翻译已完成，此次翻译没有严格的逐字对应，大部分时间是意译，所以大家看着意思差不多就行，有问题请回复。{:13_432:}
另，鉴于很多人回帖问我这个版本什么时候出，干脆写到这里来：EA公布的发布日期是2012年9月4日。至于大家什么时候能玩要看各位大神了。 以及，太平洋时间2012年8月3日早10点有官方的发布预告活动，届时估计会放出大量新闻什么的，大家有兴趣可以关注下。
嘛……不好意思地说一句，翻到后面吐槽之魂开始熊熊燃烧所以……总之大家先看吧……
===============================于是开始===============================
这橙光是仙子翅膀？是的，你没看错。
Orange Fairy wings? Yes please.
如果问我最希望设计哪一种超自然生物，毫无疑问的，你们都猜得到的，必然是仙子——这个模拟人生3的全新元素。我的意思是，没错，狼人和巫师都非常有意思，可是仙子是首次被引入模拟人生3 的世界，因此带给了我们许多新的机会。这样创造独特而有趣的新生物的机会是开发过程中最让我激动的一部分。
When it came down to selecting which supernatural I wanted to work on, there really was no contest. As you all probably know, fairies are brand new to The Sims. I mean sure, werewolves and witches are definitely awesome, but being able to introduce fairies into the game opens a whole new world of opportunity. The chance to create something truly unique and fun for the players is what I was most excited about.
当你装上模拟人生3异能新世纪后，在创建市民中你可以选择创建仙子，你将可选择翅膀的形状和颜色。想要尖耳朵和缎子般的金色皮肤么？你也可以将它实现！如果你不想从头重建人物，而是想使用你喜欢的人物来继续玩。不要急，我们已经预料到这点，你将有办法在游戏中将小人转化为仙子。
Right after you install The Sims 3 Supernatural, you jump in and Create A Sim to your liking. From here, you can select a fairy and begin customizing it by selecting your wing type and color. Want some pointy ears on your fairy along with a nice, golden skin tone? You can make that happen! Maybe you don’t want to start from scratch. Instead, maybe you want to use one of your favorite Sims that you’ve been playing for some time now. Don’t fret, we planned for that and implemented new ways that you can transform your Sim into a fairy through gameplay.
从之前的介绍中，我们得知了仙子是很喜欢恶作剧的，那是他们天性的一部分。为了设计仙子的整人方式，我们查阅了各种传奇、古籍，再加上一点点我们自己的想象，我们创造出了一整套整人方式包含了分散注意力的手势以及仙子的魔法和陷阱来让被整的市民疲于奔命。结果就是仙子拥有了众多的整人手段可以尝试实践。但他们必须小心；有的市民会表面上装作不知，实际上完全清楚发生了什么。如果是这种情况，那整人的结局可能是仙子被自己的陷阱整了。举个例子来说明下仙子的恶作剧和陷阱——睡衣化——把仙子尘洒在市民身上来测试他们的性格并将他们的衣服变成睡衣。不过别急，这个效果不是永久性的……就是说，如果你的市民能证明他们有一颗温柔的心。
From the get-go, we knew fairies had to be mischievous. I mean, c’mon, it’s in their nature! We plotted and schemed on how to go about tricking Sims unbeknownst. Through legend, lore, and a bit of creativity from our design team, we found a great combination of distracting gestures combined with fairy magic and fairy traps to keep Sims on their toes. The outcome means that fairies have an entire repository of tricks and traps that they can go through. They must be careful though; some Sims may appear to be oblivious, but instead are privy to exactly what is going to happen. If this is the case, that fairy may just end up getting a taste of their own medicine. Some great examples of fairy tricks and traps are Skivvies, where a fairy can trick another Sim into changing into their own sleepwear, or Inner Beauty, where a fairy uses a little fairy dust to transform a Sim’s appearance and test their true character. Don’t worry though, the results aren’t permanent… that is, if your Sim proves that they have a kind heart.
看完仙子古怪的一面后，我们来看看他们所带来的好处。你可以把仙子认为是圣母一般的存在，他们可以让市民对特定事物感觉良好并长于此事。如果你不想浪费很多时间学习新技能，那你可以考虑在家庭中加入一个仙子。仙子可以产生独有的光环，抚慰光环能大幅改善附近市民的心情，而创造光环可以让附近的市民长于音乐并快速学习。当你展开这些光环的时候，你会很快意识到仙子不是你小时候听过的童话里那种淘气的小精灵，他们比那好的多！
After we took care of the whimsical, we wanted to move onto the beneficial. Think of a fairy godmother type of role that is able to make other Sims feel better or excel at certain things. For those of you that like to start new families, but don’t like to grind skills all day long, you will definitely want to add a fairy into the mix. Fairies are able to generate unique auras that will affect the fairy and surrounding Sims in different ways such as boosting their moods with the Aura of Soothing or increasing their musical skill gains with the Aura of Creativity. With their auras on, you’ll quickly realize that these aren’t the little sprites you heard stories about when you were younger, they are better!
