Down where it’s wetter

潜入深海

A life on the ocean wave is an intriguing survival experience. It’s not too tricky to turn an abandoned shipwreck into a home, and from there you can strike out to islands and distant shores to collect resources and bring them back.

生命在大海中漂泊是很有趣的经历。把让无数船只遇难的海洋变成你的家，并不是一件特别难办的事，你还能由此去小岛上收集物资。

There are plenty of benefits to this approach, in fact. A home surrounded by water is pretty safe from zombies, skeletons, spiders and creepers (though watch out for drowned). Fishing means that food is very easy to acquire. And the sunsets are really special.

事实上这样的选择会有一系列的好处：房子临水可以有效地对抗僵尸、骷髅、蜘蛛、苦力怕（除了得担心被淹死），食物也可以通过钓鱼轻松获取。同时你还会欣赏到美丽的日落。

But just as there are many different land biomes, there are also lots of different ocean biomes – and picking one to set up home in is no easy task. Today, I’ll be making the case for the tropics.

就像有许多不同的山地类型，海洋也同样的丰富多彩，选择在哪一种海洋旁安家并非是易事。接下来我会介绍一些关于热带海洋的知识。

Warm oceans are a very pleasant place to swim. Unlike the deep cold ocean, where the water is choked by dense forests of kelp, the warm ocean is easy to navigate and the warmth supports a far greater diversity of life

温暖的海洋是个游泳的好去处。不同于冰冷的深海有着密集到令人窒息的海带，暖水海洋不容易迷失方向也更容易探索新的物种。

The first thing you’ll likely notice is the sandy floor, dotted with seagrass . In and around it, you’ll find sea pickles – colonies of small animals that live on the ocean floor and emit light. Pickles don’t grow or spread naturally, but if you give them a little bonemeal then they can be farmed quite effectively – making them a decent source of light, compost and lime dye.

你大概会注意到沙子铺成的海床和带着斑点的海带。在那周围你还可以看到海泡菜——一群在海床周围发着微光的小生物。海泡菜不会自然生长或者扩散，但是如果你给他们一点骨粉他们就会蔓延开来，并且有着不错的发光性能、还能增加堆肥等级、或者用于合成颜料。

If you’re lucky, you’ll also come across a coral reef – which you’ll recognise by its bright colours and plentiful coral. Reefs grow on top of the seabed, making the ocean shallower, and they’re made up of coral blocks as well as coral fans and yet more seagrass and sea pickles.

如果你足够幸运的话你会遇到一片珊瑚礁——色彩斑斓且光泽溢目。由瓦片状的珊瑚和一些水草、海泡菜组成的珊瑚礁长在海床上，它们让海洋深度变浅。


You’ll also find lots of animals supported by the plentiful plant-life in warm oceans. Tropical fish are all over the place, coming in thousands of combinations of colours and patterns. There are pufferfish, which I’d advise you to steer clear of, and then there are dolphins, which live in groups and love to play with boats. Splash around near them, and you might even learn a few tricks – giving you the ability to swim faster for a limited time.

你也会发现不少被这片热带海洋养育的生物。各种不同颜色的热带鱼将会组成形形**的小群体，喜欢和你小船大闹的海豚也会在这里群居，还有河豚——但是我建议与之保持好距离。闪烁标语会给你一些提示：教会你如何在一定的时间内游的更远。

In the real world, tropical oceans – and particular the coral reefs found there – are one of the richest ecosystems on our planet. Reefs take up only half a percent of the world’s ocean floor, but they support an estimated 90% of all marine life. Without coral reefs, we’d be in trouble.

现实世界中，热带海洋里的珊瑚礁是地球上最珍贵的生态系统之一。全世界的海床上只有0.5%生长着珊瑚礁，但它却养育了90%的海洋生物。没有五彩缤纷的珊瑚礁，我们的海洋将会毫无生机。

And that’s bad news, because bad fishing practices, agricultural chemicals, pressure from tourists and coastal development, and rising ocean temperatures due to climate change are damaging reefs around the world. Without changes in the way we live, they’ll disappear – and as wonderful as Minecraft’s coral reefs are (and they’re pretty great, I have to say), they’re no substitute for the real thing.

坏消息是，过度的捕鱼、化学农药、沿海旅游的进一步发展以及全球气温的升高已经对全世界范围的珊瑚礁带来了巨大的破坏。再不采取行动珊瑚礁将会彻底消失——珊瑚礁将会只存在于Minecraft中（不过不得不说Minecraft中做得真的很棒）。
