BLOCK OF THE WEEK: PISTON
本周方块：活塞

A real pushover
推动它！

People who think it's OK to shove other people? The worst . Can't stand 'em. I'd happily shove them all into a big pit full of Creepers, if it wouldn't make me guilty of blatant hypocrisy. Bah!
有人认为随意推搡别人没关系？那可太糟了。我受不了这种人。如果我不会为公然做这样虚伪的事而内疚的话，我倒是很乐意把他们推进塞满苦力怕的大坑里，呸！

Ah but the piston – a block that shoves other blocks – now that I do like!
啊，但如果谈到活塞 —— 一个会推动其他方块的方块，我倒是很喜欢它！

Pistons push blocks, up to twelve of them in a row, when given a redstone signal. Flip the power on and the piston's head will extend outwards one block for a fraction of a second. Any entities in the path of the head will be pushed along with it, including the player, and if there's a slime block in front of the head then they'll be sproinged off instead. SPROINGGG!
当接收到红石信号时，活塞就会推动它前面的至多 12 个方块。打开电源，活塞的头部就会在几分之一秒内向前延伸一格的距离。如果前面有实体的话，它们也会被推走——包括玩家！如果你在活塞头前面放上粘液块，活塞还能将实体弹飞。啪唧！

Then there's the piston's slightly disgusting sibling - the sticky piston. The sticky piston, which is crafted with a slime ball, can push blocks just like a piston can - but when the power is turned off the head will pull any blocks that it's touching back with it. Yuck.
接下来是活塞略显恶心的姊妹  —— 粘性活塞。将活塞与粘液球结合就可以得到它。粘性活塞不仅可以像普通活塞那样将方块推开 —— 当红石信号消失时，它还可以将其接触的方块拉回。好粘！

That's all pretty simple, but the applications are huge. You can use pistons to make automatic farms that get flooded when you flip a switch and carry all the crops down to one handy location for you to pick them up. You can make vast, extravagant doors, or hidden rooms. You can even go all out and build logic gates and clocks, essential components of even more complex creations.
听起来很简单不是吗？但它们的应用范围可广泛得多！有了活塞，你可以建造出只需拨动开关便能将作物冲到合适位置供你捡起的自动农场。还有奢华的大门以及隐藏起来的房间！你甚至可以用它们精心设计逻辑门和时钟，并用这些构建更加复杂的杰作 —— 甚至是电子计算机！

Here's a fun fact - pistons were originally a mod, posted on the Minecraft Forums by a coder called Hippoplatimus. It's true - you'll find the name in the credits under "Additional Programming". That piston code was folded into the regular edition of the game by Jeb, and then released in version Beta 1.7, alongside shears and the ability to obtain wool from sheep without harming it.
很有意思的事实是 —— 活塞其实是源于程序员 Hippoplatimus 发布在 Minecraft 论坛上的一个模组。这是真的！在制作人员名单的"Additional Programming"下，你现在还可以看到这个名字。Jeb 将这个模组的代码并入了游戏的正式版中，并在 Beta 1.7 版本中将其发布，一同发布的还有剪刀剪羊毛的新功能！

Real-world pistons are somewhat unlike the pistons in Minecraft. They're a component of combustion engines, which drive cars and other moving objects. When the fuel in the engine is ignited, the force of the explosion is captured by the piston and used to turn a crankshaft, creating rotation. They're also found in pumps, where they can be used to suck fluids from one place to another. “Man, that piston really sucks . Good job!” is a joke you should make to people who work on engines for a living. I'm sure they'll find it really funny! After they've finished never speaking to you again.
现实中的活塞和 Minecraft 中的并不相同。它们往往作为内燃机的重要组成部分，驱动汽车或是其他物体——比如发电机！当引擎中的燃料被点燃时，其爆燃的推力便会推动活塞，活塞的往复运动进而带动曲轴使其旋转。活塞还被用在泵中，将液体从一个地方吸入，运送到另一个地方。你可以向那些以捣鼓发动机为生的人们开这样的玩笑：“伙计，那个活塞真的很烂。做的好！”我保证他们会觉得这很有意思！然后他们就再也不会与你说话了。（sucks此处为双关，本意为“吮吸”，常用于脏话中，意为“糟透了”）

With some experimentation, you'll find that there are a few blocks that Minecraft pistons can't push. Obsidian and bedrock are too heavy. So are command blocks, and End portals. There are other blocks that can be pushed but not pulled, like terracotta, and yet more that break when they're pushed. The effects differ slightly between versions, so test the component parts of any new machine carefully before you build it, especially if it's using a more unusual block.
多试几次，你就会发现有几种方块时是活塞无法推动的。黑曜石和基岩太重了。命令方块和末地传送门也是如此。还有一些独特的，只能被推出却无法被拉回的方块，比如带釉陶瓦，还有更多的方块推动时就会被破坏掉。不同游戏版本的特性往往略有不同，因此在建造新的红石机器之前，记得仔细测试每一个部件，尤其是当用到一些较为罕见的方块时！

In fact, with two pistons, two blocks of redstone, two slime blocks and a sticky piston it's even possible to make a flying machine. There are some great tutorials on the Minecraft Wiki on how to do it. Send us your most impressive piston-based aircraft to scoops@minecraft.net, and perhaps we'll feature them in the future!
事实上，用两个活塞，两个红石块，两个粘液块和一个粘性活塞，你就可以制造出飞行器(又名活塞虫)！Minecraft Wiki上有一些很棒的教程来帮助你理解。将你的作品发送到 scoops@minecraft.net，也许我们将来会介绍它们也说不准呢？

那么，用活塞飞行器能不能探测边界呢？
我还曾经把一本有12种语言的“你好”的书放在探测器上

如果当时知道玩家会把活塞配末地烛的话，官方会怎么想
