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)分中世紀巨劍和文藝復(fù)興時期的雙手劍。

  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)興時期的武器，而不是中世紀的武器。

  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/德國的Dopplehander，Bidenhander，Zweihander等名稱。Zweihander這名字其實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").

  英國的雙手劍有時是對“屠劍slaughterswords”的稱呼，出自德國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付長矛方陣。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，英國和其他地方的學(xué)校，也教授雙手劍兵一對一戰(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，和長達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.

  這個設(shè)計彌補了雙手劍防守動作緩慢的缺陷，并且可以讓敵方的劍被暫時地困住。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.
