DEEP DIVESAround the Block: Deep Cold Ocean
群系漫游：冷水深海
Sleeping with the fishes
与鱼同眠
The surface of the Earth is about 71% water, but Minecraft’s overworld is a bit drier – its surface is about 60% water, mostly in the form of oceans that sit between the game’s diverse landmasses.地球的表面将近有71%被水覆盖。相比之下，Minecraft的世界则稍显干燥——它的地表约有60%是水，主要呈现为夹杂于游戏内不同的陆地之间的淼淼大洋。
Originally, the Minecraft map was surrounded by a single infinite ocean, but when biomes were added oceans became the glue that held them together. They were eventually made into a proper biome of their own, then they became multiple different biomes, and now – following the Update Aquatic – there are nine different kinds of ocean, all special in their own unique way.在最初，Minecraft的地图是被一个单一且无限的海洋所包围的，但是自从生物群系被加入到Minecraft里面之后，海洋就成了把它们连接在一起的粘合剂。一开始在Minecraft里，只有单一存在的海洋生物群系，但随着版本更迭，一系列混合的海洋生物群系也开始逐步形成，在水域更新版本之后，海洋已经有九种不同的生物群系，它们都有着自己独特的特点。
Today, we’re taking a trip to one of my favourites – the Deep Cold Ocean.今天，我们要开始一场到我最喜欢的群系之一——冷水深海的旅途。
Swimming is slow and oceans are big, so to visit Minecraft’s ocean biomes, you’re probably going to want to bring a boat. Track down a deep cold ocean by looking for some of the following things: dark water at the surface, gravel at the seabed, kelp forests, dolphins, cod, salmon, and the occasional huge one-eyed monster shooting lasers at you.在Minecraft里，游泳很慢，重洋淼淼。想要参观Minecraft的海洋生物群落，最适合的方式是驾上一叶扁舟开始你的观光之旅。尝试从这些特征来寻找冷水深海吧：黝黑阴沉的水面、海底的砂石，海藻组成的水下森林，嬉戏的海豚、鳕鱼、鲑鱼，还有冷不防向你发射激光的独眼庞然大物。
Deep cold oceans differ from regular cold oceans because – obviously – the water is deeper. In some cases, you’ll need to swim down more than 30 blocks before reaching the seabed. On that seabed, you’ll find shipwrecks and underwater ruins, but you’ll also find underwater caves and ravines, with exposed magma blocks creating columns of bubbles that’ll drag an unsuspecting player down to the bottom.冷水深海（Deep Cold Ocean）不同于普通的冷水海洋（Cold Ocean），因为很明显，它的海水更深。在某些情况下，你需要游下多达30多格才能到达海底。在海床上，你会偶尔发现沉船和水下遗迹，也有机会发现水下洞穴和峡谷，随机生成的岩浆块没准会形成气泡柱，毫不留情地将没有丝毫防备的玩家拖到海底。
The most interesting, and dangerous, thing that you’ll find in a deep cold ocean is an ocean monument, packed full of goodies that include Prismarine, dark Prismarine, gold, sponges, and sea lanterns. Want to find one? Hunt down a cartographer, who – if you’re lucky – might be willing to part with a map in exchange for a few emeralds. But come prepared – these huge, ancient structures are guarded by huge, ancient beasts who don’t like trespassers very much.在寒冷的深海中，你会发现最有趣但也最危险的东西是海底神殿，里面装满了各种各样的宝物，包括海晶石、暗海晶石、黄金、海绵和海晶灯。想找到一个海底神殿吗？你可以在村民中找一个制图师进行交易，如果你够幸运的话，他可能愿意用一张海底神殿地图来跟你换取一些绿宝石。但请做好准备——这些硕大无朋的古老建筑由体型庞大的古代怪物所守护，它们并不欢迎入侵者。
In the real world, about 90% of all the Earth’s water is found in the deep oceans – and this water is pretty cold – between about 0 to 3°C. It doesn’t just sit there – oceanographers have found that it actually moves around the planet extremely slowly, eventually upwelling to the surface when it hits the edge of a continent.在现实世界中，地球上大约90%的水存在于0~3°之间的深水海洋中，而且这种水温度相当的低。它并非滞留于原地一动不动——海洋学家发现，它实际上在缓缓绕着地球移动，当它到达大陆边缘时，最终会上升到地球表面。
Until pretty recently, we thought these cold dark places were barren and devoid of life – the equivalent of undersea deserts. But more recent research has shown that they’re actually teeming with a wide variety of life. Thousands of different species of bacteria, hundreds of single-celled protozoans, and hundreds more worms, crustaceans, and molluscs can be found at a single site.不久之前，我们还以为这些寒冷黑暗的地方是贫瘠和缺乏生命的，相当于海底的沙漠。但最近的研究表明，那里实际上生机勃勃。在同一地点可以发现数千种不同种类的细菌、数百种单细胞原生动物以及数百种以上的蠕虫、甲壳类动物和软体动物。
Above the seabed, you’ll also find plenty of fish, which survive in these pitch-black environments through carefully tuned senses of smell, taste, and electrosensitivity. And in some places, where cracks on the seafloor allow water to reach magma below, the water temperature rises substantially and huge communities of diverse creatures can be found pulling energy from the warm water.在海床上方，你还会发现海量的鱼群，它们通过细致地调整嗅觉、味觉和电敏度，以适应漆黑环境中的生活。在某些地方，海底的裂谷让水能与底下岩浆接触，由此水温也大幅上升，大量海底生物从温暖的海水汲取能量，形成了巨大无比的海底生物族群。
So next time you feel your boat wobble as you’re crossing the ocean in Minecraft, and you’re unexpectedly pulled to the seafloor, take a moment before you drown to marvel at the incredible diversity of the life surrounding you.所以下一次当你在minecraft里乘坐一叶扁舟远渡重洋时，如果你感到船摇摆不定的时候，没准是在被气泡柱拉到海底。在你溺水的弥留之际，不妨花一点时间来惊叹一下你周遭丰富多彩的生物群系。
