Mob Menagerie: Elder Guardian

动物园: 远古守卫者

A mob that gives you the evil eye!

向你投以恶魔之眼的怪物！

Exploring an ocean monument is not for the faint-hearted. As you approach its prismarine walls, you’ll be swarmed by guardians – hostile aquatic mobs, covered in spikes, which fire laser beams at intruders. But deep in the briniest corners of the monument lurks an even greater threat – one with the power to prevent players from destroying its home. Today, we’re getting acquainted with the ELDER guardian, the elder guardian, our mob of the month.
探索海底神殿一事并非胆小者所能触及。当你接近海晶石墙，你会被一群守卫者围住 – 水生的敌对生物，浑身遍布尖刺，会向入侵者发射激光。但在这神殿里，充斥海水的深处，还潜藏着一个更为巨大的威胁 —— 能够阻止玩家破坏他们家的力量。今天，就来让我们了解下本月的生物，更为长老的守卫者：远古守卫者。

Elder guardians were added to Minecraft in the Bountiful Update, way back in September 2014. This patch brought lots of new features for mapmakers, but it also added new stone types, rabbits, armor stands, and the ocean monument structure that the elder guardian calls home.
远古守卫者于 2014 年 9 月的缤纷更新中加入至 Minecraft。本次更新带来了许多针对地图制作的新特征，同时也带来了许多新的石头种类，兔子，盔甲架，以及被远古守卫者作为家的海底神殿。

Elder guardians aren’t as zippy as their young progeny – they won’t flee as you approach. Instead, they’ll turn their big, baleful eye towards you and stare. Before long, you’ll see a targeting laser which charges for a few seconds, going from purple to bright yellow. Once charged, the elder guardian will fire it and it’ll flash green and deliver up to 12 damage points. Pro tip: try to swim out of range while it’s charging.
远古守卫者远不像他们年轻的后代那样活跃 —— 当你接近它们时并不会逃走。相反地，它们会用巨大、凶恶的眼睛直勾勾地盯住你。不久，你会看见一束索敌的激光持续充能几秒钟，由紫色转变为亮黄色。一旦充能完毕，远古守卫者将会发射激光，激光会瞬闪变绿，并造成最高 12 点伤害。专业提示：在它充能时尽可能跑出射程。

You’ll also see that elder guardians are covered in spikes which extend when the creature is threatened. Hitting it with a melee weapon when the spikes are extended will hurt pretty bad, so try to either wait until they’re retracted or use a ranged weapon instead.
你同样会注意到远古守卫者全身覆盖尖刺，当它受到威胁时尖刺会扩张。倘若尖刺扩张时用近战武器攻击它，攻击者自身会受到高额的反甲伤害，所以最好等到尖刺缩回再进行攻击，或是直接使用远程武器。

Don’t try to dig your way out either – elder guardians will inflict Mining Fatigue III on any player within about 50 blocks, even underground, even if the player is invisible. This reduces attack speed a bit and mining speed a lot, making it almost impossible to tunnel your way out.
也不要试着挖出一条逃路 —— 远古守卫者会对 50 格方块内的任何玩家附加挖掘疲劳III的效果，即使是在地下，或是任何不可见的玩家。这会略微降低攻击速度，以及大幅度降低挖掘速度，让你几乎不可能遁地逃生。

Here’s Jens explaining how the creature was created:
让我们来听听 Jens 解释这个生物是如何创作出来的：

During the development of the ocean monument I had a problem. I wanted the pyramid to feel like a maze, so you have to figure it out to get the treasure, but the bad – and good! – thing about Minecraft is that you can just rebuild everything. So the solution would always be just to knock your way through. And I didn’t want to make the pyramid indestructible because that’s also not fun in Minecraft. So after a couple of ideas we decided to have a boss guardian that would have a spell effect that would slow everything down. That was why the elder guardian was added. Essentially it's just a stronger guardian and it has this spooky spell that like, pops up in your face. The reason I added it was to show the source of the slowdown effect and where it came from. I didn’t want to just add the effect, I wanted to show it as well. So I intentionally made it so that, this ghost thing that shows up in front of you? It’s actually there, so another player can actually see when you get it. It’s not just a screen effect. It doesn’t happen very often but it’s there.

在开发海洋神殿的期间，我有一个问题。我想让整个神殿感受起来像个迷宫，所以你要亲身摸索去找到宝藏，事情有好也有坏！—— 考虑到 Minecraft 是个能重建几乎所有东西的游戏，所以单纯的解决方案很可能是埋头挖出一通路。而我也不想让整个神殿不可破坏，这样就失去了 Minecraft 的乐趣。提出这么几个想法后，我们决定做出一个首领守护者，让它有着减速任何事物的魔法效果。这便是为什么远古守卫者会加入游戏。根本上来讲它是个强大的守卫者，有着幽灵般的魔咒像是，一瞬间突你脸上。我添加这个突脸效果的理由便是展示减速效果的源头以及来处。我不想只是附加减速效果，我还想展示出效果。所以我有意地这么去做，故意让这个鬼魂般的东西浮现在你面前。它就在这，所以其他玩家也能看见你中了这个效果。它不只是个单纯的屏幕效果，不时常发生，但也确实在此发生。

If you can defeat one, you’ve got a chance of getting some decent loot – including prismarine shards, sponges, and tide armor trim, as well as some random fish and some experience orbs.

如果你能打败一个远古守卫者，你将有机会得到一些不错的战利品 —— 包括海晶碎片、海绵、潮汐盔甲碎片，以及随机的鱼和一些经验球。

We know a fair bit about what lives below the waves on Earth, and no-one has found an elder guardian yet outside of Minecraft. Assuming that continues to be the case, the closest thing we’ve found is an enormous and mysterious creature called the Colossal Squid.
我们对地球的波涛之下居住何物有着相当的了解，且没有人在 Minecraft 之外发现过远古守卫者。假设以这个前提条件为出发点，我们现今所发现的最接近远古守卫者的生物，是一种巨大且神秘的生物，叫做大王酸浆鱿。

These strange creatures live in the oceans around Antarctica, and grow to at least 10 metres long and half a tonne. I say “at least” because we don’t actually know very much about them – catches are extremely rare, and even then it’s usually not adults that are caught.
这些奇怪的生物生活在南极洲附近的海洋内，且至少能生长到10米长、半吨重。我之所以说“至少”是因为我们对其并不是很了解 —— 人们极少捕获到大王酸浆鱿，即便捕到也通常不是成年态。

What we do know, however, is that they have the largest eyes of any known creature to have ever existed – and that’s where they share a kinship with the elder guardians. Colossal squid eyes have an estimated diameter of up to 40cm – making them up to twice the size of a standard bowling ball.
尽管如此，我们所知道的，就是它们的眼睛在已知现存物种当中是最大的 —— 这也是它们与远古守卫者有着“亲属关系”的地方。大王酸浆鱿的眼睛预估直径多达 40cm —— 是标准保龄球尺寸的两倍多。

I’m pretty sure elder guardian eyes are bigger than that. But it’s still impressive! Next time you go bowling, imagine an eye that’s twice as big, and then – if you haven’t fled in terror – how much easier it would be to knock over pins with it. Maybe this is why they no longer let me into the local bowling alley?
我敢肯定，远古守卫者的眼睛远大于此。但这仍然令人印象深刻！当你下次去打保龄球时，想象一个保龄球两倍大的眼睛，然后 —— 如果你没有在恐惧中逃跑 —— 用它来撞保龄球瓶会有多么容易。可能这也是为啥他们禁止我进入本地的保龄球场？
