History 历史
This realm's origins are traced to the ancient race known as the Old Ones as a conduit through which they could travel to countless far-flung worlds without suffering from the risk of the tides of the Warp. It became a tool of this species when they became the first race to cross the vast gulf of stars in a single step and learnt to manipulate alternate dimensions. This quickly led them to attaining a mastery over the use of Webway Portals. It would later be used as a way for the Old Ones to outmanoeuver the Necrontyr during the War in Heaven leading to that race being turned into a minor irritant in the span of a few centuries. This ultimately changed when the C'tan entered into the war on the side of the now metallic Necron armies. By the closing days of the War in Heaven, one of the C'tan known as Nyadra'zatha had long desired to bring his eldtrich fire into the Webway. The Burning One taught the Necrons how to pierce the boundary of that space beyond space by way of Dolmen Gates whereupon they turned the Old Ones' greatest weapon against them.
这个领域的起源可以追溯到被称为古圣的古代种族，他们可以通过这个隧道前往无数遥远的世界，而不会遭受亚空间潮汐的风险。当他们成为第一个一步穿过浩瀚恒星鸿沟并学会操纵替代维度的种族时，它就成为了这个物种的工具。这很快使他们掌握了网道门户的使用。后来，它被用作古圣在天堂之战中战胜惧亡者的一种方式，导致这个种族在几个世纪的时间里变成了一个小麻烦。当星神站在现在金属化的死灵军队一边参战时，这种情况最终发生了变化。在天堂之战的最后几天，一个叫燃烧者尼亚德拉萨的星神早就想把他的超自然火焰带进网道。燃烧者教会了死灵如何通过墓石之门刺穿太空之外的空间边界，于是他们将古圣最强大的武器转向了他们。
In time, knowledge of the Webway would pass to the Eldar where the technologies used to create it were once taught to them by the Old Ones. These secret, invisible passageways between the Warp are noted as being ancient constructs and are older than even the Eldar know. The ancient Eldar discovered that it was possible to move through within its threads. From the many secrets of the Warp taught to them by the Old Ones, the Eldar created a pan-galactic network of navigable tunnels. It was the ancient Eldar who mastered the original Webway network. At the height of their empire, they used it to travel thousands of light years safely yet quickly and linked all their worlds. Their starships were thus able to move from one end of the galaxy to the other without entering realspace. By M18, the Eldar empire established Commoragh as its primary nodal port within the Webway. In this age, the leaders of the excess cults are known to have relocated their power bases into the Webway where they could command entire sub-realms. This pattern of behaviour continued between M25 to M30.
随着时间的推移，网道的知识将传递给灵族，在那里，用于制造网道的技术曾经由古圣传授给他们。这些位于亚空间之间的秘密、无形的通道被认为是古老的建筑，甚至比灵族所知道的还要古老。古灵族发现，可以在它的隧道内移动。从古圣教给他们的许多亚空间秘密中，灵族制造了一个泛银河系的航行隧道网络。正是古灵族掌握了最初的网道网络。在他们帝国的鼎盛时期，他们用它安全而快速地航行数千光年，并连接了他们所有的世界。因此，他们的太空飞船能够在不进入现实空间的情况下从星系的一端移动到另一端。到M18时，灵族帝国将科摩罗确立为网道内的主要节点港口。在这个时代，众所周知，恣纵教派的领导人已经将他们的权力基础重新部署到了网道，在那里他们可以指挥整个子领域。这种行为模式在M25到M30之间持续存在。
According to legend, a map of the Webway is known to have been made many thousands of years ago and resides in the Black Library of Chaos. The map contains many secret ways that are long lost or forgotten, though it is not believed to be entirely accurate in later years. Much of the Webway was either destroyed or damaged during the Fall of the Eldar. The energies of the Fall are known to have ruptured the hyperspatial pathways of the Webway in countless places. Despite the damage, the Webway still maintains a link between the Craftworlds, though portions of it have been breached by the Realm of Chaos, and have made these parts impassable. The Eldar are known to combat this intrusion of Chaos into the Webway. Those Eldar that survived within the depths of the Webway eventually became known as the Dark Eldar who made parts of it their home.
