A noble order of protectors unified by their belief and observance of the Force, the Jedi hearken back to a more civilized, classical time in galactic history. Their order is ancient, spanning over a thousand generations. As the Galactic Republic throve and grew over the centuries, the Jedi came to serve it as guardians of peace and justice.
绝地是一个崇高的团体，由信仰和尊崇原力的保护者组成，其诞生可以追溯到银河系历史上一个更文明、更古典的时代。绝地们的武士团非常古老，已延续了超过一千代人。在银河共和国繁荣发展的数个世纪里，绝地一直为共和国服务，担任和平与正义的卫士。

Headquartered on Coruscant, the Jedi trained, studied, and planned from the impressive Jedi Temple, a towering edifice rising high above the surrounding structures on the city-planet. They are governed by a High Council of 12 Jedi -- most of them Jedi Masters -- who contemplated the very nature of the Force.
以科洛桑为基地，绝地在壮观的绝地圣殿里训练、学习和制订计划。在这颗城市行星上，绝地圣殿是一座高耸的雄伟建筑，俯瞰着周围的楼群。绝地的管理机构是最高委员会。绝地最高委员会由12位绝地——他们大多是绝地大师——组成，他们始终在思考原力的本质。

To become a Jedi requires the deepest commitment and most serious mind. It is not a venture to be undertaken lightly. As such, Jedi instruction is rigidly structured and codified to enforce discipline and hinder transgression. Only 20 Jedi have ever voluntarily renounced their commissions. It is with great regret that the Jedi order recognizes the so-called "Lost Twenty." A Jedi who fails in his training can be a very serious threat. The dark side of the Force beckons to the impatient, and students in the past have been lured to its call with devastating consequences.
成为一名绝地要求有最深的信念和最严肃的思维。这绝非轻而易举。因此，绝地课程被严格安排、编篡成典，以强调纪律，禁止违规。只有20名绝地曾主动背弃他们的使命。绝地武士团非常遗憾地称之为“失落的二十人”。一名训练失败的绝地会成为非常严重的威胁。原力黑暗面会召唤缺乏耐心的人。过去曾有学生受其召唤的诱惑，造成了毁灭性的后果。

Jedi candidates are detected, identified and taken into the order as infants. One method of detection is through blood sampling -- those with great Force potential often have high midi-chlorian counts in their bloodstream. A prospective Jedi begins training in infancy. All connection to previous family life is lost. In this early stage of training, a single master instructs groups, or clans, of Jedi hopefuls.
绝地候选人在婴儿时就会被发现、识别和带入武士团。发现的方法之一就是检测血样——那些原力潜力巨大的孩子往往在血液中含有很高的纤原体量。一名潜在的绝地从婴儿时就开始训练。他们与先前家庭生活的一切联系都会断绝。在这个早期训练阶段，单个大师指导由绝地幼徒组成的小队或小组。

As the Jedi mature, the apprentice is paired with a master to continue the next phase of the training. According to the Jedi Code, a Jedi Master may only have one Padawan at a time. Near the end of the Padawan's training, she must undergo trials before ascending to the rank of Knight.
这些绝地成熟些后，一名学徒会与一名师父结伴，继续下一阶段的训练。按照绝地信条，一名绝地师父一次只能带一名学徒。学徒训练接近尾声时，他必须通过一些考验，才能升到武士等级。

The next level of rank in the Jedi order is the Jedi Master, reserved for those who have shown exceptional devotion and skill in the Force. It is from the ranks of the Jedi Masters that the High Council is chosen, which is the main interface between the Jedi and the government of the Republic.
在绝地武士团内，下一个等级是绝地大师，授予那些格外忠诚且原力技艺杰出的人。最高委员会的成员正是从绝地大师等级中选出。最高委员会是绝地与共和国政府间的主要沟通桥梁。

The Jedi dress in simple robes and carry specialized field gear for their missions. Their signature weapon, the lightsaber, is both elegant and deadly when in the hands of a trained master.
绝地身着简单的长袍，执行任务时携带专门的野外装备。他们的标志性武器——光剑——在一位训练有素的大师手中时，既优雅又致命。

The sworn enemies of the Jedi are the Sith -- a cult-like order bent on domination through subservience to the Force's dark side. Founded by former Jedi, the Sith abandoned the precepts of knowledge and defense, and instead seek abandon and strength through the Force's hateful energies. Centuries ago, the Jedi destroyed the Sith order. A dangerous complacency set it, wherein the Jedi believed the Sith extinct. Little did they know the order would arise anew, to destroy their ranks.
绝地的死敌是西斯——这个邪教般的宗教组织屈服于原力黑暗面，希望以此统治一切。西斯由前绝地组建，放弃了知识与防御的准则，转而通过原力的仇恨能量寻求放纵与力量。数个世纪前，绝地摧毁了西斯武士团。绝地相信西斯已经滅絕，由此产生了危险的自满情绪。他们完全不知道西斯会重新崛起，再将他们摧毁。

