  雙手劍

  Two-handed Swords雙手劍(雙巨的原型)

  The term "two-hander" or "two-handedsword" (espée a deure mains or spada da due mani) was in use asearly as 1400 and is really a classification of sword applied both to Medievalgreat-swords as well Renaissance swords (the true two-handed swords).

  “雙手劍”一詞早在1400年出現(xiàn)，并且用于區(qū)分中世紀(jì)巨劍和文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期的雙手劍。

  Such weapons saw more use in the later Middle Ages andearly Renaissance.

  這種武器多用于中世紀(jì)后期和文藝復(fù)興早期。

  Technically, true two-handed swords (epee's a deuxmain) were actually Renaissance, not Medieval weapons.

  從技術(shù)上講，真正的雙手劍是文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期的武器，而不是中世紀(jì)的武器。

  They are really those specialized forms of the later1500-1600's, such as theSwiss/German Dopplehander ("double-hander")or Bidenhander ("both-hander")or Zweihander / Zweyhander are relatively modern not historicalterms.

  他們是之后1500-1600年代的分化的劍的前身，如瑞士/德國(guó)的Dopplehander，Bidenhander，Zweihander等名稱。Zweihander這名字其實(shí)是后世所后加的而非歷史術(shù)語。

  English ones were sometimes referred to as"slaughterswords" after theGermanSchlachterschwerter ("battle swords").

  英國(guó)的雙手劍有時(shí)是對(duì)“屠劍slaughterswords”的稱呼，出自德國(guó)Schlachter schwerter。(slaughter sword有可能就是Lowlander Sword)

  These weaponswere used primarily for fighting against pike-squares where they would hackpaths through lobbing the tips off the poles.

  這些武器主要用于對(duì)付長(zhǎng)矛方陣。雙手劍兵將把矛尖撥開甚至劈斷，殺出一條血路。

  In Germany, England, and elsewhere schools also taughttheir use for single-combat.

  在德國(guó)，英國(guó)和其他地方的學(xué)校，也教授雙手劍兵一對(duì)一戰(zhàn)斗。

  In True two-handed swords have compound-hilts withside-rings and enlarged cross-guards of up to 12 inches.

  真正的雙手劍，配有側(cè)環(huán)，復(fù)合劍柄，和長(zhǎng)達(dá)30.5厘米的放大版劍格。

  Most havesmall, pointed lugs or flanges protruding from their blades 4-8 inches belowtheir guard.

  大多雙手劍的劍格下方10-20厘米處有突出的凸緣。

  These parrierhaken or "parryinghooks" act almost as a secondary guard for the ricasso to prevent otherweapons from sliding down into the hands.

  這些錨爪或者叫“格擋鉤”幾乎作為ricasso(ricasso即劍身靠近柄的不開刃處)的第二劍格，以防止其他武器劈到手。

  They make up for the weapon's slowness on the defenceand can allow another blade to be momentarily trapped or bound up. They canalso be used to strike with.

  這個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)彌補(bǔ)了雙手劍防守動(dòng)作緩慢的缺陷，并且可以讓敵方的劍被暫時(shí)地困住。也能用來打擊。

  The most well-known of "twa handit swordis" isthe Scottish Claymore (Gaelic for "claidheamh-more" orgreat-sword) which developed out of earlier Scottish great-swords with whichthey are often compared.
