SOFIA: How are you celebrating Valentine’s Day? Did you plan something for your crush or significant other, or did you forget all about it? If you fall into the first category, good for you. You can move along. The rest of you can come with Per and me, who have put together a Last-Minute Minecraft Valentine’s Day Workshop.
SOFIA: 打算咋庆祝情人节啊？是已经为心仪的那个ta精心准备了小礼物，还是彻底把这茬给忘了？如果是前者的话，恭喜你，现在就可以网页右上角走人啦。而如果你不幸成为剩下的人，就来在这最后时刻，参加我和 Per 举办的 Minecraft 情人节研讨会吧。

We’ll walk you through the art of wooing your crush – Minecraft style – with a sweet surprise. No, it’s not a bundle of bees. That doesn’t go over well, trust me. Today we’re going to craft cards filled with words that are sweeter than honey but thankfully have no stingers or flappy little wings. Obviously, we’re doing this out of the goodness of our hearts and not because we have too much time on our hands. Right, Per?
我们会为你介绍，如何用带有Minecraft特色的方式，为你的小可爱准备甜蜜的惊喜，来表达你的浓浓情意。啊不不不，“甜蜜的惊喜”不是指蜜蜂。相信我，这么做你就无了。今天，我们要教你制作一些比蜂蜜还要甜的贺卡，不带蜂刺和翅膀的那种哦。显然，我们这么做，是因为我们热心肠，可不是因为我们在情人节闲下来了哈。是不是啊，Per？

PER: That’s right, Sofia! Love is in the air and – no wait, sorry, that’s snow – and what better way to capture it than to show your devotion with a carefully crafted card? Covering this day has become somewhat of a treasured tradition here at Minecraft.net, and I love it! Not because of actual love, but more because of the abundance of chocolate.
PER: 说的很对，Sofia！空气中弥漫着恋爱的气息 —— 哦对不起，这是雪的味道 —— 还有什么，比一张精致的贺卡更能表达你满满的爱意呢？在某种程度上，我们官网博客已经将过情人节视为传统了！我爱这一天真是爱到不行！啊，不是因为情人间的那种爱，而是因为可以体验吃巧克力吃到吐的感觉。

Over the years, we’ve written extensive stories in the name of adoration: from how to express your love, to thorough investigations about how romantic Minecraft really is . This year is no exception, and who could do a better job of delivering a guide to the perfect gift than the editorial team’s most love-starved warmhearted writers? Well, plenty of people actually, but this is what you get! I’ll help inspire you with some card designs, while Sofia will be your resident wordsmith. Let’s get started!
回首过往时光，对于纪念情人节，我们也曾写过很多文章：从研讨如何表达爱意，到探究Minecraft “爆表”的浪漫指数。今年，当然也不例外！还有谁，跟我们两位博文组最缺爱最热心的编辑相比，能更好地指导您情人节礼物的制作方法呢？好吧，可能有不少人可以，但现在，只剩我们俩能帮你了！我能提供些设计贺卡的点子，而 Sofia 则会教你如何酿一些甜言蜜语出来。废话少说，让我们开始吧！

Turning your feelings into words – Sofia Style
爱要大声说出来 —— 以 Sofia 编辑的风格！

How does one take something as abstract as a feeling and turn it into something tangible like a word? With close-up magic! I jest, of course, as there is nothing slight about these hands of mine. They will however hold a pen, scratch it wildly against a paper or other surface, and allow me to turn my innermost feelings into outermost sentences. Sometimes they even rhyme and if I am very lucky, they also make sense.
该怎么把抽象的情感化为具象的话语呢？当然是要用魔法！我当然是开玩笑的，我的双手可没什么特异功能！但是，它们会握住笔，在纸上或其他地方乱画，帮我把我内心深处的情感，化为最直率的话语。这些话，有时甚至还能押韵，更有甚者，甚至还很有道理！


If you would prefer a different method to blind wall scribbling, I have prepared a few incredible odes and sonnets that I may or may not have plagiarized from William Shakespeare, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and my nemesis Mother Goose. Who are you to judge? You’re doing the same thing!
要是不想在墙上涂鸦的话，我还为你准备了一些绝妙的诗行篇章。有的可能是我从莎士比亚那里，或者勃朗宁夫人那里，或者鹅妈妈童谣里面撷来的。你在那品评什么，还说我抄袭？你不也正要这么干嘛！

Building the per-fect card with Per
和 Per 一起来制作爱心小卡片吧！

The Valentine’s card is a romantic tradition that dates back to as early as the 18th century when people would decorate papers by hand, filling them with romantic symbols and poems to give to their loved ones. That sounds like a whole lot of work, so we will be building our cards in Minecraft instead. Now that we have our perfect poems ready, we’ll focus on five fabulous forms that will help you proclaim your love!