At first, the signs were few. The sudden appearance of a Sith attacker during the Battle of Naboo was startling to the Council, but that threat was dispatched. Still, according to Sith lore, the dark villains always traveled in pairs -- a master, and apprentice. For a decade, there was no physical sign of the remaining Dark Lord, but evidence of his power began to appear.
起初，只出现了一点点征兆。纳布战役期间，一名西斯袭击者的突然出现震惊了委员会，但这个威胁很快被解决。然而，按照西斯传统，这些黑暗恶棍总是两人一起行动——一个师父、一个徒弟。此后十年一直没有剩下那名黑暗尊主的具体迹象，但证明其实力的蛛丝马迹开始显现。



The Jedi ability to use the Force inexplicably began to diminish. This, coupled with increasing violence in the galaxy sparked by a Separatist movement overburdened the valiant protectors. Their ranks were spread thin trying to maintain the peace, and many Jedi fell during the crisis. When it came to war, and the first shots of the Clone Wars were fired on Geonosis, only a scant 200 Jedi were readily available for the conflict. Most of this taskforce was killed in the battle, but reinforcements, in the form of the Republic's new military, secured a victory against the Separatists.
绝地运用原力的能力开始不可思议地减弱。再加上分离主义运动在银河系点燃的暴力事件愈演愈烈，英勇的保护者们觉得不堪重负。为了尽力维护和平，他们的队伍力不从心。许多绝地在危机中倒下了。当克隆人战争的第一枪在吉奥诺西斯打响时，仅有区区200名绝地能迅速介入冲突。这支特遣队的大多数人在这场战斗中牺牲了，但由共和国新军组成的增援部队击退了分离主义者。

The Clone Wars were a trying time for the Jedi. They transformed from an order of peacekeepers to military commanders, serving as battlefield generals for the Republic's new clone army. With their perception so focused on the war and so clouded by the pall of the dark side, the Jedi failed to see the truth: that the Sith were the masterminds behind the conflict.
克隆人战争对绝地而言是一个艰难的时期。他们从一个维护和平的组织转变为军官，为共和国新组建的克隆人军队担任战地将军。由于专注于战争，被黑暗面所蒙蔽，绝地没能发现事实真相：西斯是这场战争的罪魁祸首。

In truth, the Sith Master was hidden in the very heart of the Republic. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was actually Darth Sidious. With his position of absolute authority over the galaxy, Palpatine enacted Order 66 -- a command transmitted to the fiercely loyal clone troopers that identified the Jedi as traitors to the Republic. Across the galaxy, clone troopers opened fire against their Jedi generals, killing many of them.
事实上，那位西斯师父就藏在共和国的核心。最高议长帕尔帕廷其实是达斯·西迪厄斯。随着他掌握银河系的绝对权力，帕尔帕廷发出了“66号指令”——这条命令发给极度忠诚的克隆人部队，指明绝地是共和国的叛徒。克隆人部队在全银河系向他们的绝地将军开火，杀死了其中不少人。

The Jedi were branded as enemies of the state. Palpatine's new Sith apprentice, Darth Vader, razed the Jedi Temple in a nighttime attack carried out by loyal clones. As the Empire came to power, the Jedi were all but extinct. A few survivors, Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Jedi Master Yoda, were able to train the first new Jedi in a generation. As a sign of the desperate times, Luke Skywalker was taken into the Jedi fold well past the traditional age requirements -- he was already an adult when he first picked up the lightsaber. Nonetheless, his raw talent in the Force -- inherited from his father -- was such that his age didn't matter.
绝地被谴责为国家公敌。帕尔帕廷的新西斯徒弟——达斯·维德——率领忠诚的克隆人对绝地圣殿发动了一场夜间袭击，将那里摧毁。随着帝国的崛起，绝地几乎滅絕。少数幸存者——欧比-旺·克诺比和绝地大师尤达——在一代人后训练了第一位新绝地。由于绝望时代情况特殊，卢克·天行者被训练为绝地时早过了传统的年龄要求——他第一次拿起光剑时已经是成年人了。不过，其原力天赋——遗传自他的父亲——如此之高，使他的年龄无关紧要。

Luke Skywalker scored numerous major victories against the Empire,and was able to lure Darth Vader from the grip of the dark side. Vader, once again Anakin Skywalker, defeated Emperor Palpatine, bringing an end to the Sith reign of terror that had seized the galaxy.
卢克·天行者在与帝国作战时取得了多次大捷。他还把达斯·维德拉出了黑暗面的魔掌。维德再次变为阿纳金·天行者。他打败帕尔帕廷皇帝，终结了西斯对银河系的恐怖统治。

