Speaking of the Minecraft 1.19 Wilderness Update, all you can think of is all-new content like Alli, Warden, DeepDark, and more. So do you know what kind of difficult process the birth of these new items "translated names" has gone through? Today we will talk about the "naming" of 1.19.
1, Allay Pleasant Spirit; Alaiallay as a "Minecraft" has never had a precedent of the creature, its naming is relatively difficult, Allay itself has the meaning of "lightening, making relaxation, making calm", combined with its characteristics of liking music in the game, so take a "Yue" word. The birth of the spirit word is because the yue ling itself resembles a state of an elf or spirit body. Thus, the spirit of Joy was born. The earliest common names are mostly light spirit, light from the original meaning, there is a light dexterity meaning. Nowadays, after combining the connection between Yueling itself and music, Yueling is also a good name.
2, Ancient City Ancient City; there have been many names about Ancient Ctiy, such as dark ancient city, deep dark ancient city, deep ancient city, ancient city and so on. Nowadays, "ancient city" can be regarded as the simplest way to restore the original meaning of "ancient, ancient, ancient". It should be noted that when we understand City, we can be more inclined to the concept of a city, an area with a defensive system.
3, Deep Dark Dark Domain: Deep Deep, Dark Dark, Avenue to Jane. But this is by far the most special group name of Minecraft. For example, this name does not sound like the name of a cave system, and the Deep Dark Domain does belong to the category of cave communities in Minecraft. Caves, lush caves, and deep dark areas belong to a type of cave system.
4, Boat with Chest transport ship: many people's first reaction should be, why not call it "box ship"? One explanation is that Minecart with Chest is not called a box minecart. According to the historical translation habits of Boat with Chest, according to the current translation logic of existing transport minecarts, it should be translated as "transport ship". However, this translation of the name, in fact, is also one of the more controversial at present:
The point of controversy among players is that the minecart in the transport minecart itself has a corresponding reference in reality, so there is no problem in calling the transport minecart. But the transport ship in reality can be more than one Size, large transport ships can be more than 100,000 tons, million tons of the level, the common scene of the term transport ship is not in a small wooden boat. Therefore, some people think that it is more appropriate to call a box ship, and the transport minecart keeps the original name unchanged, after all, the cost of modifying the old translation name is large.
But on the other hand, neither the box ship nor the transport ship will affect our understanding of this item. Just call according to their own habits, aren't creepers also called coolies and afraid? The Enderman didn't stop us from calling it Little Black either.
5. Warden Guardians: The Wardens have had a lot of interesting thoughts, such as track keepers, track hunters, and of course, wardens. So why did you end up choosing the guardian? Whether it is a trail or a hunting trail, it is taken from Warden's identification of the player's presence in Minecraft based on hearing and smell, this feature. Warden originally meant "guardian, warden", it was the person who guarded the ancient city, and then the word guard, in Minecraft you may think of "guardian" and "elder guardian" in the ocean. According to the past translation habits, as well as the original meaning of the guardian is naturally more appropriate.
Otherwise, Warden is called a Trail Guard, so does the Guardian of the Undersea Palace need to be changed to "Deep Sea Guard"? So eventually, the name Guardian was born.
6, Sculk hidden block, hidden screaming body, the birth of the hidden series of blocks can be described as twists and turns, the earliest we called it subliminal sound (sensor), considering that this block can detect sound. But when they came, they found that they didn't just rely on sound, but also had a sense of touch, smell, and so on. Therefore, there are later netherworld, ghostly diving, and ghost series, and now the name "hidden" can also be regarded as settling the dust of this series. Although I personally have been handsome by the name of "Nether", I have never had the luxury of hoping that Nether can join the game.
Speaking of which, it seems that the words "Gentetsu" and "Netherworld" that are more mysterious are absolutely impossible to appear in "Minecraft". On a whim, what would it be like to make a fantasy/fantasy version of Minecraft fully translated into its name? (emmm, I'm inspired again~)
