2017-11-08 22:43:41這次是跟避難所最相關的兩間公司：Vault-Tec和RobCo
在遊戲中，前者除了蓋避難所以外，跟玩家最相關的就是神奇的時間停止器VATS
後者則是一大堆需要點科技破解的電腦、嗶嗶小子、隱形小子和幾乎所有的機器人
貼完這兩間公司後，就會開始翻譯各個避難所了

《Vault-Tec Corporation Vault-Tec有限公司》
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault-Tec_Corporation
The Vault-Tec Corporation was a company contracted by the United States
government before the Great War to design and produce the vault system, a
vast network of complex bomb and research shelters.
Vault-Tec有限公司是一間公司，在大戰前和美國政府簽約製造避難所系統。
Background 背景
The following is based on Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel and has not been
confirmed by canon sources.
以下內容基於非正史的《Fallout：鋼鐵兄弟會》
Vault-Tec designed and constructed advanced technologies. It was a major
military contractor before the Great War, and as such, developed highly
experimental, advanced and secret technologies. In time, Vault-Tec became so
thoroughly integrated with top-secret military research done by the Pentagon
that it had practically become a department of the U.S. government. The
company still remained in private hands, but because of its strong connection
to the American government, the principal personnel of Vault-Tec - its
executives, top scientists, engineers, and so on - had to be aware of the
true purpose of the vaults and Project Safehouse.
Vault-Tec設計及發展尖端科技，他是戰前軍方的主要承包商，因此能研發高度實驗性、
先進及秘密科技。Vault-Tec跟五角大廈在高機密軍事科技上的合作非常之密切，以至於
他們幾乎算是美國政府的一個部門了。儘管該公司仍然有自己的私人業務，但他們和美國
政府的連結如此強烈，使的中心人員─行政人員、頂尖科學家、工程師等等─全部都知道
避難所和安全屋計畫的真正目標。
Regardless of the American government's directives, Vault-Tec's high-ranking
personnel had no intention of submitting to a lottery and living underground
with a bunch of human cattle in the intentionally defective vault facilities
that they had constructed. Vault-Tec instead created their own private
emergency shelter facility for their top employees and their families,
removed from the larger vault network, and kept secret from the U.S.
government. This facility is now known as the Secret Vault.
先不管美國政府的意向，Vault-Tec的高階人員可沒興趣去抽避難所名額，抽中了還要跟
一群死老百姓住在自己故意蓋的很爛的設施裡。Vault-Tec替自己的高階員工和家屬蓋了
私人的庇護設施，從避難所網路中分離並不讓美國政府所知，這設施就是秘密避難所。
Vault-Tec did not stop there. This secret, private installation was used to
research new, more advanced technologies that would benefit mankind in the
midst of post-nuclear environment. This initiative included some extensive
research with the "Forced Evolutionary Virus" (FEV), the results of which,
unlike the government-controlled research on the virus' uses at Vault 87, was
also kept secret from the government. It is known that the FEV stored in the
Secret Vault was highly modified in an attempt to achieve its original goals
and also avoid sterility among those subjects infected and mutated by it.
However, this modification proved unsuccessful.
Vault-Tec並不以此滿足，秘密避難所還被用來研究更新更進步的科技以造福核戰後人類
。這些包括對FEV的廣泛研究，其研究成果跟政府研究並用在87號避難所的病毒並不一樣
，而且也沒讓政府知道其存在。存放在秘密避難所的FEV被高度改造過以期在能達到原始
目的時還能避免受感染及變種的目標不孕，不過這些改造最後並不成功。
Other Vault-Tec projects that were intended for the corporation's own use
included the development of their own robotic systems, a special biological
weapons program (the results of which were probably the creation of a unique
race of radroaches and a variation of the deathclaw), advanced biomedical
research on the effects of rapid cell regeneration, and even an attempt to
create a model of power armor to be used by Vault-Tec personnel.
