Chapter 4 P.E.: IT STANDS FOR PIGLIN EDUCATION! HONEST, GO LOOK IT UP. I'LL WAIT. Morgan needed answers, and Theo was his best chance to get them. "What just happened, Theo?" he asked. "And how do we stop it from happening again?" "I—I don't know," Theo stammered. "But you're the team programmer," said Morgan. "You understand computers better than any of us." "I still have a lot to learn," said Theo. He waved his headset around. "These are the highest of high tech. Even Doc doesn't understand how they work, and she created them!" "It's all right that you don't have answers, Theo," said Harper. She placed a steadying hand on his

第四章体育课：小猪教育！诚实，去查一下。 我将等待。摩根需要答案，西奥是他得到答案的最佳机会。 “刚刚发生了什么事，西奥？”他问。 “我们怎样才能阻止它再次发生呢？”“我——我不知道，”西奥结结巴巴地说。 “但你是团队程序员，”摩根说。 “你比我们任何人都更了解计算机。” “我还有很多东西要学，”西奥说。 他挥舞着耳机。 “这些都是最高级的高科技。 连博士都不明白它们是怎么工作的，是她创造了它们！”“你没有答案没关系，西奥。”哈珀说。 她把一只稳住他的手

shoulder. "But if you have any theories, now is the time to share them." Theo ran his fingers through his hair. "Well, as you all know, I've been keeping an eye on the game's code. Ever since the Evoker King transformed, there's been a hole in that code." "Right," said Po. "That's why we're trying to put the guy back together again. We're hoping that will fix the hole." "In the meantime, the hole is getting worse," said Theo. "It's getting bigger, and it's starting to warp other lines of code. It's like the whole game is mutating." He shrugged. "So my theory is that the Netherite Golem is somehow able to use that to its advantage. The game is

的肩膀。“但如果你有任何理论，现在是时候分享了。” 西奥用手指梳理头发。 “大家都知道，我一直在关注游戏的代码。 自从唤起之王变形后，密码就出现了一个漏洞。” “对，”阿宝说。“这就是为什么我们试图让这个家伙重新振作起来。 我们希望这能修复这个洞。” “与此同时，这个洞越来越严重了，”西奥说。 “它变得越来越大，并且开始扭曲其他代码行。 就好像整个游戏都在发生变异。” 他耸了耸肩。“所以我的理论是，尼日特傀儡在某种程度上能够利用这一点。 游戏是

changing, and the golem has some power over how it's changing. The golem is like a modder who's able to alter the code in real time… from the inside." "Then let's hope the golem doesn't cheat when it's testing us," said Harper. Po groaned. "Why does it have to be a test?" he asked. "Hey, if it's a test… then we can study for it," said Morgan. He grinned. "Which means I've got some research to do." The next day, during gym class, everyone was given free time to practice for their upcoming Field Day event. Harper and Theo ran the track, Po shot hoops, and Jodi worked on her throwing skills. Morgan was stuck on the bleachers. But that suited him fine. He had a lot of Minecraft reading to catch up on. The previous night, Morgan had loaded up his tablet with information about the Nether. He was determined to prepare for the golem's test. And he wasn't sure that he would be ready in time.

变化，傀儡对它的变化有一定的控制力。 傀儡就像一个能够从内部实时修改代码的制作者。” “那就让我们祈祷魔像在测试我们的时候不会作弊吧。” 阿宝呻吟着。“为什么非得是一场测试呢？”他问道。 摩根说：“嘿，如果这是一场考试……那我们就可以复习了。” 他咧嘴一笑。“这意味着我要做一些研究。” 第二天，在体育课上，每个人都有空闲时间为即将到来的野外运动会进行练习。 哈珀和西奥跑跑道，阿宝打篮球，乔迪练习她的投掷技巧。 摩根被困在看台上了。 但这对他很合适。他有很多《我的世界》要补读。 前一天晚上，摩根在他的平板电脑上装满了关于尼瑟斯的信息。 他决心为魔像的测试做准备。 他不确定自己是否能及时准备好。

Morgan had only been to the Nether a handful of times since it had been updated with new biomes. Once, while playing alone at home, he'd gotten hopelessly lost. Another time, he'd been surprised by a blaze and knocked off a high perch, and he fell to his doom. Of course, when you ran out of health in a normal game of Minecraft, you respawned. But that time, Morgan had lost all of his best equipment in the Nether. He hadn't gone back since. And now he had no choice. And he had no idea what would happen if he ran out of health in the strange version of Minecraft that the Evoker Spawn called home. "Skipping gym? I don't blame you," said a voice. Morgan looked up and saw Mr. Mallory, the media specialist. "Most days, I would rather read than play sports."

自从尼底斯有了新的生物群落以来，摩根只去过那里几次。 有一次，他独自在家玩的时候，完全迷了路。 还有一次，他被一场大火吓了一跳，从高处摔了下来，然后他就完蛋了。 当然，在普通的《我的世界》游戏中，当你的生命值耗尽时，你会重生。 但那一次，摩根在尼瑟斯失去了他所有最好的装备。 从那以后，他再也没有回去过。 现在他别无选择。他不知道如果他在Evoker Spawn称之为家的奇怪版本的Minecraft中耗尽生命值会发生什么。 “跳过健身房?我不怪你。”一个声音说。 摩根抬起头，看见了媒体专家马洛里先生。 “大多数时候，我宁愿读书也不愿运动。”

Morgan lifted his injured foot. "It isn't up to me," he said. "I'm supposed to stay off my foot. I hurt it when I was climbing a tree over the weekend." He thought about that for a second. "Actually, the climbing part didn't hurt. It was falling out of the tree that caused the problem." Mr. Mallory winced. "And that's exactly why I prefer books." He peeked at the screen of Morgan's tablet. "Although that book might give me nightmares. Is that a pig-man?" "A piglin," Morgan answered. "They're from Minecraft." "I thought so," said Mr. Mallory. "You take that game very seriously, don't you?" Morgan shrugged. "I'm part of a team," he said.

摩根抬起受伤的脚。 “这不是我能决定的，”他说。 “我不应该用脚走路。 周末爬树的时候弄伤的。” 他想了一会儿。 “实际上，攀爬的部分并不疼。 是从树上掉下来的，导致了这个问题。” 马洛里畏缩了一下。“这正是我更喜欢读书的原因。” 他瞥了一眼摩根平板电脑的屏幕。 “虽然那本书可能会让我做噩梦。 那是猪人吗？”“一只小猪，”摩根回答。 “它们来自《我的世界》。”“我也这么想，”马洛里先生说。 “你对这个游戏很认真，是吗？”摩根耸耸肩。 “我是团队的一员，”他说。

"My teammates count on me to know everything about the game."

“我的队友指望我了解比赛的一切。”
