在教令院裡，風紀官們的辦公室總是讓學者們談之色變。
In the Akademiya, the mere mention of the Matra's office can make any researcher's heart seize up.
除卻風紀官們的「累累惡行」外，更讓學者們不安的，則是當賽諾走進辦公室後，這間辦公室裡一定會傳出幾聲讓人毛骨悚然的乾澀笑聲…
毛骨悚然的 creepy
Apart from the renowned "evil deeds" of the Matra, what disturbs them even more is how creepy, dry laughter can be heard from the office whenever Cyno walks in...
學者們堅定地認為，這一定是賽諾確定了對某位學者的刑罰，風紀官們正在為此而得意。
得意smug satisfaction
Researchers firmly believe that this must be the Matra's way of expressing smug satisfaction at the sight of Cyno passing judgment on some hapless researcher.
但只有風紀官們知道，這些笑聲，都來自於賽諾那獨特的幽默感。
幽默感sense of humor
But only the Matra know that the laughter is a response to Cyno's unique sense of humor.
「我曾經辦過一樁案件，涉案學者因為多次論文審查不過，而承擔了巨大的學術壓力。在一次論文評審中，他暗地裡買通了論文審查委員，讓自己的論文得以通過。但因為這篇論文裡的數據錯得過於離譜，沒過多久就被人舉報學術造假。當我去逮捕那位涉事學者的時候。這位學者質問我，他究竟哪裡錯了…」
得以通過ram through迫使他人接受
"I once worked on a case where the researcher involved was under great pressure because his paper had been rejected multiple times at the review stage. He eventually rammed it through by successfully bribing the members of his review committee. However, the data in that paper was so wrong that it didn't even take long to be exposed as academic fraud. When I went to arrest this researcher, he asked me 'what have I done wrong?'..."
在停頓一會之後，賽諾接著說：
After a pause, Cyno continued,
「我回答他，你論文錯了。」
"I answered, 'Your paper.'"
看著沉默的風紀官們，賽諾似乎是擔心他們沒聽懂這個笑話，又認真地解釋道：
Seeing the Matra all sit there in silence, Cyno seemed to be worried that they did not get the joke, so he went on to explain it with a serious expression,
「這個故事的有趣之處在於，這個學者所說的『錯』是指他迫於學術壓力，不得不用賄賂審查委員的手段通過論文，而我說的『錯』是指他那篇論文本身有錯，這個笑話巧妙的點在於替換了指代詞…」
"You see, the interesting part of this story lies in how, when he asked me what he had done wrong, he expected me to say that his fault lay with his bribing of the committee due to academic pressure, yet I told him that his error was in not reaching the correct conclusions in his paper. The clever part about this joke is that I changed the subject that was being discussed..."
在他解釋完畢後，眾風紀官們面面相覷，不約而同地發出了幾聲乾澀的苦笑…
不約而同地in concert
After he finished explaining, the Matra all exchanged looks before letting out a few dry, strangled laughs in concert...
在一聲聲尷尬的笑聲中，原本蕭殺肅穆的風紀官辦公室，居然也逐漸有了一絲怪怪的人情味。
蕭殺肅穆somber and solemn
The awkward laughter lent a strange sense of human warmth then to the often somber and solemn Matra office.
但是，為了避免這種尷尬的場景再次出現，風紀官們逐漸有了共識，在賽諾講完他的笑話後，所有人都必須笑個一兩聲作為回應，不要讓他開始解釋這個笑話。
However, to prevent such an awkward situation from ever happening again, the Matra gradually came to a consensus that after Cyno finishes telling a joke, everyone in the room must force out a laugh or two in response so that he will not start explaining it.
但那些試圖模仿賽諾講笑話的風紀官，則會被其他人用沒收食堂飯票等雷霆手段予以堅決制裁。
模仿imitate
沒收食堂飯票confiscate canteen meal tickets
On the other hand, any Matra who attempts to imitate Cyno's style will be harshly punished by the others through extreme means such as confiscating their canteen meal tickets.
整個風紀官隊伍裡，有一個賽諾就足夠了。
After all, one Cyno is enough for the whole division.
