DEEP DIVESTAKING INVENTORY: SEA PICKLE
背包盘点：海泡菜
Shining in the darkest night!
在最黑的暗夜中也要闪闪发光！
In Minecraft’s warm oceans you’ll find coral reefs – massive underwater ecosystems full of tropical fish. But fish aren’t the only creatures bobbing along with the underwater currents. You’ll also discover small, light-emitting creatures called “sea pickles”, which are our item of the month.
在Minecraft的暖水海洋中，你有时会发现珊瑚礁——一种满是热带鱼的，五彩斑斓的大型水下生物群落。但在这片生物群落的温暖洋流中“游动”的只有鱼吗？当然不是！你还会在这里发现一种发着光的小生物——海泡菜！它们也正是我们的本月物品。
Sea pickles look more like plants, because they don’t move around, but I can assure you that they’re definitely an animal. They come in colonies of up to four, and make their home on top of coral blocks where they can filter the seawater for tiny creatures to eat.
和动物相比，海泡菜看上去恐怕更像植物，毕竟它们并不能真的在水下游来游去，但放心，我向你保证，它们是真正的生物而非水下火把，它们最多可以以4个组成一个小群落，并在珊瑚礁的顶部安家，从温暖的海水中过滤出微生物来进食。
As you might expect, sea pickles appeared in the oceans of the Overworld as part of the Update Aquatic in July 2018. They’ve not changed too much since, except that in the Village & Pillage update they became compostable.
正如你所想的那样，海泡菜是在2018年7月发布的水域更新中被加入游戏的。事实上，直到村庄与掠夺更新——使海泡菜变得可堆肥——之前，它们并没有多少改动。
It’s easy to acquire sea pickles. Find a coral reef and go diving. You’ll immediately find them on the coral blocks that make up the seafloor, in groups of one to four. If you don’t have a coral reef nearby, then you can also buy them sometimes from a wandering trader. Using bonemeal on a set of sea pickles will increase the colony size, and will also spread the pickles to other nearby coral blocks. So that’s an option if you want to acquire them in bulk.
获取海泡菜容易得很。你只需要找到一片珊瑚礁（恐怕是最难的部分），深吸一口气潜入水下，立刻就会在海底的珊瑚礁上看到这些闪闪发光的小生物，从1个到4个不等。如果你很不幸，跑了很远很远都没有见到珊瑚礁，你有时也可以向流浪商人购买它们——真的有人会买吗？对生长在水下的海泡菜使用骨粉会增加海泡菜的数目，也会让它们向附近的珊瑚方块上扩散，如果你想要获得大量的海泡菜，这是一个好主意。
When placed underwater, pickles will generate light – and a colony of more pickles will produce more light. They can also be composted for a good chance of raising the compost level, and smelted into lime dye.
当被放置在水下时，海泡菜会发出微光——群落越大，发出的光也越强。它们也可以高效率地填满堆肥桶——总比小麦种子要好得多！如果在熔炉中熔炼它们，你还可以得到黄绿色染料。
Sea pickles in Minecraft are modeled after a strange collection of real-world species called "pyrosomes". These creatures don’t sit on the seafloor, instead they float around with the currents in upper layers of warm seas. Each creature is only a few millimetres in size, but they live in cylinder-shaped colonies of hundreds to thousands of individuals.
事实上，Minecraft中的海泡菜是以现实世界中的一类奇怪的物种——磷海鞘——为原型的，与游戏中不同的是，这些小生灵并不是固定在海底的，它们会随着水流，在暖洋上层漂来漂去。尽管每个个体只有几毫米大小，但它们事实上会以成百上千个个体组成圆筒形的群落，并生活在其中。
These colonies are bioluminescent, flashing a blue-green light that can be seen many metres away. Occasionally sailors on a dark night report seeing calm seas containing hundreds of colonies, flashing away. Scientist Thomas Huxley wrote in 1849:
迷人的是，这些群落是具有生物发光性的——几米之外便可以看到它们发出的蓝绿色荧光。偶尔，在暗夜中航行的水手会看到平静的海面下，数以百计的小光点一闪而逝，这便是它们。科学家Thomas Huxley在1849年写道:
“I have just watched the moon set in all her glory, and looked at those lesser moons, the beautiful Pyrosoma, shining like white-hot cylinders in the water.”
我正看见明月在她们的光辉中落下海面，看那些小小的月亮啊，美丽的磷海鞘们，在水中像白热的圆柱体一样闪闪发光。
So next time you’re exploring Minecraft’s oceans at night, keep an eye out for colonies of sea pickles. They’re sure to light up your life!
所以下次当你在暗夜中探索海洋时，留意下那些发光的海泡菜们吧，它们一定会照亮你的生活！
