速更与角色展示
Quick Update and Character Reveal!
哇，各位！咱进展不错呢！我们的项目就在众筹网站，上面那个又大又显眼的位置。
我们得到了多么令人惊异的回应啊！但我们并不想就此结束。
Wow All! We're going so well. We're right up there, big and visible on Kickstarter. And what an amazing response we've been getting, but we don't want to stop now!

我们还有个大目标仍未完成，那就是在大游戏网站上大放异彩。我们正在与Kotatus,IGNs,Destructiods等协商。
There's still one big goal we haven't achieved yet and that's to get featured on the big games sites! We're talking about the Kotakus, IGNs, Destructoids etc.

如果我们能获得哪怕一点曝光度，我们将有能力向更多潜在的粉丝传播空洞骑士的讯息。我们这一整周都会尽我们最大努力去发推发邮发新闻稿，好让所有的网站都知道这个游戏。
If we can achieve even a little exposure on there, we'll be able to spread word of Hollow Knight to so many more potential fans! We'll be focusing all our efforts this whole week tweeting, emailing and sending press releases to let all of the sites know about the game.

当然，大伙儿也可以搭把手！如果你上推特，就艾特他们。或者发邮，或者寄封信。好吧，也许还是别送信啦。但要旨就是：他们很容易接触。让他们知道为什么你觉得空洞骑士那么酷炫，相信他们会罩着它的！
And you guys can help as well! If you're on twitter, tweet at them, or email! Or send a letter!.. Okay, maybe don't send a letter, but the point is: They're easily contactable. Let them know why you think Hollow Knight is cool and that they should be covering it!
为了帮助我们的小骑士，我们有了一张新的宣传图片。
To aid our little knight, we have a new promo image:

请与你们的朋友分享它，打印它或倒转它，把它固定在应援牌上举高高，然后招摇过市。让我们向世界传播空洞骑士！
Please share it with your friends, print it or tumble it. Stick it on a sandwichboard and walk around town! Lets spread Hollow Knight to the world!


在我们走之前的最后一件事：首个角色亮相！
And one last thing before we go: Our first character reveal!

对德特茅斯这个建立在已成废墟的地下王国圣巢之上的小镇来说，岁月是艰难的。镇民在慢慢消失，凶猛的生物在地表下徘徊。土壤里还有一种奇怪的毒物，会抑制任何植物生长。但是在迷雾里，一位高傲的身影出现了，他已准备好击溃这些荼毒生灵而形体不明的邪恶。他的剑的高高的，他保护弱小的决心，炽烈逼人，这个虫中豪杰自信地大步流星，走向台前，并且……
Times are hard for Dirtmouth, the small town built above the ruined underground kingdom of Hallownest. The townsfolk are slowly disappearing; savage creatures prowl beneath the surface and a strange poison in the earth refuses to let any vegetation grow. But lo! From the mists a proud figure emerges, ready to defeat the formless evil that plagues the populace. With his sword held aloft and a fiery determination to protect the helpless, this giant of bugkind strides confidently into the light and...
哦，是左特啊。大家散了吧，白高兴一场。
Oh, it's Zote. False alarm everybody.

左特，自诩为“民众的骑士”，最近在德特茅斯出现，并开始向镇民索要免费膳宿，还要获得关注。他声称在各方面都可与空洞骑士以及他的上位者匹敌。左特很可能是为了战胜潜伏于深处的邪恶生物，并找到毒源而来到德特茅斯的。Zote, self-proclaimed "Knight of the People", recently turned up in Dirtmouth and started demanding free lodgings, food and attention from the townsfolk. Claiming to be a rival of the Hollow Knight and his superior in every way, Zote has supposedly come to Dirtmouth to defeat the evil creatures lurking in the depths and find the source of the poison.

当左特没有在镇里那个他常常光顾的脚地休息时，他就会用他那独特的自制钉探索圣巢的深处。他视耐心与谨慎高于一切，所以他并不总是会有和空洞骑士一样的进步。且由于他口中那“糟糕，骇人听闻的不公平的坏运气”，他也从未拥有同样的成功。
When he isn't having one of his frequent rest stops in town, Zote will be exploring the depths of Hallownest with his unique, home-made nail in hand. He favours caution and patience above all else, so he doesn't always make the same kind of progress as the Hollow Knight. Nor does he have the same successes due to what he calls his "atrocious, appallingly unfair bad luck".
如果你在你的旅途中看见左特，他会非常乐意停下来闲谈，指出你在冒险经历中做错的一切事情，好让你以他为榜样学习。
If you see him during your travels, Zote will be more than happy to stop and chat, pointing out everything you've been doing wrong during your adventure so you can learn from his example.
