传记

在隐秘的艾欧尼亚武装力量均衡教派中，慎背负着领袖的职责和暮光之眼的称号。他力求超脱自身的情感、偏执以及自我，行走于灵魂领域和物质世界之间无人通晓的隐秘道路。为了贯彻精神与物质之间的均衡，慎用一把钢刀和一把魂刃对抗任何威胁到均衡的人。

Among the secretive, Ionian warriors known as the Kinkou, Shen serves as their leader, the Eye of Twilight. He longs to remain free from the confusion of emotion, prejudice, and ego, and walks the unseen path of dispassionate judgment between the spirit realm and the physical world. Tasked with enforcing the equilibrium between them, Shen wields blades of steel and arcane energy against any who would threaten it.

他既是精神领域中的神秘人，也是凡人世界里的异类，但慎不属于二者任何一方。虽然他的出身是纳沃利北部的名门之后，但真正注定他与均衡教派不解之缘的，是他父亲作为暮光之眼的身份。

An enigma to the spirit realm, as well as the mortal world, Shen belongs to neither. Although born to one of the most revered families of northern Navori, it was his father’s role as the Eye of Twilight that set his destiny in the Kinkou Order.

作为教派宗师苦说的儿子，他从小受到均衡教派文化的熏陶，均衡的核心教旨对他来说就像艾欧尼亚的日落一样熟悉而优美。他懂得修枝的不可或缺，逐日的坚定不移，还有最重要的，观星的亘古智慧。他整个童年都是在冥想与研习中渡过的，所有老师都对他赞不绝口。

As the son of Great Master Kusho, he was immersed in the order’s culture, and its core tenets were as familiar to him as the Ionian sunset. He knew the necessity of Pruning the Tree, the determination of Coursing the Sun, but above all, he learned the wisdom of Watching the Stars. He meditated and studied throughout his childhood, and was considered exemplary by all his teachers.

他最亲密的朋友，也是唯一一个能在切磋中与他不相上下的学徒，是作为同龄人的劫。他们情同手足，经常互相吐露心中私密的希望和梦想。慎凡世都可以从劫那里寻求崭新的视角，两名少年被认为是均衡教派最有前途的学徒。

His closest friend, the only one who could match him in practice bouts, was the young acolyte Zed. They grew up as brothers, often confiding in each other their personal hopes and dreams. Shen could turn to Zed for a fresh perspective on any matter, and the two became known as the Kinkou’s most promising students.

随着他们的技艺日益精进，苦说大师开始带上他们出门执行较为危险的任务，其中就包括追猎芝云省的祸害，“金魔”。他们的搜寻持续了数年，虽然慎见证了无数惨不忍睹的谋杀现场，但他始终都心无旁骛。当他们最后终于抓到“金魔”的时候，却发现他只是个巡回剧团中的舞台助手。苦说大师没有将其就地正法，而是将他关进了监狱。

As their skills developed, Kusho brought them on dangerous missions, including a hunt for the Golden Demon plaguing the province of Zhyun. Their search took years, but Shen stayed committed even after uncovering countless gruesome murders. When they at last captured the “demon”, it was revealed to be Khada Jhin, a mere stagehand from a traveling theater. Instead of execution, Great Master Kusho ordered the criminal imprisoned.

虽然慎和劫都认为这个凶手应当被处以更严厉的刑罚，但慎接受了父亲的决定。他努力效仿暮光之眼的冷漠，因此也没能够安慰劫的苦楚和憎恨。

Though he and Zed both thought the killer deserved heavier punishment, Shen accepted his father’s decision. He strived to emulate the Eye of Twilight’s dispassion, and so found himself failing to console a bitter and resentful Zed.

即使当诺克萨斯入侵者威胁到初生之土的和平，慎也压抑住心中的不安，支持了苦说大师的不作为。但当背弃了均衡的劫加入战斗的时候，慎选择留在庙墙之中。

Even when Noxian invaders threatened the peace of the First Lands, Shen reluctantly supported Kusho’s inaction. But when Zed abandoned the Kinkou to join the fight, Shen stayed within the temple walls.

