TAKING INVENTORY: LANTERN
背包盘点：灯笼
In the spotlight
聚光灯下
The quickest way to tell the difference between a Minecraft player who cares about the aesthetics of their builds and one who doesn’t is the quality of the lighting in their home.
判断一个MC玩家是否关注房屋的美观程度，最快的方式莫过于观察其房屋的光源质量。
Are their walls adorned with torches? *Gasp*, are there even torches on the floor? Turn around, walk out of that house, and vow to never return until they’ve replaced their torches with something more thoughtful and elegant. If they’re short of ideas, then may I humbly suggest our item of the week – the lantern?
他们的墙上装饰着火把？【1】*嚇*，甚至有火把在地上？回头吧，走出那个房子，然后宣布，除非他们把火把换成别的高雅而有品味的东西，不然永远都不会再回来看一眼。如果他们没什么好点子的话，那么能否容许我献丑，奉上我们的每周物品--灯笼？
Lanterns were first mentioned as a possibility in October 2010. The original plan was that torches would go out after a while and need to be re-lit, but lanterns would be permanent. This wasn’t popular with the players, however, so they were shelved and other kinds of lighting – redstone lamps and glowstone – were added instead.
灯笼于2010年10月首次作为一种可能的计划被提出。原本的计划是让火把在一段时间后自行熄灭并需要重新点燃，但灯笼是不会灭的。可是，玩家们对此并不感冒，所以灯笼计划搁浅，其他的照明物--红石灯和荧石--成为了代替品并加入游戏。
Fast forward to 2018, and lanterns popped up again in a tweet from LadyAgnes. They were subsequently added to the game in version 1.14 – the Village & Pillage update, which also included bamboo, foxes, berries, and pillagers.
时间来到2018年，灯笼在一篇来自LadyAgnes的推文中再次焕发生机。随后它们被加入至1.14版本--村庄与掠夺更新，一同加入的还有竹子、狐狸、浆果和灾厄村民。
As you might guess, lanterns emit light. A light level of 15, to be precise, which is slightly more than torches and on par with glowstone, campfires, redstone lamps, and jack-o-lanterns.
没错，灯笼会发光。确切来说，（灯笼）是15的光照强度指数，较火把略高，与荧石、营火、红石灯和南瓜灯同级。
They’re pretty easy to make – just surround a torch with iron nuggets. They also generate in snowy tundra villages, and in bastion remnants in the Nether.
它们制作起来很容易--只需要放个火把然后围上一圈铁粒即可。它们也会生成至雪原村庄中，亦或是下界的堡垒遗迹中。
Speaking of the Nether update, it actually introduced a new kind of lantern – the soul lantern, made in the same way as a regular lantern but with a soul torch.
说起下界更新，倒是新加入了一种全新的灯笼--灵魂灯笼，制作方式与常规灯笼相同，但是需要一个灵魂火把。
Not only are soul lanterns a different colour to regular lanterns (blue instead of orange), but they also give off slightly less light – just 10, compared to 15 for a regular lantern. That might not sound so good – but if you like living in a snowy biome then you’ll love them.
灵魂灯笼有着不同于常规灯笼的颜色（不是橙色而是蓝色），同时其光强指数也比常规的低--只有10，而常规灯笼是15。这听起来可能不太好--但如果你喜欢住在降雪的生物群系【2】里，那你绝对会喜欢它们的。
Why? Well, a light level of 10 is enough to prevent monsters from spawning but not quite enough to melt snow and ice. You’ll be able to light your ice fortress or igloo palace with no issues. You’re welcome, Ice King.
为什么呢？是这样，10的光强指数足以避免怪物的生成，但又不至于融化冰雪。用来点亮你的寒冰城堡和冰屋宫殿毫无压力。冰王【3】陛下，您老不谢。

In the real world, lanterns have been used by humans since at least Roman times. Most of them were basically a candle in a box, but there are a few early examples that consisted of oil with a burning wick.
现实世界中，灯笼的使用最早可追溯至古罗马时期。它们基本上都是放了蜡烛的盒子，但也有一部分是由油和灯芯组成。
From the Middle Ages, cities would hire watchmen to carry lanterns through the streets at night to prevent crime. But it wasn’t until the 1500s or so that cities began to light public spaces with lanterns. This dramatically changed the character of those cities, allowing for some semblance of public life to continue during the evenings.
从中世纪开始，城镇会雇佣守夜人，负责提灯夜行并干预犯罪。直到16世纪后，城镇才开始在公共场所点亮灯笼。这一举措使得这些城镇发生了翻天覆地的变化，允许一部分社交活动在夜晚持续进行。
It may even have changed how we sleep. Historian A. Roger Ekirch believes that in the past, adults typically slept in two chunks – waking up for an hour or so in the middle of the night to pray, reflect, and interpret dreams, and in some cases to even visit neighbours. Lanterns allowed us to stay up later, turning this period of wakefulness into a full night’s sleep instead.
这种举措甚至改变了我们的睡眠方式。史学家 A·罗杰·埃克希（A. Roger Ekirch）认为，过去的成人睡眠时段分为两个区间--他们会在午夜起床大概一个小时，以进行祈祷、反思和解梦，一些人甚至会拜访邻居【4】。灯笼使得我们熬夜更久，将这一时段压缩掉，从而转变为整晚的完整睡眠。
So if you ever find yourself waking up in the middle of the night, then don’t worry – it may actually be quite natural. But I don’t recommend that you go visit your neighbours – that kind of thing is frowned upon these days.
所以说，如果你半夜惊醒，不要担心--这是正常现象。但我可不建议你去拜访你的邻居--这种事情很惹人烦的。

翻译的时候突然就想起来，苏东坡老先生不也是大半夜不睡起来串门么。。。。。。
嗯，很不错啊
不过这个感觉还是火把或者南瓜灯比较好用
1.14好像撸不碎
