Background
背景Discovering HELIOS
发现太阳神核电站
The chapter was formed by Elijah, a scribe who was promoted to the rank of elder. The chapter's initial purpose was to secure the Hoover Dam for the Brotherhood of Steel. After entering the Mojave, Elijah began to show great interest in HELIOS One, and despite the paladins attempts to convince him that the site was impossible to defend, the Elder decided the vast potential of the site was worth the risk. Declaring that HELIOS would become the chapter's main base, the rest of the Brotherhood had no choice but to follow. Unfortunately for the Brotherhood, the New California Republic (NCR) had reached the Mojave by 2273, and had taken Hoover Dam.
钢铁兄弟会的莫哈韦分部由伊利亚，一名由文士晋升的长老创建，该部的主要工作就是为钢铁兄弟会保卫胡佛大坝。进入莫哈韦后，伊利亚长老开始对当地的太阳神电站产生了浓厚的兴趣，虽然他手下的圣骑士们尝试劝说他们的指挥官核电站的位置极难防御，但长老还是坚持认为此地巨大的潜在价值值得冒险。在宣布太阳神电站将成为分部的主基地后，其他的兄弟会成员只得服从命令。但是兄弟会点太背，当2273年新加州共和国刚抵达莫哈韦时，就立刻拿下了胡佛大坝。
War with the New California Republic
与新加州共和国的战争
In 2274, the NCR had officially set up a base at McCarran International Airport. From there, the NCR soon set its sights on the HELIOS One solar plant. Elijah, still believing that the plant contained an unprecedented military advantage, refused to leave the plant, and forced the Paladins to continue defending it.
2274年，新加州军将麦凯伦国际机场正式设立为基地。此后，新加州共和国马上把视线转到了太阳神电站的电力上。而伊利亚长老则始终坚信核电站内藏有价值无以计量的先进军事技术，强令圣骑士继续守卫电站。
Some time later, the NCR launched Operation: Sunburst to capture Helios One. Outnumbered 20 to 1 by NCR soldiers, constant skirmishing arose. Despite the Brotherhood being in control of far superior equipment, such as energy weapons and power armor, the Brotherhood had no reinforcements, and lost more and more soldiers after each fight. Paladins continued to urge the Elder that they should retreat back to the bunker, but Elijah ignored them, obsessed with the potential of HELIOS. Eventually, when the casualties reached too high, Elijah fled without warning; Veronica Santangelo was the only person with any contact.
之后，新加州军发动了“日灼行动”以试图接管太阳神电站。新加州军以20倍的兵力优势，几路围攻。尽管钢铁兄弟会掌握着远超对手水平的军事装备，如能量武器和动力装甲，但却没有援军，而且越打越少。圣骑士们请求长老将部队撤回兄弟会地堡，但长老完全无视了他们,他已经沉迷在太阳神的潜能中.最终,当兄弟会的伤亡到了无可挽回的地步时,伊利亚人间蒸发了,维罗妮卡·圣安杰罗是唯一一个在这段时间接触过他的人。
With no leader, Head Paladin McNamara took the title of Elder for the chapter. Leading a counterstrike, the remaining Paladins and Scribes fought their way out of the facility and back to the bunker, where they would reside for years. Against the wishes of most of the inhabitants, McNamara declared an official lockdown on the bunker; no members were allowed out, and anyone already outside weren't allowed back in.
在群龙无首的情况下，圣骑士长麦克拉马接替了分部长老一职。他领导了一次反击，使幸存的圣骑士和文士得以逃出生天撤回地堡，并在此隐蔽了数年。虽然遭到了大多数人的反对，麦克拉马还是以领导权限锁定了地堡，没有人能出去，也没有人进的来。
Current Status
现状The chapter operates a policy of strict isolationism: no outsiders are allowed anywhere near the bunker, and anyone found near it is killed. The only people granted access are patrols, scouts, and procurement specialists for food and other supplies. Although they now only have half the number they did at HELIOS, the NCR has multiplied rapidly, and was thought to be a much greater risk than before. The idea of outsiders joining the group is unheard of. The paladins have only remained sharp thanks to the virtual reality simulators and a firing range.
这个分部执行着一条孤立主义策略：外人严禁接近地堡，否则格杀勿论。只有巡逻员、斥候和购买食品补给的采办专家可以外出。尽管他们现在的人数只有占领太阳神时的一半，但新加州军则越来越多，所以现在外出要比以前冒更大的风险。也没人提过让外人加入的打算。而好在地堡里还有一些虚拟现实器和射击场可以为圣骑士们保持战备状态。
While the structure of leadership in the chapter has become questionable, Head Paladin Edgar Hardin has began to take his own action, and a lot of its members have began to follow him and his ideal of usurping the chapter's Elder, Nolan McNamara, who has led the group since the loss at HELIOS One to the NCR.
不过，现在该部的领导层已经备受质疑，圣骑士长埃德加·哈定已经开始动手了，他和他的支持者决定把从太阳神一直失败到与新加州共和国作战的诺兰·马克拉马赶下台，

The Brotherhood of Steel is a militant organization devoted to the preservation of pre-War technology and human knowledge. Their professed mission is to preserve pre-War technology and human knowledge for the benefit of future generations. In practice, its definition of technology is strangely selective, ignoring basic but potentially useful technologies (genetic modification of crops and civil engineering, for example) in favor of combat technology such as energy weapons and power armor; and even now, nearly two centuries after the Great War, the Brotherhood zealously restricts the use and knowledge of such technologies to its own membership.
