and life in general--unpleasant."

該行星的冬天極度寒冷，巨大的大陸板塊則把該行星推向了暴烈天氣的循環。這導致建築
的劇烈磨損及破壞，並使的農作─和一般的生物─都很不快樂。

Negative effects removed: "Controlled global warming, advanced
thermo-efficient architecture, and really warm parkas have greatly lessened
the negative effects of this anomaly."

移除負面效果：在控制了溫室效應，並使用高熱效率建築及非常溫暖的皮大衣後，這個奇
異點的負面效果就大幅減輕了。


Corrosive Soil 腐蝕性土壤

"The content of this planet's soil is acidic and metallic. Not only is it
difficult to grow food under these conditions, but the corrosive properties
cause trouble for machines and electronics."

該行星土壤成分含有大量的酸性物質和金屬成分，不僅農作物在此環境下極難生長，機械
和電子器材也無法適應酸性環境。

Negative effects removed: "Thanks to technologies based on terraforming
sciences, the once poisonous soil of this planet has been somewhat improved."

移除負面效果：感謝環境改造科技，這顆行星原本有毒的土壤現在改善很多了。


Strong Magnetic Field 強烈磁場

"A large, liquid ferrous core gives this planet strong magnetic fields that
fluctuate unpredictably. In order to counter this, much of the work done by
industry and science has to undergo the expense of being carefully controlled
and shielded."

一個巨大、液態的鐵質地核使的這顆行星有著不規則劇烈變化的強烈磁場。為了要抵消磁
場效果，工業和科技事務都必須支付昂貴的開銷以小心的控制和屏蔽。

Negative effects removed: "Once directed non-baryonic magnetic flux
technology was reduced to handheld size, the negative impacts of this anomaly
were greatly reduced."

移除負面效果：在導向無重子磁通量科技能縮小到手掌大小後，這個奇異點的負面效果就
大幅減輕了。


Mineral Poor 礦產缺乏

"Basically a big ball of silica and dirt, the planet's crust is abnormally
poor in metals and minerals. Both life and industry struggle to adapt in this
situation."

這顆行星就是顆由二氧化矽和塵埃做成的大球，地殼極端缺乏金屬和礦物，生命和工業都
必須在這種情況下掙扎適應。

Negative effects removed: "A number of major efforts, primarily terraforming
and meteor harvesting, have reduced the problems caused by this anomaly."

移除負面效果：經過大量努力、根本的環境改造和流星捕捉後，這個奇異點的負面效果就
大幅減輕了。


Kessler Syndrome 凱斯勒現象

"An odd remnant of a past, lost civilization, the upper atmosphere of this
planet is full of drifting debris. There is a cost to removing these
remnants, and space-based experiments as well as satellites must be either
expensively protected or often replaced."

一個古老、已消失的文明的奇怪殘餘。這顆行星的高層大氣充滿了漂浮的殘骸，要移除這
些殘骸需要一筆錢，而且太空基礎的研究設施和人造衛星不是要花大錢保護就是要經常替
換。

Negative effects removed: "Though it took time, patience, and very large
nets, much of the orbital debris that circulated the planet has been removed
or dumped planetside for recycling."

移除負面效果：雖然這需要時間、耐心和超大的網子，但環繞這顆行星的太空垃圾已經被
清除或扔到行星的另一邊準備回收了。


Toxic 有毒

"Toxic elements in the atmosphere and the soil make this planet difficult to
survive on. It is difficult to grow food except in protected laboratories,
and the unpleasantness of daily life weighs on the inhabitants."

大氣和土壤中的有毒元素使的生命在這顆行星難以生存。不在防備完善的實驗室中就無法
種植作物，且痛苦的日常生活增加了居民的重擔。

Negative effects removed: "Dust-based micro-machining is in its infancy, but
basic nano-factories using that technology have done much to convert the
toxic chemicals into harmless organic compounds."

移除負面效果：以星塵為主的微型機器人還未成熟，但使用此技術的奈米工廠已經足夠把
有毒化學物質轉化為無害的有機化合物了。


Acid Rain 酸雨

"Naturally occurring sulfur fumaroles cause highly acidic rain on this
planet. This places heavy constraints on architecture and transport as well
as creating a disagreeable atmosphere for the locals."

天然的硫氣孔使的該行星酸雨問題嚴重。這對農業和運輸的限制非常嚴重，也使居民成天
烏雲罩頂。

Negative effects removed: "Partially by reducing the effects of the fumaroles
and partially by hardening the infrastructure, many of the problems caused by
this anomaly have been alleviated."

