DEEP DIVESTAKING INVENTORY: NETHER STAR背包盘点：下界之星
A beacon of hope! 希望之信标！
There are a few rare and precious items that will cause any seasoned Minecrafter’s eyes to light up with excitement. Diamonds are an obvious one. Emeralds, too, for their use as currency. An elytra will really brighten an explorer’s day, and so will an amethyst shard.有一些稀有的珍贵物品能让任何Minecraft老玩家双眼放光，钻石显而易见是其中之一。还有绿宝石也是，它通常被当作货币使用。而一个鞘翅真的可以让一名探险家一整天都心情明亮，还有紫水晶碎片也一样。
But today we’re featuring one of the most valuable items of all, and one of the most dangerous to obtain. It’s the flower pot! Wait, that doesn’t sound right – I must have got my notes mixed up... Ah yes – here we go. It’s actually the Nether star! The Nether star is our item of the month!
但我们今天要展示的是最有价值的物品之一，同时也是获取方式最为危险的物品之一，它就是——花盆！等等，听起来好像有些不对，——我肯定是把笔记弄混了，啊，这次对了——再来一遍，它其实是下界之星！我们本次的月度物品就是下界之星！
The Nether star was added to Minecraft in the Pretty Scary update in October 2012, alongside potatoes, carrots on sticks, and the wither skeleton mob. The last entry in that list – wither skeleton – is pretty important, because you’re gonna need to kill a bunch of wither skeletons to get your hands on a Nether star.
2012年10月，下界之星与马铃薯、胡萝卜钓竿、凋灵骷髅一起被添加到《我的世界》“Pretty Scary（相当可怕）”更新当中。这次更新内容的最后一项——凋灵骷髅——非常重要，因为你得干掉一堆凋灵骷髅才能拿到一个下界之星。
Oh, you think wither skeletons drop Nether stars? Ahahahaha nooooo that would be much too easy. Going into the Nether, locating a Nether fortress, and then slaying a load of wither skeletons are just the start of your journey. You’re gonna need to collect three of their skulls, and there’s maybe a one-in-forty chance that a given wither skeleton drops one. So get ready to kill at least a hundred. Unless you’ve got a Looting enchantment on your sword, of course, in which case the figure drops down to maybe 35 or so. A bit easier, but still not a walk in the flower forest.
哦，你以为凋灵骷髅会掉落下界之星吗？啊哈，当然不是，那样的话就太容易了。你得先去地狱，找到一个下界堡垒，然后干掉一堆凋灵骷髅，然而这才只是你旅途的开始。你需要收集至少三个凋灵骷髅的头颅，每个凋灵骷髅掉落头颅的概率只有四十分之一（2.5%），所以，你要做好至少干掉一百个凋灵骷髅的准备，除非你的剑上有抢夺附魔，诚然，这可以让这个数字下降到35左右，变得稍微容易一点，但仍无法让你像在花园里散步一样轻松。
Alright, got your three wither skulls? Pick up some soul sand while you’re in the Nether and then head back to the Overworld where it’s a bit safer. Heal up, grab your strongest weapons and armor, some potions, and maybe some milk, and then head a good distance away from your home and pile up your sand in a T-shape on the ground. Put one head on each block of the T’s crossbar, then stand back. Because you just summoned the Wither.
好吧，你拿到三个凋灵骷髅头了？那么趁着你还在地狱的时候，别忘了采集一些灵魂沙，然后回到更安全的主世界，休养生息，拿起你最好的武器和盔甲，一些药水，也许还需要一些牛奶，之后离开家，走远点，拿出灵魂沙在地面上堆放成T形，把凋灵骷髅头颅摆放在T形灵魂沙横杆的每一个方块上，然后后退。因为你召唤了凋灵。
I won’t go into details here on how to kill this terrifying beast, which has one of the highest health totals in the game and fires poisonous skulls that explode on impact, but let’s just say you manage it somehow. It’ll drop a bucketload of XP, as well as – finally – what you went through all this for. A Nether star. Was it worth it?
我不会在这里详细讲述如何干掉这个可怕的家伙，它是整个游戏中生命值最高的生物之一，会发射在撞击时产生爆炸的有毒头骨，尽管如此，让我们假设你设法干掉了它，它会掉落成桶的经验，以及——最后——你经历这一切的目的。一颗下界之星。这一切值得吗？
YES! Because Nether stars are awesome. Well, you can only do one thing with it actually, but that thing is pretty awesome – with some glass and obsidian, you can craft a beacon, which shoots a big laser into the sky and gives powerful buffs to any players standing nearby. It’s worth it, I promise it.
当然！因为下界之星简直是棒极了。诚然，你只能用它做一件事，但这件事相当棒——加上一些玻璃和黑曜石，你可以制作一个信标，它可以向天空发射一个巨大的光束，并给站在附近的任何玩家提供强大的增益buff。这是值得的，我保证。
Now wish me luck, I’m off to fight a Wither and grab a Nether star for myself...
现在祝我好运吧，我要去和凋灵战斗来为自己夺得一颗下界之星…
