Sail Minecraft’s seas long enough, and you’ll eventually come across a place where the surface is frozen solid. Where polar bears hunt their prey between icebergs. Where snow falls from the sky instead of rain. I hope you bought some warm clothes, because you’ve found the frozen ocean.
在Minecraft的海洋上航行许久，你总会遇到一片满是冻土的地方，上面的北极熊正穿梭于冰山之间捕食猎物，雪花代替雨水飘荡而下。希望你买了些棉衣，因为你发现了冻洋。

Oceans have been a part of Minecraft since almost the very beginning, but frozen oceans didn’t arrive until a bit later – in the second part of the Adventure Update in November 2011. They were removed again in The Update that Changed the World, and then re-added with upgrades in the Update Aquatic. Since then, they’ve been a vital part of Minecraft’s library of snowy biomes.
几乎从一开始，海洋就是Minecraft的一部分了，可冻洋却稍晚一点——它们在2011年11月的第二部分的冒险更新中被加入。在改变世界的更新中，它们又被移除。然后在水域更新中，更新过后的冻洋被重新加入。自那时起，它们就成为了Minecraft雪地群系库中一个重要的组成部分。

You’ll know a frozen ocean when you see one. It’s the ocean, but frozen into ice. It comes in two variants. In the shallow variant, you’ll see dark purple water at the surface, punctuated by rafts of ice as well as large icebergs made of packed and blue ice. The seabed is mostly gravel, with patches of sand and clay, and no seagrass or kelp.
当你看到冻洋的第一眼就能知道它是冻洋了。它是海洋，但是是被冻成冰的海洋。它拥有两种变体。在浅层变体中，你会看到表面满是深紫色的水，其中点缀着大量的冰和以蓝冰构成的大冰山。海底主要由砂砾、一些沙子和黏土组成，并不存在海草或海带。

The deeper variant is very similar. There are still icebergs, but no layer of ice present at sea level. It’s too deep for that. Below the surface in this biome, you might also find ocean monuments where guardians guide ancient treasure.
深层变体也很类似。这儿依然有冰山，可是在海平面上不会有冰层存在，因为这里太深了。在这个群系的表层之下，你也许会发现海底神殿，守卫者正守护着那儿的远古宝藏。

The hostile environment at the surface means that only polar bears and rabbits spawn here, but below the waves you’ll also find plentiful squid, salmon and cod. At night, you’ll want to beware of drowned, strays, and other hostile entities who’d love nothing more than to pull you down into the icy depths.
表层恶劣的环境导致只有北极熊和兔子会在这里生成，不过在海浪之下你也会发现许多鱿鱼、鲑鱼和鳕鱼。在夜晚时，你要注意溺尸、流浪者和其他敌对生物，它们最喜欢做的就是把你拉入寒冷刺骨的海水中。

There are not many great reasons to set up home here. Resources are limited to water, snow, various types of ice, gravel, sand and clay. You’ll find food by fishing, and you could collect wood from shipwrecks, but it’ll generally be a pretty tough life with little to recommend it.
这儿没有什么理由能让你安家。这里的资源仅限于海水、积雪、各式各样的冰块、砂砾、沙子和黏土。虽然你能通过钓鱼来获取食物，也可以从沉船上获取木头，但在这生活终究是件不被看好的难事。

In the real world, we have plenty of frozen oceans. At the North Pole, you’ll find the Arctic Ocean, but you’ll also find frozen water in the winter in the Baltic Sea, Hudson Bay and Baffin Bay, the Bering Sea, the Sea of Okhotsk, and the Southern Ocean which rings the continent of Antarctica.
在真实世界中，也存在许多冻洋。在北极，你能看到北冰洋，不仅如此，你还可以在波罗的海、哈德逊湾、巴芬湾、白令海、鄂霍次克海和环南极洲的南大洋上的冬天时发现冰冻的海水。

Climate change is warming our oceans and the polar regions much faster than elsewhere, however, which means that the amount of ice in the sea every year is shrinking – and the ice that is there is getting thinner. This is a serious problem for the people and animals that make their living on the shores of these frozen oceans.
气候变化正使我们的海洋和极点区域迅速升温，比其他地方都要快，然而这也意味着海洋中冰的总量正在锐减——那些地方的冰层正变得越来越薄。这对在冻洋的海湾上生存的人和动物来说都是一个严峻的问题。

Without reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, it won’t be long until there’s very little frozen ocean left – and then the only place you’ll be able to see it will be Minecraft. Which would be very sad. Let’s hope we can reverse climate change before it’s too late.
如果不减少温室气体的排放，很快冻洋就会所剩无几——到那时候你唯一能看到它的地方就只剩在Minecraft里了，这是多么可悲的事情。盼望我们能在为时已晚前扭转气候变化吧。

“海底纪念碑”应为“海底神殿”

okk当时没联想到那里去

登辉，茶馆有人好像把这个帖看成新闻帖了，说什么mc要加入冻洋
那个帖找不到了，估计被删了

冻洋里有大量的浮冰和蓝冰，而且并不像冰刺平原那样罕见，是一个很好的浮冰来源。

冰山里面还能挖到雪块。

没有啥大问题，就说说两个有意思的点吧

eventually 在这里的意思的处理有些细微 更像是“总会”而不是“最终”，就是“找到冻土”并不是确定的目的
you’ll see dark purple water at the surface 这里的紫色也许可以有更好的说法，因为英文里也有很多词语和实际指代颜色不同的描述，也许靛蓝色(indigo)不错？

感谢指教
eventually之前在翻译的时候确实很纠结，有点感觉“最终”怪怪的，替换成“总会”的话确实意思更通顺一点
不过冻洋的颜色的话我去查了下wiki，RGB码是#3938C9，从颜色上看是接近于蓝色和紫色中间的颜色。如果选用“靛蓝色”的话，感觉有点太偏向蓝了。出于尊重原文的角度的话我还是倾向于翻译原文本意，即保留“深紫色”

冻洋确实比较小...而且北极熊也不好找
