估计很多人都看过《铁血战士》(Predator) 系列的电影
相信其中很多是最近两年看《AVP Alien Vs. Predator》才知道这种外形怪物
我第一次看这片子是小时候老爹借来的VHS版本的录像带 可谓记忆深刻

这次我再出来给看Predator2 中结局一头雾水的人们解惑
在Predator2 结尾 我们的伟大LAPD放躺下了Predator
结果一下子出现了N个Predator同伴 正在我们的黑人同志绝望的时候Predator并未给同伴趁机雪耻 而是赠了他一直刻有Raphael Adolini 1715燧石火枪
估计看了这结局大部分观众肯定直接懵了 而且电影就没有任何解释
我呢就解释一下
其实动动脑子找资料即可
Q: What is the name on the antique gun in the Predator 2 movie? Does it hold any real significance to the movie or the Yautja themselves?
A: The flintlock pistol from Predator 2 was inscribed Raphael Adolini 1715, thus proving that either Yautja are very long-lifed creatures, or just that their clans have been hunting on Earth for hundreds of years. According to a Dark Horse story Predator: 1718, which features in Decade of Dark Horse #1 (of 4) and the collected edition Decade: A Dark Horse Short Story Collection TPB, the pistol was a trophy taken by a Yautja who hunted a band of pirates in 1718.
As the story goes: dropping anchor at an island in Guinea in 1718, the Captain of the small band of pirates suddenly faced mutiny over a stolen case of gold which was destined for a church. The Captain wanted the gold returned, much to the anger of his crew who turned against him. In the following battle, a watching Predator joined the fray and fought back-to-back with the Captain - attacking the rebellious crew with an extendable sword.
In the climactic scene, with the crew dead and the Predator and Captain about to battle mano a mano, the Captain is suddenly shot in the back by the last member of his crew, who was in hiding. Denied his trophy, the Predator angrily blasts the final crewman to hell. With his dying breath, the Captain whispers 'take it...' to the Predator, throwing him his beautifully engraved pistol. With the Captain dead, the Predator takes a moment to think about this battle - and with some curious respect, leaves the dead Captain his extendable sword... 'Take it.'
The final scene sees what looks like a shooting star moving across the evening sky, far above a now silent island - and a pirate ship in the bay, never to leave anchor again.
译文
问:在电影《铁血战士2》中那把古老的手枪的名字是什么?对电影或者Yautja（铁血战士）有什么特殊寓意?
答:那把燧石手枪上面记着"Raphael Adolini 1715",证明 Yautja 是一种寿命很长的生物,并且已经在地球上狩猎了数百年，根据“XXX（铁血战士系列的其中一部小说和后续的短篇集的记载）”这把手枪是一个Yautja在1718年和一群海盗搏杀时获得的战利品。（笔者脑子突然想到了加勒比海盗2中的某角色扮相）
根据故事内容，1714年，一群海盗在几内亚的一个小岛抛锚后，那帮海盗的船长遇到了一起叛乱。起因是由于他们劫掠了一箱正运往教堂途中的黄金，船长想归还黄金，但许多船员反对他。在接下来的战斗中，一个观望中的掠食者 加入的战斗中，他与船长并肩作战，用一把可以伸展的矛攻击叛乱者。
事件达到了高潮，就在战斗的最后时刻，最后一个躲藏起来的船员突然射中了船长的背部。拒绝了最后一个船员的贿赂，掠食者愤怒的将他送进了地狱。随着微弱的呼吸，船长轻声对掠食者说“拿着它”，并丢下了他的带刻字的手枪。船长死后，掠食者思考了一会儿这次战斗，带着少许奇怪的敬意，掠食者将它可伸展的矛留给了船长------“拿着它”
最后的场景是：一颗流星高高的划过宁静的小岛的夜空，一艘海盗船躺在港湾中，再也不会起锚。
Yautja 就是 Predator 铁血战士
In the climactic scene, with the crew dead and the Predator and Captain about to battle mano a mano, the Captain is suddenly shot in the back by the last member of his crew, who was in hiding. Denied his trophy, the Predator angrily blasts the final crewman to hell.
mano a mano= hand to hand， one on one 是西班牙语 http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a5_164.html
前面这句是说：进入高潮，船长和铁血战士杀光了（叛乱的）船员之后，正要开始两人之间最后的决斗。船长突然被最后一个藏起来的船员从背后射中（然后挂了）。
Denied his trophy 我觉得这里是比喻。意思是：两个人决斗的话，能最后“taking your life”是战斗的 Trophy。我在和你决斗，突然冒出来个人把你杀了，这对于我这是 Denied my trophy，我肯定会很不爽，也肯定会把你 blast to hell。
这个地方不太好直译（杀人爽度骤降的。。？），意译我也想不出来，就这样吧。
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
决斗之后献上或者交换武器，一般两个意思，
一是认输，二是表示尊敬 you are a worthy component!
这个动作电影里面很多：罗素.库克在怒海争锋最后，那个法国船长战败之后吩咐船员要把自己的佩剑交给罗素.库克。
Aliens Vs Predator最后，一个Predator把死去的Predator用过的“伸展的剑”（其实我觉得像标枪）交给那个黑人女科学家。

有关Predator的电影 小说 游戏 很多 都成了一个系列 甚至有把终结者也揉进去的同人作品 最新的电影是《异形大战铁血战士2:原始猎杀》(Aliens Vs Predator 2 Primal Hunt)
哪些奇怪的资料就是其它相关的小说。
