Quarren, or "Squid Heads" as they are sometimes rudely called, are an alien species characterized by the four tentacles that protrude from their jaws. They have deep turquoise eyes, and each hand is capped with finned or suction-cup tipped fingers.
夸润人，有时也被粗鲁地称为“乌贼头”，是一群在下巴上长有四根触须的异族人。他们的眼睛呈深青色，每根手指顶端都有鳍状物或吸盘。

Quarren hail from the planet Mon Calamari, a world they share with the native species that gives the world its name. In the waning days of the Republic, their watery world was represented in the Galactic Senate by Senator Tikkes, whose corruption eventually led him to leave Republic politics for more lucrative ventures. In his stead were such Quarren dignitaries as Tundra Dowmeia, Zil Topur and Nor Wedd.
夸润人来自蒙卡拉马里行星——这颗行星以另一个本土种族蒙卡拉马里人命名。夸润人和蒙卡拉马里人同享一片天地。在共和国日渐衰落的日子里，蒂克斯议员在银河议会代表他们的水世界。腐败最终导致蒂克斯离开共和国政坛，去寻求更有利可图的事业。接替他的是滕德拉·道迈亚、齐尔·托普尔和诺·韦德等夸润人达官显贵。

衍生宇宙



The Quarren evolved deep in the murky oceans of Mon Calamari. When they were first discovered by their world-mates the Mon Cals (as they call them), there was some initial confusion. The Quarren weren't as quick to evolve culturally as the Mon Calamari. As the Quarren rose to the surface from their ocean depths and met their cousins, they invariably attacked the Mon Cals. The Calamarians, equipped with better technology and higher intellect, bested the Quarren each time. After years of this, the Quarren were driven to near extinction.
夸润人在蒙卡拉马里的昏暗海洋深处进化。与夸润人同享一片天地的蒙卡尔人（夸润人这样称呼他们）第一次发现他们后，局势有些失控。夸润人的文明发展得没有蒙卡拉马里人快。夸润人从深海游到海面遇见蒙卡拉马里人后，不断向这个兄弟种族发起攻击。拥有更先进技术和更聪明头脑的卡拉马里人每次都打败了他们。冲突多年后，夸润人被打到濒临滅絕的境地。

This prompted the Mon Cals to perform a daring and controversial social experiment. The Cals had captured nearly a million Quarren throughout their struggles, yet did not want to free them, for they feared the Quarren would only fight until the Cals were forced to kill them. Instead, the Cals attempted to civilize the Quarren.
这促使蒙卡尔人做了一项大膽且有争议的社会实验。卡尔人在两族的历次冲突中一共擒获将近一百万名夸润人，而且不打算释放他们，因为担心夸润人会一直打下去，直到卡尔人被迫杀死他们为止。于是，卡尔人打算教化夸润人。

The first step was the removal of children from the parents. The Mon Calamari then taught this new generation of Quarren mathematics, philosophy, science and the other foundations of civilization. In 10 years, the Quarren young were released to their parents. As expected, this generation found nothing in common with their fore-bearers. They had learned not to hate their surface-dwelling cousins, but instead respected them. The young saw their parents and ancestors as primitive savages, while the elder generation believed their offspring brainwashed by the Cals. Within 15 years, the young Quarren had assumed control of the populace. Within 20, they had made peaceful contact with the Mon Calamari.
第一步是将儿童与父母分开。然后，蒙卡拉马里人向这新一代夸润人教授数学、哲学、科学等文明社会的基础知识。10年后，这些夸润人少年被放回他们的父母身边。正如事先所预计的，这一代夸润人发现他们与前辈没有任何共同语言。他们已经学会不去仇恨他们在海面居住的兄弟，而是去尊敬他们。年轻的一代将他们的父母和祖先看作原始的野蛮人，而年长的一代相信他们的后代被卡尔人洗脑了。15年内，年轻的夸润人掌控住了民众。20年内，他们与蒙卡拉马里人和平共处了。

The Quarren preferred the ocean depth as their home, but the two species eventually began working together. The Cals provided greater ideas and new concepts to the Quarren, while the Quarren mined the deep-sea metals to make those ideas into reality. The result was a network of advanced, floating cities on Mon Calamari. The Quarren prefer to live in the dark, deep portions of the cities, while the Cals live closer to the sunlight.
夸润人更喜欢将深海作为家园，但这两个种族最终开始合作。卡尔人为夸润人提供更好的构思与更新的概念，而夸润人通过开采深海金属将这些构思变为现实。合作的成果是他们在蒙卡拉马里上建立了先进的漂浮城市网。夸润人更喜欢生活在城市深处的黑暗中，而卡尔人住在更靠近阳光的地方。

