A True Tale of Alternate History presented by Sid Meier's Civilization VI.

《席德·梅爾的文明帝國VI》鉅獻，架空歷史的真實傳說

Founded in 2800 BC on the continent of Zealandia, by emigrants from Washington D.C.,

西元前2800年，華盛頓特區移民在西蘭蒂亞大陸上創建了巴爾蒂摩

Baltimore's location was picked for its bountiful Crab Resources, which give extra gold when they are worked.

選中此地的緣由是其豐富的螃蟹資源，採集後便能獲得額外金幣

Baltimore became a major source of Gold for the burgeoning American civilization.

自此巴爾蒂摩成了主要的金幣來源，幫助美國文明繁榮興盛

America was aided by the Kandy Men of the North, who provided faith for civs that have Envoys in their city.

北方康提人也幫了美國一把，他們為城內派駐使者的文明提供信仰值

The Pantheon “God of the Sea” became worshipped by the Americans, which only increased their crabby productivity.

美國人民信奉萬神殿「海洋之神」，因而提升了他們的螃蟹產量

In 2680 BC, America met their neighbor on the continent Spain, and the two civilizations became fast friends.

西元前2680年，美國在大陸上遇到鄰國西班牙， 兩個文明很快就共結友好關係

In 2020 BC the citizens of Baltimore began construction of Stonehenge, but their production was weak.

西元前2020年，巴爾蒂摩的居民開始建造巨石陣， 然而他們的生產力很差

Using a trade route to Washington and a Builder to log forests around the city, Baltimore was able to complete the project in 1600 BC.

利用連接華盛頓的貿易路線，並派出建造者砍伐城市周圍森林， 巴爾蒂摩終於在西元前1600年建成巨石陣

It was a miracle!

這真是個奇蹟！

Building Stonehenge attracted the attention of the Great Prophet Laozi.

建造巨石陣的舉動引起了大預言家老子的注意

He was so impressed by the ancient Baltimorean's crab cakes that he founded the Church of the One True Crab God, intent on Feeding the World with the meat of the savior.

遠古巴爾蒂摩人製作的蟹肉餅讓老子大為驚豔，他因此創立了「唯一真神蟹神教」， 企盼能用救世主的肉填飽世人的肚子

He also decreed that as the Crab allowed for riches from the sea, so also would followers give back gold to Him as tithing.

他也頒布教義，宣稱蟹神為眾人帶來海洋的財富， 信徒們理當貢獻金幣作為十一奉獻

And so it came to be that the One True Crab God became the first religion in alternate history.

因此「唯一真神蟹神教」成了這個架空歷史裡的首個宗教

Next time, we'll reveal how America purged the heretical Spanish and met its seafaring neighbors to the East.

下回我們將揭曉美國人如何剷除西班牙異教徒， 以及遭遇東方海上鄰國的經過
