AROUND THE BLOCK: STONY SHORE
群系：石质海岸
If you’ve spent any time on Minecraft’s glorious coasts, you’ll have noticed that there’s a huge diversity of landscapes. In some places, there are broad sandy beaches – the kind you might relax on with a pina colada. In colder spots, there are gravelly, snowy beaches. But today we’re visiting a third option – the stony shore.
如果你在《我的世界》中的壮观海岸上度过一些时间，你会注意到多种多样的群系。在一些地方，有宽阔的沙滩。在较冷的地方，有沙砾般的雪地海滩。但今天，我们将访问第三个群系——石质海岸。
Stony shores are relatively uncommon, and form in areas where mountainous terrain meets the sea. They’re easily identifiable from the large cliffs they generate, sometimes with water or lava cascading down into the sea below. Be careful wandering around them, because the steep drops can be fatal.
石质海岸相对罕见，形成于高山群系与大海交汇的地区。有时水或熔岩会级联到下面的海里。小心在他们周围徘徊，因为这些水滴可能是致命的。
You’ll find many of the same flora and fauna in this biome as you do on a regular beach, with the exception of turtles, which prefer a more sandy environment. That means bats, glow squid, and – at night – the usual dangers of spiders, zombies, skeletons, creepers, Endermen and witches – maybe even a few of those pesky phantoms if you’ve ignored sleeping again. If you’re exploring at sea level, beware of drowned wandering in from nearby ocean biomes too.
在这个生物群落中，你会发现许多与普通海滩上相同的动植物群，但乌龟除外，它们更喜欢更沙质的环境。这意味着蝙蝠、发光乌贼，以及——在晚上——蜘蛛、僵尸、骷髅、爬虫、缔造者(不闹了是末影人)和女巫的袭击——如果你连续3天没睡眠，甚至可能是其中一些讨厌的幽灵(人话：幻翼)。如果您在海平面上游泳来探索，也要小心溺尸从附近的海洋生物群系中漫步。
But there are resources worth collecting amongst these barren cliffs. As well as plenty of water, sand, sandstone, and dirt, you’ll also be able to collect gravel, clay, and sugar cane. What’s more, in Bedrock edition you’ll sometimes come across a hoard of buried treasure.
但在这些贫瘠的悬崖中，有值得收集的资源。除了大量的水、沙子、砂岩和泥土外，您还可以收集沙砾、粘土和甘蔗。此外，在基岩版版本中，你有时会遇到堆积如山的宝藏。
In the real world, cliffs are a common feature along coastlines – formed over time as rough seas and roaring storms smash against an area of high ground. Most cliffs are close to vertical, but there’s no firm definition of exactly how vertical the slope needs to be before it counts as a cliff.
在现实世界中，悬崖是沿海岸线的一个共同特征——随着时间的推移，随着汹涌的大海和咆哮的风暴撞击高地地区而形成。大多数悬崖接近垂直，但在斜坡被视为悬崖之前，没有确切的垂直程度。
Some famous cliffs on Earth include the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland, Cape Point and Table Mountain in South Africa, Troll Wall in Norway, the Qingshui Cliff in Taiwan, Ra’s Sajir in Oman, and the White Cliffs of Dover in the UK.
地球上一些著名的悬崖包括北爱尔兰的巨人堤道、南非的开普角和桌山、挪威的巨魔墙、台湾的清水悬崖、阿曼的拉斯萨基尔和英国多佛的怀特悬崖。
The world’s tallest sea cliff is the Thumbnail, part of Maujit Qaqarssuasia in southern Greenland, which drops 1,560 meters near-vertically into the ocean. But even taller cliffs can be found below sea level – including the astounding 8,000m drop down inside the Kermadec trench.
世界上最高的海崖是Thumbnail，是格陵兰岛南部的一部分，几乎垂直向下1560米。但甚至可以在海平面以下找到更高的悬崖——包括科玛德克战壕内惊人的8000m……下落？！
All of these pale in comparison, however, to Verona Rupes – 20,000 meter cliff spotted by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1986 on Miranda, a moon of Uranus. Given the low gravity on Miranda, if you jumped off the top then it would take a full 12 minutes to hit the bottom. Plenty of time to consider what a terrible idea that was!
然而，与维罗纳悬崖相比，所有这些都显得苍白——1986年，旅行者2号航天器在天王星的卫星米兰达发现了2万米的悬崖。鉴于米兰达的低重力，如果你从顶部跳下来，那么需要整整12分钟才能到达底部。有足够的时间来考虑那是一个多么糟糕的想法！

游戏中Stony shore是石岸的意思哟
