The Old Republic and the Empire that supplanted it paid very little attention to the remote planet Tatooine. Ironically, beings that called this dusty world home would be influential in bringing down both galactic governments.
旧共和国及取而代之的帝国很少注意遥远的塔图因星球。具有讽刺意味的是，以这个沙尘世界为家的人却拥有颠覆上述两个银河政权的影响力。

Tatooine rests in the distant Outer Rim, beyond the reaches of Republic and Imperial law. Even the Trade Federation lacked a presence on the desert planet. Poor, with very little industry to boast, Tatooine is a mixture of hard-working locals attempting to extract a living from the unforgiving environment and transients visiting the world for illegal ventures. Tatooine is controlled by the Hutts, and their shady operations bring many spacers, bounty hunters, thieves and other malcontents to the planet's few port cities.
塔图因位于遥远的外环，超越了共和国和帝国的法律管辖范围。甚至贸易联盟的势力都无法企及这颗沙漠行星。塔图因穷困潦倒，没有引以为荣的工业，这里汇集了在严酷环境中勤劳求生的本地人和在这个世界非法投机的暂居者。塔图因被赫特人控制。他们的不法勾当把许多宇航员、赏金猎人、盗贼和其他对现状不满的人吸引到这颗星球为数不多的港口城市中。

Tatooine has a seemingly endless desert environment cooked by the intense energy of twin yellow suns. Rocky mesas, canyons and arroyos break up the monotony of kilometers of shifting dunes. The days are hot and the nights are frigid. The air is dry and the soil is parched. Yet life persists on Tatooine, in varied, hardy forms. Indigenous sentient life includes the scavenging Jawas and the fearsome Tusken Raiders. Creatures found roaming the desert include banthas, rontos, dewbacks, scurriers, womp rats, krayt dragons and eopies.
塔图因拥有看似无边无尽的沙漠环境，两个黄色太阳的强大能量炙烤着大地。岩石台地、峡谷和旱谷点缀在绵延几千公里的流动沙丘中。白天炎热，夜晚寒冷。空气干燥，土壤干枯。但生命仍在塔图因以各种顽强的形式存在着着。土生土长的智慧生命包括爱收废品的贾瓦人和可怕的塔斯肯袭击者。徘徊在沙漠里的生物包括班萨、龙驼、湿背蜥、蹿跳鼠、旺普鼠、克雷特龙和尤皮。

Sporadic colonization attempts have resulted in scattered communities separated by vast gulfs of wilderness. On the edge of the Dune Sea is Mos Eisley, arguably Tatooine's busiest port during the time of the Empire. Not too far away are Mos Espa, Anchorhead, and Bestine township.
零星的殖民行为导致散居的社区被野外巨大的荒沟分开。坐落在沙丘之海边缘的莫斯艾斯利在帝国时代可谓塔图因最繁忙的港口。距它不远还有莫斯埃斯帕、锚头镇和贝斯廷小镇。

If not involved in Hutt business, most colonists on the planet eke out a meager existence as moisture farmers. Small homesteads employ devices called moisture vaporators to tug what little water vapor is suspended in Tatooine's air. This moisture is then used to irrigate underground crops or is sold directly to interested parties.
除非卷入赫特人的勾当，否则这颗星球的大部分殖民者都是作为湿气农场主来勉强维持生计。小农场使用一种被称为湿气冷凝机的设备来采集悬浮在塔图因空气中的微量水蒸汽。随后这些水汽被用来灌溉地下作物或直接出售给感兴趣的人。

At a young age, Anakin Skywalker was brought to Tatooine as a slave, and toiled away in Mos Espa before being discovered by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. A generation later, Anakin's son, Luke Skywalker, grew up on the Lars homestead moisture farm. The two were destined for greatness far beyond the desert planet.
阿纳金·天行者在很小的时候就作为奴隶被带到塔图因，在被绝地大师奎-冈·金发现前，一直在莫斯埃斯帕辛勤劳作。一代人后，阿纳金的儿子卢克·天行者在拉尔斯家宅的湿汽农场长大。父子二人命中注定要为远离这颗沙漠行星的伟大事业而战。

