3號以後的原文已經全數更新完畢

從這篇（應該說是上篇）開始，以後避難所資料來源就可能是The Vault Wiki或Wikia

原則上是Wikia，如果The Vault Wiki篇幅明顯常很多就換成後者

Vault 3 三號避難所(Fallout: New Vegas)
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault_3

Vault 3 is one of the Vault-Tec vaults in the Mojave Wasteland. Except for
some flooding in the lower levels, the vault is still mainly intact in 2281
and is now occupied by the Fiends, who killed the vault's original residents.

三號避難所是位於莫哈維廢土的其中一個避難所。在2281年時，除了一些被水淹沒的低樓
層以外，該避難所大體完好，裡面的居民被Fiends殺光，後者佔據了這裡。


Background 背景

Vault 3 is one of three vaults in the Mojave with human inhabitants, the
others being Vault 21 and Vault 19. This vault was one of the few control
vaults that had no experiment connected with it, and it functioned almost
exactly to the residents' expectations. Control vaults were designed to open
after 20 years, but the residents of Vault 3 decided to keep it sealed far
longer, out of concern for the possible dangers they might face outside the
vault. All was going well until an accidental water leak occurred, forcing
the residents to open the vault to find help. The original Vault 3
inhabitants opened their doors and began to trade with people outside the
vault. For a time, it went well and the inhabitants made a good living.
However, this also brought the vault to the attention of the Fiends. The
inhabitants hadn't set up any security, so the Fiends found little difficulty
in raiding and taking the vault.

三號避難所是遊戲中三個有住人的避難所之一，另外兩個是21號和19號避難所。該避難所
是少數與實驗無關的控制組避難所之一，而且運作的幾乎跟居民期待的一樣好。控制組避
難所被設計為在20年後開啟，但三號的居民擔心外面的危險，決定延後開啟。一切安好直
到一場意外讓水淹了進來，逼的居民開啟大門尋求幫助。原本三號避難所的居民開門後開
始與外面的人貿易，過了一段不錯的時光，但這引來了Fiends的注意力，而居民毫無防禦
，Fiends毫不費力就搶下了整個避難所。

In many ways, Vault 3 was the ideal post-apocalyptic community that had all
too often evaded Vault-Tec's many experiments. The vault’s isolation didn’t
affect the residents. They maintained an orderly, democratic society, and,
unlike other vaults (Vault 101 in particular), the overseer wasn't a dictator
or a megalomaniac. Once again though, as with so many other Vault-Tec
designs, the water pipes failed, and by necessity the community was forced
into contact with the Mojave's savage population which was ultimately their
undoing.

從很多面向看來，三號避難所完全不受Vault-Tec實驗影響，是理想的戰前社會。避難所
的孤立並沒有影響到居民；他們維持著規律、民主的社會；不像其他避難所（特別是101
），監督並不是獨裁者或自大狂。不過就跟許多其他避難所一樣，水管系統又壞掉了，居
民被迫接觸莫哈維的野蠻人，而這最終導致他們的滅亡。

Vault 6 六號避難所(Fallout Extreme)
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault_6

Vault 6 is one of the Vault-Tec vaults, located under Mount St. Helens.

六號避難所是避難所之一，坐落在聖海倫火山之下。


Background 背景

The original purpose of this Washington state vault in the vault experiment
was that it allowed small doses of radiation to be released into the vault
once a day, resulting in the population turning into an aggressive pack of
extremely irradiated feral ghouls.

該華盛頓州的避難所的實驗是每天洩漏一點輻射到避難所內，使居民轉化成具攻擊性的野
性殭屍。

Vault 8 八號避難所(Fallout 2)
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault_8

A Vault-Tec nuclear shelter, Vault 8 was a control vault located in western
Nevada. It was designed to re-colonize the surface after 10 years.

八號避難所是坐落在西內華達州的一個控制組避難所，被設定為十年後開啟重新殖民外面


Background 背景

Vault 8 was designed to house a thousand or so dwellers. It opened as
intended after receiving the all-clear signal, and its residents emerged to
begin rebuilding civilization. Vault City was the result. Years after its
residents emerged, the shelter was used primarily as a medical center (quite
possibly the best one in the Wasteland, outside of the Enclave or the BoS)
for citizens, a power source (although the nuclear power plant cannot sustain
a large settlement indefinitely), an information hub (Central Computer and
its servers) and a storage space for ore and other supplies essential to the
well being of the city.

