标题[闲聊] 《黑塔》的一些设定
时间Thu Oct 25 00:39:11 2012
感觉《黑塔》好像讨论的人不多,大家对其内容也褒贬不一。
虽说我是狂热的史蒂芬金迷,我也觉得《黑塔》有些地方难怪会被骂XD
但是我还是很喜欢《黑塔》,特别是其设定,
就我看到一些网站资料贴一些设定与大家分享。
一、
Gunslinger's Guns(枪客的枪):
http://www.thedarktower.com/palaver/showthread.php?t=1487
(这个连结已经失效了)
Gunslinger's Guns, also called Peacemakers, Widowmakers or The Big Guns, were
once the guns of Arthur Eld and were handed down from father to son for over
a thousand years.
Roland inherited the Guns of Eld from his father shortly after his time in
Mejis. A plate was added to each gun so they were weighted to his hands, as
Steven Deschain was not as tall or as heavy as Roland. Known for their loud,
crashing KA-BLAM when fired, they are worn low on his hips for easy grasping.
After losing two fingers of his right hand, one of Roland’s revolvers was
shared and kept by Eddie and Susannah Dean After leaving Roland’s world and
re-entering New York , Susannah sadly threw one gun in a trash bin in Central
Park. Roland, upon reaching the Dark Tower, laid his remaining gun at its
entrance, in order to enter the doors.
The Guns of Eld were made from the blue-grey steel of The Guns of Eld were
made from the blue-grey steel of Excalibur and their grips are made from
scented sandalwood. At the end of each muzzle is an engraving of the mark of
The White, which was the dinh mark of Arthur Eld. It is not truly known from
where the blue-grey steel or the sandalwood originated. Some believe Arthur
pulled Excalibur from inside of a pyramid in a far land of Mid-World, others
think he traveled with the Manni to another world and obtained his weapon
there. Still others believe Excalibur came from the Dark Tower itself.
The six-shooters of Eld were forged after a crippling battle Arthur and his
knights had with a giant snake. Arthur’s first guns were destroyed so he
reluctantly gave over his sword to the smithies of Mid-World so they could
make him new ones from its steel. The smithies also created replicas of these
new guns (but not made from the blue-grey steel of Excalibur) so that Arthur’
s knights could carry these awesome weapons as well. Those that carried
these replicas, the knights and their descendants, are called Gunslingers.
Inconsistencies in The Dark Tower Series
Stephen King described Roland's gun as a Winchester .45, however, no such gun
exists (in our world). Winchester was famous for the .45 caliber Rifle, but
also manufactures .45 caliber shells. Most likely the closest resemblance in
our world is a Colt .45 Peacemaker. King also describes scenes where the gun
is a single action revolver, as well as scenes where the gun is a double
action (also describing a fanning of the trigger - not the correct fanning of
the hammer).

