捷足的羁客 赛法利娅 Fleet-Footed Traveler: Cifera
扯谎猫游记 Lying Cat's Travelogue
1-1
一位飞贼讲了几个故事——
A thief tells a few stories —
「第一则故事名为：」
「金苹果？不必给最美之人。」
"The first story is titled:"
"The Golden Apple? It doesn't have to go to the fairest."
那座城邦名为帕福斯，
墨涅塔的金晖照拂于此。
城市中央栽着金苹果树，
唯有最美之人方能采撷。
That city is named Paphas,
Where the golden light of Mnestia shines.
The Golden Apple Tree sits in the city's middle,
Only the fairest can pluck its apples.
选美的比赛如期开展，
佳人们伸展曼妙的腰肢，
试图摘取头顶的果实。
每每将要触及之时，
一阵风却叫奖品倏然消失。
The beauty pageant begins on time,
As the fair ones stretch their supple arms,
Trying to pluck the fruits above their heads.
Yet every time the apples come within reach,
A breeze blows the fruit away without a trace.
围观人群扫兴散去，
唯见一位其貌不扬的少女——
她惊愕伫立，
怀中堆满金色的果实。
The audience in displeasure disbands,
With only one girl left standing there, her features bland —
Yet to her surprise she finds,
Her arms full of golden fruits, a harvest grand.
1-2
「第二则故事名为：」
「玩诡辩？可别把自己骗了。」
"The second story is titled:"
"Trying to argue? Don't trick yourself, please."
那座城邦名为埃杜利亚，
瑟希斯的根系深植地下。
善辩的学者手举乌龟，
他的理论却与常理相悖——
That city is named Idilia,
Where Cerces' roots bury deep and wide.
The sophist scholar holds a tortoise aloft,
But his theories? Common sense bereft —
「纵是运动健将，
也永远追不上这只龟。」
无人能将他辩倒，
他如愿得到冠军宝位。
"Even the best athlete
could never catch up to this turtle."
None can overturn him in arguments,
And he obtains the champion's crown in merriment.
可在学者要离场时，
一阵风拂过，乌龟落到他身前。
悖论莫名成了真——
他踉跄追赶了一天一夜。
Yet as he is about to leave,
A wind blows the tortoise in front of him.
And behold, his paradox becomes truth —
To catch up to the turtle, an entire day and night he spends.
1-3
「我要讲的第三则故事名为：」
「比诡计？算算谁是祖师爷。」
"The third story I will tell is titled:"
"A competition in trickery? Who do you think is the grandmaster?"
那座城邦名为多洛斯，
据说扎格列斯也曾在此受骗。
国王重金悬赏完美谎言，
欲再造欺骗泰坦的伟业。
That city is named Dolos,
Where even Zagreus was once tricked.
The king promises to reward the perfect lie,
Wishing to recreate the deceit of the Titan, his grand feat.
「依我看，世界是个葫芦！」
「不骗你，我们都是鬼魂。」
骗子们轮番挑战，
却无人令王中意。
"I think the world is a gourd!"
"In truth, we are all already dead!"
The liars take their turns in the challenge,
But no one pleases the king.
一阵风拂过，少女揭榜觐见。
等她再出来，已经拎着那袋赏钱。
旁人好奇，她用了何种诡计？
「扎格列斯只会说谎，
而我正是扎格列斯。」
With a gust of wind, the girl emerges before the king's face.
And when she leaves, she already has the king's promised gold in a pouch.
The others are curious as to what lie she raised.
"Zagreus can only tell lies,
And I am Zagreus."
1-4
「第四则故事名为：」
「喜欢钱？可以，要付出代价。」
"The fourth story is called:"
"You like money? Good. But you must pay the price."
那座城邦名为密底斯泰歇，
海风吹得人们醺然快惬。
家藏万金的守财奴向泰坦许愿：
「请让我点石成金！」
That city is called Mythemis,
Where the sea breeze intoxicates the people with delight.
A wealthy penny-pincher prays to the Titan:
"Please, give me the power to turn anything into gold!"
一阵风拂过，手中顽石金光熠熠。
可他只喜悦半日——
一个拥抱，妻子变成金币散落一地。
With a breeze, the rock in his hand turns to gold.
