Chapter 4

Chapter 4 All That Glitters Does Not Protect You from Piglins. But Gold Does! Eek placed a hand on the big skull made of moss. He was silent for a moment. Finding the right words, he took a deep breath. Finally, he began to speak. "We are all here to remember my good friend: the skeleton that you hit with arrows and swords until it died."

第4章所有闪闪发光的东西并不能保护你不受小猪的伤害 但黄金有！埃克把手放在苔藓做成的大头骨上。 他沉默了一会儿。 找到合适的话，他深吸了一口气。 最后，他开始说话了。 “我们都在这里纪念我的好朋友：你用箭和剑打到死的骨架。”

Ash was surprised at how positive he sounded —barely sad at all. He looked at the piglins, each seated in their own boat. "First, I think you should all apologize." "Snort!" "Uhh-snort?" "Snort-weh." "Very good!" Eek grinned. Ash was pretty sure the mobs were just making their normal noises, but Eek was happy anyway. "We do not need to be sad. You see, sometimes this happens. The

阿什惊讶于他的声音是如此的积极——几乎没有悲伤。 他看着小猪们，每只小猪都坐在自己的船上。 “首先，我认为你们都应该道歉。” “Snort !”“Uhh-snort ?”“Snort-weh。” “很好!”呀咧嘴一笑。阿什很确定暴徒们只是在发出他们平常的声音，但艾克还是很高兴。 “我们不需要悲伤。 你看，有时这种情况会发生。 的

skeleton is not really gone. It turned into something different. Like me!" Ash realized for the first time that Eek must have built the moss skull. He'd placed the blocks himself! Eek was an unusual Minecraft player. He was born inside the Minecraft world, so he didn't treat it like a game. He wouldn't use any weapons or tools except for his hoe, and he didn't think of mobs as monsters. "I will miss my friend. But now the skeleton has become this beautiful moss, and we can remember it as a hero that saved my life." Eek gave a little bow. Ash clapped. The piglins snorted in their seats.

骷髅并没有真正消失。 它变成了另一种东西。 像我这样的!”阿什第一次意识到苔藓头骨一定是艾克做的。 积木是他自己放的！Eek是一个不同寻常的《我的世界》玩家。 他出生在《我的世界》里，所以他没有把它当成游戏。 他不会使用任何武器或工具，除了他的锄头，他不认为暴徒是怪物。 “我会想念我的朋友的。但现在这具骨架变成了这棵美丽的苔藓，我们可以把它当作救了我一命的英雄来纪念。” 埃克微微鞠了一躬。火山灰鼓掌。 小猪们在座位上哼哼着。

"Good job, Eek." Ash smiled as Eek's avatar— he looked like a little villager, now in golden armor from the neck down—hopped over to her. "That was very nice. I've never been to a funeral in Minecraft before." "Po taught me the words!" Eek waited for her to get out of the boat. "I was simply repeating them. But…" Suddenly, he seemed bashful. "I know I was not supposed to go to the Nether alone." "I'm glad you're safe. That's what matters." Ash stood up and glanced around. Nothing but piglins—good. In the crimson forest biome, they would probably have to deal with hoglins eventually—and the fact that they wouldn't stop attacking just because they had golden clothes. "We should make a base around the portal, just in case. Have you seen the others?"

“干得好，艾克。”阿什笑了，因为伊克的化身——他看起来像一个小村民，现在脖子以下都穿着金色的盔甲——跳到了她身边。 “这太好了。我从来没有在《我的世界》中参加过葬礼。” “阿宝教我的！”埃克等着她下了船。 “我只是在重复它们。 可是……”他突然显得有些害羞。 “我知道我不应该一个人去地狱。” “我很高兴你平安无事。这才是最重要的。” 艾什站起来，环顾四周。 除了小猪什么都没有——很好。 在深红色的森林生物群系中，他们最终可能不得不对付霍格林——事实上，他们不会因为穿着金色的衣服而停止攻击。 “我们应该在传送门周围建一个基地，以防万一。 你看到其他人了吗？”

"They are not with you?" "No. I haven't heard from them today. Stay close to me." Ash started moving in a wide circle around the portal to see if anything interesting—or especially dangerous—was nearby. "Watch out for mobs." "Okay." Eek stayed right on her heels. "Can you not go see if they are in their rooms?" "Huh?" "You are all on Earth, right?"

“他们没有和你在一起吗？”“没有。 我今天没收到他们的消息。 跟紧我。”阿什开始绕着传送门转了一个大圈，看看附近有没有什么有趣的东西——或者特别危险的东西。 “小心暴徒。”“好吧。” 埃克紧跟在她后面。 “你能不去看看他们是不是在房间里吗？”“嗯?”“你们都在地球上，对吧？”

A hoglin snuffled nearby. Ash turned abruptly before it noticed them. "Earth is really big. And hard to get around. We live kinda far away, so it would take a while for me to go to their houses." "Oh." Eek sounded disappointed. "I thought you all lived in one big house." Ash laughed. "Jodi and Morgan do, but everybody else has their own house. And I'm the farthest away. It's kinda like…" Ash tried to think of what Eek would understand. "It's like we live in different biomes—I'm in the snowy tundra, and they're on a beach. Or they're in the Overworld, and I'm in the Nether—and we don't have a portal." "You should get one, then!" Eek said with gusto. They were almost done with their loop. As they climbed a hill behind the portal, Ash got a glimpse of something surprising: a bastion remnant! The dark stone structure rose up right on the other side of the hill.

一只小精灵在近旁哼着鼻子。阿什在注意到他们之前突然转过身来。 “地球真的很大。而且很难绕过去。 我们住得比较远，所以我去他们家需要一段时间。” “哦。”埃克听起来很失望。 “我以为你们都住在一个大房子里呢。” 灰笑了。“乔迪和摩根有，但其他人都有自己的房子。 而我离得最远。 这有点像……”阿什试着想想艾克会怎么理解。 “就像我们生活在不同的生物群落里——我在雪原上，他们在海滩上。 或者他们在上面世界，而我在阴间——我们没有传送门。” “那你应该买一个！”埃克兴致勃勃地说。 他们几乎完成了他们的循环。 当他们爬上传送门后面的一座小山时，阿什瞥见了一些令人惊讶的东西：一个堡垒的遗迹！那座黑色的石头建筑矗立在山的另一边。
