Wow, Minecraft has a lot of different bits of armour, doesn’t it? In other games you just have one thing called “Armour” but in Minecraft there are helmets, leggings, boots, shields, and my favourite of all–turtle shells . Thank heavens that horse armour is a bit simpler. But there’s one key piece of player armour that we haven’t covered yet – and it’s finally time. Introducing our item of the week–the chestplate.
哇哦,Minecraft中有很多种不同的胸甲,不是吗?在其他的游戏中可能只有一类叫做“ 护甲 ” 的物品,但是在Minecraft中护甲被分为了头盔,护腿,靴子,盾牌,还有我最喜欢的–海龟壳。谢天谢地的是马铠的分类相对简单一些。但是有一种关键的玩家使用的盔甲我们还没有提到 – 它将作为压轴登场。现在来隆重介绍我们的本周物品 - 胸甲。
Like most of the other bits of armour that you can make, the chestplate was added very early in the game’s lifespan – in February 2010, before we started giving updates clever names like “The Update Aquatic” or “The Update That Changed The World”. This update was called “Java Edition Indev 20100212-1”. Glad we got better at that. This update, incidentally, also added the Sun and the Moon to Minecraft – presumably so that people could finally see the fancy armour that other players were wearing and want some of their own.
就像其他你可以制作的盔甲一样,胸甲在游戏历史的早期便被加入了 – 可以追溯到2010年2月,在我们开始抖机灵给更新取名字比如 “水域更新” 或者“ 改变世界的更新” 之前。这次更新被称为“ Java Edition Indev 20100212-1 ”。很开心我们现在在取名方面比那时进步了不少。顺便说一句,这次更新也在Minecraft中添加了太阳和月亮 – 可能是为了让玩家能够看见别人穿的炫酷铠甲来使他们也想得到一套自己的铠甲。
Want some of your own? It’s easy! Grab eight bits of leather, gold or iron ingots, or diamonds, and fill up a 3x3 crafting grid with a gap in the middle at the top to shove your head through. Then just use the resulting chestpiece to put it on. Told you it was easy. If you can’t find any ingredients, you can also sometimes steal a chestplate off a zombie, skeleton, vindicator or pillager, or find one in a chest. Villagers sometimes sell chestplates too.
想要一套属于自己的胸甲?很简单!拿出八个皮革,金锭或者铁锭,再或者钻石,然后用这些材料填满工作台的3x3网格并把顶部的一排的中间一格留空来让你的头能伸过去。之后把成品胸甲穿在身上就行了。告诉过你很简单的。如果你找不到任何这些原料,你可以从僵尸、骷髅、卫道士或者掠夺者身上偷一个胸甲,也可以从尝试从宝箱中找一个出来。村民有时也会出售胸甲。
The point of a chestplate is to protect you from damage. You get three defense points for a leather one, five for gold or chainmail, six for iron, and eight for diamond or netherite. A netherite chestplate also provides 10% resistance to knockback. Defense points stack with those given by other armour items, and reduce the damage you take when something bad happens.
胸甲的作用是保护你免受伤害。你将会从一件皮革胸甲上获得3点护甲值,金胸甲和锁链胸甲是5点,铁胸甲是6点,钻石胸甲和下界合金胸甲是8点。一件下界合金胸甲也可以提供10%的击退抗性。胸甲提供的护甲值可以与其他护甲提供的相叠加,在危险发生时护甲值将可以减少你所受到的伤害。
But every hit that the armour takes will damage it, and different types of armour can take different amounts of damage before being destroyed. Leather has a durability of 80, gold has 112, chainmail and iron are at 240, diamond at 528, and netherite at a whopping 592. If your chestplate is damaged, it can be repaired in an anvil with the same material you used to craft it (and iron for chainmail).
但是护甲每承受一次打击都会受到一点损伤,不同种类的护甲在被摧毁前所能承受的伤害总量是不同的。皮革胸甲有80点耐久值,金胸甲有112点,锁链胸甲和铁胸甲达到了240点,钻石胸甲有528点,而下界合金胸甲有着592点的高额耐久值。如果你的胸甲受到了损坏,你可以在铁砧中使用与合成材料相同的材料来修复它们(锁链胸甲用铁锭修复)。
Finally, we should quickly talk about enchantments. Chestplates can be enchanted with many of the same things that other armour pieces can – protection to boost defense, as well as specific blast, projectile or fire protection – which are all mutually exclusive. Thorns, Mending, Unbreaking are options too. As well as the curses of binding and vanishing if you’re unlucky.
最后,我们应该快速地谈谈附魔。胸甲可以被附上许多与其他护甲相同的属性 – 增强盔甲防御力的保护附魔,或是其它一些特定针对爆炸、弹射物和火焰伤害的保护附魔 – 这些附魔都是相互排斥的。荆棘、经验修补和耐久也是可以考虑的选择。当然如果你不走运的话胸甲也可能会被附上绑定和消失这类诅咒附魔。
In the real world, body armour dates back to before humans started writing things down. The first mention of it that we’ve found in history is in the Stele of the Vultures – a monument from about 2500BC, which depicts battle scenes with soldiers wearing armour.
在现实世界中,躯干护甲的历史可以追溯到人类开始使用文字之前。我们发现历史上对它们最早的记载是在秃鹫碑上 – 那是一座大约建成于公元前2500年的纪念碑,描绘了士兵们身穿盔甲战斗的场景。
Armour became more important in battle as weapons technology improved, all the way up to the Middle Ages when Medieval and Renaissance knights would ride into battle clad in full plate armour, atop their armoured horses. But eventually, guns were invented and no armour could fully protect the user, so most soldiers began to value mobility over protection, wearing less armour so they could get out of a bad situation faster.
随着武器技术的进步,盔甲在战斗中的地位变得越来越重要,直到中世纪和文艺复兴时期的骑士们仍然穿着全套板甲,骑在他们披挂了马铠的马上。但最终,枪支的发明使得再没有盔甲能完整地保护使用者,因此大多数士兵开始重视机动性而不是防御力,通过减少盔甲的穿戴来帮助他们快速离开险境。
Today, chestplates are still worn in some circumstances – sometimes for merely ceremonial reasons, where the chestplate is valued for its appearance over its protection. But modern bulletproof vests are also worn by soldiers, police officers and security guards. So chestplates are very much still in fashion among those who value a little extra safety in a dangerous situation.
今天,胸甲在有些情况下仍然会被穿戴 – 有时仅仅是出于仪式需要,这时胸甲的美观作用就大于了保护作用。但是现代的防弹背心仍然在被士兵、警察和保安们使用。所以胸甲在那些在危险环境下需要额外安全保护的人群中仍然很流行。
In Minecraft, players are often in a dangerous situation. So we recommend you wear the best chestplate you can obtain at all times. Better safe than sorry, right?
在Minecraft中,玩家便经常处于危险的境地。所以我们建议你随时装备好自己最好的胸甲。提前做好安全保护比事后后悔更重要,不是吗?