据传说，网道的地图是在数千年前制作的，目前存放在混沌的黑色图书馆中。这张地图包含了许多早已丢失或被遗忘的秘密道路，尽管在后来的几年里，人们认为它并不完全准确。在灵族陨落期间，网道的大部分地区要么被毁，要么受损。众所周知，陨落的能量在无数地方破坏了网道的超空间路径。尽管受到了破坏，但网道仍然保持着方舟世界之间的联系，尽管它的一部分已被混沌领域破坏，并使这些部分无法通行。众所周知，灵族会对抗混沌对网道的入侵。那些在网道深处幸存下来的灵族最终被称为黑暗灵族，他们将其中的一部分作为自己的家。
The Webway in the current age has drastically changed compared to its original form as it has been torn apart by both disaster and war. During the Great Crusade, the Emperor created the Golden Throne on Terra as a means of entry into the Webway in order to remove the Imperium's reliance on Warp travel and astrotelepathy. This plan involved constructing a new short section into the Webway and linking it into the abandoned Eldar network. After the psychic disturbance caused by the ill-fated attempt of Magnus the Red to warn the Emperor of Horus's betrayal prior to the Horus Heresy, the human-built sections of the Webway were invaded by Warp entities. Since that time, a psyker has needed to remain on the Golden Throne and hold the portal between the Webway and realspace. The Emperor fulfills this role.
与最初的形式相比，当代的网道发生了巨大的变化，因为它被灾难和战争撕裂了。在大远征期间，帝皇在泰拉上制造了黄金王座，作为进入网道的一种手段，以消除帝国对亚空间旅行和星语通讯的依赖。该计划涉及在网道中建造一个新的小段，并将其连接到废弃的灵族网络中。在荷鲁斯叛乱之前，赤红之马格努斯试图警告帝皇荷鲁斯的背叛，这一不幸的尝试造成了灵能上的干扰，之后网道的人造部分被亚空间实体入侵。从那时起，一名灵能者就需要留在黄金王座上，并守住网道和现实空间之间的门户。帝皇履行了这一职责。
The White Scars Space Marine Chapter believes that their Primarch, Jaghatai Khan, is lost somewhere in the Webway, forever cursing the Dark Eldar that lured him into it, although after 9,000 years of wandering, it seems unlikely.
白色疤痕星际战士认为，他们的原体察合台可汗在网道的某个地方迷路了，他永远诅咒着引诱他进入网道的黑暗精灵，尽管经过9000年的流浪，这似乎不太可能。
Background 背景
The Webway exists as a labyrinth between the Materium and the Warp. It exists as a part of both yet existing in neither. In fact, it has been described as not being a true dimension but instead a complex network of capillaries and arteries. This forms a maze of glowing tunnels making a tapestry of hidden threads that spread between the veil of realspace and warp space. Ultimately, it is a construct that spans the dimensions. Elements of its construction include complex psychic wards to protect it from being breached and hyperspatial pathways. Present day Eldar do not fully understand the exact shape or form of the Webway.
网道作为一个迷宫存在于物质界和亚空间之间。它既作为两者的一部分存在，又不存在于两者之中。事实上，它被描述为不是一个真正的维度，而是一个复杂的毛细血管和动脉网络。这形成了一个由发光隧道构成的迷宫，宛如一幅由隐匿丝线编织而成的挂毯，这些丝线在现实空间与亚空间的帷幕之间延展。归根结底，这是一个跨越了不同维度的构造。其构造要素包括复杂的灵能防护以保护其免受破坏和超空间通路。如今的灵族并不完全了解网道的确切形状或形式。
Webway entrances in the Materium 物质界的网道入口
In the shattered portions of the network exist dead-ends, mazes that trap the unwary, abandoned or destroyed pathways and some even inhabited by Daemons. The doorways into these parts are sealed with runes of power in order to prevent whatever unknown horror populating them from gaining entry into a Craftworld. Knowledge of a Craftworld's placement within the Webway is a secret kept by its Seers.
