                盘点：紫水晶碎片
                  Crystal clear!
                    晶莹剔透！
In the first part of the upcoming Caves & Cliffs update, Minecraft is getting a lot of exciting new underground features. One of those is the amethyst geode ⁠– an uncommon geological formation that contains a new resource ⁠– amethyst shards, which just so happens to be our item of the week. What a lucky coincidence!
在即将进行的Caves＆Cliffs更新的第一部分中，Minecraft增加了许多激动人心的新玩法。其中之一就是紫水晶洞穴–一种十分罕见的地形，其中包含一种新物品⁠–紫水晶碎片，这恰好是我们本周的更新项目。
Here’s how they work. Geodes spawn underground and are surrounded by smooth basalt blocks. They’re also always partially submerged in some kind of solid block – usually stone. Dig through that, or find a crack in the surface, and you’ll uncover a layer of calcite ⁠– another new mineral. Inside the calcite layer, you’ll find something rather special ⁠– a mix of amethyst and budding amethyst blocks ⁠– as well as clusters of amethyst that when broken drop amethyst shards.
这是它们的特征:水晶洞穴生成于地下，周围是光滑的玄武岩方块。它们一般陷在其它的方块中-通常是石头。挖开它，或在表面的缝书往下看，您将发现方解石⁠–另一种新矿物。在方解石中，您会找到一些非常特殊的⁠–紫水晶和萌芽的紫水晶块⁠–以及掉落紫水晶碎片的紫水晶簇。  
                        
Here’s a pro tip ⁠– don’t break the amethyst blocks that have an x-pattern marked on the surface of the block ⁠– the “budding” ones. Why not? Because over time they’ll spawn more clusters of shards for you, but they’re destroyed when broken (or moved by a piston) ⁠– even if you use a silk touch tool.
这是一个很重要的提示⁠–不要破坏在方块的表面有x图案的紫水晶块⁠–“水晶萌芽”。为什么呢？因为随着时间的流逝，它们会生长为更多的碎片簇，但是如果它们被破坏（或者被活塞推动），就不会有这种功效了。即使您使用丝绸来触摸它，它也会被破坏。
That’s not a bug, it’s intentional! I’ll let Minecraft developer Cory Scheviak explain:
那不是错误，而是故意的！这里让Minecraft开发人员Cory Schevia为我们的解释：

[tr][td]

"It was important to us that amethyst was not just another ore that you can mine once and take home to grow. By confining the amethyst cluster growth to the budding amethyst block, which you can only find where geodes generate and cannot be moved, we ensured that players have a reason to return to the geode over and over."

- CORY SCHEVIAK

“对我们来说，重要的是，紫水晶不仅仅是您可以一次开采并带回家的另类矿石。将紫水晶簇限制在萌芽的紫水晶块中，您就只能找到水晶矿的生成地点而不能移动，我们要确保玩家一遍又一遍地返回。”

-科里·谢维克（CORY SCHEVIAK）

So when you find a geode, it’s a good idea to remember the location somehow, because you’ll want to come back to it again and again to harvest clusters. How will you mark it? Well, that’s up to you.
因此，当您找到一个水晶洞穴时，最好以某种方式记住该位置，因为您将会一次又一次回到它的位置来收集。您得如何标记呢？好吧，这取决于您。
Once you’ve got a nice collection of shards, you might be wondering what to do with them. At the time of writing, there are three recipes. Four shards in a crafting grid will create a block, one shard and two copper ingots will create a spyglass ⁠– more on that in the coming weeks. And finally, surrounding a piece of regular glass with four amethyst shards will let you make tinted glass ⁠– which blocks light while still allowing you to see through it. Handy for creating mob farms!
一旦收集到了它，您可能会想知道如何处理它们。背包的合成格中，四个碎片可以合成一个水晶块，也可以用一个碎片和两个铜锭一个小望远镜⁠–在接下来的几周中将会添加更多。用紫水晶碎片围住一块普通玻璃，可以制成遮光玻璃⁠–既可以阻挡光线，又可以让您看到。可以用于创建敌对生物农场！

In the real-world, amethyst is also a purplish crystal, and it’s actually a variety of quartz. Its name comes from the Ancient Greek word “methysko”, meaning “drunk”,  and the prefix “a”, meaning “not”. So a literal translation would be “not drunk”. This all stems from the Ancient Greek belief that wearing a necklace made of amethyst, or even in some cases carving a cup from it, would protect the drinker from getting drunk. It doesn’t do that. At all. My theory is that by the time someone realised it didn’t work they were probably so drunk that they couldn’t remember the next day, and the myth persisted.
在现实世界中，紫水晶实际上是一种石英。它的名称来自古希腊语单词“ methysko”（意思是“醉”）和前缀“ a”（意思是“ 不”）。因此，直译是“不会喝醉的”。这一切都源自古希腊人的信仰，戴紫水晶制成的项链，甚至在某些特殊情况下用它雕刻杯子，用来防止喝酒的人喝醉。它并没有那种功效，完全没有。我认为，当有人意识到它完全没用时，他们已经喝醉了，以至于他们在第二天就忘了。
]The purple colour comes from iron impurities and having been irradiated at some point in its long history, and it’s most commonly mined in Siberia, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Uruguay, and the Far East. Just like in Minecraft, it’s sometimes found inside geodes ⁠– which exist in real life too ⁠– though not usually as large as the ones in Minecraft.
(水晶中的)紫色来自铁杂质，在其悠久的历史中曾经很出名过，紫色水晶最常见于西伯利亚，斯里兰卡，巴西，乌拉圭和远东地区。就像在《我的世界》中一样，有时也可以在地下找到它-现实生活中也存在⁠–尽管通常不如《我的世界》中的大。
Now, prepare yourself and get ready to hunt down a geode!
现在，请做好准备，追寻水晶洞穴吧！