小弟的不负责任翻译(有错请指正):
枪客的枪,又称为和平使者、寡妇制造者或「大枪」。亚瑟‧艾尔德曾经使用过这对枪,
父子相传了数千年。
自梅吉斯归来未久,罗兰从他父亲手中继承了这对艾尔德之枪。由於罗兰比史蒂芬‧德斯
钦还要重且高,这对枪加装了一些金属材质以便於使用。这对枪以射击时震耳欲聋的巨大
爆炸声闻名。罗兰将这对枪放在臀部低处以便於快速掏枪。
失去右手两根手指後,罗兰将他的一把左轮枪交给艾迪‧狄恩及苏珊娜‧狄恩使用。苏珊
娜离开罗兰的世界以後,伤心地将其中一把左轮枪丢到纽约中央公园的垃圾桶。为了进入
黑塔,罗兰将他剩下的那把枪放在黑塔的入口前。
艾尔德之枪的枪身是以亚瑟王那用蓝灰铁所制成的的神剑熔铸而成,其枪柄材质则是芬芳
的檀木。在枪口镗线尽头雕刻了白界的徽记,白界之徽记是亚瑟‧艾尔德的丁主之徽记。
我们难以确认蓝灰铁或者圣剑源自何方。有些人相信亚瑟从中世界的金字塔内拔出圣剑,
有些人认为他跟随曼尼旅行到其他世界而得到这把武器;甚至还有些人相信圣剑根本来自
於黑塔。
亚瑟与他的骑士团曾经与巨蛇有一场惨烈的战争,亚瑟原先的那对枪毁於这场战役,所以
他只好很不情愿地将圣剑交给中世界的铁匠,铁匠将圣剑重新熔铸成这对六连射左轮手枪
。铁匠复制了枪(不过不是以蓝灰铁为原料),亚瑟的骑士们也获得了这些优秀的武器。
这些持枪骑士及其後裔就被称为「枪客」。
在《黑塔》系列中前後矛盾的地方
史蒂芬‧金将罗兰的枪设定为温彻斯特点四五,然而,我们的世界没有这种枪。温彻斯特
以其点四五口径的步枪闻名,也制造点四五口径子弹。我们世界中最接近描述的是柯尔特
点四五Peacemaker。金描述那对枪是单动左轮,但有些场景又描述为双动左轮(又错误地
描述为扳机发动轮机,而不是正确的撞针发动轮机)

二、
关於亚瑟‧艾尔德(Arthur Eld):
亚瑟‧艾尔德(Arthur Eld),是《黑塔》世界中统一古代世界的王者,史蒂芬‧德斯钦
\罗兰‧德斯钦父子是其家族的直系血脉。德斯钦这个家族姓氏源自亚瑟‧艾尔德的第二
任妻子,是保护过亚瑟王的德斯钦枪客之女。
亚瑟王的第一任妻子,也就是王后,因为不孕症而求助於荒地(the Wasteland)女巫的
帮助,受到诅咒而产下半人半蜘蛛的怪物。亚瑟本人也曾经受过上古邪神Crimson Queen
强暴,该名雌性的蜘蛛形象邪神,产下亚瑟本人的子嗣,也就是血腥之王
(Crimson King)。
因此,亚瑟的子嗣除了德斯钦系统外都是怪物,其中一支血腥之王
更成为家族敌人,也是德斯钦家族的同父异母兄弟。
三、
在《黑塔》故事之前:
在《黑塔》世界中,遥远的过去有一个科技极度发达的世界性文明,其面貌就是我们的文
明(二十一世纪继续发展下去的样子),他们被称为「旧日长老」、「老家伙」、「the
Old Ones」。这个科学极度发达的文明在好久以前就毁灭了,据信是毁於核子战争。
此後数千年是蒙昧不堪的黑暗混乱期,各种异界怪物、稀奇古怪的魔法横行大地。
亚瑟‧艾尔德是终结这片混乱的远古英雄,建立起以基列地为首都、持枪骑士「枪客」
为统治者的封建贵族政权,中世界文明复兴。
到了史蒂芬‧德斯钦\罗兰‧德斯钦父子的时代,中世界出现民主浪潮,
人们受到「大善人」法尔森的鼓动,发起血腥革命。法尔森虽号称大善人,
但他的统治与征服是极端残酷血腥的,从内到外残忍镇压所有的反对者,
而其背後的指使人跟本是血腥之王的手下「蓝道尔‧佛格森」。
基列地虽奋勇抵抗,终究抵挡不住革命浪潮。
基列地的陷落,代表了整个中世界文明殒落。
此後中世界再度陷入亚瑟王时代以前的黑暗混乱。
罗兰为了拯救以中世界为核心的多重世界\整个宇宙,
踏上寻找世界中心的「黑塔」旅程,构成了史蒂芬金的七册《黑塔》故事。
以上第一篇是以前打在电脑里的,第二、三篇都是刚刚凭印象打出来的,请多多指教