除了恶作剧、陷阱和光环以外，仙子还有很多独特的方法来与市民和世界互动。例如，仙子可以开玩笑性质地纠缠市民，或者可以跟狼人朋友玩贴标签。我们也添加了一些新的物品如仙子屋，在此仙子可以满足一些他们在日常生活以外的需求（译者在这里想歪了）。如果你的仙子想轻松一下或只是想放纵一下，你可以邀请你的朋友在仙子屋里举办晚会。
With tricks, traps and auras aside, fairies still have a plethora of unique ways to interact with Sims and the world around them. For example, a fairy can Playfully Pester another Sim or Play Tag with a werewolf they’ve befriended. We also created several new objects including a Fairy House where fairies can go to satisfy some of their more everyday needs. If your fairy needs to relax or just cut loose, you can always throw a Fairy House Party inside with some of your friends.
仙子越常使用他们的仙子能力，他们就能越熟练地使用这些恶作剧并学会新的整人方式。举个例子，当你修理东西或把钥匙掉到狭小的角落时，有没有曾希望过：“如果我的手和胳膊能小一点多好，那我就能弄好这该死的东西了！”很好，现在你的愿望实现了，当你的仙子恶作剧等级提升，你将可以解锁仙子修理——你可以缩小并钻到东西里面去修理它。所以不如我们来多放一点陷阱，多玩一点恶作剧，多施放一些光环帮助他人？这样你就能获得新的超酷能力来与世界互动了！是我的话一定这么做！
The more fairies harness their Powers of the Fae, the more they increase which in turn enhances their current abilities while also unlocking new ones. For example, have you ever been fixing something and dropped a key component into a super tight space that you just can’t seem to reach? You find yourself wishing, “If only my hand or arm were a little bit smaller, I could reach it!” Well wish no more, because as you level up, you’ll be able to unlock Fairy Repairs which allow you to shrink down and repair broken objects. Plant some fairy traps, play some fairy tricks, help out some nearby Sims with a fairy aura, and get rewarded with some cool new interactions? I’ll take it!
虽然仙子有多种的能力，但使用这些能力并不是无限制的。仙子有一个魔法值表，他们必须消耗魔法才可以使用能力。不过魔法值表不是只能消耗的，魔法值会随时间变化而缓慢回升。仙子可以等待魔法值积累再使用下一个能力，或者他们可以喝下一种特殊的炼金药剂来瞬间补充魔法值。仙子也可以通过变回他们的真正形态——小精灵来做一些特殊的事情从而快速回复魔力。
Although fairies increase in their power, it is not limitless and does come with a cost. Fairies have a magic meter that they must maintain in order to continuously use their abilities. Once depleted, it doesn’t stay gone forever. Their power will slowly regenerate over time or they can instantly replenish their magic through the use of an alchemy elixir. Fairies can also regenerate their power at a faster rate by transforming into their true form and performing many of their unique interactions.
现在我们已经讨论了许多关于仙子的八卦，让我们把眼睛移向图谱的另一边看看我们讨厌植物的寻欢作乐者、挑战生存能力极限的——僵尸。
Now that you have gotten the scoop on fairies, let’s go to the other side of the spectrum to talk about our fun loving, plant hating, life-challenged friends – the zombies!
僵尸——这是啥？为啥在此？以及，为啥他们想吃我的大脑？！！
Zombies – What are they, why are they here, and why do they want my Cerebrum?
