《古墓丽影》劳拉进化史——美女探险家成长历程
Tomb Raider: A Visual History of Lara Croft
《古墓丽影》的女主角劳拉自从1996年首次亮相之后，随着一部部新作品的发售，她的形象也在不断发生着变化。下面我们一起来回顾一下这位美女探险家的“成长历程”。
Tomb Raider's titular heroine has grown up and out of her jaggy polygons since her original debut in 1996. Click the thumbnails to take a look her incredible evolution from budding explorer to hardened female warrior.
1996 古墓丽影 PC、PS、Sega Saturn、N-Gage、PS3、PSP
劳拉第一次出现在世人眼中，这一形象也同时建立了她的标志性形象：蓝色背心、棕色短裤。这一形象也一直陪她至今。在这个几乎全是男性角色的游戏界，能有这样一抹独特的风景，并持续数年，实属不易。
Lara's inauguration to the world of tomb raiding also established her signature and iconic blue tank top and brown shorts that stuck with her for years after. In an industry brimming with macho male game characters and bravado, it was inspiring to see such a kick ass female hijack the stage.
1997 古墓丽影2 PC、PS、Mac、PS3、PSP
劳拉的第二年…胸部不像以前那样尖了。她的纹理得到了改善，也有了新的世界去探索，也有了新的需要揭开的谜题。劳拉也借此迅速蹿红，成为游戏界最为全能的女子。
Ms. Croft's sophomore year efforts were much less...angular. Her textures got a bit of a boost as well, and with bold new worlds to explore and quests to conquer, Lara was quickly cementing herself as video game's most versatile and adventurous leading lady.
1997 影武者 PC、Mac
1997年，劳拉已经无人不知无人不晓。当时有个很有意思的事情，一家PC射击游戏《影武者》的开发商甚至没有经过授权便偷偷在游戏中加入了劳拉的形象。看着被捆绑的劳拉不知大家心里有没有些BT的想法涌出。
By 1997, Lara was everywhere. Even unofficially, like in the back of a hidden prison cell where the developers of the raunchy and outrageously violent PC shooter Shadow Warrior decided to hide her without the permission of her parent company. Look at her! Can you blame them?
1998 古墓丽影3 PC、Mac、PS、PS3、PSP
在《古墓丽影3》中，劳拉的形象也没有发生什么太大的变换。既然之前没有什么问题，就没有必要瞎改，对吧？省得闹出和《鬼泣》一样的麻烦。不过，作为一款游戏，原地踏步肯定是不行的，一些比较大的改变正在悄然准备中。
Not much was altered for Lara's official return in Tomb Raider 3 because if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? But since staying the same forever is not how video games work, big changes were on the way for the Tomb Raider franchise.
1999 古墓丽影：最终启示 PC、Mac、PS、PS3、PSP、DreamCast
第四部《古墓丽影》中，劳拉的皮肤继续变光滑，她的动作效果也越来越逼真。这里有一个很严谨的问题向大家求证：劳拉的胸围是不是一部比一部大了？
Lara's fourth adventure continued to smooth out her appearance and gave her more flexible joints. And we're not Victoria's Secret scientists or anything, but her bust size seems to definitely be getting bigger with each new game.
2000 古墓丽影 GBC
这应该算是画面最挫的一部《古墓丽影》了，完全的像素风。这是部掌机作品，感觉有点像《波斯王子》。
The flattest Lara ever, stripped down to just a few pixels. This portable adventure played a lot like Prince of Persia.
2000 古墓丽影：历代记 PC、Mac、PS、PS3、DreamCast
《历代记》是《最终启示》的续作。在本作中，劳拉的着装发生了改变，但也称不上翻天覆地。她的新款黑色潜行衣还是很有范儿的。
A direct sequel to Last Revelation, Chronicles didn't change Lara's appearance too much. She did have new outfits like this black stealth suit and a camouflaged snowsuit, though.
2001 古墓丽影 电影版
随后，劳拉来到了现实世界中，化身为安吉丽娜朱莉。这部电影版《古墓丽影》是2010年的《波斯王子》之前最为叫座的游戏改编剧。
And then there's Lara Croft in real life, played by Angelina Jolie. This was the highest grossing video game movie ever until Prince of Persia was released in 2010.
2002 古墓丽影：预言 GBA
这又是一款像素版的劳拉。这也是首部采用垂直视角的《古墓丽影》作品，这之后采用这一视角的就是好几年后的《劳拉与光之守护者》了。
Another pocket-sized, pixilated Lara. This was the first time we played Tomb Raider from a top-down perspective, a view we would enjoy again in Guardian of Light a few years later.
2003 古墓丽影：黑暗天使 PC、Mac、PS2
劳拉在PS2主机上的首次亮相便是黑暗色调的风格。在这部作品中，她将自己标志性的蓝色背心换成了黑色款。
Her first appearance on the PlayStation 2 was supposed to be a darker take on Lara Croft. You can tell she's emo because she traded her usual light blue shirt for a black one.
2006 古墓丽影：传奇 GameCube、PC、PS2、PSP、Xbox、Xbox 360
Crystal Dynamics接管劳拉后拯救了她。《传奇》是近几年最好的《古墓丽影》作品。
Crystal Dynamics saved Lara when it became her caretaker in 2006. Legend was the best Tomb Raider in years.
2007 古墓丽影十周年纪念版 PC、Mac、PS2、PSP、Xbox 360、Wii
《十周年纪念版》中，劳拉恢复了她最经典的一身装束。其模型也越来越接近现实中的人。
Anniversary reimagined the original 1996 Tomb Raider for 2007 and brought Lara's appearance back to something resembling a real woman.
2008 古墓丽影：地下世界 PC、PS2、PS3、Xbox 360、Wii
在《地下世界》中，劳拉换成了深棕色的背心，黑色的短裤。她的发型也从大辫子变成了马尾辫。
In Underworld, Lara opted for a dark brown halter top and black shorts instead of the turquoise sleeveless top and khakis she normally rolled in. She also changed her hair from a braid to a ponytail.
2010 劳拉与光之守护者 iOS、PS3、PC、Xbox 360
《劳拉与光之守护者》是一款比较另类的作品，为我们带来了更加卡通化的劳拉。
Guardian of Light was a spinoff game that presented a more cartoonish or comic book version of Lara Croft.
2012 古墓丽影 PC、PS3、Xbox 360
今年晚些时候，一款更加翻天覆地的《古墓丽影》将会横空出世，为我们带来有史以来最为逼真的一位劳拉。
Later this year, the entire Tomb Raider series will be rebooted, introducing us to the most realistic portrayal of Lara Croft, yet.
