Darth Maul was a weapon forged by the hateful energies of the dark side to ensure the victory of the Sith over the Jedi order. A creature of pure evil, Maul had no personality beyond his ultimate devotion to his master, Darth Sidious. His goal was singular -- to exact vengeance upon the Jedi for the decimation of the Sith ranks.
达斯·摩尔是可恶的黑暗面能量所锻造的武器，用来保证西斯对绝地武士团的胜利。作为一个纯邪恶的生命，除了对师父达斯·西迪厄斯的极度忠诚，摩尔没有任何个性。他目标单一——为西斯组织的毁灭向绝地报仇。

The Republic first came to know of Maul only as a mysterious attacker. While Qui-Gon Jinn was escorting the fugitive Queen Amidala from Tatooine to Coruscant, Darth Maul swept down from above, lunging at Qui-Gon from his rocketing Sith speeder. Maul's attack was relentless; he hammered down lightsaber strikes against the accomplished Jedi Master, forcing him back time and again. It was only the timely interception of Qui-Gon by the Queen's Royal Starship that spared him.
共和国初识摩尔，只当他是个神秘的袭击者。当奎-冈·金护卫逃亡的阿米达拉女王从塔图因前往科洛桑时，达斯·摩尔从上空疾飞而来，从飞驰的西斯飞行摩托上猛扑向奎-冈。摩尔的攻击冷酷无情；他用光剑向技艺高超的绝地大师光剑连续猛攻，迫使后者不断后退。只不过女王的王家星际飞船及时赶到才救走了他。

Qui-Gon was utterly surprised and unprepared for such an attack. The Sith, everyone knew, were extinct, disappeared from the galaxy for a millennium. Yet the evidence was there -- a dark attacker, trained in the Jedi arts, brandishing a lightsaber no less.
奎-冈金极为诧异，根本没有料到这样一次攻击。西斯，众所周知，早已滅絕，在银河系消失了上千年。但事实明摆着——一个黑暗攻击者，受过绝地武艺的训练，还挥舞着一把光剑。

Maul was dispatched by Darth Sidious to track down the Queen, a feat he accomplished through mysterious yet effective means. Traveling aboard his sleek Sith Infiltrator, Maul scouted the galaxy for the missing monarch, and reported his findings to his master. When Amidala returned to Naboo, Maul was there, waiting to face the Jedi once more.
摩尔奉达斯·西迪厄斯之命追踪女王，他通过神秘而有效的手段完成了这项壮举。摩尔驾驶其光亮的“西斯渗透者”飞船在银河系侦察失踪的女君主，并向其师父报告他的发现。当阿米达拉回到纳布时，摩尔就在那里，等待着再次挑战绝地。

As an undeniable example of his skill and devotion, Maul plunged headlong into battle against two Jedi warriors. Using his double-bladed lightsaber, Maul held off both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn in the heart of the Theed Royal Palace. When the Jedi became separated, Maul killed Qui-Gon with a well-placed saber strike. Kenobi, enraged, attacked Maul. This barrage was deflected by Maul who used Obi-Wan's touching of the dark side as a conduit for a Force attack; using the Force, Maul pushed Obi-Wan into a deep mining pit. Kenobi held onto an outcropping for dear life. Calming himself by calling upon the light side of the Force, Kenobi was able to surprise Maul, and cleave him in half with his saber.
仓促挑战两位绝地武士无懈可击地证明了摩尔的技艺和忠诚。在希德王宫的核心地带，摩尔运用其双头剑同时抵抗欧比-旺·克诺比和奎-冈·金。当两位绝地被分开时，摩尔以一记恰到好处的光剑攻击刺死了奎-冈。恼羞成怒的克诺比向摩尔发起进攻。摩尔把欧比-旺对黑暗面的尝试当作原力攻击的渠道，挡开了这一波密集的进攻；摩尔运用原力把欧比-旺推入深深的矿坑。克诺比拼命抓住坑边突出的部分。他召唤原力光明面平静自己，出其不意地用光剑把摩尔砍成两段。

A pained look of bewilderment crossed Maul's tattooed face as death overtook him. His body fell into the melting pit, splitting in two as it tumbled into oblivion.
摩尔刺花的脸上闪过一个困惑的痛苦表情，死亡降临到他身上。他的身体掉入熔化坑，在翻滚中分为两段，最后失去踪影。

It was only a matter of time before Sidious acquired a new apprentice.
西迪厄斯再找个新徒弟只是时间问题。



幕后



The development of Darth Maul went through many iterations before the final design. Concept artist Iain McCaig concentrated on all sorts of different helmet designs, trying to come up with a masked look to rival Darth Vader. He eventually adapted a concept he had intended for senatorial characters -- painted and tattooed faces -- to come up with Darth Maul's look.
在最终定稿前，达斯·摩尔的设计多次推翻重作。概念画家伊恩·麦凯格专心于各种不同的头盔设计，试图找出一个能和达斯·维德相媲美的面具造型。最后，他从为议会角色准备的概念中挑出一张上色刺花的脸进行修改，完成了达斯·摩尔的造型。
