There is some confusion over the number of sisters that Arthur have. Originally Arthur had only one sister, Anna, who married King Lot of Orkney (according to Geoffrey of Monmouth in Historia regum Britanniae). Geoffrey had written in Latin. Other works that were written in Latin often used the name Anna as well.

一直以来，关于亚瑟王的姐妹数目始终存在着不同的说法。起初亚瑟只有一个姐妹，嫁给了奥克尼的洛特王的安娜（根据蒙默思的杰弗里的《不列颠尼亚诸王史》的说法）。杰弗里是用拉丁语记录的。其他拉丁文著作通常也会记录安娜这个名字（作为亚瑟的姐妹）。

Later authors omitted Anna, saying that Arthur had two or three half-sisters, daughters of Gorlois or Hoel and Igraine. In the Vulgate Merlin chapter 4, the Micha manuscript only say that Igraine had two daughters, the eldest is wife to Lot and the other was Morgan, who Neutres of Garlot took; while the Sommer text mentioned three, Neutres marrying a different sister. In the next chapter, Igraine has five daughters, two by her first husband, and three by Duke of Tintagel. The eldest was married to Lot, the second to Neutres, 3rd to Urien, the 4th to Caradoc (father of Aguisant of Scotland) and the last was in school (most likely Morgan). Sir Thomas Malory had only mention three: Morgawse, Elaine (Blasine), who was married to Neutres, and Morgan le Fay.

后来的作者们省略了安娜，说亚瑟王有2-3个同母异父的姐妹，是格洛斯（或叫Hoel）和伊格瑞茵的女儿。在Vulgate Merlin的第四章节，Micha的手抄本只说了伊格瑞茵有两个女儿，大女儿嫁给了洛特王，另一个叫做摩根，嫁给了加洛特的Neutres①；在Sommer的文本中则提到了三个女儿，Neutres娶了（亚瑟王的）另一个姐妹。在下一个章节里，伊格瑞茵则有五个女儿，两个是她和第一个丈夫生的，另外三个则是延杰塔尔公爵的女儿。其中最大的女儿嫁给了洛特王，二女儿嫁给了Neutres，三女儿嫁给了尤里安国王，四女儿嫁给了卡拉多克（苏格兰的奥古桑特的父亲），最小的那个在学习中（更像是摩根）。马洛礼爵士则只提到了三个女儿：莫高丝、嫁给了Neutres的伊莲（布莱西恩）和摩根勒菲。

Not much is known about Elaine (Blasine), except that she married King Nentres of Garlot, and was the mother of Galeshin, the Duke of Clarence [Le Morte d'Arthur, Book I chapter 2]. Since there are so many women named Elaine, she was usually called Elaine of Garlot.

除了嫁给加洛特国王Neutres以及生下了克拉伦斯公爵Galeshin以外，并没有很多资料是关于伊莲的。由于在圆桌骑士的传说里有许多叫做伊莲的女人，因此，她通常被叫做加洛特的伊莲。

According to Geoffrey and his successors (Wace and Layamon), Anna was the daughter of Uther Pendragon and Igraine. Which mean Anna was the full sister of Arthur. Anna was probably one and the same person as Morgawse, the half-sister of Arthur, in the later legend (see Morgawse).

根据杰弗里和他的支持者们（韦斯和莱亚门）的说法，安娜是乌瑟·潘德拉贡和伊格瑞茵的女儿，这意味着着安娜是亚瑟的亲生姐妹。安娜很可能和较晚期的传说故事里亚瑟同母异父的姐姐莫高丝，是同一个人。

But her parentage and her relationship with Arthur is not so clear in Geoffrey of Monmouth's account of Historia regum Britanniae. There is even confusion of who Anna was married to.

