A lance once kept in the collection of a noble who ruled over Mondstadt. A product of premium materials and masterful artisanship.
lance/læns/n.長矛；執矛戰士；柳葉刀
曾支配蒙德的舊日貴族所收藏的刺槍，做工用料極其講究。
For that reason, it remains sharp as it was on the day it was first forged, even many generations after the nobles' time ended.
也因此，在他們的時代過去無數世代後，仍然尖銳如新造。
But back in the era of the nobility, this weapon never saw the light of day, and bathed only in the pale moonlight.
nobility/noʊˈbɪləti/n.貴族
但在貴族的時代，這柄武器從未見過天日，只沐浴過月光。
The nobles believed that those of high blood should use swords in battle.
貴族認為，出身尊貴的人們應當使用長劍戰鬥。
To them, the sound of blades clashing was the chorus the lofty souls.
chorus/ˈkɔːrəs/n.副歌，疊句
劍鋒撞擊時發出的聲音，就是高尚靈魂的諧唱。
The spear and the bow, on the other hand, were the weapons of plebian gladiators and commoners.
plebeian/pləˈbiːən/adj.平民的；普通的；粗俗的（原文估計拼寫錯誤）
而槍與弩一樣，是卑下的角鬥者、平民的武器。
Commoners with pitchforks and sharpened wooden poles, after all, could yet be a match for sword-wielding scions of nobility.
pitchfork/ˈpɪtʃfɔːrk/n.乾草叉；長柄草耙；音叉
scion/ˈsaɪən/n.[農學] 接穗；子孫
緊握草叉、尖木棍的平民，面對執劍的貴胄子弟也有勝算，
This was, undoubtedly, a hard pill for the rulers of Old Mondstadt to swallow.
這無疑是蒙德舊日的統治者難以接受、極力抗拒的事實吧。
Legend has it that there was also a youth of noble stock,
傳說中，也曾經有流著貴族血脈的青年，
Who sought out a smith to make this weapon,emblazonedwith their house'screst,
emblazon/ɪmˈbleɪzn/vt.用紋章裝飾
crest/krest/n.（家族、城鎮、機構等作為標記的）飾章，徽章
找尋匠人定製了這柄有著家族華美紋樣，
And yet which, like this youth, could never earn the favor of his family...
卻與青年本人一樣，如果不讓鮮血潑灑，
No, not without the spilling of blood.
永遠也不可能得到家族承認的尖銳兵器。
If that youth wanted change to come, they needed power.
若想要帶來變革，就必須掌握一切力量。
Even if it meant using a weapon seen as ignoble.
ignoble/ɪɡˈnoʊbl/adj.不光彩的；卑鄙的；卑賤的
即使是被認定不符合貴族氣度的兵器也一樣，
Even if it meant that their spear-wielding shadow could never see any light but that of the deep night's moon.
即使執槍的孤影只能在深夜月下舞動也一樣。
蒙德沒有耍槍的，只能放小姨子的照片了
