Wuxiaworld网站主要翻译中国武侠、玄幻、仙侠等网络小说,目前该网站已经成为英语世界流量领先的网络文学网站,网站日活跃用户30万,日浏览量超过350万次。《择天记》小说也早就在该网站上架了。网站中, 小说被译为Way of Choices。译者在总纲里是这样表述的:“To pick is to choose. This is a story about choices.”《择天记》中“选择”的笔墨着实不少,如故事中秋山君(小说人物)步步魔化,无不体现着他内心光明与黑暗的交锋。风从虎,云从龙,一切因缘际会看似是命运的安排,实则全看自己如何选择。
At the beginning of time, a mystical meteor came crashing down from outer space and scattered all over the world. A piece of it landed in the Eastern Continent. There were mysterious totems carved upon the meteor, and people gathered around it wanting to discover its usage. They discovered the Way, and established The Tradition.
Several thousand years later, the fourteen years old orphan Chen Chang Shang left his master to cure his illness and change his fate. He brought a piece of marriage vow with him to the capital, thus began the journey of a rising hero.
That youngster wore a really old Taoist robe that had lost its color due to overwashing. He had a soft and immature face, upright eyebrows, and bright eyes, showing an inexpressible temperament that seemed as if he could see the truth of many things.
一条恐怖的黑色巨龙在夜空里缓缓出现。它俯瞰着陈长生,双眼如幽冥的火,冷漠而残忍。
A terrifying black dragon slowly appeared in the air. It was looking down at Chen Chang Sheng. Its two eyes were like deathfire, cold and violent.
因为福祸相倚,所谓的一线生机,往往便是死地。风生,水起。夜风生而未尽之处,水势敛而未起之地。
Because charm and harm always come together. The so called “living exit” may actually be one’s final destination. As the wind blows, the water will rise. When the wind finished blowing but was yet to stop, where the water was low but was yet to rise.
This combo was an execution combo in the sword techniques of Mountain Li. It took the death and isolation from the snow mountains and single peaks. Hidden behind the fancy sword technique was the deadly, murderous way. The Iron Rule seemed to be covered in snow and frost. Pressure was slowing coming onto the field. Just like the arrival of winter, it was slow, yet unstoppable.
The whip raised up like wind, and fell down like rain. It was the most powerful move of the Wind and Rain Sword of Mountain Zhong! Pa! The Falling Rain Whip filled with Qi landed on the ground like a sword! Suddenly, the entire ground started to tremble! A huge fissure appeared on the ground!
Qi Jian’s expression was serious. He held his sword and cried out loud. His thin body left shadows in the darkness because of its extreme speed. The dark Iron Rule in his hand struck through the night wind silently. It was like a demon with a rock as its snack.
