Minecraft’s Overworld is beautiful, but without the people living in it, it would be a little dull. In fact, that’s how it was in the game’s earliest days – a near-endless Overworld with only trees and the occasional chicken for company. Some say it was better then. But not me – I love the diversity and life brought to the landscape by the occasional bustling village.
Minecraft的主世界很绚丽，但如果没有生活在其中的人，就会显得有点沉闷。事实上，这就是游戏最早的样子——一个几乎无尽的主世界，只有树和偶尔有的鸡作为点缀。很多人说，那时的样子更好。但我并不在其中——我喜欢偶尔熙熙攘攘的村庄给景色带来多样和生机。
Villages first popped up in Java Edition Beta 1.8 in September 2021[疑似作者误写，翻译中已改正], and they originally only generated in plains and desert biomes. When first added, villages were empty – and they were originally going to be populated by pigmen. But the pigmen got moved to the Nether, and instead villagers moved in in version 1.0, the Adventure Update. They’ve been upgraded many times since, most notably in the Village & Pillage update in April 2019.
村庄在2012年9月首次出现在Java版Beta 1.8中，村庄最初只在平原和沙漠生物群落中生成。最初添加时，村庄是没有人的——它们最初是猪人居住的。但是猪人后来被转到下界，取而代之的是1.0版本的村民们在，即冒险更新中加入。从那以后，村民被更新多次内容，而最引人注目的更新是2019年4月的村庄和掠夺更新。
I would guess that most Minecraft players will have stumbled across a village at some point in their travels. They’re found in plains, savanna, taiga, meadows, snowy plains, and desert biomes – and the biome dictates the look of the village. Oak and cobblestone in the plains, spruce in the taiga, sandstone in the desert.
我猜大多数Minecraft冒险家都会在旅途中偶然发现一个村庄。村庄分布在平原、金合欢草原、针叶林、草地、雪原和沙漠生物群落中——生物群落决定了村庄的外观。平原上的村庄是橡树和原石构成，在针叶林是云杉构成，在沙漠中则是砂岩构成。
Different villages can be very different – some larger, some smaller, and all with a different collection of tradespeople that range from farmers to blacksmiths to clerics to cartographers to nitwits. You’ll also usually find animals belonging to the village, and often an iron golem that protects the population.
不同的村庄也会不一样——有的更大，而有的更小，并且都有不同的商业群体，从农民到铁匠到牧师再到制图师最后到牧羊师。你通常还会发现一些在村庄的动物，也通常还有一个保护村民的铁傀儡。
The best reason to visit a village is for trade. Villagers often have raw material needs that only outsiders can fulfil, and they’re willing to pay for those goods in emeralds. You can then use those emeralds to buy things off other villagers – including rarities like enchanted books and chainmail armour. As you trade with a villager, they’ll level up – and so the more you trade, the more interesting items can be obtained.
到访村庄的最好理由是与村民交易。村民们往往只有别的人才能满足原材料需求，村民会用绿宝石来支付这些交易的商品。然后，你可以用这些绿宝石从其他职业的村民那里购买商品——包括附魔书和琐套等稀有物品。当你与一个村民交易时，他们会升级——所以你交易的越多，可以获得的有意思的物品就越多。
You’ve probably noticed that villages exist in the real world too, though with a larger population than the ones in Minecraft. Exactly numbers vary depending on where in the world you’re talking about, but a village on Earth usually houses somewhere between a few hundred to a few thousand people.
你可能已经注意到，现实世界也存在着村庄，尽管人口比Minecraft中的村庄人口更多。确切地说，人口数量会根据你所说的世界任何地方而都有所不同，但世界上大部分村庄通常居住着几百到几千人。
Historically, it was most common to find permanent villages within farming communities – and for thousands of years they were home to a majority of the world’s population. Gathering people together in a village allowed for easier sociability and defence, but without so many people that infectious disease could become a serious risk.
从历史上来看，在农业国家内找到长久的村庄是最常见的——几千年来，这些村庄是世界上大多数人口的家。将人们聚集在一个村庄里可以更容易地进行交往和防御，但是如果没有那么多人，传染病可能会成为对村民的一种严重风险。
It wasn’t until the Industrial Revolution that factories and mills began to draw people to live together in larger numbers, and many villages began to grow into towns and cities. Today, more people on Earth live in cities than anywhere else. But in Minecraft? No cities – villages are still where it’s at. All we need to do now is just hope that the villagers don’t kick off an industrial revolution...
直到工业革命，工厂和磨坊才开始吸引更多的人共同工作，许多村庄开始发展成为城镇。直到今天，地球上生活在城市的人比其他任何地方都多。但是在Minecraft中呢？没有城市，村庄还在原来的样子。我们现在需要做的就是，希望村民们不要掀起工业革命......