其他Vault-Tec自用的研究計畫，包括他們自己的機器人系統、一套特殊的生化武器程序
（該生化武器可能就是造成變種蟑螂和死亡爪出現的原因）、對於細胞快速再生的進階生
醫研究、甚至還想做出Vault-Tec版本的動力裝甲。

Project Safehouse and the Societal Preservation Program
安全屋計畫和社會保存方案
Vault-Tec's most notable product was the vault. Officially, the vaults were
part of “Project Safehouse”, designed to protect the American population
from nuclear holocaust. In actuality, they had a more sinister purpose, a
project known as the "Societal Preservation Program".
Vault-Tec最著名的產品是避難所，官方上來說避難所是「安全屋計畫」的一部分，設計
來在核子屠殺中保護美國人民。事實上，安全屋中有個更險惡的目的，一個名為「社會保
存方案」的計畫。
The vaults could not possibly have saved the citizens of the United States
from the ravages of a nuclear war or a viral pandemic. With a population of
almost 400 million by 2077, the U.S. would have needed over 400,000 Vaults to
protect every man, woman and child. Vault-Tec was commissioned by the
American government to build only 122 such vaults.
避難所根本不可能在核子戰爭或疫病大流行中保護美國人民。美國在2077年的人口有將近
四億，需要超過四十萬個避難所才能保護所有人，但Vault-Tec在美國政府的委託之下只
蓋了122個避難所。
The true reason for the construction of the vaults was to allow the
government to secretly study pre-selected segments of the American
population, observe how they would react to the stresses of isolation, and
how successfully they would re-colonize the devastated Earth and stars after
the vault opened.
建造避難所的真正理由是能讓政府對預先選出的一些人做研究，觀察他們在孤立的壓力下
的反應，以及避難所開啟後他們對地表重新殖民的成功程度。
In addition, most vaults were designed to conduct often immoral experiments
on live human test subjects. The purposes and experiments carried out in each
vault varied. They included: the use of the FEV on an unwitting test
population (Vault 87), the development of super soldiers (Vault 92), the
creation of an entire population of human clones (Vault 108), Vault 101 was
subject to a "never to be opened" policy: the inhabitants were never going to
be allowed to leave, the frequent use of psychoactive drugs (Vault 106), the
extended use of a virtual reality simulator on a population (Vault 112), to
observe the effects of long-term cryogenic suspended animation on
unsuspecting test subjects (Vault 111), and so on.
此外，許多避難所都有針對活體人類測試的不道德實驗進行特別設計，不同避難所有不同
的實驗目的，包括：對不知情測試者的FEV實驗（87號避難所）、超級士兵研究（92號避
難所）、複製人（108避難所）、「永不開放原則」（101避難所）、頻繁使用精神藥物的
影響（106避難所）、對居民長期使用虛擬實境模擬器（112避難所）、長期冬眠影響（
111避難所），諸如此類。
This project was the work of the Enclave, a secret shadow organization of
federal officials and corporate executives that used the Vault-Tec company to
set up this sinister experiment. The Enclave considered themselves prime
candidates for recolonizing the world after a nuclear holocaust and to this
end commissioned the construction of their own shelters, isolated from the
vault network. The results of the vault experiments were intended to help
prepare the Enclave for either re-colonizing Earth or colonizing another
planet if Earth turned out to be uninhabitable.
負責該計畫的政府組織是英克雷，這是美國政府下的影子組織，利用Vault-Tec建立這險
惡的實驗。英克雷認為自己是被選召來在核子浩劫後重新殖民整個世界，並蓋了一個獨立
於避難所網路之外的避難所。這系列避難所實驗的目的是要幫助英克雷重新殖民整個地球
，或在地球已無法居住的情況下殖民其他星球。
The experiments were monitored by Vault-Tec researchers in separate
facilities. Sometimes select vault inhabitants (frequently the overseer) were
aware of the nature of the experiment and also gathered data.
整個實驗都由Vault-Tec研究人員在數個不同設施監控，有時某些被選上的避難所居民（
通常是監督）也知道有實驗並幫忙收集資料。
The experiment may be considered a success in terms of the data collected:
data that was much more important to the Vault-Tec and Enclave scientists
than a few-hundred thousand lives. Perhaps they felt that the trade-off was
mutual, as most of the vault dwellers would have died anyway if not for the
vaults.
