背包盘点:纸
TAKING INVENTORY: PAPER
在《我的世界》的辽阔世界中,有些物品看起来平平无奇,但在探险时的某些情况下,这些物品也会成为你的必需品。让我们以木板举个例子:如果你没有木板,你将无法拥有一个合成台,这也将导致你无法制作许多物品。
In the vast world of Minecraft, even simple items can play an outsized role in your explorations. Just think about how important wood planks are, for example – you wouldn’t have a crafting bench without them, and without a crafting bench you wouldn’t be able to make much.
然而,有一样物品似乎无足轻重,但冒险途中的玩家们仍要使用其来解锁一系列的重要工具 — 它就是纸。没有纸,我们就没有地图、附魔、烟花以及旗帜图案。现在,让我们一同追寻纸的发展足迹,看看纸是如何成为我们的“本月物品”吧。
Another item that seems unimportant but actually unlocks a lot of vital tools for the explorer-on-the-go is paper. Without it, there’d be no maps, enchanting, fireworks, or banner patterns. Let’s follow the paper trail, and find out how – crowning it as our item of the month in the process!
在《我的世界》的早些时候,纸张是和糖、书架一同加入游戏 - 作为2010年7月的第六个神秘周五更新的一部分。
Paper was added to the game, alongside sugarcane and bookshelves, early in Minecraft’s history – as part of the sixth Seecret Friday Update in July 2010. To make it, you’ll need sugarcane – put three into a crafting grid and you’ll get three sheets of paper out. You can also sometimes find paper in shipwrecks, strongholds, and chests belonging to village cartographers.
你可以用3张纸和1张皮革就可以合成1本书,也可以用8张纸配上1个指南针来制作一张地图。你还可以用纸和火药合成1个烟花火箭 - 用的火药越多,其爆裂后,你就飞得越高 - 你也可以根据你的需求,在合成时添加一个烟火之星,来形成你想要的爆裂效果。
You can take those three sheets of paper and combine them with a piece of leather to get a book, or you can get eight pieces of paper and surround a compass with them to make a map. Add gunpowder to paper to get a firework rocket – the more gunpowder, the higher it’ll fly before exploding – and throw in a firework star if you want explosion effects.
想要获取大量绿宝石,用纸交易也是一个不错的选择。在村庄,你可以寻找一位图书管理员或一位制图师,他们会愿意用1个绿宝石换24张纸,这将是个好商机。这听起来貌似需要大量的纸,但在你建完一个甘蔗农场后,缺纸的情况将大有改观。
Paper is also a good way to get hold of emeralds. If you find a librarian or a cartographer in a village, there’s a decent chance that they’ll be willing to trade 24 sheets of paper for an emerald. That sounds like a lot of paper, but if you get a sugarcane farm going then you’ll be sorted in no time.
为何我们需要用甘蔗来制作纸张呢?这得提起一样物品:古埃及的纸莎草纸 —— 大概6000年前,这种纸被古埃及的人们用于书写。纸莎草纸是由一种名为纸莎草的植物编织起来的产物。在中世纪,这种植物一般生长在湿地。如今,在一些文化中,人们仍使用纸莎草,用它来制成篮子、帽子以及地毯。
The reason you need sugarcane to make paper refers to papyrus – a material used to write on by the people of Ancient Egypt, almost six thousand years ago. Papyrus was made by weaving together strips of the papyrus plant, which grows in wetland areas all around the Mediterranean. Papyrus is still used today in some cultures to make baskets, hats, and floor mats.
如今,我们通常使用的纸是2000年前中国人的发明产物 - 并且这种纸张是由木浆制成。一开始,这种纸的制作过程非常依赖于人力,直到公元800年巴格达市的纸厂诞生,这一问题才得以缓解,虽然这项技术远在其500年后都未流传至欧洲。尽管生产得到了改善,纸张依然是价值不菲 - 像一本书那么多张纸的价格更是令人望而却步。
The type of paper that we tend to use today, though, was invented about two thousand years ago in China – and is made from wood pulp. It was largely made by hand until paper mills were developed in Baghdad around 800AD, though this technology didn’t arrive in Europe for another five hundred years. Even when it did, paper was still very expensive – especially in book-sized quantities.
直到19世纪,蒸汽驱动的造纸机被发明出来,纸张的价格才变得更加亲民,家家户户都能买得起。当今,纸是由大量机器所制成的,有些卷筒有足足10米宽,机器每分钟能生产出2千米长的纸。纸张随处不在 - 书是由纸制成的,用于装饰墙面的墙纸也是由纸加工而来的,包装也需要用到纸张,钞票的制作也离不开纸张。纸可是个物美价廉的好物件,你如厕之后,也能用纸擦干净屁股。
It wasn’t until the invention of steam-driven paper-making machines in the 19th century that paper began to get cheap enough for anyone to use it. Today, it’s made on enormous machines, some with reels 10 meters wide, that produce two kilometers of paper every minute. You’ll find it everywhere – it’s used in books, it’s used to cover walls in houses, it’s used in packaging, it’s used to make banknotes. It’s so cheap that we even use it to wipe our bottoms when we go to the toilet.
在《我的世界》中,纸张合成仍主要依赖于人力。好好看好你的纸,纸也会凝视着你。
In Minecraft, though, paper-making is still a very manual process. So look after your paper, and it’ll look after you.