衍生宇宙



The origins of the Jedi order are forever lost to time, but much of their early history has been recorded in specialized information modules known as Jedi Holocrons. These lore repositories can only be activated by those talented in the Force, and exploring its deepest confines requires the skill of a trained Jedi.
绝地武士团的起源因年代久远而永远被人淡忘，但他们的大部分早期历史都被一种叫绝地全息记录仪的特殊信息载体记录了下来。只有拥有原力天赋的人才能激活这些藏经库。受过训练的绝地只有利用其技能才能探索其中最深的境界。

From the few Holocrons that remain some scholars theorize that the Jedi order began on the ancient world of Ossus. Throughout the millennia, the Jedi Code has evolved and changed. For instance, while it now dictates that a Jedi Master may only have one Padawan at a time, in the ancient past, it was not always so. Revered masters, like Arca Jeth of Arkania, had several students, including the brothers Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma and the Twi'lek Tott Doneeta. It is likely that events such as the Great Sith War, in which many Jedi apprentices were lured to the dark side by the promises of Sith power and rose against their masters, were a factor in the changing the existing Jedi Code.
通过现存为数不多的全息记录仪，一些学者推断绝地武士团始于古老的奥苏斯星球。数千年来，绝地信条不断发展和改进。例如，虽然现在规定一名绝地师父一次只能带一名学徒，但在古代却绝非如此。德高望重的大师，如阿卡尼亚的阿卡·杰思，就有好几个学生，包括乌利克和凯·凯尔-德罗马兄弟和提列克人托特·多尼塔。很有可能某些事件成为改变现有绝地信条的一个因素。例如在西斯大战期间，许多绝地学徒被西斯权力的许诺诱惑到黑暗面，背叛他们的师父。

While the Code contains many layers of interpretation and information, at its core it reads as follows: There is no emotion; there is peace. There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no death; there is the Force.
虽然信条包含了多层解读与信息，但其核心如下：无需激忄青；平静心智。勿随愚昧；顺从真知。勿纵情欲，沉静明意。无有灭亡，唯行原力。

In the final era of the Republic, the Jedi Knights operated out of the Judicial Department, under the office of Supreme Chancellor. During the Separatist crisis, the Jedi had to weather not only the flashpoints of violence scattered across the galaxy, but increasing public backlash against their apparent shortcomings. While the Jedi undoubtedly saved many lives through their duties, many disenchanted citizens saw only their failures.
共和国末期，绝地武士隶属于最高议长办公室下的司法部。分离主义危机期间，绝地不仅要为散布于整个银河系的暴力热点疲于奔命，还要忍受公众看见他们某些缺点后所表现出的持续不满。尽管绝地无疑通过他们的任务救了许多人，但许多失望的公民只看到他们的失败。

幕后



The Jedi order has changed much in the various iterations of the original Star Wars story. At first, they were the Jedi Bendu warriors who fought against the Knights of Sith. At one point, they were the Dai Nogas who battled the Legions of Lettow.
随着《星球大战》最初剧情的不断变更，绝地武士团经历了大量的变化。一开始，他们是对抗西斯武士的绝地本杜战士。他们一度还是与莱托军团交战的代诺加。

The second draft of Star Wars reveals some of the history of the order. In the ancient times before the Empire, a holy man known only as "the Skywalker" was the first to become aware of the mystical energy field called the Force. He learned of its two halves - the Ashla, or good, and the Bogan, the paraforce of evil. The Skywalker passed on this knowledge to his kin - twelve children who would pass on the Force through their children. They eventually became known as the Jedi Bendu of the Ashla.
《星球大战》第二版草稿透露了一些武士团的历史。在帝国成立前的古代，一个只知道叫“天行者”的圣人最早知道“原力”这种神秘的能量场。他知道原力分两部分——阿什拉，即善，和博根，即恶。天行者把这一知识传给他的亲人——十二个孩子，他们又通过他们的孩子传授原力。他们最终成为阿什拉的绝地本杜。

When the Republic began to decay and the Senate was rife with corruption, the Jedi Bendu took it upon themselves to purge the injustices sweeping the galaxy. Instead, they were branded traitors and executed. Thus the Empire was born.
随着共和国开始衰败，腐败在议会横行，绝地本杜亲自清剿席卷银河系的不公。然而，他们被谴责为叛徒，被处决。于是帝国诞生了。

Led by a young Padawan named Darklighter, who had succumbed to the temptations of the dark side, the evil Sith pirates became the Emperor's bodyguards and hunted down the remaining Jedi.
一名叫夜明者的年轻学徒屈服于黑暗面的诱惑。在他的带领下，邪恶的西斯海盗成为皇帝的禁卫军，追杀剩余的绝地。