钢铁兄弟会是一个致力于搜集和保存战前科技和人类知识的组织。他们最主要的工作就是保存这些知识用于造福未来。但事实上，他们对“技术”的定义很狭隘，并不注意那些基础但有作用的科技（比如说农业技术，民用工业，诸如此类）而是倾向于收集作战技术如能量武器和动力装甲，直到现在，差不多距离大战爆发两个世纪后，兄弟会还是固执的将这些技术和知识的使用限制在其内部。
The Mojave Brotherhood operated freely amid the Vegas wastes for several years, carrying out many reclamation missions without serious opposition. The balance of power shifted in 2251, when a large contingent of NCR troops entered the region and occupied Hoover Dam. Conflict was inevitable. Nearly two years of guerilla skirmishes culminated in a pitched battle at HELIOS One, a solar energy plant the Brotherhood had been refurbishing for several months with the goals of bringing it back online and activating its hidden offensive capabilities (the ARCHIMEDES II death ray). The battle for HELIOS One (Operation: Sunburst) proved a disaster for the Mojave Brotherhood. More than half its paladins and knights were killed. The chapter's leader, Elder Elijah, disappeared without a trace. The Brotherhood was driven from the facility, which suffered extensive damage. Survivors retreated to Hidden Valley.
莫哈韦部兄弟会在维加斯废土中已经自由活动了数年之久，并且在基本没受到对抗的情况下进行了很多次科技回收任务。而在2251年这种均衡的态势还是被打破了，随着大批的新加州共和国部队进驻莫哈韦和胡佛大坝，他们与兄弟会的冲突自然是不可避免。双方在近两年的散兵游击后，最大规模的战斗终于在兄弟会在数月的占领中试图重启其中所运行的阿基米德II轨道武器的太阳神电厂爆发了。对莫哈韦部兄弟会来说此役是一场不折不扣的灾难：半数的圣骑士阵亡；分部领导人伊利亚长老失踪；兄弟会被迫撤离发电厂，并在承受大量损失后逃回隐蔽谷。
Since that defeat, the chapter's leader, Elder McNamara, has restricted activity outside the bunker to occasional reconnaissance missions and high-value raids. All operations take place at night, and engagement of NCR forces is strictly forbidden. Though the Brotherhood's ascetic lifestyle has prepared its members for a sequestered existence better than most, the passivity of their current situation has proved highly stressful.
在此次失利后，该部新领导人麦克拉马长老严格限制了所有地堡外的侦查和高价值技术征收行动。所有行动改为夜间，并且禁止和新加州共和国进行正面冲突。虽然兄弟会一向低调的生活方式使它的成员们习惯了与世隔绝，但他们对现在的被动状态还是意见颇多。
Relations with the outside
外交
Since the NCR-Brotherhood of Steel War, the Mojave brotherhood has kept its contact with the outside world to a minimum, due to heavy casualties. Other than a few patrols that come in and go back out at night, no members leave the secure bunker and few people outside of the brotherhood ever enter or leave the Hidden Valley base. The exception being Veronica and others like herself.
自新加州共和国-兄弟会之战以后，由于损失严重，莫哈韦部兄弟会只和外界保持最低限度的接触。只有少量巡逻队在夜间往返于周边地区，没有兄弟会成员离开相对安全的地堡同时也没有外人成功的进入（或者离开）过隐蔽谷基地。当然，除了维罗尼卡和与她有着相同目标的人（这里到底指谁？邮差？还是其他兄弟会的采购员？）

This Brotherhood chapter uses a mixture of both the T-45d and T-51b models of power armor, with the T-51b being much more widely used .Their weapons are all extremely advanced, with tri-beam laser rifles being almost standard issue to the ordinary guard, while Gauss rifles are also used in high volume. Patrols sometimes even include heavier weapons such as the Gatling laser. Their scouts continue to find weapons in the Mojave, resulting in many unused weapons being stored in the Brotherhood armory. It seems that the Brotherhood Scribes are researching Night Vision optics. One of them even wants to invent automatic doors.
该部兄弟会同时使用T-45d和T-51b型动力装甲，不过T-51b型用的比较多。他们也装备着相当高端的武器，大部分兄弟会警卫都以三眼激光枪作为制式武器，也有很多成员使用高斯步枪。巡逻队成员有时甚至还会携带如激光加特林之类的重武器。兄弟会的侦查员会经常将莫哈韦各地的武器装备带回兄弟会，使他们的军火库总是被闲置的武器塞的满满的。有迹象表明兄弟会的文士正在研发夜视装备，他们中还有人在尝试制造自动门。
Notes
注意
It is quite well known for a 3-4 man patrol to leave the Brotherhood bunker residing in Hidden Valley at around 1:30 - 3am under cover of the manufactured visibility defenses, although most, if not all patrols go back to their bunker at sunrise before they are clearly visible.
你可以很容易的发现一支3-4人的巡逻队会于凌晨1:30-3点在隐蔽谷的人造隐蔽系统的掩护下离开地堡，然后他们中的大多数人会在太阳升起前返回可以清晰观察的地堡。
On his radio news, Mr. New Vegas comments on "hulking individuals" that have been spotted around Hidden Valley after dark.
有时候新维加斯先生会在广播里提到天黑后有人在隐蔽谷周围发现过“罐头状物体”。（...NCR的情报水平真的成问题...) |
