以蜜度人•论蜜酿与性格 To Know Something Through Sweets: A Study of Honey Brew and Personality

躺在酿造区附近的石板，记录着些许蜜酿的「小知识」，笔迹歪歪扭扭，似乎作者其时正处于迷醉状态。 A stone tablet near the brewing area that contains some "fun facts" about honey brew, written in wobbly handwriting. Seems like the author was quite tips

【序】

Preface

蜜酿很好喝，喜欢蜜酿的都是好人。

Honey brew tastes great, and anyone who likes it is a good person.

但是好人也分很多种，所以我们要来看看他们到底有多好。

But good people come in many varieties, so let's see just how good they really are.

【序二】

Preface II

我为什么要写这篇文章，因为我是学者，我现在很开心。一切逻辑都很通顺。

Why am I writing this? Because I'm a scholar, and I'm happy right now. Everything logically makes sense.

我没喝大，没有。

And no, I'm not drunk. Not at all.

【按照口味】

By Flavor

-葡萄味（原初蜜酿）

• Grape (Original honey brew)

那帮天空族人的最爱。我估计，他们坚持要喝纯的是因为天上没蜜酿。

A favorite of those Skyfolk. I figure they insist on pure honey brew because there's no such thing in the sky to begin with.

问了一圈，忠于原味的人还不少，老古董真多啊。

After asking around, it turns out plenty of folks are still loyal to the original taste. There sure are a lot of old-schoolers.

-石榴味（鲜血蜜酿）

• Pomegranate (Sanguine honey brew)

一个大家都知道的知识：石榴味的蜜酿不含任何葡萄。

A well-known fact: A honey brew of pomegranate flavor contains zero grapes.

另一个大家都知道的知识：如果一个人宣称自己喜欢石榴味的蜜酿（特别是用了「怀念」一词的那些人），请不要惹恼他们。因为你大概率打不过。

Another fact everyone knows: If someone claims to prefer pomegranate honey brew, especially those who use the word "nostalgia," don't mess with them. You probably don't stand a chance fighting against them.

-麦子味（黄金蜜酿）

• Wheat (Chrysos honey brew)

「仙馔秘酿跟神血蜜露大家都喝不着，但英雄般的金色总是让人蠢蠢欲动的。

"None of us can taste Celestial Ambrosia or the Dew of Divine Blood, but that heroic golden color still makes everyone crave a sip.

黄金蜜酿便是喜好人数最多的一种口味，它象征着人们对于未来的向往。」

Chrysos honey brew is a very popular flavor, representing people's hopes for the future."

笑死，以上都是广告标语。但别说，我也最喜欢这种味道。

Ahahaha. The above is total advertising nonsense. But I actually like this flavor too.

……

...

-薄荷味（花叶蜜酿）

• Mint (Herbal honey brew)

全翁法罗斯只有树庭出身的人会点这种蜜酿。味道冲得就和他们的研究课题一样。

In all of Amphoreus, only those from the Grove would order this kind of honey brew. Its flavor is as offensive as their research topics.

总喜欢跟人抬杠，遇到事总是打破砂锅问到底。不过真出了事还得找他们。

They love to argue and question everything until they've unveiled everything. But when trouble comes knocking? They're exactly who you need.

可惜，自从那位言辞辛辣的教授自愿变成块石头，已经很久没人点这个了。

Shame that hardly anyone orders this anymore since that sharp-tongued professor chose to become stone.

-随便给我一杯就行（烂）

Just Give Me Anything (Awful)

这些人是来聊天的，他们根本不喜欢蜜酿。可以把他们赶走，法吉娜大人会赞美你的。

These people came to talk. They don't like honey brew at all. Feel free to kick them out. The great Phagousa would shower you with praise.

【按照浓度】

By Concentration

我写这个干嘛，法吉娜的蜜酿浓度全是随机的，海瑟音大人接管之后也没变多少，但写都写了就写一下吧。

Why did I even start this section? The concentration of Phagousa's honey brews is all randomized, and Lady Hysilens hasn't changed that tradition. But since I've begun, I might as well finish it.

因为是随机的，所以对浓度的喜好并不会影响我对一个人的看法。

The randomness means I never judge someone based on which strength they prefer.

