教令院Akademiya
大風紀官GeneralMahamatra (在梵語中的大法官Dharma-mahamatra)
杞人憂天worry about nothing
Many researchers at the Akademiya fear that the GeneralMahamatra will interfere with their research. However, it seems that they are worrying about nothing. Most of them do not produce results worthy of his visit.
—A reply given by Forest Watcher Tighnari when Collei asked a question about the General Mahamatra.
在教令院中,如果一位學者需要和大風紀官賽諾進行正式會面,那他一般不會得到什麼好消息。
好消息bode well
If an Akademiya researcher is required to have a formal meeting with the General Mahamatra, Cyno, it usually does not bode well.
通常來說,賽諾的親自到訪意味著這些學者們犯下了抄襲、賄賂、學術舞弊、虛假申報、挪用經費、惡意競爭、侵改論文撰稿人等重大學術罪責中的某項…這些學者唯一能做的,就是跟隨大風紀官前去接受審判。

挪用經費misappropriation of funds

接受審判face disciplinary action
In general, a personal visit from Cyno implies that these researchers are perpetrators of serious academic offences: plagiarism, bribery, academic fraud, false declarations, misappropriation of funds, malicious competition, appropriation of someone else's dissertations, and more... The only thing left for these researchers to do is to follow the General Mahamatra and face disciplinary action.
但這些學者並不會那麼輕易地接受這個事實。
But these researchers will not accept their sentence so easily.
他們中的大部分人會試圖用摩拉來動搖大風紀官的決心,這群「有錢人」在接受審判時會按律罪加一等;小部分人會選擇用武力進行一次不理智的頑抗…在為自己的不理智付出相應的代價後,他們在接受審判時也會按律罪加一等。
不理智的irrational
頑抗recalcitrance
Most of them try to bribe the General Mahamatra with Mora. These "wealthy people" will then be punished even more severely. Meanwhile, some choose to use force in an irrational act of recalcitrance... After paying the price for their defiance, they are subjected to a harsher sentence.
某些黔驢技窮者,甚至會裝瘋賣傻,以自己的記憶力和腦子兩者中的一個出了問題為由,試圖做出最後的掙扎。
黔驢技窮at their wits' end
裝瘋賣傻feign madness
Others, at their wits' end, even feign madness, claiming memory loss or pleading insanity in a desperate attempt to escape punishment.
但大風紀官賽諾對付他們時依舊很有耐心,用他自己話說——
However, General Mahamatra Cyno has unfailing patience when dealing with these people. In his own words:
「作為風紀官,幫助人『記』起自己犯下的錯誤,也是我的職責之一。」
"As a Matra, it is one of my duties to help people 'remember' the mistakes they have made."
看來不瞭解點科研,還玩不懂須彌的劇情了。
