传记

在密林深处长大的奈德丽，能以高超的手段追踪猎物，还能随时变身成一只凶猛的帕卡丛林猫。她不完全是人类，也不完全是野兽。她异常凶猛，会用巧妙布置的陷阱和神出鬼没的标枪来保护自己的领地不受侵犯。她会先让猎物失去行动能力，再化成猛兽，将其扑杀。 极少数幸存下来的人会讲述关于她的故事——一个野人，拥有掠食者般的捕猎直觉，以及更为致命的利爪……

Raised in the deepest wilderness, Nidalee is a master tracker who can shapeshift into a ferocious pakaa jungle cat at will. Neither wholly woman nor beast, she viciously defends her territory from any and all trespassers, with carefully placed traps and deft spear throws. She cripples her quarry before pouncing on them in feline form—the lucky few who survive tell tales of a wild woman with razor-sharp instincts, and even sharper claws...

横跨严酷的大塞沙漠，越过稀树大草原和层峦的山丘，在恕瑞玛与以绪塔尔交界处坐落着一片广袤密林。这片神秘气息笼罩着的地方树木葱郁，生机勃勃，哺育着许多神奇的野生动物。这里的景色美得令人难以置信，却也潜伏着难以想象的致命危险。

Far, far from the harsh deserts of the Great Sai, over savanna plains and mountain steppes, lie the great jungles on the border of Ixtal and Shurima. Swathed in mystery, they are home to wild, fantastical beasts, and dense forests blooming with life. But while there is overwhelming beauty to be found there, danger and death lurk nearby in equal measure.

没人知道为什么，尚且是一只幼兽的奈德丽被独自留在了密林深处。但她回荡在林间的哭喊声引来了林中最凶猛的猫科动物——帕卡丛林猫。

No one knows how Nidalee—in the form of a cub—came to be alone in the heart of the jungle, but it was her cries echoing through the trees that captured the attention of the jungle's fiercest cats: the pakaa.

一头正带着幼崽们在林中游荡的帕卡丛林母猫，来到了奈德丽身边。可能是因为某种熟悉的气味，也可能只是出于母性，这只大猫没有丝毫疑虑地接纳了奈德丽，半引半拽地把她带回了自己的巢穴。

A mother, roaming with her cubs, approached Nidalee. Perhaps it was her scent, or a mother’s intuition, that led the great cat to accept this strange kit without hesitation, half-leading, half-dragging her back to their den.

从那以后，奈德丽便跟着帕卡丛林猫一家长大，她就这样被视为已出——皆是森林的一员。她和幼猫们一起在玩耍中成长，学会了用利爪和尖牙狩猎、在密林中追寻猎物的踪迹。奈德丽逐渐成长为族群中的一员，成为了一名捕猎能手。

Nidalee was raised in the company of the pakaa, who treated her as one of their own—a creature of the jungle. She grew up playing alongside the other cubs, learning to hunt with tooth and claw and to stalk the jungles for her prey. She grew into her role as a member of the pack and as a capable huntress.

虽然生活始终安稳，但有的时候奈德丽会失去对自己身体的控制。她毛茸茸的爪子会毫无征兆地变成裸露在空气中的手脚，而尖牙会变成粗钝的磨牙。她偶尔会发起高烧，恍惚间跟随两个陌生的身影跌跌撞撞地爬出巢穴——他们在她耳边低语，声音含混不清，却又温柔款款。他们给奈德丽带来了慰藉和温暖的感觉，即便帕卡一家早就教训过她要提防外来者。

Even so, at times Nidalee began to lose control of her own body. Without warning, her paws would change to strange hairless hands and feet, her sharp fangs to blunted teeth. Occasionally she would stumble from the den, delirious with fever, her body caught in a state of half-transformation as she followed the hazy silhouettes of two strange figures—they whispered after her, their voices jumbled but sweet. They brought Nidalee a sense of comfort and warmth, even though her feline family had taught her to be wary of outsiders.

提防不是没有缘由的。

And with good cause.

那是一场夏日的暴雨，她第一次遇到了肉齿兽。每个季节，这群瓦斯塔亚猎手都会进入森林游猎，寻找能让自己荣耀加身的战利品，以展示他们的力量。奈德丽的养母想要将他们赶走，但却被刀剑和长矛所伤，倒地不起。

It was at the height of the summer rains when she first encountered the Kiilash. These vastayan hunters ranged into the forests every season in search of prestigious kills and trophies to show their prowess. Nidalee's mother tried to chase them away, but fell, wounded by their blades and spears.