But his joy is fleeting to behold —
For with one embrace, his wife turns into coins, scattered on the soil.
他嚎啕着求法吉娜收回祝福，
却迎面碰见一位兜帽少女。
少女忍俊不禁地握握他的手，
「回去看看你的金库，
兴许少了些金币。」
「但你的爱人就在那里。」
He howls at Phagousa to retract the blessing
But sees a girl in a hood in passing.
The girl laughs hilariously, holding his hand in hers.
"Go back and check your vault.
Some gold may be missing."
"But your beloved is right there, waiting."
1-5
「赛法利娅，你又远行了许久。」
「有趣的见闻…*我们*想听！」
"Cifera, you took another long journey."
"And we want to hear... Your fun stories!"
兜帽少女在浴场中跷起双足，
指间翻飞着两枚硬币。
「简单说来，我去了四个地方。」
「尽情诓骗…收获满当。」
The girl with the hood dangles her feet in the bath,
As two coins dance and fly between her fingers.
"Basically, I visited four places."
"Tricked them to my heart's content... And came back fully rewarded."
少女按住话头，望向窗外，
泰坦肩上光辉将她右颊照亮。
The girl pauses her words and looks out the window,
As the light above the Titan's shoulder casts her right cheek aglow.
「黎明不会止歇，贼星遥落异乡。」
「你又怎知，我现在没在说谎？」
"The dawn will never cease, and the Thief Star wanders in foreign lands."
"How would you know that I am not lying right now?"
温暖的童年 Warm Childhood
2-1
多洛斯的城郊，
一个小小的织坊。
In Dolos' suburbs,
In a tiny weaving workshop.
缫丝的苍鬓老妇在门中匆忙，
她灵慧的女孩在门外游荡。
The silk-weaving old woman busies herself within,
As her smart child wanders outside on a whim.
丝绸自织机涓涓淌出，
柔亮者如晨，凄暗者如夜。
The silk pours from the loom,
Some bright as the dawn, some dark as the night.
老妇一生拮据，
她的生意从不讹骗。
The woman had lived her whole life in poverty,
Yet through her business, she never deceives.
「乖娃娃，听我说……」
「切莫无端扯谎唷，唯有诚实讨人喜。」
"Good child, listen to me..."
"Never lie and speak deceit, for people like you only due to honesty."
女孩笑着承应，
却被身后物欲横流的街道吸引。
The girl smiles and nods,
But her heart is drawn to the boundless desires of the bustling streets.
老妇还不知她编织的白裙，
早就沾上了狡诈的泥。
And the grandmother is unaware,
That her hand-made white dress has been stained by the mud of conceit.
2-2
「夫人，白绸论匹怎个卖？」
「先生，只需两千利衡币。」
诚实的价码，
只能换来微薄的收益。
"Madam, what is a bundle of white silk's price?"
"Sir, only 2,000 Balance Coins."
An honest price tag,
Can only meager profit obtain.
「这样卖布，我们会穷一辈子！」
女孩怪怨祖母，
嘴边翻飞出数条诡计。
"If we keep selling cloth like this, we'll stay poor for the rest of our lives!"
The girl complains to her grandmother,
While sprouting countless plots and petty tricks.
老妇听罢含笑不语，
用浸着夜色的绸缎，
为女孩裁出一只兜帽。
The woman smiles and does not reply,
Only weaving with night-shaded silk,
A suave hooded robe for her little spark.
「你明天担上几匹布，」
「去那城里，试试这些小聪明。」
"Why don't you take some of our goods
And go into the city tomorrow to try out those pranks?"
2-3
多洛斯城的花天锦地，
令人心和言语变得纷杂缭乱。
The mesmerizing moneyed charm of Dolos city
Turns minds and tongues into a whirlwind of confusion.
自诩耳明嘴利的女孩，
也敌不过那千百张多变的面孔。
Even the girl who prided herself on sharp ears and a clever tongue
Could not contend with the myriad shifting face before her.
待她归返，身无分文，满腔愤懑——
「我向贼神立誓，定要把他们的口袋掏空！」
She returns penniless and furiously seethes —
"I vow to the god of thieves that I will eventually empty those people's pockets!"