就收集到的資料來說，這些實驗也許能算是成功的─實驗數據對Vault-Tec和英克雷科學
家來說比幾百幾千人的性命重要多了。也許他們覺得這是個互惠的交易，畢竟大部分避難
所居民沒有避難所早就死了。
Although the vaults were supposedly designed with longevity in mind, many
vaults had insufficient resources and are in dire need of repair. It is
uncertain whether or not the Vault-Tec vaults were actually supposed to
malfunction as many did, or whether they were deliberately ill-constructed.
It seems that the company may have focused its resources primarily on the
experimental vaults, leaving the control vaults with inferior materials and
little chance of survival. This may be why there were recurring problems with
water chips. Or it may be that over time, certain pieces of technology simply
wore out and broke. In many cases, such as Vault 3, the community's fate is
decided by a single malfunction.
儘管避難所理論上應該要很長壽，但許多避難所不僅資源短少東西還常常壞掉。這有可能
是避難所裡的東西就是這麼爛，也有可能是Vault-Tec有意為之。這間公司似乎只把資源
投注在實驗組避難所，卻讓控制組避難所使用劣等資源並使他們存活機率大為降低，這也
許能解釋為何淨水晶片老是會壞，當然也有可能僅僅是真的因為用太久而壞掉而已。有許
多案例，像三號避難所的命運，僅僅因為一個東西的故障就被決定了。
The only known vaults to continuously function successfully are Vault 101,
Vault 112 and Vault 81. Their vault experiments were intended to continue
indefinitely.
唯三成功存活下來的實驗組避難所是101、112和81號避難所，這三個避難所的實驗期原本
被設定為無限期。
In the year 2077, Vault-Tec opened up an exhibit in Nuka-World. One of the
purposes of the attraction was to draw in more vault customers, but visitors
and staff were subjected to radiation, subliminal messages, toxins, and
brainwave disruption as part of Vault-Tec's grand scheme.
在2077年，Vault-Tec在Nuka-World設了一個展覽，目的之一是要吸引更多想買避難所的
人。但參觀者和工作人員都被Vault-Tec的陰謀所害，受到輻射、幻聽、中毒和腦波破壞
所害。

《RobCo Industries RobCo企業》
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/RobCo_Industries
RobCo Industries was one of the largest and most influential computer and
robotics corporations in the pre-War United States. The company’s name is
either an abbreviation of “Robot Company”, was named after its founder,
Robert House, the eventual master of New Vegas, or could potentially be a
combination of the two.
RobCo企業在戰前美國是最大且最有影響力的電腦及機器人公司之一。該公司名字有可能
來自”Robot Company”（機器人公司）的縮寫、來自其創始人及新維加斯真正主人．
Robert House、或者兩者皆有。
Background 背景
Founded on June 25, 2042 by industrialist and inventor Robert House, RobCo
quickly soared through the ranks of the world’s most profitable and powerful
corporations, rivaling the likes of Poseidon Energy within several years. By
2077, RobCo’s patented software and robotics designs had become a
cornerstone of American industry, as exemplified by the widespread use of
RobCo’s Unified Operating System in most American computer systems in the
years leading up to the Great War.
RobCo在2042年6月25號由實業家及投資家的Robert House所建立，並很快躋身於全球最賺
錢以及最強大的公司之一，並與波賽頓能源互相競爭了好些年。到2077年大戰爆發以前，
RobCo的專利軟體和機器人技術已經是美國產業的基石，像是遍佈美國電腦的RobCo統一作
業系統。
The company had numerous joint design and manufacturing ventures, including
developing the Pip-Boy for Vault-Tec and the Liberty Prime project with
General Atomics International and the U.S. Army. In 2075, RobCo purchased
REPCONN Aerospace, allowing the company to enter the aerospace industry.
該公司有大量的共同設計和製造的實驗性物品，包括替Vault-Tec開發嗶嗶小子、和通用
原子國際以及美國軍隊共同進行的攻擊自由鋼彈。2075年，RobCo買下了REPCONN航空，踏
入航空產業。
