DEEP DIVES

Some of Minecraft’s ocean is warm . Some are deep and cold . Some are even frozen . But today we’re featuring the bits of the Overworld ocean that are just kinda in-betweeny, not too warm and not too cold. They’re known as the Lukewarm Ocean, our biome of the month!
Minecraft 中的海洋有些是暖的。有些是又冷又深的。甚至有些是冻住的。不过今天我们的话题是那种处于中间的主世界海洋，既不太暖也不太冷。它被称作温水海洋，我们的本月群系！

The different ocean variants in the game were added in the Update Aquatic, back in 2018. In one way they’re all fairly similar – full of water. But the different ocean biomes are dramatically different in every other way, including the life that you’ll find there, and the resources you can collect.
海洋群系的各种变种是在 2018 年的海洋更新中加入的。从某种角度来说它们都非常相似 – 都充满了水。不过这些不同的海洋群系在其它方面则有显著的不同，比如你能够发现的生命种类，以及你能够收集到的资源。

Lukewarm oceans have light blue water, and tend to generate adjacent to biomes like jungles and savannas. The seafloor is sand, like in warm oceans, though you’ll also find dirt, clay, and gravel when the seabed rises closer to the surface. Shipwrecks and ocean ruins can be found in this biome, but be careful when you’re raiding them because the drowned are an ever-present danger.
温水海洋的水是亮蓝色的，通常在诸如丛林和热带草原这样的群系附近生成。和暖水海洋一样，海床是由沙子构成的。虽说随着海床的升高，也能发现泥土，黏土以及沙砾。这个群系中可以发现沉船和海底遗迹，不过在你掠夺其中物资的请时候务必小心，溺尸无时无刻不在伺机而动。

You’ll find some seagrass and kelp to collect in lukewarm oceans, though more of the former and less of the latter than in colder oceans. It’s also pretty common to find cod, pufferfish, and tropical fish for your home aquarium. Dolphins and squid roam through these waters too, though they’re rather harder to take home because they don’t fit in a bucket.
你可以在温水海洋中收集到海草和海带，海草的数量要比更冷的海洋中多一些，海带的数量则少一些。同样也能轻易找到鳕鱼、河豚和热带鱼来装饰你的家庭水族馆。海豚和鱿鱼也会在这个群系中游荡，不过它们没法装进桶中，所以想要携带就困难得多。

Deep lukewarm oceans are similar to their shallow cousins, but they also have a chance to generate ocean monuments, haunted by Guardians, and more tall seagrass.
温水深海跟它们的浅海表亲大体相同，除了它们可以生成被守护者和高海草包围的海底神殿这一点。

In the real world, Earth’s lukewarm oceans are known as “temperate” and span the area between the poles and the tropics, helping exchange heat between the two.
在现实世界中，地球上的温水海洋被称为「温带海洋」，跨越寒带和热带之间的地区，有着平衡两者之间热量的作用。

The Earth’s rotation generally means that these oceans form enormous circular currents known as “gyres”. Towards the north, the water is rich in things to eat – attracting a lot of fish, whales, and humans wanting to catch fish and whales. In the southern parts, the sea tends to be emptier of life, resulting in clear, deep blue waters.
地球的旋转使得这些海洋会形成叫做「洋流」的巨大环流。在北方，水中富有食物，吸引了不少鱼类，鲸类，以及取食鱼类和鲸类的人类们。在南边的地区，海洋中的生命就要少很多，形成了洁净，深蓝的水体。

As lukewarm oceans serve as the meeting point between polar and tropical seas, they tend to contain aspects of both. They’re a nice happy medium. If you prefer your oceans more extreme, then keep swimming.
由于温水海洋处于寒带和热带之间，它们通常兼有热带和寒带海洋的特点，一点都不会落下。如果你喜欢更加极端的海洋，那么就继续游下去吧。