祖母笑着停下缫丝，
端上简陋的晚餐。
「傻娃娃，这种誓言不要让泰坦听。」
Smiling, her grandmother stops her silk work,
And offers some dinner with humble dish.
"Silly child, don't let Titans hear such vows and promises."
直到月色升腾，
一支华簪将老妇的白发结盘。
Yet when the moon rises,
A magnificent pin graces the old lady's pale locks.
女孩对惊诧的老妇露出笑靥——
「今天，我可不是空手而返。」
The girl smiles at the old woman, now stunned in shock —
"I actually did return with some catch."
2-4
白发上的华泽令人瞩目，
骄横的原主上门讨要。
The brilliance adorning her white hair drew all eyes,
And its proud original owner arrived to stake their claim.
女孩用妙计赢得的赌注，
在谎言中成了盗窃的赃物。
The bet that the girl won with a brilliant trick
Is described as a thief's loot through lying schemes.
老妇慌忙引咎，
坐实了不存在的罪。
「多洛斯的律法，血脉株连！」
The old woman, in her panic, shouldered the blame,
Confirming a sin that was but a fabrication.
"By Dolos's laws, we must also execute all her family!"
老妇用最后的秘密为女孩辩护：
「不，那只是我收留的街头遗孤。」
To protect the girl, the old woman reveals the final secret unseen:
"She's not my family, but just an orphan picked from the street on a whim."
人们以为这是谎言，
但女孩知道，祖母不善欺骗。
就像她谈及父母的去向——
People thought this to be a lie,
But the girl knows her grandmother cannot deceive.
Just like how she always glossed over questions about parents and kin —
「他们…只是去了很远的城邦。」
少女从未拆穿如此简陋的谎言。
"Your parents... went to a city-state far away."
The girl never bothered to unravel the threadbare lie.
2-5
「别跑，停下脚步…狡诈恶徒！」
「跑吧，跑得快些…赛法利娅。」
"Stop! Stop right there, you thief!"
"Run. Run as fast as you can... Cifera."
谎言推倒了织坊，
撕碎了老妇的美名，
令女孩背负罪行。
The lies overthrow the shop,
And tear apart the good woman's good name,
Leaving the girl with guilt and grief.
家的炉火是一场谎言，
最终被另一则谎言熄灭。
但若骗术再精明些，
火光可否燃烧不迭？
The hearth of her home was a lie,
Doused by another conceit.
But if her sleight of hand had better skill,
Would it have made that fire burn forever?
女孩披上兜帽，遁入无光的夜，
「我向贼神立誓……」
她自此贼不走空，满口诳诞。
The girl pulls down the hood and sinks into the starless dark.
"I vow to the god of thieves..."
And from that day, she never left empty-handed, her words woven with deceit.
只是彼时，女孩尚未察觉，
那日人们贪图的并非一支华簪，
而是她体内金色的神血。
However, back then the girl did not realize
That the people did not covet one simple pin,
But the golden blood flowing beneath her skin.
飞贼在人间 Thief in the Human World
3-1
若一道伤痕的价值，
等同一枚钱币，
那总在被人追赶的女孩，
可谓身藏千金。
If every single scar
Equals a coin,
Then the girl, always pursued,
Would be worth her weight in gold.
骗术、佻窃、夜盗，
总在最后关头露怯。
Deception, theft, and night heists—
But her nerves failed her when it mattered most.
女孩攥紧寥寥无几的战利品，
忍着疼痛、踏着啐骂逃离。
The girl clutches meager loot to her chest,
And escapes, muttering curses, bearing her pain.
「若是正面，下次就一定得手！」
她总渴望翻飞之币的祝福。
"If it were head-on, I'd definitely win next time!"
She always longs for the Coin of Whimsy's blessing and creed.
然而空中的钱币总是簌地消失，
仿佛诡计泰坦给予的回应。
Yet the coin in the air always suddenly disappears,
As if in reply from the Trickery Titan.
3-2
晨昏交替，
贼星在夜空几次徘徊，
岁月令女孩成为少女。
Day and night flow,
And the Thief Star makes circles across the sky,
While time molds the girl into an adult.
