一、今日頭版--別了，EDEN

原文刊載於 EDEN之聲 EDEN之聲--別了，EDEN

This is the last article from Erepublik Defence and Economy Network. There is no more one final battle, no one final challenge. All stories must come to an end, and the time for EDEN has long since come.
這是eRepublik防禦與經濟聯盟發佈的最後一篇文章。沒有最後一戰，沒有最終挑戰。所有的故事都將結束，而EDEN已奮鬥已久。

EDEN was founded in the aftermath of ATLANTIS collapsing, during summer of 2009 when PEACE invaded North America. EDEN formed to fight against the PEACE incursion. Its ideals were to defend member countries and to fight with valour and dignity. Founding members were the nations of Croatia, Finland, Norway, Poland, Romania, Spain and Sweden. Later on countries such as Greece and Bosnia & Herzegovina joined the Brotherhood.
EDEN創立於ATLANTIS解散之後，大約好似是2009年夏天PEACE入侵北美的時候。EDEN的成立是為了反抗PEACE的侵略。它的理念是守衛成員國、守衛勇气与尊严。創始會員國有克羅埃西亞、芬蘭、挪威、波蘭、羅馬尼亞、西班牙以及瑞典。隨後加入手足之盟有希臘、波士尼亞及赫塞哥維納等國。

During its past, EDEN gained and lost members. With each new joining and each new departure, EDEN changed. It evolved as the world changed - some may say even too much, for the alliance was barely recognisable at times when compared to its ideals. EDEN during its last year was very different from EDEN during its first year.
在EDEN，有人來了也有人走了。無論他們來或去，都曾改變EDEN。EDEN也隨著世界的改變而改變 – 甚至有人說這變化有些太過，有人說與他們加入初衷相去甚遠。現在EDEN早已迥異與最初。

We achieved great victories. The world history is filled with campaigns where EDEN marched forward. Even in times of defeat EDEN was still the one everyone looked up to. For years we marched on. Look what happened to our opponents:
我們有過勝利。歷史也會記載著EDEN曾經奮鬥不止。即使失敗，EDEN也從未讓人小覷。那些年我們一起奮鬥過。那些年，與我們同時的對手呢：

PEACE fell.
Phoenix fell.
NWO fell.
ONE fell.
PEACE沒了。
Phoenix沒了。
NWO沒了。
ONE沒了。

One after another they formed, fought, resisted and eventually, collapsed. This is the testimony of EDEN - the oldest alliance of eRepublik history. Everyone came and went, but EDEN stayed. Maybe it stayed for too long, since now it is only a shadow of its former self; an echo from the past. Only the name is the same for an alliance that outlived everyone else.
一個又一個的聯盟前仆後繼。他們見證了EDEN至此最後一個榮耀 – eRepublik史上最長壽的聯盟。人們來了又走了，但EDEN仍在這裡。或許太久，除卻名字，其他唯剩下聲與影映照最初。
What describes EDEN perhaps the best is an old poem from the 19th century by Lord Tennyson:
也許這首來自遙遠的19世紀的由Lord Tennyson寫的詩可以反映EDEN的境況：

“We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
“雖然我們不復以往憾天動地般的強壯,
我們依然存有同樣的雄心壯志,
縱使時間與命運使我們脆弱,
但我仍有堅強的意志去奮鬥、去追尋, 而不輕易放棄.”

Indeed, EDEN has been made weak by time and fate. We do not possess the strength of the old days nor the will, but the alliance lingers on. It has become time to stop.
確實，EDEN已被時間及命運摧殘。我們已不復以往憾天動地般的強壯，但聯盟殘存了下來。是時候停止了。

There are now none of the founding members left in EDEN. Countries left are leaving one by one to join other alliances or to try something new. Channels have been dead for months. This isn’t the alliance it was and calling it EDEN is blasphemy to its history. Maybe the countries left as members form an alliance, but do not call that EDEN. That it is not.
現在EDEN內已沒有了創始會員國。曾經的朋友一個接著一個的離開、加入另外一個聯盟或嘗試其他的可能。頻道已沉默數月。這已不再是最初的、被人所稱頌的那個EDEN，這已成了褻瀆。或許離去的會員國成立了別的聯盟，但請不要稱作EDEN。它們不是。

Stop spitting on EDEN’s grave. We ask rest of the in-game alliance country congresses to vote for leaving EDEN so it may finally be let in the ground. Be fair and let it die with honour.
不要唾棄EDEN之墓。我們請求遊戲中僅剩的會員國議員們投票離開EDEN，讓EDEN塵歸塵土歸土。帶著公平帶著榮譽離去。

Farewell. It is time for new trees to grow.
別了！是時候讓新秀成長了。
