TAKING INVENTORY: WATER BOTTLE
背包清点：水瓶
A refreshing read, guaranteed!
我保证，这是一篇令人耳目一新的文章！
*Glug glug glug*Ahhh... After a hard day’s mining, with the stone dust getting into your mouth, and your throat sore from screaming every time you think you spot a skeleton, there’s nothing like kicking back with Minecraft’s most refreshing item – the water bottle.
*咕噜咕噜*啊...经过一天的挖矿生活，一些石头的灰尘落在了你嘴里。当你每次遇见一只骷髅时，你总会因为尖叫而喉咙痛。那么没有什么比MC里的水瓶更心旷神怡的了！
Water bottles were added in version 1.0.0 of Minecraft, released in November 2011, at the same time as the potion brewing system. hich is no coincidence, because water bottles are a key first step for every potion in the game. In fact, that’s pretty much all they’re useful for, though they do make a nice sign for a potion shop if you put them in an item frame.
水瓶在2011年11月发布的1.0.0版本中加入，同时也加入了酿造系统。这绝对不是巧合，因为水瓶是酿造所有药水最基础的东西。确切的说，这就是它们的全部用途，用物品展示框来挂在药店门口也是不错的选择。
It’s easy to make a water bottle – just arrange three blocks of glass in a crafting grid to make a glass bottle, and then right-click on some water or a cauldron to fill it up. If you pick the latter, perhaps because you’re in the Nether and there’s no water around, filling a bottle will remove a third of the cauldron’s contents in one go. That seems like way more than should fit in the bottle – I guess the rest spills over the sides?
制作一个水瓶非常的容易——在工作台里放三块玻璃就能制作一个玻璃瓶，然后右键水或一个装满的炼药锅。如果你选用炼药锅的话，也许你应该是在下界，周围一滴水都没有。装一次水就会减少炼药锅里三分之一的水。这看起来似乎比放在玻璃瓶里的水多得多——我想剩下的都溢到了两边？
Your other option for getting a water bottle, if for some reason you really hate crafting (and if that’s the case then perhaps this isn’t the game for you), is to fish one up. With an unenchanted fishing rod, you’ve got a 1.2 percent chance of landing a bottle full of water, which is one in every 83-ish casts. Good luck!
如果你有一些原因真的不想用工作台合成一个的话（如果真的是这样，可能这个游戏不太适合你），那么还有一种方式——钓！如果你有一个没附魔过的鱼竿，你就有1.2%的概率钓上来一个水瓶。每钓83次就会上来一个，祝你好运！
Water bottles are pretty popular in the real world. Actually, that’s a bit of an understatement – more than 480 *billion* plastic drinking bottles were sold in 2016 across the globe, up from about 300 billion a decade ago. If placed end to end, they would extend more than halfway to the Sun – which is a very, very long way away. In space, no-one can hear you sip.
水瓶在现实中很受大家的欢迎。其实有点轻描淡写了——2016年全球共售出4800多亿个塑料饮料瓶，高于十年前的约3000亿个。如果把它们叠起来，就会延伸到太阳的一半以上——这是一条非常非常长的路。在太空中，没人能听见你在咽口水。
Once drunk, most of these bottles are thrown away, despite the plastic used to make them being very easy to recycle. Most end up in a landfill or in the ocean, where they’ll stay for centuries, possibly millennia. According to scientists who study plastic waste, by 2050 the ocean will contain more plastic by weight than fish.
一旦喝完了，它们就会被扔掉，尽管塑料瓶很好回收。大多数都会放在垃圾填埋场里面或者大海、海洋里，然后在那里停留几个世纪，或者几十个世纪。研究塑料废料的科学家表示，到2050年时，海洋里的塑料将远远超过所有鱼的体重。
So next time you finish a drink, keep hold of the plastic bottle and use it again. And again. And again. And then a few more times for good measure. And then recycle it properly so it can be made into lots more bottles for the future. Otherwise, in a few decades time, sentient plastic bottles will most likely take over the planet as the only remaining species. I, for one, welcome our plasticky overlords.
所以你下次用塑料瓶喝水的时候，尽量多用几次，然后再回收，再制作更多的塑料瓶。否则再过几十年，有些有知觉和灵性的塑料瓶会成为地球上最后的物种。首先，由我，请出我们的地球霸主——塑料。