她那用来遮蔽身形的披风，
如今成了盖过发梢的兜帽。
The cloak once used to conceal her entire body
Now only suffices as a hood that barely covers her fringe.
「无妨，如今我不必四处藏匿！」
少女昂首阔步、口齿伶俐，
圆满的骗术盗来可趁之机。
"No matter — these days, I have no need to hide!"
With a confident stride and a silver tongue.
Her perfected fraud thieving every opportunity as a result.
而在幕匿时分，
寻金撷银的脚印隐没于月色。
当那身影再度现身，
已是诡计硕果的累累。
And at Curtain-Fall Hour,
Those treasure-seeking steps fade into the moonlight.
When she appears again,
Her arms are laden with money's weight.
3-3
要问什么是诈窃的艺术——
「骗穷人？太没收益。」
「偷富人？太没挑战。」
What is the art of thieving?
"Stealing from the poor? Not enough loot."
"Stealing from the rich? That's a boring task to boot."
少女眯起贪婪的瞳子，
看向被称为黄金裔的奇人。
The girl narrows her eyes of greed,
Towards those called the Chrysos Heirs.
贤者之乡的金藤、
尚死之地的圣骸、
海畔明珠的神琴、
千门之城的水晶樽…
The golden vines of the sages' homes,
The sacred carcass of the deathward realm.
The divine lyre of the seashore's pearl
And the crystal chalice of the thousand gates...
少女不知宝物的来历，
只知它们个个价格不菲。
The girl knows not the treasure's origins.
Only that they are all valuable beyond measure.
「有市无价，才是诈窃的艺术！」
"To have something priceless is the true art of thieving!"
3-4
可惜，诡计终有揭穿时，
飞贼久违地迎来失败。
A pity that deceits are all eventually revealed,
And the thief meets a rare defeat.
一根金丝识破她精妙的伪装，
英雄们擒住她的三只手，
将这颗人间的贼星囚禁。
A golden thread discerns her meticulous disguise,
And the heroes hold down her third hand,
To imprison in this Thief Star made of human feat.
「失手了我就认，不用施以怜悯。」
面对指控，她坦然束手就擒，
因为越狱是再简单不过的把戏。
"I take defeat with my head held high. Spare me your sympathy."
She frankly faces the accusations,
Knowing that escaping would be nothing more than child's play.
笼外的黄金裔含笑而问：
「你可想看看，我最珍贵的宝物？」
So the Chrysos Heir outside the cage smiles sweet:
"Would you like to see my most precious, a treasure bright?"
3-5
那是一件华服，
如同美神墨涅塔的圣体。
It is a dress,
Like the beauty god Mnestia's divine body.
比太阳更加耀眼，
比月亮更加华贵。
More blinding than the sun,
Rivaling the moon in its glory.
「它由神物织就，就连神明也会着迷。」
「但纵然万般诡计，也无法在金丝下佻窃。」
"It is woven by divine threads, it captivates even the gods.
But all the lies and deceit are revealed under the golden thread's query."
赫赫有名的神偷，
被这番言语挑动贼心。
The world-famous thief
Is stirred by such grand words into a flurry.
「那你瞧好，这最华美的衣裳……」
「将会永远留在我的宝库里！」
"Then, just you watch..."
This wondrous dress will forever remain in my own gallery.
贼灵的诞生 Birth of Spirithief
4-1
这是最坏的时代——
黄金战争再度开启，
扎格列斯的嘲笑满城飘摇。
This is an age of ruin—
The Chrysos War ignites once more,
While Zagreus's taunts ripple through the city streets.
这也是最好的时代——
多洛斯涌现三百侠盗，
其人均有瞒天的智谋，
诈富济贫，诓财挪赃。
This is also an age of splendor—
Three hundred thieves spring forth from Dolos,
Each scheming to conceal the truth from prying eyes,
Robbing the rich to give succor to the poor.
「他们个个欺天诳地，义胆侠肝。」
逐火的征程本已半途中断，
少女却向「金织」拍起胸脯。
"Every one of them deceives gods and men alike, righteous and valiant."
The Flame-Chase journey has been cut short midway,
Yet the girl pounds her chest at the Goldweaver, not afraid.
