血族有一套属于他们自己的，由特有词和短语组成的语言。吸血鬼们特别会说反话，他们所表达的意思时常有别于字面含义。某些词汇在遭诅者中形成了新的内涵，而另一些词汇则是吸血鬼及其社会所独有的。血族们我行我素，不愿接受新的沟通方式或流行语；往往可以通过吸血鬼自己选用的个别词汇来大致判断吸血鬼的年龄。

The Kindred have their own dialect of specialized words and phrases. Vampires have a tremendous capacity for double-talk; what they say often means something other than or in addition to its literal interpretation. Certain words have evolved new connotations among the Damned, while others are unique to vampires and their society. The Kindred, set in their ways as they are, are loath to adopt new manners of speech or slang, and one can often determine a rough estimation of a vampire’s age by listening to the individual words she chooses.

吸榨 (diablerie)

我翻译成「弑亲」。diablerie强调的是血族中的同类相食行为，类比人类的食人。是最严重、最被厌恶的罪行。所以我选择「弑亲」来表现这个方面。

自足者 (Autarkis)

我翻译成「逍遥派」。仅供参考。

逆者 (antitribu)

或者「逆族」。X者听起来有点拗口……

感谢河伯的建议，上一个月因为重感冒和其他事务没能及时回复非常抱歉。
首先是关于Diablerie的翻译，虽然很感谢建议，但我不打算再做改变，这一词汇拥有的中文翻译算上“弑亲”已经有四个了，个人认为继续修改和增加只会让玩家更加费解...（玩家群中常用的“吸榨”，按照血族社会意义中相对符合的“弑亲”，完全按照单词释义来的“魔饮”，还有《十字军之王3》mod中翻译者选择的“啖魂”）
其次是「逆族」，我认为确实比起原先的“逆者”要更为合适且便于阅读，已进行修改。

虽然之前用的都是“吸榨”，但现在我的话可能会考虑“魔噬”。