The Quarren and the Mon Cals share the same language, but while the Mon Cals have adopted Basic, the Quarren have remained faithful to their oceanic tongue.
夸润人和蒙卡尔人说同一种语言，但当蒙卡尔人接受了基本语后，夸润人仍忠于他们的海洋母语。

The Quarren are a pragmatic, conservative people compared to the Mon Cal. Whereas the Mon Cals dream of brighter tomorrows, the Quarren never forgot their pasts, and the skirmishes and deception they perceive in the Cals. This has led to friction and outright hostility to the Cals from the Quarren. In fact, it was a Quarren who sabotaged Calamari's protective defense network that allowed the Empire to destroy several Calamari cities early in the Galactic Civil War. When the Empire attempted to subjugate Mon Calamari, many Quarren joined their world-mates to throw off the invasion. Afterwards, however, most Quarren wanted nothing to do with Rebellion. Many fled the world, searching for other ventures and avoiding the Imperial reprisal that was sure to come.
夸润人比蒙卡尔人更务实保守。在蒙卡尔人梦想更光辉的明天时，夸润人从不忘记自己的过去、他们与卡尔人的冲突和他们在卡尔人身上发觉的诡计。这导致夸润人与卡尔人之间出现了摩擦与公开的敌视。事实上，在银河内战早期，正是一名夸润人破坏了卡拉马里的防御网络，才让帝国摧毁了数座卡拉马里城市。当帝国企图征服蒙卡拉马里时，许多夸润人与同享一片天地的兄弟种族同仇敌忾，挡住了入侵。然而，在此之后，大多数夸润人不想与起义军有所关联。许多人逃离母星，寻求其它事业，躲避不可避免的帝国报复。

The Battle of Calamari, six years after the Battle of Endor, was the final straw for many Quarren. The Quarren spoke of a mass exodus to another world. Today, many Quarren can be found among pirates, slavers, smugglers and within various spy networks operating throughout the galaxy.
恩多战役六年后的卡拉马里战役是压垮许多夸润人的最后一根稻草。夸润人打算大规模外逃至另一星球。现在，许多夸润人当起了海盗、奴隶贩子和走私者，还参与了遍及银河系的各种间谍网络。

The average Quarren lifespan is 79 standard years. Quarren can descend to depths of 300 meters without breathing or pressure apparatus. When they descend to 50 meters or deeper, they must return to the surface slowly, to allow their bodies to readjust to the lower surface pressure. When coming up to the surface, they must spend as much time decompressing as they spent under 50 meters of water. Quarren have the ability to change the color of their leathery skin, but this is usually only demonstrated during mating rituals.
夸润人平均寿命为79个标准年。夸润人能在不呼吸或不借助压力装置的情况下下潜至300米深处。当潜到50米或更深处之后，他们必须缓慢回到水面，让他们的身体重新调节到水面的低压。回到水面后，他们必须花上在50米水深处相等的时间来减压。夸润人有改变他们粗硬皮肤颜色的能力，但这种现象通常只在求偶仪式上显现出来。

幕后



The Quarren first appeared in Return of the Jedi, then only identified as "Squid Head." The alien was designed in sketches by Chris Walas and Nilo Rodis-Jamero, and realized as a slip-on mask and gloves. Although the novelization of Jedi refers to a "school" of Squid Heads, only one was created for the film.
夸润人首次出现在《绝地归来》中，当时仅仅被称为“乌贼头”。这种异族人由克里斯·瓦洛斯和尼洛·罗迪斯-贾梅罗在草图上设计，由易脱戴面具和手套实现。虽然《绝地归来》小说版提到了一“群”乌贼头，但只有一个乌贼头是为电影制作的。

The Quarren gained its proper alien name in 1987's Star Wars Sourcebook, which established Mon Calamari as the Quarren homeworld. This information was used in production materials for both Episode I and II.
夸润人是在1987年的《〈星球大战〉资料集》中得名的，书中将蒙卡拉马里设定为夸润人的母星。这一设定被用于《第一部》和《第二部》的摄制材料。
