Nelvaanians, also called Nelvaans, are native to the planet Nelvaan in the Koobi system. They are a primitive species of canine-muzzled humanoids that arrange themselves in a simple, tribal society. Authority in Nelvaanian tribes is held by a chieftain and his or her bond-mate, with a wizened shaman serving as a consultant on almost all matters.
内尔万人是库比星系内尔万行星的土著居民。这个人形种族的口鼻部像犬类动物。原始的内尔万人形成了一个简单的部落社会。酋长及其配偶统领内尔万人的部落，一名干瘪的巫师担任顾问，几乎在所有事务上出谋划策。

In Nelvaanian society, the fittest males become warrior scouts, hunting game for food and protecting the village from encroaching predators. Females are builders and gatherers, and are also tasked with the most important duty: the raising of the children. To Nelvaanian, motherhood is sacred. They consider their planet to be the mother of all things.
在内尔万人的社会中，最健壮的男子充当战士侦察兵，打猎觅食、保护村庄免受掠食动物的侵扰。妇女们建造房屋，采集食物，还有一项最重要的职责：抚养子女。对内尔万人来说，母性是神圣的。他们认为他们的行星是万物之母。

It was of great concern to the Nelvaanians of Rokrul village when their Great Mother appeared to fall ill. Though the village shaman, Orvos, had predicted the onset of an ice age in the coming years, the particularly fierce and obstinate winter faced by Rokrul village in the last year of the Clone Wars came without herald. It was as if the Mother's inner flame had guttered, for her tears -- or rivers -- had frozen and the wind carried her anguished cries.
罗克鲁尔村的内尔万人忧虑重重地发现，“伟大母亲”生病了。村里的巫师奥沃斯曾预计，数年之内，冰河期将降临，但在克隆人战争最后一年，一场来势异常凶猛又难以抵御的严冬还是毫无预兆地袭击了罗克鲁尔村。似乎“母亲”内心的火焰已经渐渐熄灭，她的泪水——即河流——已结冰，寒风传递着她痛苦的呜咽。

Things grew worse for the Rokrul villagers. The best of their champion warrior scouts embarked on a quest to determine the source of the Mother's ills, never to return. Soon, the village was bereft of male warriors, leaving women and children alone. They carried on, under the leadership of Chieftain Tuzes-Adaz, but answers continued to elude the Nelvaanians.
对罗克鲁尔村的村民来说，事情继续恶化。最骁勇的战士侦察兵们启程去查明“母亲”的病因，却都一去不回。很快，村子里的所有男性战士都出征了，只剩下妇女和儿童。她们在酋长图泽斯-阿达兹的领导下艰难度日，灾难的原因却依然无从知晓。

In truth, the disappearance of the Nelvaan warriors and the freezing of their countryside were both the result of the Techno Union. A secret mutant warrior development program was based in the subterranean caverns near Rokrul, powered by a siphon generator that bled all heat energy from the land. Captive warrior scouts were transformed into horrific mutants with cybernetic weapon implants as Techno Union scientists studied the effectiveness of hybrid droid-organic technology. They were inspired by the processes that made General Grievous so deadly; they had hoped to replace the battle droids with soldiers like this.
其实，不断失踪的内尔万人战士和他们家乡的严冬都是技术联盟搞的鬼。一项秘密的变异战士开发工程以罗克鲁尔附近的地下洞穴为基地。一台虹吸发电机为该工程提供动力。它正源源不断地吸走土地的热能。由于技术联盟的科学家们在研究人机混合技术的有效性，因此被俘虏的战士侦察兵们被改造成了有机械植入武器的恐怖异变人。赋予格里弗斯将军致命威力的工艺让科学家们备受鼓舞；科学家们希望用这样的士兵代替战斗机器人。

When Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker first arrived on Nelvaan following sporadic accounts of General Grievous appearing in the system, the Nelvaanians were at first distrustful. Little did it help that Skywalker interrupted the rite of passage ceremony of Tuzes-Adaz's eldest son. Remembering prophetic words of Shaman Orvos, Tuzes-Adaz brought the Jedi back to Rokrul, where they learned of the Nelvaanian plight.
绝地武士欧比-旺·克诺比和阿纳金·天行者跟着格里弗斯将军在该行星系出没的零星报告来到内尔万。一开始，内尔万人对他们怀有戒心。雪上加霜的是，天行者还打断了图泽斯-阿达兹长子的成年人仪式。但图泽斯-阿达兹记着奥沃斯巫师的预言，于是把绝地们带回罗克鲁尔。在那里，绝地们了解了内尔万人的苦难。

According to the shaman's prognostications, the strangers would cure the Mother's illness by following the path of her frozen tears to where her inner flame had languished. Skywalker, they believed, had the gift of the "ghost hand," a supernatural strength that gave him the ruthless power needed to slay all enemies of the Great Mother. Shaman Orvos did not divulge the full legend, however. He kept to himself that the ghost hand's power would overcome the stranger, block out the light and strangle life from all his loved ones. With regret, Orvos sent Anakin off; the Great Mother needed his strength, regardless of the dark consequences.
根据巫师的预言，这几个陌生人会顺着“母亲”冰冻的泪水，来到她内心火焰熄灭的地方，治愈她的病。内尔万人相信天行者拥有“鬼手”的天赋——这种超自然力量赋予他无情的能力，可以杀死“伟大母亲”的所有敌人。然后，奥沃斯巫师没有揭示传说的全部内容。只有他知道，“鬼手”的能力会吞没这个陌生人，遮蔽光明，扼死所有他挚爱的人。奥沃斯怀着惋惜的心情送走阿纳金；“伟大母亲”需要阿纳金的力量，不论后果多么黑暗。

Anakin became a champion of the Nelvaanians. He underwent the initiation rites that saw his skin discolored by the painful tracks of bruise-leech crawlers. He followed the Shaman's directions to the subterranean caverns, and after witnessing a disturbing vision of his future, realized that he had stumbled upon the Techno Union operation.
阿纳金成为内尔万人的斗士。他接受启程仪式，忍着疼痛，看着自己的皮肤被伤蛭蠕虫留下的爬痕染上颜色。按照巫师的指示，他来到地下洞穴。在幻觉中目睹自己令人不安的未来之后，他意识到自己发现了技术联盟的设施。

Skywalker was repulsed to see what the Skakoan scientists had devised. Many proud Nelvaanian warriors had been reduced to bestial monstrosities, their flesh coupled with intrusive technological additions, like targeting arrays, controlling devices, and blaster weaponry.
斯卡科人科学家的发明让天行者难以接受。许许多多自豪的内尔万人战士沦为野兽，他们的血肉与植入的瞄准天线、火控装置和爆能枪械等科技附件交织在一起。

Skywalker freed the Nelvaan warriors, who regained their compassion when one of the most recent additions to their transformed ranks, Harvos, reminded them of their origins. The warriors turned on the Techno Union scientists. Skywalker destroyed the siphon generator, and in a momentary fit of rage, killed the last of the Skakoan scientists through the power of the Force. The freed Nelvaan mutants recognized Anakin as the warrior of legend: ghost hand.
天行者释放了内尔万人战士。在最后接受改造的人之一哈沃斯的提醒下，他们记起自己原有的身份，恢复了理智。战士们向技术联盟的科学家们发动进攻。天行者摧毁了虹吸发电机，在一时的狂怒中，他用原力把斯卡科人科学家赶尽杀绝。自由了的内尔万人变异者发现阿纳金就是传说中的武士：鬼手。

The warriors returned to Rokrul. It was with initial hesitation that they were met by their families, for they were left difficult to recognize due to the horrible experimentations of the Techno Union. But in time, the villagers saw through their deformities, and welcomed them back to their homes.
战士们回到罗克鲁尔。他们已被技术联盟的恐怖试验折磨得面目全非，他们与家人见面时，双方最初有过短暂的迟疑。但透过他们狰狞的外表，村民们还是认出了他们，欢迎他们回家。