衍生宇宙



Though the Arkanis sector is exceedingly remote, it is permeated by a number of high-traffic hyperspace routes. Several of these join in a point in space close to Tatooine. Thus, the planet -- which would probably have gone unvisited otherwise -- became a busy stop-off point for travelers heading elsewhere.
虽然极其遥远，但阿卡尼斯星区是许多超空间交通要道的汇集之地。其中不少交通要道在塔图因附近空域的一个点汇合。这导致这颗行星成为一个繁忙的中转站，很多人在此短暂停留后前往别处，否则可能不会有人拜访这颗行星。

Tatooine's silicate surface reflects the light of its suns so intensely that legends tell of its original explorers first mistaking the planet as a third, smaller sun. Also in the system is a pair of uninhabited gas giants, Adriana and Ohann.
塔图因的硅酸盐地表异常强烈地反射着其两个太阳的光芒，因此相传最早来此探险的人误以为这颗行星是第三个较小的太阳。在塔图因星系还有两颗不适宜居住的气态巨行星——阿德里安纳和奥汉恩。

The first settlers of the planet -- called "oldsters" in local folklore -- sought to turn a profit by exploiting the ore found beneath the sands. The magnetic ore was soon discovered to have undesirable metallurgic properties. The weary miners and investors abandoned their failed mines and equipment, looking to distance themselves from this Core-forsaken world.
这颗行星最早的定居者——在当地民间被称为“老人”——试图在沙漠下面采矿来发财。人们很快发现这里的磁性矿拥有糟糕的冶金学特性。疲倦的矿工和投资者放弃了没用的矿场和设备，尽量远离这颗被核心世界抛弃的星球。

Not all could afford to leave. Those that stayed behind turned to moisture farming and trading to survive. When the Hutts came to Tatooine, so too did their wealth and illicit business. Tatooine was given newfound life as a trading post and backdrop for Hutt commerce.
并非所有人都有钱离开。那些留下的人依靠湿气农场和贸易为生。赫特人来到塔图因后，他们的财富和不法勾当也建立在湿气农场和贸易的基础上。作为赫特人商业的贸易前哨和基地，塔图因获得了新生。

A combination of magnetic ore desposits, twin stellar radiation, and prevailing wind patterns has made one patch of Tatooine's surface more habitable than neighboring areas. It is this zone -- where temperatures rarely exceed 43 degrees standard -- that is home to most of Tatooine's population centers. The official capital of Tatooine is Bestine, located some 200 kilometers west of Mos Eisley. Other communities include Mos Espa, Motesta, Wayfar, Anchorhead, Arnthout, Mos Taike and Mos Entha.
磁性矿藏、双恒星辐射和主要风场结合在一起，使塔图因表面有一个区域格外宜居。这个区域——温度很少超过43标准度——是大多数塔图因人口中心的所在地。塔图因的官方首都是贝斯廷，位于莫斯艾斯利以西200多公里处。其它社区包括莫斯埃斯帕、莫特斯塔、远行镇、锚头镇、昂索特、莫斯泰克和莫斯恩萨。

幕后



Tatooine was originally named Aquilae in the draft scripts of Star Wars, before adopting a name very similar to the southern Tunisian city of Tataouine.
塔图因原来在《星球大战》的剧本草稿里被命名为阿奎雷，后来获得了这个非常类似突尼斯南部城市塔塔维纳的名字。

Being the most explored planet in the Star Wars films, Tatooine required the greatest number of real-world filming locations. In Africa, Djerba, Matmata, Tozeur, Medenine, Ksar Hadada, the Chott El-Djerid, and La Grande Dune doubled as Tatooine locales; in California, the production crew visited Death Valley, and in Arizona, the sand dunes of Yuma.
作为《星球大战》电影里被探索得最充分的行星，塔图因是在现实世界取景最多的星球。非洲的杰尔巴岛、马特马塔镇、托泽尔、梅德宁、哈达达堡、杰里德大盐湖和大沙丘都是塔图因的取景地；摄制组拜访了加利福尼亚州的死谷和亚利桑那州尤马市的沙丘。