「『诡计』的火种近在咫尺！」
「此时不赌，更待何时？」
"The Coreflame of 'Trickery' is near!
If now isn't the time to risk it all, then when?"
4-2
预言将泰坦的形迹揭露，
金线将逃脱的贼神捆缚。
The prophecy reveals the Titan's trail,
Golden threads bind the fleeing god of thieves.
「骗术不错，不如放了我……」
「我能带你找到一切埋藏的财货！」
"Nice trick, but why not release me...
I can show you where all buried treasures lie!"
少女露齿一笑，
走向那强颜欢笑的神明。
The young girl flashed a grin,
And walked towards the god who was pretending to smile.
「我曾向贼神立誓……」
「定要让『诡计』自食其果！」
"I once vowed to the god of thieves..."
"That I would force 'Trickery' to reap what they have sown!"
4-3
涡心传出泰坦的呢喃，
「诡计」的尊神恳切相求。
The Titan whispered from the vortex,
The god of Trickery's earnest plea.
它向踏入试炼的少女许诺，
世上将到处光明、再无欺瞒。
They made a promise to the girl who entered the trial,
That the whole world would be bathed in light, no more lies and deceit.
「我的神权若不传承，」
「阴仄的谎言便永不再生。」
「而我，纵然失了火种，」
「也能在此处苟且偷活……」
"If my divine authority is not inherited,
Shadowed lies shall never again be born.
And I, even having lost the Coreflame,
May yet scrape out survival here, in secret."
少女想起童年的炉火。
「赛法利娅，唯有诚实讨人喜。」
The young girl recalled the hearth fire of her childhood.
"Cifera, only honesty is well-liked."
她撇了撇嘴，
「那听上去……」
「还真是个理想的世界。」
She pursed her lips,
"That does sound like..."
"Quite the ideal society."
4-4
「我当然没答应它。」
「不能耍诈的世界，多么无趣。」
"Of course I didn't accept.
How boring would a world without deception be?"
少女展示初获的神力，
将谎言塑造成真实。
The young girl demonstrated her newly acquired divine power,
Molding lies into reality.
「落败的泰坦，已沦为野鬼孤魂……」
"The defeated Titan is now naught but a wandering soul..."
可遥远的某地，
紫色的贼灵惺忪睁眼。
But somewhere far away,
A purple Spirithief opened bleary eyes.
它已忘记泰坦的前身，
只记得少女狡黠的留言：
They had forgotten their previous life as a Titan,
And remembered only the girl's crafty message:
「去采撷财宝吧，贪婪的葡萄。」
「等你在宝箱中重拾『诡计』的记忆，」
「我再将救你一命的报酬讨要。」
"Go, collect treasure, you greedy little grape.
Once you regain the memories of 'Trickery' from chests,
Then I will claim the reward for saving your life."
4-5
远离奥赫玛的日子里，
少女习惯了独自旅行。
In the days spent away from Okhema,
The girl grew accustomed to traveling alone.
在一处城邦，
她听说贼灵的传闻。
In a certain city,
She heard of a Spirithief, rumors aplenty.
「桀桀！名为巴特鲁斯的神偷，」
「会顺走你辛劳所得！」
"Hehe! I, Bartholos, master thief,
Shall take all you've labored to gain!"
这么说着，贼灵现身，
盗走少女腰间的钱袋，逃之夭夭。
So saying,
The Spirithief steals the girl's coin pouch and fled without a trace.
可一阵风拂过，
少女却已将它逮住，
「想逃？你的命可仰赖我的『诡计』。」
But a gust of wind brushed past,
And the girl had already caught them.
"Running for it? Your life was saved by my 'trickery,' you know."
新神与旧神阔别已久，
两位对手从此互为「盗友」。
The old god and the new finally reunite,
The two rivals who, from that moment on, became thieves and companions both.
只是贼灵的「盗友」总吓唬它——
「嘿，冥河的鱼正饿肚子哪！」
It's just that the Spirithief's "companion" was always scaring them—
"Hey, the fish in the River of Souls are starving, y'know!"
猫的通行证 Cat's Permit
5-1
一位飞贼坦露了几则谎言——
A thief reveals a few lies —
「第一则谎言名为……」
"The first lie is called..."
