亚瑟王时期的英国 很久很久以前
英国由 A long time ago, Britain was ruled 乌瑟 潘德拉贡国王统治着 by King Uther Pendragon. 乌瑟去世后
没有留下继承人 But when Uther died without an heir, 致使整个王国在战争中分崩离析 the land was torn apart by war. 人们为了抢夺王位大打出手 Many tried to claim the throne 战火连天
无休无止 and fought bitterly and endlessly. 民心涣散 People"s hearts grew hopeless and hollow. 家国倾覆
群龙无首 The country became lost and leaderless. 因此
巫师梅林 So the wizard Merlin 打造了一柄石中剑 conjured a magical sword in a stone called Excalibur 宣布只有乌瑟的真正继承人 and declared that only Uther"s true heir 才可将其拔出 could pull it free. 很多人尝试过 Many tried, 然而只有一个人做到了 but only one succeeded. 一个叫做亚瑟的男孩 A boy named Arthur, 乌瑟王流落民间的儿子 who had no idea he was Uther"s long-lost son. 亚瑟长大成了一位伟大的国王 Arthur grew into a great king. 化敌国为友邦 He turned his enemies into allies 设圆桌议政
人人平等 and ruled at a round table, so that all were equal. 他和他的骑士们
秉持着骑士精神 He and his knights lived by a code of chivalry, 内心纯洁又高尚 their hearts pure and noble. 而他们最大的敌人
But their greatest foe 就是亚瑟同父异母的姐姐
莫甘娜 was Arthur"s own half-sister, Morgana. 坚信自己才是合法的继位者 Convinced she was the rightful heir, 为了夺取石中剑
无所不用其极 and desperate to possess Excalibur, 最终投身于黑魔法 she turned to dark sorcery. 亚瑟经过一番鏖战 Arthur fought a fearsome battle against her, 把她封印在了地底 and bound her into the bowels of the earth. 印成之际
她立下复仇的毒誓 But not before she swore dark vengeance. 总有一天 When you are long gone, 你将身死魂消 when hearts are hollow 这片土地会再次群龙无首 and the land is lost and leaderless again, 那时我当归来 I will return. 吾剑亦将同归 And so will the sword. 亚历克斯