就在肉齿兽即将了结这只年迈的丛林猫时，奈德丽从灌木丛中冲了出来，发出悲愤交加的咆哮。她的尖牙利爪令敌人皮开肉绽，于是敌人拿出了更强的武器来对付她。

But before the Kiilash could finish the aging wildcat, Nidalee lunged from the undergrowth, howling with grief and rage. As she tore into them with razor sharp claws and fangs, they rounded on her with even stronger weapons.

那一刻，有什么东西发生了变化。

But something had changed.

她感受到体内有另外一支血脉，一个长久被遗忘的灵魂，由内而外地苏醒了。她的身体从一只帕卡丛林猫，变得越来越接近于人类。她徒手抓起猎人刺过来的武器，以猫的迅猛和人的灵巧，将他们的武器通通还击了回去。肉齿兽见状发出低吼和嘶鸣，奈德丽惊讶地发现，她居然能听懂他们的语言。

She felt the spirit of another heritage, long forgotten, rise up within her. Transforming from pakaa to something resembling a human, she grabbed a hunter's lunging weapons with cat-like reflexes and nimble fingers and turned it upon her enemies. The Kiilash growled and hissed at this sight, and to her surprise Nidalee found she understood some of their speech.

他们咒骂她，喊出了他们瓦斯塔亚霞瑞祖先的名字，接着落荒而逃，空手而归。

They cursed her, invoking the name of their Vastayashai'rei ancestors as they retreated from the fight, empty-handed.

奈德丽把长矛扔到一边，轻轻拥抱奄奄一息的母亲。她的兄弟姐妹都围了过来，虽然它们对她新的身体仍抱有忌惮，但却被她熟悉的味道所安抚。但随着母亲的离世，他们接受了这位换形者作为新的领袖——从那一天起，她就发誓要保护这个收养她的家，抵抗任何企图侵犯的人。

Hurling the spear aside, Nidalee held her dying mother close. Her siblings approached, wary of her new form but comforted by her familiar scent. With the passing of their mother they came to accept this shapechanger as their new leader—from that day forth, she vowed to defend her adopted home against any who would seek to plunder it.

日积月累，她已经学会更好地控制自己的力量，可以在两种形态之间自如地变换。她也学会更加熟练地使用自己新形态，利用周围可以利用的资源，制作帕卡丛林猫从未见过的陷阱和武器，用蜜糖果实调成疗伤的膏药，用种子和花朵保护并照亮自己的领地。不过在她心底，她一直好奇，自己会不会是唯一一只能够改变形态的帕卡丛林猫。

Over time, she learned to better control her powers, eventually shifting between both forms with ease. She also became more adept with her new form, learning to take advantage of her surroundings while building traps and weapons unknown to the pakaa, crafting healing salves from honeyfruit, and utilizing seeds and flowers to protect and illuminate her territory. And in the back of her mind, she wondered whether she was the only one of the pakaa who could change their shape.

或许是出于对同类的渴望，她找到了变色龙似的游荡者妮蔻，二人一起度过了一段亲密无二的时光。奈德丽愉快地教导这个充满好奇的新同伴，她们满心欢喜地一起探索了雨林中的许多奇观。不过最后妮蔻依然决定离开这里，去恕瑞玛海岸的彼端寻找属于自己的命运。

Perhaps it was a yearning to find others of her kind that led her to the chameleon-like wanderer Neeko, and the two became inseparable for a time. Nidalee delighted in mentoring her inquisitive new companion, and they reveled in exploring the jungle's numerous wonders together, before Neeko eventually departed to follow her own destiny beyond Shurima's shores.

即使到了现在，这片茂密的森林依然是已知世界中最后一片未被驯服的土地，也是所有人认知中的谜团，有的甚至连奈德丽也无法揭开。但在极少数安静的时刻，这位女猎手发现自己始终还在思考自己的身世——以及她与肉齿兽的那次遭遇——她不知道有朝一日能否得知背后的真相。

Even now, the dense forests remain the last truly untamed wilderness in the known world, and something of an enigma even to Nidalee. Still, in rare, quiet moments, the huntress finds herself dwelling on her own origins—and her encounter with the Kiilash—and whether she will learn the truth behind any of it…
