“劇本殺”、“狼人殺”等游戲已經(jīng)成了很多年輕人聚會時必不可少的環(huán)節(jié),那它們的英文又該怎么說呢?
LARP(Live Action Role-Playing)
A live action role-playing game (LARP) is a form of role-playing game where the participants physically portray their characters.
真人實(shí)景角色扮演游戲(LARP)是角色扮演游戲中的一種,參與者置身于真實(shí)場景中來塑造他們的角色。
除此之外,我們所說的劇本殺也和外國人所說的謀殺之謎(Murder Mystery Game)非常類似,它流行于歐美派對中,參加派對的賓客扮演不同的角色(包括兇手)進(jìn)行的一場推理游戲。
這兩個翻譯一個側(cè)重于實(shí)景實(shí)時、一個側(cè)重于內(nèi)容是和“謀殺”有關(guān)的。
一些在玩劇本殺時可能會涉及到的英文詞匯:
script 劇本
DM (Dungeon Master)
DM指游戲的組織者,兼導(dǎo)演、裁判、公證人身份。后被引入各類游戲中,一般情況下DM就是主持人。
OB(Observer)
觀察者,指的是不參與游戲的吃瓜群眾。
NPC (Non-Player Character)
劇情中出現(xiàn)的非玩家扮演的角色
*劇本殺里的NPC指的是真人扮演的服務(wù)型角色,NPC這個概念最早來自于電子游戲當(dāng)中,全稱是non-player character,意思是不受真人玩家操縱的游戲角色,可以在游戲中推動劇情、提供服務(wù)等。