情人节贺卡这一浪漫传统历史悠久，最早可上溯至 18 世纪。那时，人们会手工精装起爱心小卡片，于其上写下满怀爱意的符号诗句，然后将其赠予所爱之人。听起来这一圈子得费不少功夫，所以我们还是在Minecraft里建造贺卡吧。现在，我们的甜言蜜语已经酿制完成，接下来，我们将特别介绍五种表达爱意的绝佳形式！



I’M NOT SHY – I’M STEALTHY
我不是害羞 —— 只是善于隐藏

Look, I get it, giving your crush a card in person is a terrifying experience – even if that card is built in Minecraft! The recipient might notice you before you’ve finished your design – or worse – don’t like it!
听着，从我个人经历角度出发，直接亲手把爱心小卡片递给那个ta绝对会毁掉一切 —— 即便这贺卡是在Minecraft中建造的，也于事无补！接受卡片的那一方会在你完成设计之前，就注意到这一切 —— 或者更糟糕的情况，人家根本不喜欢这种礼物！

If you’d like to avoid both embarrassment and rejection, there's an easy way out; put a few words on a sign, run away as fast as you can, and never speak to anyone again. It’s safer that way!
而如果想要避免尴尬或好人卡的话，这里就为你介绍一种容易些的方式 —— 在告示牌上写几句话，然后赶紧跑开，不要对任何人讲，不要回头！这样做就安全多了！


THE LOVE LECTERN

爱之讲台

Sometimes a card or a sign isn’t enough for capturing your feelings for your significant other. Five rows? I need at least ten A4! Maybe you want to recite romantic parts from Romeo & Juliet, or in my case,Twilight? Fear not, for we have the solution!
有时，贺卡或是告示牌，都不足以表达对那个重要的ta的爱意。五行字怎么够？十张A4纸都书不尽我的情愫绵绵！可能你想要吟诵起《罗密欧与朱丽叶》，或者我喜欢的《暮光之城》这类作品里的浪漫佳话。但是，还是别了，我们有更好的解决方案！

Enter the lectern – the perfect stage for passionate speeches and romantic recitations. All you need is a bit of wood, a book and quill – and voíla– you’ll have enough space to write your very own romantic novel. Well, as long as 100 pages will suffice.
点开“讲台” —— 这里便是你发表热情演说，吟诵浪漫传奇的绝佳舞台。你只需要几块木头，还有书与笔，然后，就有足够的地方来书写你自己的浪漫小说了！好吧，如果100页的上限足够的话。


STANDARD VANILLA
原版中典型的爱

Signs and lecterns are both nice gestures, but they don’t require much effort. It’s time we started building something with our own digital hands, and what better way to start than to create a simple, yet classic Valentine’s card? Hearts? Check! Plenty of rows to write on? Check! A frame made of crimson stem and poisonous mushroom blocks? Check! It’s doesn’t get any more romantic than this!
告示牌或讲台都是不错的爱意表达方式，但是并不用花太多精力。是时候该用我们在游戏中的双手，建一些东西出来了。还有什么，能比做一张简单朴素，但又不失经典的情人节贺卡更合适呢？爱心图标？完成！写字的格线？完成！绯红菌柄与红蘑菇方块围成的边框？完成！这真是再浪漫不过了！




THE CHOCOLATE CHARMER
巧克力诱惑

Most people believe that Valentine’s Day is about celebrating romance and love. HA! I'll let you in on a secret: It isn’t! Those of us who’s been in the game for a while (i.e. singles) know that it’s about one thing and one thing only: chocolate! The way to someone's heart is through their stomach, and what could be more appreciated than a card made partially of cacao? Just head to the nearest jungle biome and grab all the jungle log blocks and cocoa seeds you can get!
大部分人认为，情人节是庆祝浪漫与爱情的节日。哈！让我告诉你一个小秘密：根本不是！现在，已经玩了一段时间游戏的我们（例如单身狗们）知道，情人节仅仅是为了庆祝“唯一之物”而存在的 —— 那就是巧克力！“要想抓住一个男人的心，首先就要抓住他的胃”，还有什么，能比由可可豆做成的贺卡更妙呢？找到附近最近的丛林生物群系，然后把所有的丛林木原木和可可豆都收集起来吧！



DEVOTION DELUXE
奢华的爱

When you think about it, isn’t it outrageous that we celebrate love only once a year? With that in mind, it’s obvious that the sun and starts of your life deserve something more than just any regular frame. I thought of that and created the Minecraft Valentine Deluxe Edition™ – an expensive card made out of the most extravagant blocks the Overworld has to offer: red glazed terracotta, block of quartz, redstone blocks, and yellow wool. Sure, it costs a fortune to create, but to achieving personal bankruptcy is to love with all your heart and soul! Those red things in the bottom are supposed to be flowers, by the way...
仔细想想，一年只庆祝一次爱情，这件事不是很无法接受嘛？一旦想到这一点，是不是生活中的日生日落，斗转星移，不应被“传统的条条框框（朴素的边框）”所束缚呢？想到此处，Minecraft 贺卡之情人节豪华版™便诞生了 —— 它由主世界最稀有，最奢侈的几种方块组成：红色带釉陶瓦，石英块，红石块，黄色羊毛。要想建这么一个玩意当然得花不少钱，但想想看，你那身无分文的样子，难道不也代表着你付出之深，付出之长久吗？顺便得提一句，下面那一团红色的东西本来打算做成小花花的模样...


Voila!
瞧！

Now you should be more than ready for Valentine’s Day! Some poetry here, some cards there, and cacao beans everywhere. And remember, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to keep a card for yourself, especially that chocolate filled one. If there’s one thing that Per and Sofia know for sure – the only thing, really – it’s that you don’t have to get a girlfriend if you want a Valentine’s Day card of your own. Treating yourself is pretty sweet, too.
现在，你应该准备好过情人节啦！几行诗句，几张贺卡，还有一堆巧克力，齐活啦。还有，记住，给你自己留一张情人节贺卡是无可厚非的，特别是那份巧克力的！我们两位编辑能够确定 —— 或者说我们唯一知道的是 —— 即使没有npy，你也可以为自己做一张情人节贺卡！只有幸福地对待自己，才能收获幸福呐！

Happy Valentine’s Day!
情人节快乐！
