The abandoned world had no remembered name.

没有人记得这个被遗忘的世界的名字。
The planet was so obscure that it did not show up on even the most detailed of Protoss charts.
planet: 星球 obscure: 不显著的 show up: 露面 even: 甚至 detailed: 详细的 chart: 图表
星球是如此隐秘，以至于连Protoss最详尽的地图都看不到。
The scholar female Xerana stepped on the dusty, time-worn remnants of what must once have been a Xel'Naga outpost,
scholar: 学者 female: 女性 step: 行走 dusty: 多灰尘的 time-worn: 古老的 remnant:遗迹 outpost: 前哨
女学者Xerana一步一步在布满灰尘的破旧遗迹上走着。这残骸很可能是古老的Xel’Naga人的前哨，
probably the first living being to stand here since the ancient progenitors had vanished into history and legend.
probably: 也许 living: 活着的 being: 生物 stand: 站立 ancient: 古老的 progenitor: 先辈 vanish: 消失 history: 历史 legend: 传说
而现在，她也许是在这个远古的种族变成历史和传说之后，第一个站在这儿的生物。
She marveled at the idea and felt a stab of disappointment that she could never share this with the rest of the Protoss race.
marvel: 惊奇 idea: 想法 feel: 感觉 stab: 刺痛 disappointment: 失望 share: 分享 rest: 其它的 race: 种族

Xerana, like the others of the Dark Templar, had been banished from Protoss society, exiled from their beloved homeworld of Aiur.
banish: 放逐 society: 社会 exile: 流放 beloved: 心爱的 homeworld: 家园
Xerana，就像其他的Dark Templar一样，被逐出了Protoss社会，被迫离开他们深爱的家乡Aiur而四处流亡。
When the Protoss Judicator class had commanded that all members of their race must join the way of the Khala, a telepathic union that connected the Protoss in a sea of thought,
class: 阶层 command: 命令 member: 成员 race: 种族 telepathic: 心灵感应 union:合并 connect: 连接 sea: 海洋 thought: 思想
Protoss Judicator阶层曾经命令所有的族人都需要加入一个叫Khala的组织中，让所有Protoss人的思想通过心灵感应的方式汇聚成一个海洋。
the Dark Templar had refused to follow.

但是Dark Templar拒绝执行。
They became outcasts, persecuted because they feared the Khala would strip away their individuality, melding them into an overall subconscious mind.
outcast: 流浪者 persecute: 迫害 fear: 害怕 strip away: 剥夺 individuality: 个性 meld:合并 overall: 全部的 subconscious: 潜意识的 mind: 思想
他们害怕Khala会夺走他们的个性，让他们生活在一个大统的意识下。于是他们成了流浪者，遭到迫害。

The fabled Xel'Naga race had created all of them.
fabled: 传说的 race: 种族 create: 创造
传说中的Xel’Naga人创造了他们。

follower: 追随者 disagree: 相异 fundamental: 基本的 issue: 问题 comrade: 同伴 consider: 把…看做 brothers and sisters: 兄弟姐妹
尽管Khala的成员们在基本原则上和Dark Templar存在分歧，但是Xerana和她的同伴们依然把First Born——Protoss人——当作自己的兄弟姐妹。
And because they strove to better themselves in ways that the other Protoss refused to consider, the Dark Templar had discovered new sources of information.
strive: 努力 better: 改善 refuse: 拒绝 consider: 考虑 discover: 发现 source: 来源 information: 信息
他们选择了一条其他Protoss人拒绝考虑，但却更好的发展道路。因此，Dark Templar们找到了新的信息来源。
Xerana herself had unearthed many artifacts of the Xel'Naga and secrets of the Void.
unearth: 发掘 artifact: 人造物 secret: 秘密 void: 虚空
比如Xerana自己就发掘出了很多Xel’Naga族人的建筑物，也知道了一些关于Void的秘密。
The other Protoss did not have such things, and they might never learn unless they stopped hating the Dark Templar. . . .
learn: 了解 unless: 除非 hate: 憎恨
其他的Protoss人并不知道这些事情，而且他们也许永远也不会知道，除非他们不再憎恨Dark Templar……

Even among the Dark Templar, she was a loner, a scholar.
even: 即使 loner: 独行者 scholar: 学者
即使是在Dark Templar中，她也是一个独行者，一位学者。
She was obsessed with finding any information about the ancient race that had created the Protoss, and much later the hideous Zerg.

她很困惑，不知道怎么去寻找那个创造了Protoss，很久以后又创造了可怕的Zerg族的远古种族的蛛丝马迹。
But the ruins on this abandoned planet had been worn down by erosion, erasing the most dramatic of remnants.

Xerana并没有气馁。她继续往下挖。
She looked up, saw a gauze of grayish clouds crawl over the orange sky, and wondered if a storm was coming and if she might be in danger.

她抬头看了看，薄薄的乌云慢慢盖住了桔红色的天空。是不是暴风雨就要来了？也许那时自己会有危险，她想。
But the gray clouds, like visual static or smoke, soon dissipated. Xerana bent back to her work, searching the rubble.
gray: 灰色的 visual: 可见的 static: 静电 smoke: 烟 dissipate: 消散 bend: 专心的 search: 搜索 rubble: 碎石
不过那些乌云不久就退去了，像是一层烟，或者是静电光。Xerana于是继续工作，在碎石堆里寻找线索。
As twilight came, she allowed herself to imagine the evening activities that the Xel'Naga must have enjoyed.
twilight: 黄昏 allow: 允许 imagine: 想像 evening: 晚上 activity: 活动
