There are about 40 different things you can eat in Minecraft, and some of them are kinda icky. Spider eyes, poisonous potatoes, suspicious stew, or any of the raw meats all fall into that category for me. But the ickiest of all is our item of the week – rotten flesh.
在我的世界之中，你可以获取40多种不同的食物。其中有一些并不是那么的可人，比如说蜘蛛眼、毒土豆还有谜之炖菜，或者任意一种生肉，对我来说其实都差不多，但是其中最中之最还要属我们的本周主题——腐肉。

Rotten flesh was added to Minecraft in beta version 1.8, which also added melons, steak, ender pearls, experience orbs, and Endermen. This patch resolved a weird situation that had existed previously, where zombies dropped feathers, because feathers were needed to make arrows.
腐肉是在beta版本的1.8加入游戏的，同时还加入了瓜、牛排、末影珍珠、经验球以及末影人。这次更新修正了一个比较奇怪的设定，那就是僵尸会掉落羽毛，因为游戏里需要有羽毛的获取方式以让玩家合成箭。

Chickens were added to drop feathers, and for a while zombies still dropped them too. But eventually zombies were given something else to drop instead. “What should they drop?” the team asked themselves. “Well, what are zombies even made of?” That’s right – rotten flesh.
羽毛则被加入鸡的掉落里面，但是在之后的一段时间里僵尸仍然会掉落羽毛。最后僵尸的掉落表还是更像了。制作团队在想，“那么究竟僵尸会掉落什么呢？嗯，僵尸全是都是啥？”是的——腐肉。

Getting your hands on some of that sweet, sweet rotten flesh usually means defeating zombies. But it’s also dropped by drowned, husks, zombie horses, zombie villagers, Zoglins and Zombified Piglins. Basically everything in the zombie family tree. You can also obtain rotten flesh through fishing, in chests, and from tamed cats that sometimes will bring it to you. Lovely.
当你能亲手感受到这种香甜的腐肉触感时，这往往意味着你击败了僵尸，但是溺尸、尸壳、僵尸马、僵尸村民、皮格林还有僵尸猪人也会掉落。基本上所有的僵尸系生物都会掉落他。你还可以钓鱼钓上来腐肉，或者探险的时候在宝箱里开出腐肉，又或者驯服的猫有时会叼给你腐肉。这小东西真可爱。

If you’re a committed zombie-slayer, then you’ll eventually start building up a backlog of rotten flesh in your chests and might start to wonder what you should do with it.
如果你狂热于手撕僵尸，那么最后你总会攒下一大堆腐肉并发愁该怎么处理。

For starters, you might consider eating it – but this is probably a bad idea. While it does restore two chunks of hunger, it has a large chance of giving you the hunger debuff which causes the hunger bar to drop rapidly. On the other hand, you can only get the hunger debuff once, so if you repeatedly cram rotten flesh into your mouth then you can sometimes outpace the hunger drain. Don’t try this at home, kids.
对于新人来说，你或许会考虑吃它——诞生这并不是什么好点子。虽然它确实能给你填充两鸡腿饱食度，但是与此同时它还有很大的概率会给你带上饥饿的debuff，令饱食度迅速下降。但是从另一方面来说，这饥饿的debuff只会加上一次，所以如果你一次性吃很多腐肉的话，那么还是能够补充一些饱食度的。熊孩子们可别学哦。

Wolves have much stronger stomachs than humans do, so they can eat rotten flesh just fine. In fact they love it so much that it can be used to breed tamed wolves, heal their wounds, and even make baby wolves grow up faster.
狼的肠胃要比人类耐操得多，所以它们能够毫无顾忌的消化腐肉，实际上，狼非常地喜欢吃腐肉，以至于你可以用腐肉来驯服它，并且回复它们的血量，甚至加速狼崽的生长。

Finally, if all else fails then novice-level cleric villagers will sometimes buy 32 rotten flesh for one emerald. It’s not entirely clear why they want it. Maybe they have a pack of wolves to feed? Or maybe something more sinister is going on...
最后，如果其他方法都消耗不掉的话，那么新手级别的牧师村民会用一颗绿宝石来购买32份的腐肉，完全搞不懂他们是想干嘛，也许他们也有狼群要驯服？或者背后有着更大的阴谋？

Alright, let’s talk about rotten flesh in the real world – and specifically zombies. The first and most important thing you need to know is that zombies don’t exist in the real world. The word comes from Haitian folklore that was most likely imported from Western Africa – probably a combination of the Kongo words nzambi (meaning god) and zumbi (meaning an object imbued with supernatural powers).
好了，那么是时候来讲讲现实之中的腐肉了——尤其是关于僵尸的部分。首先也是最重要的一点，现实生活中僵尸并不存在。“Zombie”这个词源自于海地的民俗故事，也有可能是西非流传过来的——大概是刚果语里nzambi（神）与zumbi（超能道具）的结合。

The last decade or two has seen zombies appear in films, movies and games that are portrayed as more human – retaining characteristics of the living and even in some cases becoming friends with humans.
在过去的一二十年里，僵尸作为一个娱乐元素广泛的存在于电影、视频与游戏之中。在这些媒介里僵尸被赋予了更多的人类元素，有些情况下甚至能和人类交好。

Minecraft’s zombies are more the classic kind – a groaning slob who never helps out with the dishes. You probably wouldn’t consider one your friend, would you? But a golden apple later and who knows?
我的世界里的僵尸则更偏向于是经典款——一个不会刷碗只会无病呻吟的懒鬼。你绝不会和这样的存在交朋友的对吧？但是使用一个金苹果之后，谁又知道会怎样呢？
