DEEP DIVESTAKING INVENTORY: AZALEA
背包盘点：杜鹃花丛
Is it a bush? Is it a tree?
灌木还是树？
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.
探索洞穴与山崖更新第二部分的全新景观时，你也许会想去新加入的繁茂洞穴群系一探美丽的景色。大部分时候仅凭地表很难判断地底的情况，但有个不起眼的东西会指明此处下方恰有这种青翠欲滴的美妙群系。凑巧它还是我们的本周物品 —— 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.
2021 年 6 月，杜鹃花丛在洞穴与山崖更新第一部分中被加入 Minecraft。它兼有花和树苗的特性，是二者奇特的结合体。它们不仅好看，而且能为蜜蜂提供花粉。如果你想的话，它们还能长成大树。
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.
让我们从寻觅它们开始。只有繁茂洞穴中的苔藓块上才有杜鹃花丛生长，但繁茂洞穴上方的地面也有已长大的杜鹃树。所以要找到这地方相当简单 —— 找棵杜鹃树，然后开始挖吧。
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.
“等一下，” 你说，“洞穴与山崖更新第二部分不是还没发布吗？” 不幸被你言中 ，事实的确如此，所以你只能通过在自定义世界菜单中选择 “自选” 选项来体验这些内容。我们正在全力推进完整的更新进度，你只要坐等发布就行了！
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.
设想一下将来如果你搞到了杜鹃花丛，你会做什么？它们的主要用途仅有作为装饰和长成杜鹃花树，同时还是唯一一种不会自然生长的树苗 —— 除非你用骨粉让它们立刻长大。盛开的花丛亦可供蜜蜂采蜜。如果你实在讨厌它们或是供大于求，还可以拿它们堆肥或是当作熔炉的燃料。

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.
现实中的杜鹃属于杜鹃花属，花期在春季，原产亚洲、欧洲与北美，喜荫处酸性土壤。它们生长周期相当长，数十年高龄的杜鹃并不少见。
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.
杜鹃对人体的剧毒使其无法用作食材或药材，但美丽的花朵却使它们成为了流行数个世纪的观赏植物。人们已选择性地培育了过万种不同品种的杜鹃，足见对其喜爱之深。
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.
中国文化中杜鹃被称作 “思乡树”，在最伟大的中国诗人之一杜甫的作品中有重大意义。在日本、韩国和中国香港杜鹃同样十分流行，许多美国城市也有在春季庆祝杜鹃盛开的活动。
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.
下次在 Minecraft 中遇到杜鹃林时，记得备好铲子准备开挖。有些奇妙的东西正等着被你发现。
