Out in Tatooine's Dune Sea, lying at the base of the Great Pit of Carkoon, rests a gruesome creature known as the Sarlacc. The omnivorous, immobile beast is almost entirely concealed beneath the desert sands. Only its foul mouth extends to the surface, ringed with grasping tentacles ready to pull any prey unfortunate to fall into the shifting sands.
在塔图因的沙丘之海深处，一个叫做沙拉克的可怕生物栖息在卡孔大坑底部。这只不动的杂食野兽几乎完全隐藏在沙漠下。只有那张肮脏的嘴伸出地表，嘴边布满触手，随时准备将不幸落入流沙的猎物拖入口中。

Its maw is more than three meters in diameter, and is a mucous-lined hole brimming with inward pointing teeth. At the center of the mouth is a smooth, pointed beak containing a fat, muscular tongue, blindly flexing in hopes of capturing a savory morsel.
它的食管直径有三米多，是一个有黏液外膜的洞，洞壁布满了内向尖牙。在嘴的中央是一个平滑而尖利的喙，里面有一条满是脂肪和肌肉的舌头，它盲目伸缩，期望可以得到一顿美餐。

Because of its isolation, the Sarlacc rarely feeds, as it must rely on animals that stumble into the pit. As such, it has evolved an extremely efficient digestive process. According to lore, the stomach pit of the Sarlacc keeps its prey alive for a thousand years, slowly dissolving its meal into needed nutrients, while the hapless victim is kept alive in searing, endless agony.
由于与世隔绝，必须依靠无意中落入坑内的动物生存，因此沙拉克很少进食。这样，它进化出一种极其有效的消化方式。据传，沙拉克的胃坑会让猎物存活一千年，把美食慢慢分解为必需的营养，而可怜的受害者将生活在灼热、无尽的痛苦中。

The Sarlacc was a favorite creature of the loathsome Jabba the Hutt. The bloated gangster would amuse himself by eliminating his enemies by tossing them into the Sarlacc. He and his criminal coterie would delight to see the Sarlacc's victims struggle helplessly, as they tried to climb up the slippery shifting sands of the Carkoon pit. Such movement would only stir the beast, which would strike out with a sticky tentacle, and tug the meal into its waiting mouth.
沙拉克是令人恶心的赫特人贾巴最喜欢的生物。这个浮肿的土匪把敌人扔进沙拉克口杀死，从中获得乐趣。他和他的犯罪团伙高兴地看着沙拉克的受害者无助地挣扎，试图爬出卡孔大坑滑腻的流沙。这种动作只会激怒该野兽，它会伸出有粘性触须，将美食拖入期待已久的口中。

Jabba's attempt to feed Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca to the Sarlacc ended in disaster. Skywalker broke free of his captors, and made short work of Jabba's guards, many of whom found themselves tumbling into the pit. Even the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett could not escape the disgusting creature, as an out-of-control rocket pack deposited the armored hunter into the Sarlacc's gullet.
贾巴企图用卢克·天行者、汉·索洛和丘巴卡来喂沙拉克，但最后以失败收场。天行者摆脱俘虏他的人，很快解决了贾巴的护卫，其中很多人跌进卡孔大坑。失控的火箭背包将声名狼籍的赏金猎人波巴·费特送入了沙拉克的食道，导致这位身穿盔甲的赏金猎人都无法逃出这恶心的生物。


衍生宇宙



The Sarlacc has been a puzzle to xenobiologists for years. Very few specimens exist, the largest being on Tatooine. The creature is so remote and so dangerous that extended study has yet to be deemed worthwhile.
多年来，对异族生物学家来说，沙拉克一直是个谜。这个物种的样本很少，最大的一个在塔图因。这种生物太罕见，太危险，因此更深入的研究还不被认为有价值。

The Sarlacc defies easy taxonomic classification. While evidence strongly supports it being an animal, many scientists point to its anchored root-system and spore-based method of reproduction as evidence of plant origin.
在分类学上，沙拉克很难被归类。虽然各种证据强烈支持它是一种动物，但很多科学家指出它用来固定身体的根系和基于孢子的繁殖方式表明它起源于植物。

On the few planets where Sarlaccs are found, legends have arisen regarding the creature. The fanciful tale of a "thousand year" torment inside the Sarlacc's digestive system may be more fact than fiction, however. Evidence exists of a fibrous network of vessels that attach themselves to a swallowed victim, grotesquely incorporating the being into the Sarlacc's own biological system. Such immersion is accompanied by mind-altering neurotoxins which keep the victim docile. The hallucinations coaxed by the toxins suggest that the Sarlacc somehow absorbs the intelligence of all its victims, who live on in disembodied torment.
在少数发现沙拉克的星球上，出现了许多关于这种生物的传说。然而，跟虚构相比，在沙拉克消化系统中经受“千年”折磨的奇谈怪论也许更像事实。有证据表明，一张纤维状导管网会缠住被吞下的受害者，诡异地将这个生命并入沙拉克自己的生物系统中。在这种融合的同时，致幻神经毒素能保持受害者顺从。由毒素产生的幻觉表明沙拉克以某种方式吸收了所有受害者的智慧，让他们生活在脱离肉体的痛苦中。

These reports are allegedly from the only person known to survive being swallowed by a Sarlacc -- the bounty hunter Boba Fett. His iron will and Mandalorian armor kept him alive inside the beast, and his weapons-covered suit afforded him escape from agony. It would be years before both Fett's body and reputation recovered from the Sarlacc.
这些情况转述自已知的唯一一个被沙拉克吞噬后又活着出来的人——赏金猎人波巴·费特。他的钢铁意志和曼达洛盔甲支撑他在这野兽体内的生存，而他全副武装的外套帮助他逃脱煎熬。几年后，费特的身体和名声才回到原来的状态。

幕后



Several original design sketches show a lively Sarlacc creature with moving tentacles and pronounced beak, a look that simply could not be realized for 1983's Return of the Jedi. Stuart Freeborn and his crew built the mouth and tentacles, complete with a hydraulic system that would move the grasping tentacles around. The sands of the Yuma, Arizona location shoot clogged up the system, and the film crew had to resort to using poles and wires to animate the creature. For the Special Edition of Jedi in 1997, the beak and tentacles were computer animated creations.
一些最初的设计草图表现了一个活泼的沙拉克拥有会动的触须和明显的喙，这样的外观在1983年的《绝地归来》中并不容易实现。斯图亚特·弗里伯恩及其团队制作了嘴和触须，再用液压系统实现触手的移动。在亚利桑那州尤马市拍外景时，沙子堵住了液压系统，影片工作人员不得不采用棒子和电线来完成这种生物的镜头。在1997年《绝地归来》特别版中，触须和喙则是计算机生成物。