移除負面效果：在一邊減緩硫氣孔、一邊強化基礎建設後，這個奇異點的負面效果就大幅
減輕了。


EM Radiation 電磁波

"Naturally high levels of Electro-Magnetic Radiation can cause havoc with an
electronic or mechanical apparatus. Technology must be either shielded or
frequently repaired, making both industry and daily life expensive."

天然的高強度電磁波能對電子或機械設備造成浩劫，不是需要好好防護就是得頻繁修理，
使的工業發展和日常生活都無比昂貴。

Negative effects removed: "Thanks to the work of an under-appreciated genius,
much of the excess EMR that caused trouble on this planet has been converted
into children's toys."

移除負面效果：感謝一位無名天才，該行星造成麻煩的大部分過剩電磁波現在變成小孩的
玩具了。


Irradiated 輻射性

"High levels of cosmic rays coupled with naturally occurring sources such as
radon make this planet a dangerous place. There is a high risk of
cancer-related diseases, and the radiation levels complicate scientific
experimentation."

高強度的宇宙射線佐以像是氡之類的自然物質，把這顆行星變成危險之地。這裡的致癌率
極高，且高強度的輻射使的科學研究難以進行。

Negative effects removed: "By developing and improving the ozone layer and
atmosphere while better insulating construction, a large part of the
dangerous effects of this radiation has been removed."

移除負面效果：藉著培養及強化臭氧層和大氣以隔絕建築物，輻射造成的危險被大幅減低
了。


Hostile Dust 危險的星塵

"The atmosphere shows unusually high traces of Dust, and that Dust shows a
tendency to communicate and network to the detriment of your systems. While
this does not prevent colonization of the planet, it will make industrial
exploitation difficult until a permanent solution can be found."

該行星的大氣星塵含量多的異乎尋常，而且這些星塵似乎能夠溝通及形成網路以損壞你的
系統。雖然這些星塵不會阻止別人殖民這顆行星，但卻阻礙了工業發展，直到能找到一個
一勞永逸的辦法。

Negative effects removed: "A brilliant young mathematician named Ial Adave
has developed the Dust Manipulation Transformations, a series of algorithms
that greatly improve the understanding of networking protocols and
communication in Dust interactions. Using this, many of the "ripple" effects
caused by hostile Dust interactions can now be dampened or suppressed
altogether."

移除負面效果：一個名為押．阿戴夫的聰明年輕數學家發展出了星塵操縱轉換系統，這一
系列的演算法能夠幫助理解星塵的網路及通訊協定。在使用這套演算法後，許多由有害星
塵導致的「漣漪效應」現在都能夠完全抑制或消除。


Endless Trouble 永恆的麻煩

"You have apparently discovered a planet that was a battleground during the
Dust Wars. As a result, it is a haven of unexploded ordinance, biological and
technological viruses, and other unpleasant detritus. While it is habitable,
it would best be colonized by citizens with nerves of steel and good
reflexes."

你顯然發現了一顆在星塵戰爭期間作為戰場的行星。這裡理所當然的是未爆彈、生物和科
技病毒、和其他有害物質的天堂。雖然這裡能住人，但最好讓那些擁有鋼鐵意志和絕佳反
射神經的人去殖民。

Negative effects removed: "An unlikely source of expertise has been
discovered in the form of an ancient Virtual Endless. Familiar with much of
the technology and techniques, Kyuind Neuil has been a great help in
lessening the infections, explosions, and attacks. The planet could even be
pleasant one day..."

移除負面效果：一個古老的虛擬派永恆族成為了令人無法預期的技術提供者。如同提供其
他科技和技術一樣，秋陰德．努伊爾在緩解這些感染、爆炸和攻擊上幫了很大的忙。這顆
行星有一天會變得更美好……

怎麼辦我真的好想把「貧壤」翻譯成「平壤」阿XDD

請大家務必批評指正我的翻譯，感謝！

到那時，在壁爐邊，當孫子坐在某位老人的膝蓋上，問道：「爺爺，你在亡靈天災入侵的
時候幹什麼呢？」 而他不用尷尬地干咳一聲，把孫子移到另一個膝蓋上，吞吞吐吐地說
：「啊……爺爺我當時在清淨農場挖牛糞。」與此相反，他可以直盯著他的眼睛理直氣壯
地說： 「孫子，爺爺我當年在立法院議場和那個狗娘養的三百暴民並肩作戰！」