但在蒙默思的杰弗里的《不列颠尼亚诸王史》中，她的身世和与亚瑟的关系并不十分明确，甚至也并不明确安娜究竟嫁给了谁。

At first, Anna was the daughter of Uther and Igraine, and therefore full sister of Arthur [VIII 20]. And in the next paragraph [VIII 21], Uther gave Anna to Lot (Loth) of Lodonesia in marriage. But earlier on, when Arthur was ruling the kingdom, Hoel, king of Brittany, was said to be the son of Anna (Arthur's sister) and Budicius, king of Brittany [IX 2]. So here, we have the contradiction to who was Anna's husband.

起初，安娜是乌瑟和伊格瑞茵的女儿，这就让她成了亚瑟的亲姐妹[VIII 20]。然后在下一个段落，乌瑟把安娜嫁给了Lodonesia的洛特。但在前面一些的描述亚瑟统治王国的章节里，提到了布列塔尼国王Hoel，是安娜（亚瑟的姐妹）和布列塔尼国王布迪休斯的儿子[IX 2]。

所以在这里，关于究竟谁是安娜的丈夫，有着自相矛盾的说法。

Later still, when Geoffrey say that she was Lot's wife, and the mother of Gawain and Mordred; Anna was no longer the sister of Arthur and daughter of Uther. No, she is now the sister of Aurelius Ambrosius, which make her as Arthur's aunt [IX 9].

仍然是在后面一点的记载里，当杰弗里说她是洛特的妻子，以及高文和莫德雷德的母亲时，安娜就不再是亚瑟的姐妹和乌瑟的女儿了。不，现在她是奥勒利乌斯·安布罗修斯的姐妹，这就使她成了亚瑟的姑姑。[IX 9]

It's a possibly that there are two Anna, one who is Arthur's sister and the other is Arthur's aunt. Another possibility, in the case of there being two sisters of Arthur, both are named Anna - one married to Loth and the other to Budicius of Brittany. Both are possibilities, but it is highly unlikely. I would just say that Geoffrey of Monmouth made a blunder when he drew up Arthur's genealogy. There are no such confusion found in the accounts of Wace and Layamon; Anna was clearly Uther's daughter and Arthur's sister.

也有可能其实存在着两个安娜，一个是亚瑟的姐妹，另一个则是亚瑟的姑姑。另一个可能是，亚瑟有两个姐妹，都叫安娜——一个嫁给了洛特，另一个嫁给了布列塔尼的布迪西斯。这两种可能性都存在，但都并不是很靠谱。我觉得蒙默思的杰弗里在撰写亚瑟的家谱时粗心搞错了，在韦斯和莱亚门的记载中就没有这样的困惑，他们很清楚记载了安娜是乌瑟的女儿和亚瑟的姐妹。

Though, her name appeared several other times in other works (eg The Rise of Gawain), her name was replaced with Morgawse or various other spellings. In many of these later legend, Morgawse was only Arthur's sister.

尽管在别的一些传说（例如：高文爵士崛起）中也有出现过她的名字，在另一些传说中，她的名字被莫高丝或是许多别的拼写替代了。在许多稍晚期的传说里，莫高丝只是亚瑟的姐姐。

In the Welsh legend, sister of Arthur and mother of Gwalchmei (Gawain) was named Gwyar. Though none of the tales of the Mabinogion say who Medrawd's (Mordred's) mother was, we can assume his mother was also Gwyar. It is believed that Gwyar was thought to be a goddess or the Sovereignty of Britain.

在威尔士传说中，亚瑟的姐妹和高文（Gwalchmei）的母亲叫做Gwyar。尽管在《马比诺吉昂》的其他传说中没有提及谁是莫德雷德（Medrawd）的母亲，我们可以假设他的母亲也是Gwyar。有理由相信Gwyar是一位女神或是不列颠的王族。

And according to Wolfram von Eschenbach, a German poet who wrote Parzival (c. 1200), the sister of Arthur was named Sangive. Her children were named Gawan (Gawain), Beacurs, Kundrie, Surdamur and Itonje.

根据Parzival的德文诗歌 Wolfram Von Eschenbach（1200年）的说法，亚瑟的姐妹叫做珊吉芙。她的孩子是高文（Gawan），Beacurs，Kundrie，Surdamur和Itonje。
