恶魔城 II - 西蒙的旅程：标题与序幕（引言）

Step into the shadows of the hell house. You've arrived back here at Transylvania on business : to destroy forever the curse of the evil count, Dracula.

踏入地狱之屋的阴影。你因公事回到了特兰西瓦尼亚：为了永远摧毁邪恶伯爵德拉库拉的诅咒。

The second coming of Count Dracula

You're Simon Belmont, bravest of the brave, boldest of the bold, a gothic warrior respected by kings.

You earned your praise, not by crushing Viking invaders or Turkish hordes, but by destroying the evil Count Dracula in a duel to the death at Castlevania. But your victory proved painful, as the wounds inflicted during the duel slowly gnawed at your soul.

One day, though, a beautiful maiden appeared. With a soft voice she warned that you were possessed by the Count's curse. She said your only hope of destroying the curse and healing your scars was to find the five body parts of Count Dracula and burn them all in his Castle, ending forever the reign of the Prince of Darkness.

Suddenly, like most beautiful visions, she began to fade. And as you reached to touch her, she spoke her final words:

"Fear not, brave Simon, for if you have the courage to risk your life, you will find the strength to win again."

德拉库拉伯爵的第二次降临。

你是西蒙·贝尔蒙特，勇者中的勇者，强者中的强者，是一位受国王尊敬的哥特战士。

你赢得这些赞誉，不是因为击败了维京入侵者或土耳其部落，而是在恶魔城的生死决斗中摧毁了邪恶的德拉库拉伯爵。但事实证明你的胜利是痛苦的，因为决斗中留下的伤口正在慢慢啃噬你的灵魂。

然而有一天，一位美丽的少女出现了。她用温柔的声音警告你，你已经中了伯爵的诅咒。她说你摧毁诅咒并愈合伤口的唯一希望，就是找到德拉库拉伯爵的五个身体部位，并将它们全部在他的城堡中烧毁，从而永远结束黑暗王子的统治。

突然间，就像大多数美好的幻象一样，她开始消逝。当你伸手去触碰她时，她留下了最后一句话：

“不要害怕，勇敢的西蒙，因为如果你有勇气冒着生命危险，你就会找到再次获胜的力量。”
