当你探索洞穴和峭壁第二部分更新后的景色时，你可能想去找到一个新加入的繁茂的洞穴群落。在地面上，通常我们不可能知道下面发生了什么事情，但这种植物就已表明了下面有一个超棒而葱绿的洞穴生物群落。这也恰好是我们本周的盘点物品 - 杜鹃花。
As you’re exploring the new landscapes of part two of the Caves and Cliffs update, you might want to locate one of the fancy new lush caves biomes. From the surface, it’s usually impossible to tell what’s going on underneath. But there’s a secret giveaway that indicates the presence of one of these fantastic, verdant cave biomes below. And it also happens to be our item of the week. It’s the azalea.
在2021年6月发布的洞穴和峭壁更新的第一部分中，杜鹃花被添加到我的世界中。它们是一朵花和一棵树苗的新奇混合体。它们看起来很漂亮，同时也为蜜蜂提供花粉。而且你还可以让它们可以长成一棵更高的树。
Azalea were added to Minecraft in the first part of the Caves & Cliffs update, in June 2021. They’re a curious mix between a flower and a sapling, in that they look pretty and provide pollen for bees while still being able to be grown into a much larger tree if you desire.

但首先让我们来找到他们！杜鹃树只生长在繁茂的洞穴生物群落中的苔藓块上，但在这些生物群落之上，你会发现已开花的杜鹃花树。先到处游荡直到你看到杜鹃树，然后开始挖掘 - 这样就很容易找到它们。
But let’s start at the beginning – finding them. Azalea bushes grow exclusively on top of moss blocks in the lush caves biome – but on the surface above those biomes you’ll find fully-grown azalea trees. This makes it very easy to locate one – just wander around until you see azalea trees, and start digging.
但请容我提醒一下，当你阅读这篇文章的时候，洞穴和峭壁更新的第二部分还没有正式发布。这是个事实，也是个不太棒的消息。所以这意味着，如果您现在想体验一下，您需要使用自定义世界菜单中的“自选世界类型”选项。我们正在尽我们所能去完成所有的更新内容，所以请您耐心等待！
But hold on a second, you say. The second part of the Caves and Cliffs update isn’t out when you’re reading this. That is true, and unfortunate. It means that if you want to experience one, for the time being you’ll need to use the “buffet” option in the custom world menu. We’re working as hard as we can to get the full update out, so sit tight for now.
假设你在未来，你有一片杜鹃花丛。你会拿它做什么呢？它们在那里主要是为了看起来好看或生长成杜鹃花树。它们是唯一不会自动生长的树苗，但是如果你用骨粉催熟它，它就会瞬间长成一颗树。灌木丛也允许蜜蜂采集花粉来制造蜂蜜。如果你出于某种原因讨厌杜鹃花丛，或者有太多的杜鹃花丛而无法接受，那么你可以把它们当做肥料或把它们丢进熔炉当燃料。
Okay, let’s say you’re in the future and you’ve got yourself an Azalea bush. What do you do with it? Well, they’re mostly there to look nice or to be grown into azalea trees. They’re the only sapling that won’t grow automatically – but if you bonemeal them then they’ll spring right up into a tree. The bushes also allow bees to harvest pollen to make honey. And if for some reason you hate azalea bushes, or end up with too many of them, then you can compost them or burn them in a furnace for fuel.

在现实世界中，杜鹃花是杜鹃花属植物的一种，它们在春天开花。它们原产于亚洲、欧洲和北美，喜欢生活在树木下的酸性土壤中。它们的生长相当缓慢，所以看到有几十年历史的杜鹃花丛也并不罕见。
In the real world, Azaleas are a type of Rhododendron which bloom in the springtime. They’re native to Asia, Europe and North America, and like living under trees in acidic soil. They also grow rather slowly. It’s not uncommon to see azaleas bushes that are decades old.
杜鹃花对人类有很强的毒性，所以它们并不用于烹饪或医疗。但它们的美已经表明: 它们作为一种观赏植物且已经流行了几个世纪。人类非常喜欢它们，但实际上，我们有选择地培育了超过一万种不同的品种。
Azaleas are highly toxic to humans, so they’re not used in cuisine or medicine. But their beautiful flowers mean that they’ve been popular as ornamental plants for centuries. Humans are so fond of them, in fact, that we’ve selectively bred more than 10,000 different varieties.
在中国文化中，杜鹃花象征着思乡之情，同时也是中国最伟大的诗人之一杜甫的诗词中的一大特色。它在日本、韩国和香港也特别受欢迎，许多美国的城市也会在春季庆祝杜鹃花的盛开。所以，下次你在“我的世界”中遇到一块杜鹃花丛时，准备好你的铲子，开始采集它们吧。你可能会发现一些很特别的东西。
In Chinese culture, the azalea is known as the “thinking of home bush”, and features heavily in the work of Du Fu, one of China’s greatest poets. It’s also particularly popular in Japan, Korea and Hong Kong, and many US cities also celebrate the blooming of the azalea during the spring.
So next time you come across a grove of azalea on the surface in Minecraft, ready your shovel and start digging. You might uncover something rather special.
