在正式开始之前，为大家预留一道选择题：

（单选题）文中是怎么解释“以下哪个不是‘Afflictions’的效果”？

A. 冰冻敌人；

B. 燃烧敌人；

C. 传送敌人；

D. 电击敌人；

As you progress through the story you’ll begin to unlock Afflictions through Poison Ivy’s Support Squad missions. These are basically status ailments, but they’re all double edged swords, with clear advantages and disadvantages. The game does describe all of these effects, but its very easy to miss the finer details of them without going and looking them up yourself.

Deep Freeze: Freezes enemies in place for 10 seconds and increases firearm damage by 200%, but greatly decreases melee damage and completely nullifies critical hit damage. Also enemies that are frozen in the air will fall to the ground and take 1000% damage, so, yeah look to freeze enemies in the air.

Venom Frenzy: Enemies are Crazed and will attack any nearby target, but will also gain a significant health boost.

Diablo Blaze: Enemies that are set on fire take damage over time, but cannot be Shield Harvested, meaning you can’t use them to get a quick refill of health. Setting those spidery Terminauts on fire also makes them move faster.

Livewire Bolt: Enemies that are electrocuted will take critical hits with every shot, but they also deal significantly more damage, making this a big risk vs reward affliction that you especially need to be careful about.

If sorting through each weapon in your squad is becoming a pain, remember that there's a tooltip to manage your inventory while looking through your loadout. You can mark multiple weapons or other gear to be broken down, and then remove them from your inventory to get a bit of currency for your troubles.

1. Ailment: An ailment is an illness, especially one that is not very serious. 小病;

2. Double edged sword: 双刃剑;

3. Finer: 更精细的;

4. Firearm: Firearms are guns. 枪; 炮;

5. Melee: A melee of things is a large, confusing, disorganized group of them. 混乱无序;

6. Nullify: To nullify something means to make it have no effect. 使无效;

7. Set on: 攻击;

8. Electrocute: If someone is electrocuted, they are accidentally killed or badly injured when they touch something connected to a source of electricity. 使…触电 (死亡或受伤);

9. Scrap: If you scrap something, you get rid of it or cancel it. 取消; 放弃;

10. Excess: Excess is used to describe amounts that are greater than what is needed, allowed, or usual. 过量的;

11. Tooltip: The tooltip or infotip or a hint is a common graphical user interface element. It is used in conjunction with a cursor, usually a pointer. 提示;

12. Loadout: 装备配置;

13. Break down: When a substance breaks down or when something breaks it down, a biological or chemical process causes it to separate into the substances which make it up. 分解;

随着故事的进展，你将通过毒藤女的支援小队任务开始解锁Afflictions。这些基本上是状态疾病，但它们都是双刃剑，有明显的优点和缺点。游戏确实描述了所有这些效果，但是如果不自己去查看，很容易错过其中的细节。

Deep Freeze: Freezes enemies in place for 10 seconds and increases firearm damage by 200%, but greatly decreases melee damage and completely nullifies critical hit damage. Also enemies that are frozen in the air will fall to the ground and take 1000% damage, so, yeah look to freeze enemies in the air.

深度冻结：将敌人冻结在原地10秒，增加枪械伤害200%，但大幅降低近战伤害并完全消除暴击伤害。另外，被冻结在空中的敌人会掉到地上并受到1000%的伤害，所以，是的，你需要设法把敌人冻结在空中。

Venom Frenzy: Enemies are Crazed and will attack any nearby target, but will also gain a significant health boost.

毒液狂热：敌人会陷入疯狂并攻击附近的任何目标，但也会获得显著的生命值提升。

Diablo Blaze: Enemies that are set on fire take damage over time, but cannot be Shield Harvested, meaning you can’t use them to get a quick refill of health. Setting those spidery Terminauts on fire also makes them move faster.

迪亚布罗之焰：被点燃的敌人会受到持续伤害，但无法被护盾收割，这意味着你无法利用他们快速恢复生命值。把这些蜘蛛状的终结者点燃也会使他们移动得更快。

Livewire Bolt: Enemies that are electrocuted will take critical hits with every shot, but they also deal significantly more damage, making this a big risk vs reward affliction that you especially need to be careful about.

活线闪电：被电击的敌人每次被击中都会受到暴击，但他们也会造成更多的伤害，使这成为一个巨大的风险与回报的痛苦，你需要特别小心。

如果整理小队中的每一件武器都让你感到痛苦，那么请记住，在查看你的装备时，有一个工具提示可以帮助你管理你的物品栏。你可以标记多个武器或其他装备进行分解，然后从你的物品栏中移除它们，以换取一些货币来解决你的麻烦。
