漫游动物园：北极熊
There’s snow bear like a polar bear!
雪一样的北极熊！
In Minecraft’s frostiest corners, in the iciest of Overworld biomes, lives a furry creature that’ll melt your heart and then probably try to eat it: the polar bear.
在我的世界最寂寞的角落中，在最寒冷的生物群系里，生活着一种毛茸茸的动物——它会萌化你的心，也可能会吃掉你——北极熊！
This huge, majestic creature has been hanging out in Minecraft’s chilly climes since mid-2016 when it was added to the game alongside fossils, strays, and husks as part of the Frostburn update.
自2016年中以来，这种庞大而不怒自威的生物就在我的世界寒冷的气候中出没了，当时它与化石、流浪者和尸壳一起在《霜炙更新》中加入。
Polar bears spawn on top of snow-covered grass or ice in snowy plains, ice spikes, and frozen ocean biomes in Java Edition. In Bedrock, they can also spawn in frozen rivers, snowy slopes, and sometimes jagged peaks and frozen peaks.
在JAVA版中，北极熊生成在雪原、冰刺之地与冷海生物群系中的被雪覆盖的草地或冰面上。在基岩版中，它们时而生成在结冰的河流、雪山，时而生成在冰封山峰与尖峭山峰。
They spend most of their lives just wandering around, not caring much about what’s going on nearby. But all that changes when there’s a baby polar bear cub hanging around – the adults become super-aggressive and will attack any player who comes near their little darling.
它们一生中绝大部分时间在四处闲逛，不太在意附近发生的事情。但当它有了幼崽，一切就都会变了——成年熊会变得超级好斗，并会攻击任何靠近他们的小宝贝的玩家。
Polar bears were added to the game because Jens "Jeb" Bergensten's wife Jenny is a fan of them. In 2017, he told Minecraft.net’s dearly-missed former editor Marsh Davies that they even have a polar bear room in their house. And then when they had a little cub of their own, there was no question:
北极熊能够被加入游戏，得意于Jeb的妻子Jenny是北极熊的爱好者。2017年，他告诉非常挂念的Minecraft.net前编辑马什·戴维斯（Marsh Davies），他的房子里甚至留有北极熊的房间。之后当他们有了自己的孩子时，毫无疑问——

“Jenny had been nagging me for a long time to add a bear to Minecraft. And so I told her – well, if we ever have a bear of our own, I’ll add a bear in Minecraft. And then it turned true, because our son was born and we called him Björn – which means bear in Swedish! So I had to add a bear in the game.”
——JEB
“珍妮一直在唠叨，让我在我的世界中加入一只熊。所以我告诉她——好吧，如果我们有一只属于我们自己的熊，我会在我的世界中添加熊的。后来这件事情变成了真的，因为我们的儿子出生了，我们叫他比约恩（Björn），这在瑞典语中就是熊的意思！所以我不得不在游戏中加入熊。”
——Jeb
If you think polar bears in Minecraft are dangerous, wait till you hear about them in the real world! They’re scientifically classified as “hypercarnivores”, meaning that they get more than 70% of their diet from meat. They weigh half a ton and are up to three meters long, making them the biggest bears in the world. They have extremely sharp teeth and claws, and are excellent swimmers – allowing them to chase down prey both on land and at sea.
如果你认为我的世界中的北极熊很危险，那就来听听在现实中的它们的故事吧！他们被科学地归类为“超级食肉动物”，这意味着他们70%以上的饮食来自肉类。它们重达半吨，长达三米，是世界上最大的熊。它们拥有极其锋利的牙齿和爪子，是优秀的游泳运动员，无论是陆地还是海上，追捕猎物都轻而易举。

Luckily, despite their fearsome nature, polar bears aren’t naturally aggressive. They’re not territorial, and when they have enough food they generally run from confrontations rather than fight. Unfortunately, climate change making their food sources more scarce, combined with increasing human presence in the Arctic, has made the risk of attacks on humans much greater.
幸运的是，尽管北极熊的性格可怕，但它们并非是天生好斗的。他们没有领地，当他们有足够的食物时，面对强敌他们通常是逃避对抗而不是战斗。不幸的是，气候变化使他们的食物来源更加稀缺，加上北极地区的人类活动日益增多，使人类遭受袭击的风险大大增加。
It’s hard to say how many polar bears there are in the world because they’re solitary creatures and don’t hang out in groups. Our best estimates are that there’s somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 – and while that number seems to be stable, it’s expected to drop significantly in the coming years as more of their main hunting habitat – Arctic sea ice – melts due to climate change.
很难说世界上究竟有多少只北极熊，因为它们是独居动物，不会成群出没。我们最准确的估计是大约有2万到3万只，虽然这个数字看起来很稳定，但随着更多的主要狩猎栖息地——北极海冰——因气候变化而融化，预计在未来几年里，这一数字将大幅下降。
Happily, there’s no shortage of polar bears in Minecraft, and they’re altogether safer to visit. Just be very, very careful if one of their cubs is around...
令人高兴的是，在我的世界中北极熊并不稀缺，而且它们更安全。只要非常非常小心，如果他们的一只幼崽在身边……
