As you’re exploring the new landscapes of part two of the Caves and Cliffs update, you might want to locate one of the fancy new lush caves biomes. From the surface, it’s usually impossible to tell what’s going on underneath. But there’s a secret giveaway that indicates the presence of one of these fantastic, verdant cave biomes below. And it also happens to be our item of the week. It’s the azalea.
当你在探索洞穴与山崖第二部分更新的新地形时，你可能想要找到一个繁茂洞穴群系。看地表通常不会知道其地下别有洞天，但是这里有一个告诉你地下存在奇幻的繁茂洞穴的神秘的东西。它也就是我们的本周物品——杜鹃花丛。

Azalea were added to Minecraft in the first part of the Caves & Cliffs update, in June 2021. They’re a curious mix between a flower and a sapling, in that they look pretty and provide pollen for bees while still being able to be grown into a much larger tree if you desire.
杜鹃花丛于2021年1月份的洞穴与山崖更新的第一部分被加入到Minecraft。它们是由树苗和点缀在其上的花组成的一种奇妙的植物，因此它们看起来很漂亮，蜜蜂也可以从其采集花粉，当然，如果你想种植它的话，它还可以长成一棵更大的树。

But let’s start at the beginning – finding them. Azalea bushes grow exclusively on top of moss blocks in the lush caves biome – but on the surface above those biomes you’ll find fully-grown azalea trees. This makes it very easy to locate one – just wander around until you see azalea trees, and start digging.
那么，让我们从头开始——寻找它们。在繁茂洞穴群系中，杜鹃花丛只能生长在苔藓块的上面——但是在其上的地面你可以找到已经长成的杜鹃花树。这让你非常容易找到繁茂洞穴——只需四处闲逛，直到看见杜鹃花树，然后，开挖！

But hold on a second, you say. The second part of the Caves and Cliffs update isn’t out when you’re reading this. That is true, and unfortunate. It means that if you want to experience one, for the time being you’ll need to use the “buffet” option in the custom world menu. We’re working as hard as we can to get the full update out, so sit tight for now.
但是等一下，当在你读到这篇文章的时候，洞穴与山崖更新的第二部分还没有发布呢^[1]，这是个不幸的事实，也意味着如果你想探索繁茂洞穴的话，需要在创建世界的时候在自定义世界的选项中自选世界类型。我们现在正在为了能完整发布更新而尽我们所能地努力工作中，所以现在请坐等更新吧！

Okay, let’s say you’re in the future and you’ve got yourself an Azalea bush. What do you do with it? Well, they’re mostly there to look nice or to be grown into azalea trees. They’re the only sapling that won’t grow automatically – but if you bonemeal them then they’ll spring right up into a tree. The bushes also allow bees to harvest pollen to make honey. And if for some reason you hate azalea bushes, or end up with too many of them, then you can compost them or burn them in a furnace for fuel.
Okay，现在假设你就在未来并且有一个杜鹃花丛，你将会用它做什么呢？emmm……把它们放在那里一般仅仅是因为好看或者想让他们长成杜鹃花树。它们是目前唯一一种不会自行长成树的树苗——但是，如果你对它们施用骨粉，它们会在某一瞬间突然“蹦”成一棵杜鹃花树。未成树的花丛可以让蜜蜂从此收集花粉用来制作蜂蜜。如果你出于一些原因讨厌或者已经拥有了很多的杜鹃花丛了，那么你也可以将它们放在堆肥桶里堆肥或者放在熔炉里充当燃料来处理掉。

In the real world, Azaleas are a type of Rhododendron which bloom in the springtime. They’re native to Asia, Europe and North America, and like living under trees in acidic soil. They also grow rather slowly. It’s not uncommon to see azaleas bushes that are decades old.
在现实世界中，这种在春天开放的杜鹃花是杜鹃花属中的一种。原产于亚、欧、北美洲，喜酸性，生于山地疏灌丛或松林下，生长极其缓慢，所以，几十年生的杜鹃花丛并不少见。

Azaleas are highly toxic to humans, so they’re not used in cuisine or medicine. But their beautiful flowers mean that they’ve been popular as ornamental plants for centuries. Humans are so fond of them, in fact, that we’ve selectively bred more than 10,000 different varieties.
杜鹃花有剧毒，所以人们并不将其用于烹饪或者入药^[2]。但他们因为其美丽的花朵而被作为观赏性植物并因此而流行了数个世纪。人们非常喜欢它们，事实上，目前人类已经培育出来了超万种不同的杜鹃。

In Chinese culture, the azalea is known as the “thinking of home bush”, and features heavily in the work of Du Fu, one of China’s greatest poets. It’s also particularly popular in Japan, Korea and Hong Kong, and many US cities also celebrate the blooming of the azalea during the spring.
在中华文化中，杜鹃花亦被称为“思乡花”，且在中国的最伟大的诗人之一——杜甫的诗词作品中占有着十分重要的地位。杜鹃花亦在日本、韩国以及中国香港特别行政区深受人们喜爱。此外，在美国的多个城市的春季可见杜鹃花的盛放，这些地区的人们也因此而庆祝。

So next time you come across a grove of azalea on the surface in Minecraft, ready your shovel and start digging. You might uncover something rather special.
所以，下次你如果再在Minecraft中看见地面上的一棵开满杜鹃花的树时，准备好你的铲子，开挖！在其地下可能别有洞天！

错别字。

改成

会更好

嗯嗯，已改，谢谢大佬的指错和建议啦！
（第一次做翻译，感觉对比之下很我的确实很差）

这个地方量词更应该用“棵”

嗯……这个其实是错别字的说，当时译完没怎么仔细查错别字，下次会注意哒！

“杜鹃花的记载，最早见于汉代《神农本草经》，书中将“羊踯躅”列为有毒植物。”

杜鹃树叶不会随着群系变化颜色，有时候感觉挺违和（）不过正因如此更显眼了

这新植物，，与我无瓜~
