身为教令院风纪官们的首领，大风纪官赛诺在教令院内的「威名」可谓无人不知，无人不晓。
As the leader of all Matra, General Mahamatra Cyno is well known to everyone in the Akademiya.
虽然他的职责是抓捕违反教令之人，中止违禁研究，维护院内风纪…但在学者们的口中，这位大风纪官是在毁坏学术，禁绝研究，甚至是「剪除求知之路」，院内的每一个渴望求知的学者都可能受到他的「威胁」…
中止违禁研究terminate illegal studies
His duties are to arrest those who violate the Akademiya's rules and regulations,terminate illegal studies, and uphold discipline of the Akademiya. Nevertheless, researchers feel that this General Mahamatra does nothing but undermine academic progress and prohibit scientific research. Some even claim that he is "cutting off the path to knowledge" and can be seen as a dire threat to any researcher eager to seek knowledge...
久而久之，只要看见了赛诺的身影，学者们都会不约而同地噤声退避，生怕和他沾上一点关系。
退避shrink away from
Over time, researchers have come to shrink away from Cyno in silence whenever they so much as see him, wanting to have nothing to do with him.
但大风纪官对这种情况并不介意。
But the General Mahamatra is hardly bothered by such things.
如果这种夸张的「威名」真能震慑住学者们的话，那也有助于他进行维护院内风纪的工作。
震慑deter
If this exaggerated public image can really deter some researchers, that will in no way be an inconvenience for his work.
况且，套用他那位巡林官朋友的话来说——
Plus, in the words of that Forest Watcher friend of his,
「大部分学者所进行的研究，都没有重要到需要和风纪官谈话的程度。」
"The research conducted by most researchers is nowhere significant enough to result in a talk with a Matra."
