嘿小夥伴們大家周三好
又到了我們「有益的閱讀」時間了
很多人反應並看不懂英文
但其實我們在每段後面都緊跟中文
小編的用意也很簡單
就是希望大家能接收來自世界不同的聲音
多多學習和提升自己
一次兩次看不懂也沒有關係
只要靜下心來堅持下去
多少總會有收穫的
今天這篇文章雖然是2017年的老文了
但我們知道這次的新冠病毒COVID-19
和SARS同為冠狀病毒科正冠狀病毒亞科β屬
其基因組序列與蝙蝠身上的
一種冠狀病毒相似度極高
SARS也曾經溯源到了蝙蝠身上
那麼作為冠狀病毒的天然宿主
——蝙蝠
我們在Minecraft的天然礦洞中
也是很常見的
當然
Minecraft中的蝙蝠可是中立生物
並且在遊戲中也不會
像殭屍那樣感染村民
傳播什麼奇怪的疾病之類的
今天就一起來認識一下
Minecraft中的蝙蝠吧

MEET THE BAT
遇見蝙蝠
A harmless mob that still gives us the creeps
儘管無害,卻還是會嚇到我們的生物
We've never really understood why criminals are so scared of Batman. Sure, he's a crime-fighting genius who could break every bone in your body for even just thinking about being a wrong 'un, but he's also a grown man dressed as a bat. We refuse to be intimidated by anyone who's costume includes a pointy-eared hat.
我們永遠無法理解為什麼壞人會懼怕蝙蝠俠。的確,他是一位與罪犯鬥爭的天才,甚至僅僅認為你是一位壞人便可以打碎你身體中的每一根骨頭,但他同時也是一位打扮得像個蝙蝠的成年男子。我們並不想被任何戴著獸耳的人嚇到。
Stick us in a dark cave full of Minecraft bats, however, and we'll be weeping in no time. The fourth smallest mob in the game (and the only one capable of flight), these black rats with wings spawn constantly and produce a squeak so shrill you'll wish you were deaf. Bats are actually no physical threat to you in Minecraft, an example of a 'useless mob', but that doesn't mean we can't find them creepy. And our last pickaxe just broke, so it looks like we're trapped in this cave full of them. Save us, Batman!
然而,要是把我們關在 Minecraft 內一個全是蝙蝠的黑暗洞穴中時,我們馬上就會被嚇哭了。作為遊戲中第四小的生物(並且是唯一會飛的生物),這些長著翅膀的黑色小傢伙會不斷地生成,並且產生刺耳的吱喳聲,使你恨不得自己是個聾子。Minecraft 中的蝙蝠實際上並不能給你帶來任何物理傷害,是「無意義的生物」的典範,但這並不意味著我們不會害怕它們。假如我們的最後一個鎬子剛剛耗盡了耐久,並且我們被困在了這個充滿蝙蝠的洞穴裡,快來救救我們吧,蝙蝠俠!
"An atmospheric mob is a mob that constantly spawns, similar to the Squid, but also constantly despawns, because when a player isn't around it doesn’t serve any purpose anymore. They're essentially atmospheric additions, but it was fun to make them, though it was tricky to make them turn upside down when they were standing still. People complain a lot about the noises they make - that squeaky noise can be very high pitched! - so they've been lowered in volume since release."
JENS BERGENSTEN
「環境生物指的是會不斷生成的生物(例如魷魚),不過它們也會不斷消失,因為如果玩家離得太遠了的話,那些環境生物就沒有存在的意義了。環境生物通常能夠渲染氣氛,而且做起來也很有意思,儘管讓蝙蝠不動的時候倒掛有些麻煩。玩家經常抱怨蝙蝠弄的噪音 —— 那些吱喳聲的音調太高了!—— 所以發布後我們把它們的音量降低了一些。」
JENS BERGENSTEN
This might be why our concept album Screeching FTW: The Best of Minecraft Bat Noises! didn't top the charts. But Jens has a point; spelunking without those squeaking, flapping rodents just wouldn't carry that same creepy cave atmosphere. Plus after fighting Creepers, Slimes, Spiders and all sorts of underground horrors, who doesn't want to cross paths with a harmless mob, one that only wants to hurt your eardrums? Feel free to share our cave, bats. All is forgiven.
這大概是為什麼我們的概念專輯《尖叫制勝:最棒的 Minecraft 蝙蝠噪音!》不受歡迎的原因了。不過 Jeb 認為:要是沒有這些吱吱聲,單純的齧齒動物並不能為探索洞穴帶來如此恐怖的氛圍。此外,打完苦力怕、史萊姆、蜘蛛和各種恐怖的地下生物以後,誰不想安全地穿過一條只有著無害的蝙蝠的礦道呢?畢竟它們唯一想要傷害的僅僅是你的鼓膜而已。隨便棲息在洞穴中吧,蝙蝠們。我們不計前嫌。
就像文章標題那樣
蝙蝠「儘管無害,卻還是會嚇到我們」
我想不僅限於它的叫聲
更多的還是因為它
歷來生活在陰暗潮溼的環境
以及總是被和「吸血鬼」綁在一起的原因吧
更多你對於蝙蝠的認識和印象
歡迎留言討論
我們下次再見
