盘点：药水

呼噜咕噜，辛苦麻烦

Psst, hey you. What if I told you you could breathe underwater? Or see in the dark? Or turn invisible? Or walk unharmed through fire?
嘿，如果我告诉你可以在水下呼吸、在黑暗中看清楚、变成隐身状态或无伤通过火海，你会有什么反应？

You wouldn’t believe me, right? Well, it just so happens that a little sip of our item of the week can allow you to do all those things and more.
你不会相信我的，对吧？好吧，碰巧的是，喝下我们“本周的物品”可以让你做所有这些事情，甚至更多。

Not in real life, silly – in Minecraft. It’s the potion, and quite honestly it tastes disgusting. Or so I've heard.
别傻了，不是在现实生活中——是在《我的世界》中。这是药水，老实说，它尝起来很恶心，或者我听说了。

Potions were first added to Minecraft in the Adventure Update, better known as Minecraft 1.0.0.
药水在“冒险更新”中添加到《我的世界》，更广为人知的是我的世界1.0.0版本。

Initially, they were brewed in cauldrons, through a complicated system that involved tossing in ingredients one at a time.
最初，它们是通过一个复杂的系统在炼药锅中酿造的，该炼药系统一次仅混合一个成分。

But it was pretty confusing, so the brewing stand was implemented instead.
但这非常令人困惑，因此改用了酿造台。

There are several ways to obtain potions. Brewing is the most obvious – by combining various ingredients with a water bottle in the aforementioned brewing stand.
有几种方法可以获得药水。酿造是最常见的——通过在上面的酿造台中将各种成分与水瓶相结合。

But you can also find them in chests, trade them with wandering traders or piglins, or hunt down witches – which drop them on death.
但你也可以在箱子里找到它们，与流浪商人或猪灵交易，或者抓捕女巫——女巫被杀死的时候会掉落药水。

There are lots of potions available – regeneration, healing, swiftness, fire resistance, strength, leaping, water breathing, invisibility, slow falling, turtle master and luck all have positive effects on the living.
有很多药水可供选择——生命恢复、瞬间治疗、速度、抗火、力量、跳跃、水肺、隐身、缓降、神龟和幸运都是提供正面效果的药水。

But there are also poison, weakness, slowness, harming, and decay potions that harm their drinker.
但也有中毒、虚弱、缓慢、瞬间伤害和衰变药水会伤害他们的饮用者。

To use a potion, hold it in your hand and hit use. It’s that easy.
想使用药水，将其拿在手中，然后长按使用键。就那么简单。

But wait – don’t drink it yet. Instead, try surrounding a lingering potion with arrows in a crafting grid to get tipped arrows, which bestow the effect you choose on whatever you hit with that arrow.
但是等等——先别喝。尝试在工作台中用箭包围滞留药水，以获得药箭，这将赋予被该箭击中的生物选择的效果。

Finally, in Bedrock Edition you can also use a potion on a cauldron to fill it up.
最后，在基岩版中，还可以使用炼药锅中填充药水来制作它。

A cauldron will hold up to three identical potions, allowing you to save them for later.
一个炼药锅最多可以容纳三瓶相同的药水，允许保存它们以备在以后使用。

In the real world, the word “potion” comes from the Latin word “potus”, which refers to a drink, or drinking, and people have been making and selling potions for millennia.
在现实世界中，“potion”一词来自拉丁语单词“potus”，指的是饮料，数千年来，人们一直在制作和销售药水。

Common potion types include love potions (which supposedly cause the drinker to fall in love), restorative potions (which cure various ailments), immortality potions (which grant eternal youth), sleeping potions (which send the drinker to sleep), hallucinogenic potions (which induce visions), and poisons (which harm the drinker).
常见的药水类型包括爱情药水（据说会导致饮酒者坠入爱河？）、恢复性药水（治疗各种疾病）、不朽药水（据说赋予永恒的青春？）、安眠药水（将饮用者送入睡）、致幻药水（诱导幻觉）和毒药水（伤害饮用者）。

Most of these potions don’t work, or rely on the placebo effect, but a small handful does and we generally call those “medicine”.
这些药水大多不起作用，或依赖于安慰剂效应，但少数药剂起作用，我们通常称之为“药物”。

If you’ve ever taken cough syrup for a chest infection, or sipped a cup of chamomile tea to help you calm down or sleep, then you’ve drunk a potion.
如果你曾经服用过止咳糖浆来治疗咳嗽，或者喝了一杯洋甘菊茶来帮助你冷静下来或睡觉，那么你已经喝了药水。

Luckily, Minecraft’s potions are a lot more effective. No placebo effect here. So get brewing, and enjoy better living through chemistry.
幸运的是，《我的世界》的药水要有效得多，没有安慰剂效应，因此，开始酿造，享受更好的“化学生活”。