许多省份都迅速被敌人占领。但慎依然专注于维护艾欧尼亚精神领域的和谐。那一天，远离家乡的慎感到均衡教派内部剧烈震荡失衡，全速赶回的他只看到了一场血腥哗变的幸存者。他们告诉慎，劫已经自立流派，还召集了一众学徒，将均衡教派的庙堂占为己有。

Many of the provinces were soon occupied by the enemy. Despite this, Shen focused on maintaining Ionia’s spiritual harmony. So it was, when he was far from home, he felt a jolting imbalance within the Kinkou Order—rushing back, he came upon the survivors of a bloody coup. From them, he learned Zed had raised acolytes of his own, and seized the temple.

最糟的是，慎的父亲被曾经那个与他情同手足的人弑杀了。

Worst of all, Shen’s father had been slain by the man he once saw as kin.

他抑制住自己的剧痛，带领均衡的残部前往山中避难。慎拿起了父亲的魂刃，也继承了暮光之眼的称号。他要扮演的角色并不是寻求复仇，而是重建教派。他遵循着核心教旨，开始了纳新和训练，希望能够重振教派的力量。

Repressing his anguish, he led the remnants of the Kinkou to safety in the mountains. Shen took up his father’s spirit blade, as well as the title of Eye of Twilight. His role was not to seek vengeance, but to rebuild the order. Following the core tenets, he began to recruit and train others, hoping to restore its strength.

一位特殊的学徒展现出了无边的潜力。慎亲自传授给那个女孩——阿卡丽·约曼·特曦潜行术和遁形术。她的母亲梅目曾以暗影之拳之名与苦说并肩作战，如今看来女儿也将遵循母亲的道路成长。然而，阿卡丽无数次想要反击他们的人类敌人，每每遇到这种情况，慎都不得不敦促她保持克制。

One acolyte in particular showed boundless potential. Shen taught the girl, Akali Jhomen Tethi, to master the arts of stealth and subterfuge. Her mother, Mayym, had stood alongside Kusho as the Fist of Shadow, and it seemed as though her daughter could follow the same path. Even so, Shen found himself forced to urge restraint whenever Akali would seek to strike back at their mortal foes.

当诺克萨斯最终撤退，许多艾欧尼亚人都庆祝反抗的胜利。而其他人，例如慎，则承担着战争的创伤——他恪尽职守，但同时也暗自纠结于自己对劫的憎恨之情，并怀疑自己担任领袖的能力。连年的战乱让初生之土付出了沉重的代价，慎也不确定，重建均衡教派是否真的能够让这片土地也重归平衡。

When Noxus finally withdrew, many Ionians celebrated the victorious resistance. Others, like Shen, endured the consequences of war—he persisted in his duty, while in private he wrestled with his hatred for Zed, and doubt in his own ability to lead. The years of conflict had taken a heavy toll on the First Lands, and Shen was uncertain whether the rebuilt Kinkou would ever be able to redress the balance.

他的担心应验了，就在阿卡丽接任暗影之拳的同时，他感受到她正在渐行渐远，不久后，她就公开否决他的教诲，然后离开了教派。

Indeed, even as Akali became the new Fist of Shadow, he felt her beginning to drift away. In time, she openly denounced his teachings, and left the order.

慎进行了观星冥想，他理解阿卡丽需要找到自己的路……均衡教派也是一样。

Shen meditated, watching the stars, and understood that Akali would need to find her own way… and so would the Kinkou.

有的时候，在精神领域进行隐秘斗争的间隙，慎还是会思考自己信念的价值。他从未让自己的情绪妨碍自己保护传统的职责，但问题依然没有答案：一个行走于两个世界的人，究竟还剩下多长时间，就不得不面对一个世界里的行为给另一个世界带来的毁灭？

Sometimes, between unseen struggles in the spirit realm, Shen still contemplates the value of his beliefs. He has never let his emotions stop him from preserving tradition, but the question remains: how long can one man walk two worlds, before the acts of one destroy the other?