-非常淡（迷醉一成以下）

• Very Light (Below 10% Intoxication)

~~喜欢这种蜜酿的家伙都是怂包！！！！！！~~容易入口，且深受大众喜爱，当海洋的神力快要从你的肚子里蹦到嘴边的时候，人们都祈求下一瓶开到的蜜酿是这种浓度的。

Only absolute cowards drink this watery trash of a honey brew!!! Gentle on the palate and universally adored. When the Ocean's power threatens to erupt from your stomach up to your mouth, everyone prays their next bottle is of this strength.

这一浓度的拥护者都拥有平易近人的特质，就像个孬种诸如那些外乡人从军不久的年轻人，虽然他们现在也都一千多岁了

Those who stand by this concentration are typically welcoming, like total pushovers like those outworlders newly enlisted soldiers. Though ironically, they're all over a thousand years old now.

-淡（迷醉一成至两成）

• Light (10% to 20% Intoxication)

哦我喜欢的，看看我就知道喜欢这个浓度的人都什么样了——开朗，有探究心，长期伴侣的最佳人选，唯一的缺点是喜怒无常。

Ah, my personal favorite! Wanna know how fans of this strength are like? Just look at me! Cheerful, full of curiosity, perfect long-term companion material, with occasional mood swings as our only drawback.

推荐棉花味的。

I especially recommend it with cotton flavor.

-普通（迷醉两成到三成半）

• Medium (20% to 35% Intoxication)

喜欢这个浓度的人，一言以蔽之就是普通人，最爱干的事就是三两聚堆，一杯接着一杯的灌。

Fans of this strength are, simply put, your average people. Nothing makes them happier than huddling together and knocking back drink after drink.

「咕噜——这蜜酿浓的恰到好处，赞美法吉娜。」

"*gulp* Ahh... this brew has the perfect punch. All praise to Phagousa!"

说起来总是在一起的什么什么爵和另外一个爵也喜欢这种来着，这些爵名可真难记。

Thinking about it, those two inseparable dukes also prefer this strength. I can never get those Dux titles right.

-浓（迷醉三至五成）

• Strong (30% to 50% Intoxication)

不懂，也不想懂。

I don't get it, and I don't want to.

-非常浓（迷醉五成以上）

• Very Strong (Above 50% Intoxication)

噢，金织爵大人，我想念您的手艺了。

Oh, Dux Goldweaver, I just miss your masterful skills.

喜欢这种浓度的人，多半在战争中丰功累累，亦或是留下过什么创口——不管是心理上还是外在上。

Folks who favor this strength have typically either racked up impressive battlefield achievements or bear significant scars — mental or physical.

再要不就是他们生来就特别坚毅。建议多和这些人交朋友，他们嘴里说出来的故事能把我淹死。

Or perhaps they were simply born with exceptional resilience. I recommend making friends with these folks. The stories they tell could drown me.

-仿制蜜酿（不会迷醉，只是种仿了口味的饮料）

• Sober Brew (Non-intoxicating beverage that replicates the flavor only)

差点忘了还有这东西。

I nearly forgot about this.

据传说是在很久前，一位蜜酿主理人为那位质子圣女大人专门调配的，后来发现好像是一场误会。

Legend tells that long ago, a honey brew manager crafted this specially for the child hostage Holy Maiden, only to discover the whole thing was a misunderstanding.

本想封存，却被人发现，拿来当蜜酿替代品。毕竟总不能迷醉着上战场吧。

They planned to seal it away forever, but someone discovered it and repurposed it as a honey brew substitute. Can't exactly march into battle intoxicated, can you?

现在没了，本来产量就没多少，欢宴开始前全被一只猫喝了。

It's all gone now. Production was already limited, and a cat somehow consumed the entire stock before our revelry began.

我还真挺想尝尝的。

I really wish I could have tried it.

【后记】

Afterword

哦！海瑟音在上，写这篇石板手记花了我六时三刻，写完我已经彻底清醒了。

Goodness! By Hysilens above, I've spent six hours and three quints on this tablet journal, and I'm completely sober now.

我都写了些什么乱七八糟的。

What absolute drivel have I written here?

但反正大家都醉了，欢宴永无止境，不会有人在意我写了什么，就把它留在这图一乐吧。

Ah, well, since everyone's drunk, and the revelry never ends, nobody will care about my scribblings. I'll just leave this here for entertainment.

哦海瑟音在上，我都写了什么乱七八糟的，我得再去开一瓶，就到这吧。

Oh Hysilens above, what utter gibberish have I recorded? I need another bottle immediately. I'm done here.
