【翻译】[minecraft.net|Deep Dive]环绕群系：沙滩

FoldedBaton3698

It’s a bit chilly in Sweden around this time of year. Snow is falling, the skies are dark, and the mind wanders to warmer times and places. Like our biome of the week ⁠–⁠ the beach.
每年这个时候，瑞典有点冷。下雪了，天空很黑，头脑徘徊在温暖的时代和地点。就像我们本周的生物群落一样，在沙滩/海滩上。
Beaches were added to Minecraft very early on ⁠–⁠ in May 2009, as part of the snappily-named 0.0.14a update. It’s the same update that added sand, gravel, gold, iron and coal ore, trees, logs, leaves and clouds. These beaches generated near sea level, and were surprisingly large. So large, in fact, that they were removed again in mid-2011 in the Adventure Update, and didn’t appear again until Java Edition 1.1 landed in 2012.
2009年5月，作为命名为0.0.14a更新的一部分，海滩在2009年5月很早就被添加到《我的世界》中。添加了沙子、沙砾、黄金、铁和煤矿石、树木、原木、树叶和云的更新。这些海滩在海平面附近产生，而且出人意料地大。事实上，它们是如此之大，以至于它们于2011年年中在冒险更新中再次被删除，直到2012年Java Edition 1.1才再次出现。
We’ve tweaked beaches a bit in the latest version of world generation, so it’s probably worth mentioning some changes. First, they’re a little wider again than they previously were. More space for sunbathing, which is nice. But to compensate, they no longer generate in some areas ⁠–⁠ they’re more common in flatter areas than hillier ones. Stony beaches are also a little less common than previously.
在最新版本的一代中，我们对海滩进行了一些调整，因此可能值得一提一些变化。首先，它们又比以前宽了一点。有更多的日光浴空间，这很好。但为了补偿，它们在某些地区不再产生，它们在平坦的地区比丘陵地区更常见。石岸也比以前少一点。
So what should you expect to find on a beach? Well, sand is probably the obvious one. You’ll also find gravel on some beaches, as well as sandstone, dirt, and clay. Not much lives on beaches, though you will find sugarcane and turtles ⁠–⁠ as well as any other creatures that spawn nearby and wander onto the beach.
那么，你应该在海滩上找到什么呢？嗯，沙子可能是显而易见的。您还可以在一些海滩上找到沙砾，以及砂岩、泥土和粘土。海滩上的生物不多，尽管你会发现甘蔗和海龟，以及附近生成和漫步在海滩上的任何其他生物。
Keep an eye out as you’re exploring, though, because it’s very possible to find buried treasure and shipwrecks which have been washed up on beaches. These often contain goodies that make them well worth seeking out.
不过，在探索时要留意，因为很有可能找到被冲到海滩上的埋藏的宝藏和沉船。这些通常包含好东西，使其非常值得寻找。
In the real world, beaches are a common sight in many coastal regions ⁠–⁠ occupying about a third of global coastlines. They’re often made up of sand ⁠–⁠ but have you ever wondered what sand is? The answer is that it’s very different in different places ⁠–⁠ sometimes it’s rock, sometimes it’s ground-up shells, sometimes it’s even made of coralline algae.
在现实世界中，海滩是许多沿海地区的常见景点，占据了全球海岸线的三分之一左右。它们通常由沙子组成，但你有没有想过什么是沙子？答案是，它在不同的地方非常不同，有时是岩石，有时是磨碎的贝壳，有时甚至由珊瑚藻组成。
Here’s another cool thing about beaches ⁠–⁠ they’re constantly in motion. A single grain of sand gets moved gradually down the beach by waves and occasionally a storm will sweep it a long way. That means they need to be constantly replenished ⁠–⁠ from crumbling cliffs nearby, for example ⁠–⁠ and if you stop those cliffs crumbling then there’s a good chance that the beach will disappear too.
这是关于海滩的另一件很酷的事情——它们一直在运动。一粒沙子被海浪逐渐沿着海滩移动，偶尔暴风雨会把它扫得很广。这意味着它们需要不断从附近摇摇欲坠的悬崖中生成，例如，如果你阻止这些悬崖摇摇欲坠，那么海滩也很有可能消失。(石头经过风化会变成沙子)
Unfortunately, the natural forces that shape our beaches are getting more extreme due to climate change, and some researchers think that as much as 50% of the Earth’s sandy beaches will disappear by 2100 due to climate-change driven sea level rise. Best get out to your local beach while you still can. But maybe wait until summer rolls around again.
不幸的是，由于气候变化，塑造我们海滩的自然力量变得越来越极端，一些研究人员认为，由于气候变化导致的海平面上升，到2100年，地球上多达50%的沙滩将消失。最好趁你还能去的时候去你当地的海滩。但也许要等到夏天。
