legacy本身没有 传人 的意思。像南大说的,书名不达意的情况并不少见。如果接下来有一部小说叫Heir of the Force呢?Heir才是传人的意思。朱学恒把Heir of the Empire译作“帝国传承”,就是有争议的译法。
Never again will a citizen of this galaxy watch a moonrise in quite the same way. He will stare at that moon, and remember that the Empire is firmly in control. ----Grand Moff Tarkin