「侠盗们，与我一同算计神明！」
"Fellow thieves, come on and deceive gods with me!"
世人已经忘记那场盛宴——
无数诳语，
淹没了幽灵之日；
万千诡计，
燃烧为一夜狂欢。
The world has already forgotten that feast —
Lies unnumbered that drowned the day of souls,
Schemes uncounted,
Burning for a night of revelry.
以三百侠盗锒铛入狱，
换一位泰坦叹而受囚。
Three hundred thieves shackled in imprisonment,
In exchange for a Titan's resigned confinement.
「能骗到一次诡计老祖，」
「这辈子可真值了！」
"To have managed to trick the grandmaster of all tricks..."
"I can die happy now!"
这便是多洛斯的瞒神伟业，
连扎格列斯也在此城受骗。
This was Dolos's great achievement, the deception of the gods,
Where even Zagreus was fooled.
5-2
「第二则谎言名为……」
"The second lie is called..."
「诡计神？早成孤魂野鬼了！」
"The God of Trickery is now naught but a wandering soul..."
为何留下泰坦一命，
少女自问，仍弄不清。
Why did she spare the Titan's life?
The young girl knew not, even after asking herself.
是贪图它许下的财宝，
还是隐隐预见形单影只的宿命？
Was it greed for the treasure they promised,
Or had she vaguely perceived their lonely fate?
「因为你与我卑劣得不相上下，」
「不与高尚之人来往让人安心。」
"It's because you're every bit as despicable as I am."
"It's such a relief not having to deal with the noble."
少女轻描淡写、
自我看低，
唯独忘记，
诡计，也曾是支撑世界的神明。
The girl dismissed
And made light of herself,
Only forgetting,
Trickery was once a god that supported the world.
5-3
「第三则谎言名为……」
"The third lie is called..."
「永昼啊，照耀圣城无止尽！」
"O Eternal Day, endlessly illuminate the holy city!"
在黎明云崖，
大司铎的秘密，
预示那无光的夜将要来临。
At Dawncloud,
The chaplain's secrets,
Foretold the coming of that endless night.
「但若骗术再高明点，」
「黎明能否延续不息？」
"But if my lies are more sophisticated,"
"Can the dawn last forever, no end in sight?"
身负贼星的命运，
少女早已习惯行走阴影。
Bearing the fate of the Thief Star,
The girl was long used to walking in shadow.
可当她望向圣城的黎明，
却在心中将使命笃定。
But as she gazed towards the holy city's dawn,
Her duty became fixed in her heart, stalwart in might.
5-4
「第四则谎言名为……」
"The fourth lie is called..."
「没理由，只是不想再见你。」
"There's no reason. I just don't want to see you again."
少女也曾粉饰自己的远离，
却总瞒不过金线的问询。
The girl tried to mask her nonchalance,
But could never fool the golden thread's questions.
可最违心的恶意，
却最能逼人相信。
But it is the false-hearted malice
That most powerfully forces belief.
逐火的功臣甘做飘蓬断梗，
远行的羁客手握倏忽光明。
A true Flame-Chase hero willingly faded from attention,
While the wayfaring traveler grasps tight onto fleeting light.
她以神力捏塑面具，
遮住眼底最后的真心。
She used divine power to forge a mask,
And conceal the last of her true heart.
5-5
「第五则谎言名为……」
「不，已经无谎可说了。」
"The fifth lie is called..."
"No. There are no more lies left."
翻飞的硬币颓然落地，
诉说一段应验的宿命。
The whimsical coin fell to the ground,
Telling the tale of fate fulfilled.
无人见证的游记、
无人知晓的诡计，
如今还能说与谁听？
Travels unwitnessed,
ruses unknown,
To whom may these now be told?
「谎言总是谎言……」
「你却使它比坦诚更美丽。」
"Lies are always but lies..."
"But you can make them more beautiful than the truth."
黯沉的天空下，
金血浸透了飞贼的披风——
Under the somber sky,
Golden blood soaked the thief's cloak —
就好像金线为她缝纫出，
她从未窃得的绝世华衣。
Like a golden thread, tailored just for her,
An exquisite robe, that she never stole.
