DEEP DIVES AROUND THE BLOCK: NETHER WASTES 群系漫游:下界荒地 Nether a waste!
下界荒地真是荒废!
When the Nether was first added to Minecraft, way back in the ancient era of October 2010, it was a pretty terrifying place. There were zombie pigmen, ghasts, glowstone, and lava – a loooot of lava. Later on, we discovered the Nether was home to giant, ancient fortresses stuffed with wither skeletons and blazes, too. Those devilish developers just had to make it even more hostile!
早在2010年10月,当下界首次被添加到我的世界时,那是一个非常可怕的地方。有僵尸猪人、恶魂、萤石和熔岩——亿堆熔岩。后来,我们发现下界也是巨大的下界要塞的所在地,里面全是凋零骷髅和烈焰人。那些恶魔般的开发者不得不让它更加敌对!
In the Nether Update in 2020, however, everything changed. It became possible to visit the Nether’s basalt deltas, crimson and warped forests, and soul sand valleys. But we needed a name for the original Nether biome. So we decided to call it “Nether wastes”, and it just so happens to be our biome of the week.
然而,在2020年的下界更新,一切都变了,参观玄武岩三角洲、绯红森林、诡异森林以及灵魂沙峡谷成为可能。但我们需要一个原始下界生物群系的名字,因此,我们决定称它为“下界荒地”,它恰好是我们本周的生物群系。
It’s easy to tell the different Nether biomes apart. The deltas are filled with ash and basalt, soul sand valleys burn with blue soul fire, warped forests are filled with cyan mushrooms, while crimson forests are – well – crimson in hue.
区分不同的下界生物群系很容易。玄武岩三角洲充满了灰烬,布满了玄武岩,灵魂沙峡谷燃烧着蓝色的灵魂火,诡异森林是青色的,而绯红森林是深红色的。
Nether wastes are a dark red, like the crimson forests, but that’s where the similarities end. They’re barren places, with seas of lava below and globules of glowstone above.
下界荒地是深红色的,就像绯红森林一样,但也有不同点:这里是贫瘠的地方,下面是岩浆海,上面是萤石。
Ghasts, zombified piglins, magma cubes, and endermen patrol these areas – as well as striders in the lava pools. But it’s still worth visiting for its resources – nether quartz, gold, soul sand, glowstone, ancient debris, and the occasional mushroom.
恶魂、僵尸猪灵、岩浆怪和末影人在这些地方游荡——以及熔岩中的炽足兽。但仍然值得一游,因为它有丰富的资源——下界石英、黄金、灵魂沙、萤石、远古残骸和偶尔出现的蘑菇。
But we can’t recommend setting up home in the Nether wastes. It’s a highly dangerous place to hang out thanks to the huge seas of lava, and the lack of cover making you vulnerable to ghasts. While you’ll sometimes find bastion remnants, nether fortresses, and ruined portals for shelter, they’re few and far between.
但我们不建议在下界荒地中安家。由于巨大的岩浆海,以及缺乏保护使你容易受到可怕的伤害,这是一个非常危险的地方。虽然你有时会发现堡垒遗迹、下界要塞和废弃传送门,但它们很少。
If you do find yourself needing to traverse the Nether wastes, then keep your wits about you, a bow at hand to deal with any ghasts, and a plentiful supply of food to keep your health topped up. You’ve been warned.
如果你发现自己需要穿越下界荒地,那么保持清醒与冷静,手上拿着弓来应对任何可怕的生物,以及充足的食物防止饥饿,请小心行事。