八號避難所設計為能容納一千人附近。在收到「一切已安全」信號後避難所照程序開啟，
裡面的居民開始重建文明，最後建成了地下掩體市，而原本的避難所只剩下市民醫療中心
（大概是除了英克雷和鋼鐵兄弟會以外最好的）、動力源（不過這個核電廠無法一直供應
大量的人口）、資訊中心（中央電腦和其伺服器）、以及一個儲存礦石及其他必要補給的
倉庫。

Inhabitants of the city rarely (if ever) venture into the lower levels.
Servants are tasked with keeping the vault clean, but they are unable to
prevent deterioration - most of the vault doors are stuck and cannot be
opened, while foreign items rattle in the air ducts. There is only one
permanent inhabitant on the lower levels - Martin, who is a stuttering loner
tasked with looking after the equipment in the Command Center.

地下掩體市的居民幾乎沒去過避難所下層。他們是有派人去打掃但於事無補，大部分的門
都被卡死無法打開，而從外面來的東西卻一直往通風口堆。下層只有一個居民：Martin，
他是一個口吃的孤僻傢伙，被指派來照護指令中心。

Vault 12 12號避難所(Fallout)
https://fallout.gamepedia.com/Vault_12

A Vault-Tec nuclear shelter, Vault 12 was located under the city of
Bakersfield, California, and designed to house a thousand people. Its goal
was to study the effects of radiation on the selected population by not
closing the door. This resulted in the ghoul-town of Necropolis.

12號避難所坐落在加州的貝克斯菲爾德下方，能夠容納一千人。該避難所的實驗目標是在
不關門的情況下觀察輻射對特定群體的影響，最後結果是出現了殭屍城鎮：大墓地。


Background 背景

Constructed under the sprawling metropolis of Bakersfield, Vault 12 was
billed as "built with every amenity in mind for the prospective Vault
Dweller," and that it had "been fitted with the newest in Vault Water
Purification Systems. Able to take even the waste located in the sewers of
Bakersfield, this system is able to deliver over 15,000 gallons of pure,
refreshing drinking water every day." Those who signed on for this particular
Vault took their preparedness very seriously, earning the "Pressed Vault
Suit" award for their efforts. The Vault's true purpose, however, was to
study the effects of radiation on the residents. To ensure this, Vault-Tec
designed the Vault door not to close.

12號避難所蓋在貝克斯菲爾德都市圈之下，當時的廣告說它「以最誠摯的心替每個可能的
避難所居民建造」，還說有「最新的避難所淨水系統，連貝克斯菲爾德下水道的污水都能
處理，每天能製造15000加崙的純淨水」。那些設計這個避難所的人做的很好，還因此得
到了「Pressed Vault Suit」獎。不過這個避難所的真正目的是要測試輻射對居民的效果
。為了測試這個，Vault-Tec把該避難所的大門設計為無法關上。

On October 23, 2077, the populace of Bakersfield learned that the other
Vaults had been sealed. In desperation, they took to their local shelter,
forcing their way in to protect themselves and their families. The door
worked as designed: the radiation flooded in; those whom survived suffered
from ghoulifcation. In the summer of 2083, the survivors would leave the
shelter. Those that chose to stay founded the city of Necropolis.

2077年10月23號，貝克斯菲爾德的居民得知其他避難所都被封死了。在絕望之下，他們進
去12號避難所，期望能保護他們自己及家人。大門如同設計般運作：輻射沖進來惹，那些
生還者全部飽受殭屍化所苦。2083年，生還者離開了避難所，選擇留在貝克斯菲爾德的人
建造了大墓地。

By the spring of 2084, Set took control of Necropolis, wresting control from
the original Overseer. He, not wanting to be killed, was driven north and
lost to history. For the next seventy three years, Set would lead the city
unmolested from outside parties. Instead, internal political strife caused
some to leave, while a much more peaceful group was forced to take shelter
underground. Despite Set's disgust for the group, he reluctantly sent them
whatever water they needed, fearful that he wouldn't have enough people to
defend the city if it ever needed to be.

2084年春天，Set從原本的監督手上搶下了大墓地的控制權，原監督不想被殺，於是被放
逐到北方並消失在歷史之中。在接下來的73年中，Set領導的大墓地不跟外面接觸，有些
人因為內部爭吵而離開，而比較愛好和平的一群則被迫回到12號避難所。雖然Set很討厭
這些人，但他還是勉強送他們生活所需的水下去，因為他怕當面對外來威脅時會沒有足夠
的人守護城市。

我知道，我略過了一個避難所

理由很簡單：那個避難所實在太屌（而且版面也很長）

完全值得享有跟13號、101避難所一樣待遇：獨立一篇出來


請大家指正我的翻譯內容，感謝
