月度方块：龙蛋

BLOCK OF THE MONTH: DRAGON EGG

Minecraft 中最稀有的物品？

The rarest item in Minecraft?

通关 Minecraft 不是一件简单的事情。流程也就是挖掘世界底部的钻石去挖掘黑曜石制造一个下界传送门去打一堆的烈焰棒去合成烈焰粉同末影珍珠合成末影之眼去激活末地传送门框架去采访末地顺带把哈基龙图了而已，你可能觉得自己应该为完成这些艰难的事获得一点小小的奖励。天啊这真是一个长难句。

Beating Minecraft isn't easy。After mining to the bottom of the world for diamonds to mine obsidian to make a nether portal to fight a lot of blazes to get blaze powder to combine with ender pearls to make eyes of ender to activate an End portal to visit the End dimension to slay the Ender Dragon，you probably feel like you deserve a bit of a reward for all of that hard work。Boy that was a long sentence！

今天的方块获得了月度方块的殊荣。它是被称为龙蛋的惰性卵状奢侈品，在 2011 年十一月的冒险更新中和炼药锅、闪烁的西瓜片和幼年动物一起加入游戏。

Today's block of the month is that reward。It's an inert ovoid extravagance called the Dragon Egg，and was added in the last part of the Adventure Update in November 2011，alongside cauldrons，glistering melons，and baby animals。

获得龙蛋意味着你需要完成上面长难句提到的所有事情，包括把末影龙一脚踩死。当你完成它们，你会看到龙蛋放置在龙池的传送门上方，这个传送门可以让你返回主世界。但不要直接用稿子砸，因为它会直接传送走。所以，你需要挖掉它下方的方块，让它掉到一个不完整方块上——比如火把或者下半砖。你也可以用活塞推动它。无论哪种方式，它最后都会变成掉落物的形式供你收集。

Getting a dragon egg just means doing all the stuff listed above，up to and including killing the Ender Dragon。Once you do，you’ll see it sitting on top of the exit portal that allows you to get back to the Overworld。But don’t just mosey on over there and whack it with a pickaxe，because it’ll just teleport away。Instead，you need to mine out the block it’s sitting on and cause it to fall onto a block where it can’t fit – like a torch or a slab。You can also give it a shove with a piston。Either way，it’ll then drop as an item，allowing it to be collected。

那它有什么用呢？呃……啥用没有。好吧，好吧，也不是什么用都没有。它会发出非常微弱的光。它会传送，上面说了。但基本上也就这样，它可以说是游戏中最稀有的物品——在 Java 版中最多可以获得一个，而在基岩版中可以得到两个（通过击败末影龙两次）。所以拜托不要把它扔进熔岩池里。或者其实扔也行！其实随你怎么做。

What does it do？Well…nothing。OK，ok，not nothing。It emits a very faint light level。It teleports，as noted above。But that’s more or less it。Its value is simply that it’s arguably the rarest item in the game – in Java edition you can only ever get one，and in Bedrock edition you can get two (by defeating the Ender Dragon twice)。So maybe don’t go throwing it into a pool of lava。Or do！It’s up to you really。

你可能会想：“如果末影龙会下蛋，那它是不是鸟类？”答案是否！很多不同类型的动物都会下蛋，包括鸟类、软体动物、昆虫、蜘蛛、鱼甚至一些哺乳动物。那么末影龙是鱼类吗？同样不是。虽然我们派去研究末影龙的生物学家没有一个活着回来，但我们最好的猜测是，它很可能是一种爬行动物。

You might be thinking: “If the Ender Dragon lays eggs，then is it a bird?” The answer is no – loads of different types of animals lay eggs，including birds，mollusks，insects，spiders，fish and even some mammals。“So is the Ender Dragon a fish?” Also no。While none of the biologists we’ve sent to study the Ender Dragon have returned alive，our best guess is that it’s most likely a reptile。

为啥？嗯……在现实世界里有几种爬行动物被称为龙——包括鬃狮蜥属（英文为bearded dragon）和科摩多巨蜥（英文为Komodo dragon）。实际上，有一个包含582种蜥蜴的科目经常被称为龙，但科学家将其归类为旧大陆鬣蜥科。当然还有龙鱼——但我们从没见过末影龙在水里游泳，所以我们排除了这一种。

Why？Well，in the real-world there are several reptiles called “dragons” – including the bearded dragon and the komodo dragon。In fact there’s a whole family of lizards，consisting of 582 species，that are often called dragons but which scientists refer to as Agamidae。Sure there are dragonfish too – but we’ve never seen the Ender Dragon swimming，so we ruled that one out。

那么，你会如何庆祝你大败末影龙的大胜利？你会建一个奖杯室，把龙蛋放在中心展示吗？还是把它扔进虚空，这样就再也不会有末影龙困扰这个世界？这并不是一个简单的抉择，但唯一能做决定的人就是你。

So，over to you。How do you celebrate your victory over the Ender Dragon？Do you build a trophy room and install the egg as the centerpiece？Or do you hurl it into the void so that no Ender dragons can ever plague this world again？It’s not an easy choice，but the only person who can make it is you。