像众所周知的一样，僵尸在不断地渴求着大脑。我听说这玩意在某些地区是菜单上的一道菜（译者：中国中枪？），但对于僵尸来说，这是他们唯一的食物。僵尸也喜欢孜孜不倦地摧毁目所能及的植物，我猜这可能跟他们对生命的憎恶有关。他们的动作有一点僵硬，但是不用害怕，虽然作为尸体他们大部分时间都是僵硬的，可到了关键时刻他们可以忘记自己的僵硬而以百米赛跑的速度闯进人类的院子。应该指出的是僵尸曾被发现像傻瓜一样地大量聚集，就像1982重来了一般（译者注：这好像是指一个1982年的电影）。虽然他们看起来不像擅长社交，他们其实也可以完成一些日常事务，不会受到他们死后衰弱的身体影响。
As many know, zombies have a constant craving for brains. I hear in some places it’s a delicacy, but as far as zombies are concerned, it’s the only thing on the menu. They also seem to have an undying fondness for shredding plants down to their very last fiber. I think this goes hand in hand with their enmity towards the living. They might appear to be a bit rigid, but have no fear; in most cases the rigor mortis is only temporary. At times, zombies have even been found to ignore their rigidity altogether and break into a full out sprint. It should also be noted that there have been sightings of zombies congregating in large groups and acting a fool as if it were 1982 all over again. Although they may not appear to be the most sociable at first glance, they can still perform most day to day tasks and hardly let their decay slow them down in their afterlife.
僵尸可以通过多种途径产生。如果你是一个狂热的炼金术师，你可以混合几种特别的试剂来把你自己或者其他市民转化成僵尸（译者：FateZero即视感）。如果你是一个狡猾的巫师，你也可以用强大的魔法来召唤一个这样的怪物。你只需要找一块墓碑并施展高等级的魔法然后瞧着吧，一个变异的恶毒的对人类充满威胁的怪物浮现在你的庄园（译者：一句话五个单词不确定我这是要撞死……）。接下来，第三种接近僵尸的方法的关键是耐心。当满月升起的时候，你最好钉牢你的门窗并加固你的花园栅栏。僵尸很喜欢沐浴满月的光辉，会在此时爬出地面来晒一下他们苍白的、不死的躯体。
Zombies can come about in many different ways. If you happen to be an aspiring alchemist, you can concoct a special brew to either transform yourself or a different Sim into one of these members of the undead. Perhaps you are a wily witch and would rather utilize your superior spell casting to summon one of these ghastly ghouls. You need only find a tombstone or an urn to perform a high level spell and BEHOLD… a mutated malevolent menace will emerge on your manor. Last but not least, the third way to encounter a zombie is patience. When the moon is full in the night’s sky, you may want to batten down the hatches and fortify your gardens. Zombies are quite fond of the basking in the moonlight and have been found to crawl up from the earth in an attempt to tan their pale, undead flesh.
通过一些方法你可以抵御这些危险的苦命者。首先，最令人惊叹的方法是，用植物大战僵尸里的豌豆射手来保卫你的房子。把一些这家伙放在你的院子里然后你就不需要担心你的房子或花园了。他们被证实是非常好的一线防御者！豌豆射手只在限量版里有，只能通过预购游戏获得。但是，第二种方法来解救你的市民是使用咒语或治愈药剂，这将会非常有效地把你市民的大脑饥渴症治愈成比较能让人接受的方式。第三种方法则是使用仙子尘，这是一种强力的物品所以必须省着点用。如果你不小心用了太多，谁知道会产生什么后果？如你所见，有很多方法都可以驱逐这种令人厌恶的僵尸状态，无论是从方法上、形状上、还是形态上。但仍然存在着一些“极端手段”可以被使用，至于是什么极端手段呢？发挥你的想象力吧！
There are several ways you can ditch these dreadful drudges. The first, and probably the most amazing way, is to defend your home with the Plants vs. Zombies’ Peashooter. Put a couple of these guys up and you won’t have to worry about your home or your garden. They prove as a great first line of defense! The Plants vs. Zombies Peashooter comes only in the Limited Edition version of the game, which is available through pre-order only. However, the second way is to save them from their curse is by using a Cure or Potent Cure Elixir. This will effectively cure them of their craving so they can be satiated by a more acceptable means. The third way is by using just a dash of Fairy Dust; it’s really potent stuff and should be used sparingly. If too much is used, who knows what the effects might be!? As you can see, there are many ways to banish these unwanted zombies in one way, shape, or form, but there are even a few more “extreme measures” that can be taken as well. We’ll let you use your imagination on those though.
就像你所看见的，我们还需要做很多事情才能完善仙子和僵尸这一类的生物。但我得说做和仙子有关的工作真是一种莫大的乐趣，我希望你们将会喜欢下一个扩展包的这些超自然生物。请关注官网以获得更多关于模拟人生3异能新世纪的消息，并请关注我们将于八月初举行的第二次现场体验，具体信息将于近期公布。
As you can see, there is much to do when dealing with fairies and zombies alike. It was a blast working on fairies and I hope you enjoy all of the new supernaturals that we are offering in this upcoming expansion pack. Stay tuned for more info on The Sims 3 Supernatural that will be coming down the pipe in the near future and be sure to tune in for our second Live Broadcast in early August Date will be announced soon!
