History 历史

Viewed with trust and friendship by Horus, Primarch of the Luna Wolves, Temba found himself placed in charge of Davin once it had been conquered by the 63rd Expeditionary Fleet. However, he soon found that the inhabitants of Davin's moon refused to comply with Imperial rule. According to Word Bearers Chaplain Erebus, Temba led his occupying forces to the moon in an attempt to bring the tribes there into the light of Imperial Truth, but at a parley with the tribespeople he and his men were struck down by a sorcerous attack that twisted their perceptions away from loyalty to the Imperium. More plainly said, they succumbed to the temptations of the Chaos powers. This event must have taken place not long after the 63rd Fleet left the system, as upon their return 60 years later, they discovered that the wreck of Temba's flagship, the Glory of Terra, had been derelict for almost that long. A significant number of rotting bodies found in the swamps nearby wore the uniforms of the 63rd. It appeared that Temba and all his men had perished.

影月苍狼的原体荷鲁斯以信任和友谊的态度看待坦巴，第63远征舰队一征服戴文，坦巴发现自己被任命为戴文的主管。然而，他很快发现戴文卫星上的居民拒绝遵守帝国的统治。根据怀言者牧师艾瑞巴斯的说法，坦巴带领他的占领部队登上卫星，试图将那里的部落带到帝国真理之光下，但在与部落成员的谈判中，他和他的部下被一场巫术袭击击倒，这场袭击扭曲了他们对帝国的忠诚。更直白地说，他们屈服于混沌力量的诱惑。这一事件一定发生在第63舰队离开该星系后不久，因为60年后他们返回时，发现坦巴的旗舰泰拉之誉号的残骸已经被遗弃了几乎那么久。在附近的沼泽中发现的大量腐烂尸体穿着第63远征队的制服。看来坦巴和他的部下都死了。

This was not exactly the case. While Temba's men reanimated as Plague Zombies, their commander had been more markedly favoured by the Chaos God Nurgle, or Nurg-leth as Temba referred to him. His body also long-deceased, Temba had become a grossly enlarged figure, a corpulent mass of rotting flesh surrounded by flies and wearing the ragged remains of his uniform. When the Warmaster Horus led an assault group of Sons of Horus Space Marines into the Glory of Terra, Temba was first found by Captain Verulam Moy, whom Temba killed after a brief attempt to convert him to Chaos. Horus arrived shortly afterwards.

事实并非如此。当坦巴的手下复活为瘟疫僵尸时，他们的指挥官更明显地受到了混沌之神纳垢的青睐，或者坦巴所说的努尔格-莱斯。他的身体也早已死去，坦巴已经变成了一个巨大的身影，一团腐烂的肉块，周围是苍蝇，穿着破旧的制服。当战帅特荷鲁斯率领荷鲁斯之子星际战士的突击小队进入泰拉之誉时，坦巴首先被维鲁拉姆·莫伊连长发现，在短暂试图将他转化为混沌后将其杀害。不久之后，荷鲁斯到达了。

During their confrontation, Temba appeared to express extreme bitterness at being left behind by his friend and commander to (almost literally as it turned out) rot in command of a backwater world. He attempted to sway Horus to his way of thinking with dialogue, but was forced to engage the Warmaster in combat. In his Chaos-form he was immune to most forms of conventional injury, and possessed of incredible swiftness for a being so bloated and bulky. Horus also noted his formidable swordsmanship, a skill he believed Temba had possessed little aptitude for. This may be explained by the fact that the corrupted Eugan Temba was armed with the anathame, a xenos weapon secretly stolen by Erebus from the Interex some scant weeks earlier.

在他们的对抗中，坦巴似乎对被他的朋友和指挥官留下来（事实证明几乎是字面意思）指挥一个闭塞的世界表示极度痛苦。他试图通过对话说服荷鲁斯接受他的思维方式，但被迫与战帅交战。在他的混沌形态中，他对大多数形式的常规损伤免疫，并且对于如此臃肿和笨重的人来说，他拥有令人难以置信的敏捷性。荷鲁斯还提到了他强大的剑术，他认为坦巴几乎没有这种能力。这可能是因为被腐化的尤根·坦巴装备了仪式之刃，这是艾瑞巴斯几周前从英特雷斯秘密偷走的一种异型武器。

Occasionally Temba's outline would shimmer, briefly showing an image of the pre-corruption Temba screaming in extreme distress. When defeated in combat and separated from the anatheme, Temba seemed devastated and horrified at his embrace of Chaos and apologized to Horus for his actions. He also attempted to warn Horus against the power of the things that lived in the Warp and prophesied that only Horus could avert a grim future where the Emperor was dead and there was only war. He finally died on the deck of his ruined flagship, with his friend Horus beside him. However before his death, Temba was able to inflict a devastating wound to Horus with the anatheme. This soon brought the Warmaster to the point of death and in order to save his life, the Sons of Horus brought the Warmaster to Davin's Serpent Lodge for treatment.

偶尔，坦巴的轮廓会闪闪发光，短暂地显示出腐化前坦巴在极度痛苦中尖叫的画面。当在战斗中战败并与仪式之刃分离时，坦巴似乎对自己拥抱混沌感到震惊和恐惧，并为自己的行为向荷鲁斯道歉。他还试图警告荷鲁斯，让他警惕亚空间中存在的东西的力量，并预言只有荷鲁斯才能避免帝皇死亡、只有战争的严峻未来。他最终死在了被毁坏的旗舰甲板上，他的朋友荷鲁斯在他身边。然而，在他死亡之前，滕巴能够用仪式之刃对荷鲁斯造成毁灭性的伤害。这很快使战帅濒临死亡，为了挽救他的生命，荷鲁斯之子将战帅带到戴文的蛇屋接受治疗。

• It is not explicitly explained how the anathame changed hands, but the obvious implication presented by the source text is that Erebus somehow caused it to come into Temba's possession.

• 没有明确解释仪式之刃是如何易手的，但源文本所呈现的明显含义是艾瑞巴斯以某种方式使其落入坦巴的手中。

• Eugen is a word of Germanic origin which means "noble", whilst Temba is an alternate spelling of Themba, an African word which means "trusted'.

• 尤根是一个起源于日耳曼语的单词，意思是“高贵”，而坦巴是滕巴的另一种拼写，滕巴是一个非洲单词，意为“值得信赖”。
