Meet Garry the Gentlesnail .
来看看《Garry the Gentlesnail》这张地图吧。

He’ll take you for the best vegan food in town and let you watch the sunset from the windmill in his shell. An all-round charmer, if you can get past the slime.
这只绅士蜗牛会带着你去吃城里最好的素食，让你坐在他的贝壳上的风车里看着日出日落。他魅力非凡，只要你能容忍那些粘液的话。

This is the work of Eli - or Elisthetic - whose work we’ve featured previously in our Spitfire scoop . Although she’s only been building in Minecraft for about six months, she’s already blown us away with her creations.
这是伊莱的作品——又或者，我们可以叫她伊莉莎雯，我们之前在《Spitfire Scoop》这篇博文里介绍过他的建筑。虽然她只有六个月的我的世界建筑经验，但是她的作品已经足以让我们大吃一惊。

My personal favourite? This guy, of course.
而我最喜欢的作品是哪一个呢？显然是这位绅士啦。

“I am a huge fan of Studio Ghibli,” Eli tells me when I ask about Garry’s origin. “Their creations are always inspiring, basically a feast for eyes and minds.” With this build in particular, Eli was inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle.
“我是吉卜力工作室的忠实粉丝，”当我向她问及这只蜗牛的起源故事的时候，伊莱和我们说道。“他们的作品总是令人兴奋，让我的眼睛和思维都好好的享受了一番。”这点体现在这个建筑之中，伊莱的灵感来自于《哈尔的移动城堡》。

“Howl’s castle is one of my favourite pieces of ‘architecture’. It looks messy, but everything has its own purpose. I wanted to do something similar with Garry; detailed, well thought-out and atmospheric.” She’s always admired that level of intricacy, the attention they pay to seemingly insignificant details. “I wanted my Garry to have that same level of quality,” she tells me.
“哈尔的移动城堡可以说是我最喜欢的‘建筑’之一，外观显得非常混乱，但是其中的每一部分都是有自己的用途的，我想在这只蜗牛身上做到一些类似的事情：细节丰富，深思熟虑，氛围恰当。”她非常钟情于这种级别的复杂程度，以及他们对这些好似微不足道的细节的关注。“我希望我的蜗牛能有着相同级别的质量。”她和我说道。

Eli’s captured this style perfectly. The fundamentals here are that of a snail, but she’s blended the organic into inorganic, adding things to Garry that make him something entirely unlike your garden-variety gastropod. “The idea of combining structures and organics fascinates me and I wanted to create a personal sanctuary like that. Like Howl’s castle, he’s a giant, magical moving ‘house’.
伊莱完美地驾驭了这种风格，这里的本体是一只蜗牛，但是她很好的将有机结构与无机结构相结合，给蜗牛添加了一些附件，使得其于其他普通的腹足生物完全不一样。“有机结构与无机结构相结合的点子让我着迷，我想要建造那样一个个人居所，就像是哈尔的城堡那样，我想建造一个巨大又神奇的移动房屋。”

It’s fair to say that Garry has a sprawling interior. “Garry is basically a Kid’s Next Door base, except it’s on a snail instead of a tree,” explains Eli. Inside Garry, there’s what you’d expect; living room, kitchen, bedroom with en-suite. Then there’s everything else: vaults, farms, gardens, libraries, a reservoir and an elevator, just for starters. “The only thing that I planned for was the elevator,” Eli says, “since the gear above can’t be relocated. Other than that, I just kinda winged it.”
准确的说，蜗牛的内部空间还蛮大的。“加里一般算得上是一个孩子的后院秘密基地，唯一不同的地方它是在蜗牛上而不是在树上，”伊莱解释道。在蜗牛的内部有你所期望的所有东西：客厅，厨房，卧室套间。还有其他所有东西：避难所，农园，花园，书房，水库以及电梯，这些还只是开始。“我所实际计划过的部分只有电梯，”伊莱说道，“因为上方的齿轮机构不能随意变动，而至于其他的，我只是左右开弓而已罢了。”

You might be feeling a little inferior right now, but Eli admits she has a bit of an advantage. “I didn’t have a computer, so I watched Youtube videos for three years before playing the game,” she explains. “It’s interesting to ‘start’ playing a game when you already know everything about it. My first ever house in Minecraft wasn’t a dirt house, hah.”
或许你现在可能会觉得自己与之相比顿时黯然失色了，但是伊莱确实表示她有一点点的优势，“我以前没有电脑，所以在真正入坑之前，我当了三年的视频云玩家，”她解释道，“当你对一个游戏相当了解之后，再去玩这个游戏就相当有趣了，我在游戏里的第一间房子可不是土做的哦，哈哈！”

If you’d like to see more of Eli’s work and take Garry out for some lettuce, you can slime-slide over to their PlanetMinecraft page .
如果你想访问更多伊莱的作品的话，你可以带这只蜗牛去吃点叶子，然后顺着粘液滑到他们的论坛页面。