在网络的破碎部分，存在着死胡同、迷宫，这些迷宫困住了无警戒、被遗弃或被摧毁的道路，有些甚至被恶魔居住。通往这些地方的大门都用符文密封，以防止任何未知的恐怖进入方舟世界。方舟世界在网道中的位置是其先知保守的秘密。
Artificial portals into the Webway such as those offered by the Dolmen Gates are not stable nor easily controllable. In addition, the Webway itself manages to somehow detect these breaches in its hallways and seal these infected branches off until the danger has passed. Any travelers in these portions can face destruction as the network attempts to correct the breach.
进入网道的人工门户，如墓石之门提供的门户，既不稳定，也不容易控制。此外，网道本身设法在其走廊中检测到这些漏洞，并密封这些受感染的分支，直到危险过去。当网络试图纠正漏洞时，这些地区的任何航行者都可能面临破坏。
The Webway was used to connect the Eldar Empire in space, but it was also theorized that it stretched forwards and backwards in time. However, fearful of the consequences, the Eldar never experimented with the Webway's temporal aspects. The more enigmatic Harlequins say that there are remote locations within the Webway where the flow of time seemingly goes in reverse or does not flow at all. The location in the Webway where time flows backwards is known as Uigebealach. The location in the Webway where time does not flow is known as the Crossroads of Inertia. Inquisitor Bronislaw Czevak has theorized that constant travel through the Webway is partially responsible for the Eldar race's longevity. Czevak himself spent several decades in the Webway, which reversed his body's aging by several centuries.
网道被用来在太空中连接灵族帝国，但也有理论认为它在时间上前后延伸。然而，由于担心后果，灵族从未尝试过网道的时间方面。更神秘的丑角说，在网道的偏远地区，时间的流动似乎是相反的，或者根本不流动。时间倒流的网道地区被称为威格比拉赫。网道中时间不流动的位置被称为惯性交汇点。审判官布罗尼斯瓦夫·切瓦克提出理论，认为不断穿越网道是灵族种族长寿的部分原因。切瓦克本人在网道度过了几十年，这使他的身体衰老逆转了几个世纪。
Uses 使用
Through large arterial passages, spacecraft are able to journey into the Webway and allow the Eldar to move throughout the galaxy in order to wage war. Most such tunnels, however, can only allow small strike forces to travel on foot or potentially allow vehicles into their doorways. Incorporated into the hull of a Craftworld is a Nexus of Webway Gates that connects them to the Webway network. Storm Serpents have access to portable portal generators that power a Wraithgate thus allowing Eldar forces to travel directly onto the battlefield.
通过大型动脉通道，飞船能够进入网道，并允许灵族在整个星系中移动，以发动战争。然而，大多数这样的隧道只能允许小规模的打击部队步行，或者可能允许车辆进入他们的门口。在方舟世界的船体中，有一个网道门枢纽，将它们连接到网道网络。风暴蝮蛇配备有便携式传送门发生器，这些发生器能为幽魂门提供动力，从而让灵族部队得以直接传送至战场。
Eldar Webway Nexus 灵族网道枢纽
The Dark Eldar make use of mobile portals that link their forces by way of the Webway.
黑暗灵族利用移动传送门，通过网道将他们的部队联系起来。
The parts of the network are also infested by the wasp-like, psychic predators known as the Psychneuein.
该网络的各个部分也受到被称为灵能毒蜂的黄蜂般的灵能掠食者的侵扰。
The Necrons are known to make use of the Webway as they are a species that are deprived of psykers. Without the Webway, they would be forced to rely on slow moving stasis-ships which would doom them to isolation.
众所周知，死灵会使用网道，因为他们是一个没有灵能者的物种。没有网道，他们将被迫依靠缓慢移动的停滞船，这将使他们陷入孤立。
Despite the level of protection in their doorways, Daemons are known to find the Webway an easy path of entry into a Craftworld.
尽管他们的门口有一定程度的保护，但众所周知，恶魔发现网道是进入方舟世界的便捷途径。
The Emperor of Mankind created a doorway into the Webway and linked it to the greater network. However, because the Golden Throne was not constructed of psychically resistant material, the Emperor had to use his own powers to protect the human-built portions from the dangers of the Warp.
人类帝皇制造了一个通往网道的入口，并将其连接到更大的网络。然而，由于黄金王座不是由抗灵能的材料建造的，帝皇不得不使用自己的力量来保护网道的人造部分免受亚空间的危险。
