DEEP DIVES
Building Blocks: Desert Pyramid
砖砖筑楼: 沙漠神殿
An ancient monument buried in the sands
于沙尘中埋葬的古纪念碑
As you’re exploring the dunes of the desert biome, dodging husks, camels, and dead bushes, you’ll occasionally spot something more solid poking out of the sand. Often it’s just a desert well . Boring. But occasionally it’s not – and when it’s not, there’s a good chance it’ll be our structure of the month: the enigmatic, dangerous, treasure-packed desert pyramid.
当你探索连绵的沙漠群系、并从中遇见骆驼、枯萎的灌木并躲避尸壳时，你偶然会发现破沙而出的更为坚固的某物。通常它只是个沙漠水井。无聊乏味。但也有可能 – 可能发生时，你将有机会发现我们的本月建筑：神秘、危险又暗藏宝藏的沙漠神殿。
These impressive edifices were added to Minecraft in August 2012, in the same unnamed patch that added emeralds, ender chests and tripwires. Originally they were called desert temples, but a temple suggests worship or rituals and I’ve seen no evidence of either in these structures – so perhaps that’s why they got renamed to “pyramid” instead.
这些令人印象深刻的厦楼于2012年8月加入至 Minecraft ，伴随这次未命名更新的还有绿宝石、末影箱与绊线钩。原先它们被命名为沙漠寺庙（desert temples），但一个寺庙（temple）更被认为有对宗教的崇拜与信仰，我也并没有在这些建筑中找到与此相关的证据 – 这或许也是为什么它们反而被重命名为 “神殿” （pyramid）。

A desert pyramid can usually be recognised by its towers. They’re decorated with an ankh made of orange terracotta, which is the ancient Egyptian symbol for life. On the side with the towers you’ll find a main entrance, but if that’s buried then you can also get in through the windows near the top of the pyramid.
沙漠神殿通常能通过其塔楼辨别。其表面饰有由橙色陶瓦组成的T形十字章，在古埃及中象征着生命。你可以在神殿的塔楼之间找到主入口，但若神殿被掩埋，你也可以通过神殿顶部的窗口进入神殿。
Inside, you’ll find a decorative floor and not much else. But wait! Underneath that floor is a deep pit, containing four chests stuffed with goodies – ingots, diamonds, emeralds, horse armour, and even rare armor trim. There’s one problem – at the centre of the pit is a pressure plate linked to a bunch of TNT, which explodes if anything steps on the plate, destroying the loot. Tread very, very carefully if you want to recover it.
神殿内部，这里除了装饰过的地板，看上去什么也没有。但等等！在那地板下面有个深坑，暗藏着被各种宝藏 ——矿石锭、钻石、绿宝石、马鞍、甚至稀有的盔甲纹饰——填满的宝箱。只有一个问题——在深坑的正中间，有个压力板，连接了一捆TNT，一有谁踩上压力板，TNT就会爆炸，摧毁这些战利品。要想夺回这些宝藏就请务必非常、非常小心地着陆。
That’s not all you’ll find in these structures. Near the back, if you dig a bit, you can uncover a secret room buried in sand. This room is a treasure trove for archaeologists, who’ll find loads of suspicious sand that they can practice their brush skills on.
这还不是这个建筑的全部面貌。靠近神殿的背部，倘若你稍稍挖掘，你可以找到一个埋藏在沙子里的隐藏房间。这个房间是独属于考古学家的宝藏，可以在其中找到大量用来练习刷子技巧的可疑的沙子。

The inspiration for Minecraft’s desert pyramids is pretty clear – the pyramids at the Giza necropolis in Egypt are considered to be one of the great wonders of the ancient world – and they’re not alone. More than 100 pyramids of different sizes were constructed in Egypt between 2700 and 1700 BC as the burial monuments of kings.
Minecraft 的沙漠神殿的灵感来源显而易见 – 位于埃及吉萨墓地的金字塔群被认为是古代世界上最伟大的奇观之一 —— 而它们也并不孤单。公元前2700年至1700年间，埃及还建造了一百多所不同大小的金字塔，作为国王的陵墓。
But the Egyptians weren’t the first pyramid-builders. Far from it. Ancient Mesopotamian civilizations built the earliest pyramid-like structures, called ziggurats, as far back as 4000 BC. People at the time believed that gods lived in temples on the top of these structures, and so only priests and other high-status individuals could enter.
然而埃及人并不是第一个建造金字塔的人。更久之前。古代美索不达米亚文明建造了最早的类金字塔建筑，叫做塔庙（ziggurats），可追溯到公元前4000年。那个时代的人们坚信神便住在这些建筑顶部的寺庙里，只有教士和高阶层人士能够进入。
Other civilizations that have built pyramids include... *deep breath*...the Nubians, the Songhai, the Igbo, the ancient Greeks, the Spanish, the Romans, the Aztecs and Incans, various Andean cultures, Native American societies, the Chinese empire, the Chola empire, Austronesian cultures, Pacific islanders, and more. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find a culture that didn’t build some sort of pyramid at some point.
其他建造金字塔的文明还包括…*深呼吸*...努比亚文明，桑海文明，伊格博文明，古希腊文明，西班牙文明，罗马文明，阿兹特克与印加文明，各种安第斯文化，美洲土著社会，中华帝国，朱罗帝国，南岛文化，太平洋岛民等等。事实上，你很难找到某种文化在某时刻从未建造过金字塔。
Perhaps the most interesting real-world pyramid for Minecrafters is the Zeitpyramide in Wemding, Germany. This work of public art began construction in 1993, and a new block is added every 10 years. So at the time of writing, it consists of four blocks, and it’s due to be completed in the year 3183.
也许对 Minecraft 玩家们来说最感兴趣的现实中的金字塔是位于德国韦姆丁的 Zeitpyramide （参考译名：时间金字塔）。这项公共艺术作品于 1993 年开始建造，每10年放置一个方块。因此在本文撰写之时，它由四个方块组成，并且预计在 3183 年完成。
So how about that as a challenge? Ten years is maybe a bit much, but why not pledge to create a pyramid in Minecraft where you place just one block per month, or per week? If the Ancient Egyptians weren’t in a rush to finish their pyramids, then maybe you can afford to take a bit more time over yours, too...
所以把这作为一个挑战如何？十年可能有点久，但为啥不发个誓在 Minecraft 中建个金字塔，每个月，或者每个星期，就放那么一个方块呢？如果古埃及人不急于完成他们的金字塔，那么也许你可以花更多的时间造一个，你自己的金字塔…
