Psst, hey you. What if I told you you could breathe underwater? Or see in the dark? Or turn invisible? Or walk unharmed through fire? You wouldn’t believe me, right? Well, it just so happens that a little sip of our item of the week can allow you to do all those things and more. Not in real life, silly – in Minecraft . It’s the potion, and quite honestly it tastes disgusting. Or so I've heard.
嘿，看这里。如果我和你说你能在水下呼吸？或者在黑暗中看见东西？或者隐形？或者毫发无损地走过火焰？你不会相信我的，对吧？好吧，只需要喝一小口我们的本周物品，你就可以做到所有这些神奇的事，甚至更多。不是在现实生活中，而是在 Minecraft 中。它就是药水，尝起来真的很恶心。至少我是这么听说的。

Potions were first added to Minecraft in the Adventure Update, better known as Minecraft 1.0.0. Initially, they were brewed in cauldrons, through a complicated system that involved tossing in ingredients one at a time. But it was pretty confusing, so the brewing stand was implemented instead.
药水于冒险更新，也就是 Minecraft 1.0.0 中加入游戏。起初，药水是在炼药锅里酿造的。这需要通过一个很复杂的系统，一次只加入一种材料。然而这很令人迷惑，于是我们改用了酿造台。

There are several ways to obtain potions. Brewing is the most obvious – by combining various ingredients with a water bottle in the aforementioned brewing stand. But you can also find them in chests, trade them with wandering traders or piglins, or hunt down witches – which drop them on death.
获取药水的方式很多。最显而易见的就是酿造——在前述的酿造台中将许多种材料与水瓶混合。但你也可以在箱子中找到药水，与流浪商人或猪灵交易，或是追猎女巫——它们死亡时会掉落药水。

There are lots of potions available – regeneration, healing, swiftness, fire resistance, strength, leaping, water breathing, invisibility, slow falling, turtle master and luck all have positive effects on the living. But there are also poison, weakness, slowness, harming, and decay potions that harm their drinker.
可用的药水种类也很多——再生、治疗、迅捷、抗火、力量、跳跃、水肺、隐身、缓降、神龟、幸运，这些都对活物有益。但也有对饮用者有害的药水——剧毒、虚弱、迟缓、伤害、衰变。

To use a potion, hold it in your hand and hit use. It’s that easy. But wait – don’t drink it yet. Instead, try surrounding a lingering potion with arrows in a crafting grid to get tipped arrows, which bestow the effect you choose on whatever you hit with that arrow. Finally, in Bedrock Edition you can also use a potion on a cauldron to fill it up. A cauldron will hold up to three identical potions, allowing you to save them for later.
想使用药水，那就把它拿在手上，然后按下“使用”键。就这么简单。但是等一下——先别喝。不如试一下，在合成格里把箭围在滞留型药水周围以合成药箭，它会将药水效果给予你用这支箭射中的任何目标。最后，在基岩版中你也可以把药水倒进炼药锅里。炼药锅可以容纳完全相同的三瓶药水，允许你把它们存起来日后使用。

In the real world, the word “potion” comes from the Latin word “potus”, which refers to a drink, or drinking, and people have been making and selling potions for millennia.
在现实世界中，“potion”（药水）这个词源于拉丁语单词“potus”，它可以指代一种饮料，或者作为动词：饮用。几千年来，人们一直在制造和销售药水。

Common potion types include love potions (which supposedly cause the drinker to fall in love), restorative potions (which cure various ailments), immortality potions (which grant eternal youth), sleeping potions (which send the drinker to sleep), hallucinogenic potions (which induce visions), and poisons (which harm the drinker).
常见的药水类型包括爱情药水（据说会让饮用者坠入爱河）、复健药水（包治百病）、不朽药水（让人长生不老）、睡眠药水（让饮用者入睡）、致幻药水（诱发幻觉），以及毒药（对饮用者有害）。

Most of these potions don’t work, or rely on the placebo effect, but a small handful does and we generally call those “medicine”. If you’ve ever taken cough syrup for a chest infection, or sipped a cup of chamomile tea to help you calm down or sleep, then you’ve drunk a potion.
这些药水中的大多数都不会起什么作用，或是依赖安慰剂效应，但其中确实也有一小部分会起作用，我们通常就把它们叫作“药物”。如果你曾经由于胸部感染服用止咳糖浆，或是喝过甘菊茶来帮助你冷静或入睡，那你已经喝过药水了。

Luckily, Minecraft’s potions are a lot more effective. No placebo effect here. So get brewing, and enjoy better living through chemistry.
幸运的是，Minecraft 的药水比这有效得多。这里没有安慰剂效应。所以来酿造吧，享受药剂学带给你的美好生活。

百事可乐最开始也是正儿八经的药水，是一种胃药

可口可乐据说最初也是治头疼的。

照这么说 快乐药水：可口可乐？

“药水指的是一种饮品” 我有个大胆的改名想法

可乐果就是一种药材，可乐因此得名
