In the vast world of Minecraft, even simple items can play an outsized role in your explorations. Just think about how important wood planks are, for example – you wouldn’t have a crafting bench without them, and without a crafting bench you wouldn’t be able to make much.
《我的世界》的广阔世界里，即使是简单的东西也可以在你的探险中起巨大作用。例如，想想木板有多重要——如果没有它们，你就不会有工作台，如果没有工作台，你就几乎什么也做不了。
Another item that seems unimportant but actually unlocks a lot of vital tools for the explorer-on-the-go is paper. Without it, there’d be no maps, enchanting, fireworks, or banner patterns. Let’s follow the paper trail, and find out how – crowning it as our item of the month in the process!
另一件看似不重要 但实际上 为旅途中的冒险家解锁了许多重要工具的物品 是纸。没有它，就没有地图、附魔书、烟花或旗帜图案。让我们跟随纸上的线索，看看如何做到这一点——在这个过程中，它将成为我们本月的最佳物品！
Paper was added to the game, alongside sugarcane and bookshelves, early in Minecraft’s history – as part of the sixth Seecret Friday Update in July 2010. To make it, you’ll need sugarcane – put three into a crafting grid and you’ll get three sheets of paper out. You can also sometimes find paper in shipwrecks, strongholds, and chests belonging to village cartographers.
作为2010年7月星期五第六次《秘密更新》的一部分，在《我的世界》早期，纸与甘蔗和书架一起被添加到游戏中。要制作它，你需要甘蔗——把三根甘蔗放进工作台，你就会得到三张纸。有时你也可以在沉船、要塞和制图村民的箱子里找到纸。
You can take those three sheets of paper and combine them with a piece of leather to get a book, or you can get eight pieces of paper and surround a compass with them to make a map. Add gunpowder to paper to get a firework rocket – the more gunpowder, the higher it’ll fly before exploding – and throw in a firework star if you want explosion effects.
你可以拿这三张纸，把它们和一块皮革结合在一起，得到一本书，或者你可以拿八张纸，用它们围在指南针周围，做成一张地图。把火药加到纸上就可以得到一个烟花——火药越多，它在爆炸前飞得就越高——如果你想让烟花有爆炸效果，还可以扔一颗烟火之星。
Paper is also a good way to get hold of emeralds. If you find a librarian or a cartographer in a village, there’s a decent chance that they’ll be willing to trade 24 sheets of paper for an emerald. That sounds like a lot of paper, but if you get a sugarcane farm going then you’ll be sorted in no time.
纸也是一个获得绿宝石的很好的方法。如果你在一个村庄里找到一位图书管理员或制图师，他们很有可能愿意用24张纸换一块绿宝石。这听起来像是一大堆纸，但如果你有一个甘蔗农场，那么你很快就会完成。
The reason you need sugarcane to make paper refers to papyrus – a material used to write on by the people of Ancient Egypt, almost six thousand years ago. Papyrus was made by weaving together strips of the papyrus plant, which grows in wetland areas all around the Mediterranean. Papyrus is still used today in some cultures to make baskets, hats, and floor mats.
你需要甘蔗造纸的原因是指纸莎草——大约6000年前，古埃及人民用来写字的材料。纸莎草是由生长在地中海湿地地区的纸莎草植物编织而成的。在今天的一些文化中，纸莎草仍然被用来制作篮子、帽子和地毯。
The type of paper that we tend to use today, though, was invented about two thousand years ago in China – and is made from wood pulp. It was largely made by hand until paper mills were developed in Baghdad around 800AD, though this technology didn’t arrive in Europe for another five hundred years. Even when it did, paper was still very expensive – especially in book-sized quantities.
然而，我们今天倾向于使用的纸，是大约两千年前在中国发明的，由木浆制成。它主要是手工制造的，直到公元800年左右巴格达的造纸厂发展起来，尽管这项技术在500年后才进入欧洲。即便如此，纸张仍然非常昂贵，尤其是书籍大小的纸张。
It wasn’t until the invention of steam-driven paper-making machines in the 19th century that paper began to get cheap enough for anyone to use it. Today, it’s made on enormous machines, some with reels 10 meters wide, that produce two kilometers of paper every minute. You’ll find it everywhere – it’s used in books, it’s used to cover walls in houses, it’s used in packaging, it’s used to make banknotes. It’s so cheap that we even use it to wipe our bottoms when we go to the toilet.
直到19世纪蒸汽驱动造纸机的发明，纸张才开始变得足够便宜，任何人都可以使用。如今，纸张是在巨大的机器上制造的，有些机器的卷轴宽10米，每分钟能生产两公里的纸张。你会发现它无处不在——它被用于书籍，它被用来覆盖房屋的墙壁，它被用于包装，它被用作制造钞票。它太便宜了，我们上厕所时甚至用它擦屁股。
In Minecraft, though, paper-making is still a very manual process. So look after your paper, and it’ll look after you.
