The very first true brown dwarf had been found.

第一个真正的褐矮星被发现了。

Many more such L stars were found, but still these weren't true brown dwarfs: these stars were massive enough to initiate fusion in their cores.

后来还发现了更多这样的恒星，但它们仍然不是真正的棕矮星：这些恒星的质量大到足以在其核心引发聚变。

And if any of my kindred, the true Dwarfs, are still alive anywhere in the world, doubtless they would despise me and call me a traitor.

假如我的同宗——纯种小矮人——还活在世上的某一个地方，他们毫无疑问会鄙视我，叫我‘叛徒’。
