Block of the Week: TNT 本周方块:TNT
Go ahead, hit it! What's the worst that could happen? 去打它一下!难道它会吃了你吗? In 1863, a German chemist named Julius Wilbrand was playing around with some chemicals (side note: don't play with chemicals) when he created a new, previously undiscovered compound. He called it 'trinitrotoluene', and its bright yellow colour led him to suggest that it could be used as a dye. It took 28 years until another chemist, Carl Häussermann, discovered that it was also an impressive explosive. Did he discover this after dyeing all his clothes with it, then giving someone the deadliest hug of all time? Hopefully not! 1863年,名叫Julius Wilbrand的化学家在捣鼓化学品(附注:别乱捣鼓化学品!)的时候发现了一种全新的化合物。他将之命名为 “三硝基甲苯” ,并认为其亮黄的色彩非常适合做染料。一直到28年后,另一位化学家Carl Häussermann才发现三硝基甲苯同样也是一种烈性**。他是不是穿着TNT染的衣服和别人死亡拥抱的时候发现的呢?希望不是! Today, we know trinitrotoluene by its shortened form - TNT – a far catchier name for our Block of the Week! Tom always thought 'TNT' stood for 'Tom's Nap Time' which is just one of the many reasons why we don't let Tom write Block of the Week anymore. 如今, “三硝基甲苯” 以 “TNT” 为人所知。用这个简写来称呼这次的本周方块可比拗口的原名要吸引人的多。汤姆一直以为 “TNT” 是 “汤姆的小憩时间” 的意思,这也是我们不让他再写本周方块的原因之一。 TNT is probably the most dangerous block in Minecraft. It was added on 24 October 2009 alongside mossy cobblestone, obsidian and bookshelves, and initially you could hit it once to begin detonation and hit it again to cancel. In 2010 it became craftable, but since then it hasn't changed too much - mostly fixing bugs in the explosion physics. TNT大概是Minecraft里最危险的方块了。它是在2009年10月24日加入到游戏中的,一同加入的还有苔石,黑曜石和书架。最开始的TNT通过攻击一下来点燃,再攻击一下来取消。2010年时TNT成为了可合成的物品,之后便没有什么大变动了,大多是一些爆炸物理漏洞的修补。
Oh yeah – explosions! The reason TNT exists. When you give a TNT block a redstone signal, touch it with lava, or put it in the blast radius of another explosion, then it'll start flashing white. That's your cue to hightail it out of there. After 4 ticks, it'll explode with an enormous BOOM, shattering blocks nearby with a force slightly greater than that of a creeper explosion. 哦对,爆炸!这是TNT存在的原因。当你对TNT方块发射红石信号,使之触碰岩浆,或者将它放在另一个爆炸物的爆炸范围内时,它就会开始闪烁白光——这是叫你溜之大吉的提示。4刻之后,伴随 “嘭” 的一声巨响,TNT爆炸了。以比苦力怕强上一点的威力破坏周围的方块。 Another nifty little trick with TNT is that when primed it ceases to become a block and turns into an 'entity' - like a mob or an item. These have their own physics and can be pushed around - with water, for example, or even by other explosions. There are a whole bunch of imaginative design guides for cannons that fire TNT across the landscape that'll you'll find on the Minecraft wiki .
听起来很不错,但是TNT还有许多微妙的特性让你能解锁许多有趣的玩法。要是你点燃一个浮空的TNT,它会往下坠落。因此你可以在城垛上,把聚集在你城堡外的僵尸的脑袋全部炸开花。(但注意别把城墙炸出个窟窿)要是TNT掉进了末地传送门里,它就会在下次有玩家进入末地的时候爆炸,给你的朋友一个大大的惊喜!好吧,可能之后就当不了朋友了。。 Another nifty little trick with TNT is that when primed it ceases to become a block and turns into an 'entity' - like a mob or an item. These have their own physics and can be pushed around - with water, for example, or even by other explosions. There are a whole bunch of imaginative design guides for cannons that fire TNT across the landscape that'll you'll find on the Minecraft wiki . 还有一个TNT小技巧就是当它被点燃后,它就会从方块变成实体,就像其他生物和物品一样。实体有着自己的物理机制,并且能被东西例如水或其他爆炸物推走。在Minecraft维基百科上有一堆充满创意的大炮设计教程,能将TNT发射出去老远。 Finally, you can use TNT in all kinds of different traps. You can start with a block of TNT connected to a pressure plate, and get more complicated from there. For inspiration, check out a desert temple or woodland mansion, where you'll find a few blocks of TNT carefully squirrelled away. But tread carefully... those traps are armed! 最后,你也可以用TNT来做各种陷阱。你可以从将一块TNT与压力板相连开始,然后一点点复杂化你的陷阱。要是你缺乏灵感,去沙漠神殿和林地府邸里看看吧。在那里你能找到几个藏得很好的TNT。但是,注意脚下,这些陷阱能让你吃不了兜着走!
