Brother (or Battle Brother) is the lowest rank within a Space Marine Chapter.

修士（或战斗兄弟）是星际战士中的最低级别。

Overview 概述

All Neophytes become Battle-Brothers after passing their initial trials and being implanted with the Chapter's geneseed, before earning honour in battle and rising up through the ranks. Battle-brothers endure decades of training before becoming fully-fledged Space Marines.

所有新进者在通过最初的考验并植入本战团的基因种子后，都会成为战斗兄弟，然后在战斗中获得荣誉并晋升。战斗兄弟在成为成熟的星际战士之前，经历了数十年的训练。

"Battle-brother" is also a general form of address used by Space Marines in conversation with each other.

“战斗兄弟”也是星际战士在相互交谈中使用的一种通用称呼。

The most common unit for a Brother to be assigned to is a Space Marine Squad of up to ten marines, including the Sergeant or equivalent rank from whom the battle-brother takes his orders. In a typical Codex Chapter, Battle-Brothers complete their training in a Scout Squad, then are initially assigned to a Devastator Squad to master long-ranged weaponry, then an Assault Squad to master close-quarters combat. Only after mastering both of these aspects are they assigned to the most common formation within a Space Marine Company, the Tactical Squad. If Battle-brothers show a particular aptitude for one of these styles of combat, they may remain assigned to these specialist squads.Those which show technical aptitude may be sent to Mars to train as Techmarines.

修士被分配到的最常见的单位是一个由多达十名星际战士组成的星际战士小队，其中包括军士或同等军衔，战斗兄弟听从他的命令。在典型的圣典战团中，战斗兄弟在侦察小队完成训练，然后最初被分配到毁灭者小队掌握远程武器，然后被分配到突击小队掌握近距离战斗。只有在掌握了这两个方面之后，他们才能被分配到星际战士连队中最常见的编队—战术小队。如果战斗兄弟表现出对这些战斗风格之一的特殊天赋，他们可能会被分配到这些专业小队。那些表现出技术天赋的人可能会被派往火星接受技术军士的训练。

The Dark Angels were known to alternatively address their Battle-brothers as “Knights”.

众所周知，黑暗天使也会称呼他们的战斗兄弟为“骑士”。

Equipment 装备

Battle-brothers are well-versed in the art of combat and are able to effectively use most weapons from the Chapter's armoury, including melee weapons such as the chainsword, ranged weapons such as the bolter or plasma gun, long-ranged weapons like the lascannon or heavy bolter, and short-ranged weapons such as the flamer or melta gun.

战斗兄弟精通战斗艺术，能够有效地使用本战团军械库中的大多数武器，包括链锯剑等近战武器、爆矢枪或等离子枪等远程武器、激光炮或重型爆矢枪等远程武器以及火焰枪或热熔枪等短距离武器。
