Some things in Minecraft, like seeds, are very small. Other things just look small because they’re far away. Until recently it was literally impossible to tell the difference. Luckily, in the first part of the Caves and Cliffs update, we added an item that can help. It’s the spyglass, and it’s our item of the week.
Minecraft 中有一些物品本身就十分细小，比如种子；还有一些物体只是因为距离较远才看起来小。在不久前，你是无法确切看出这类物体的具体分别的。好在，《洞穴与山崖》第一部分的更新带来了一样新鲜玩意，大大改变了这种情况。它就是望远镜，我们的本周物品。
Spyglasses make far-away things larger so you can see them more clearly. You can zoom in on anything, allowing you to see if that green blob on the horizon is a birch tree or a rapidly-approaching creeper. Useful!
望远镜可以让远在天边的物体看起来更大更清晰。你可以透过它看向任何物体，这样就可以看清地平线上的一个绿色小点是何方神圣了——也许不过是一棵白桦，也许会是一只拔腿向你跑来的苦力怕。非常有用！
You’re probably wondering how to get one. Well, you’re going to need to make it. Get yourself some copper ingots, by smelting raw copper, and then vertically combine two of them in a crafting bench with a shard of amethyst to act as a lens. If you get the recipe right, a spyglass will be yours.
你可能会好奇这宝贝该上哪找呢？嗨，自己动手丰衣足食嘛。首先你需要烧炼粗铜来获得一些铜锭，然后在工作台中把它们垂直摆放，最后添上一块紫水晶碎片作镜片。配方弄对了，你的专属望远镜就诞生啦。
Interestingly, the spyglass actually has a slightly different effect depending on what field-of-view (FOV) your game is set to on the options screen. By default, Java edition has a FOV of 70° and Bedrock edition has a slightly-more-zoomed-in FOV of 60°, but that can be changed to whatever you want. Whatever it’s set to, a spyglass will give you a tenth of it, creating a zoom effect.
有趣的是，望远镜的实际效果依选项屏幕中设定的游戏视场角（FOV）会有所不同。默认情况下，Java 版的视场角为 70°；基岩版则窄一些，为 60°，这个数值可自行更改。但无论如何，望远镜总是会提供十分之一视场角的缩放效果。
In the real world, no-one’s exactly sure who invented the spyglass. The earliest written record we have is from a patent application filed by spectacle-maker Hans Lippershey in the Netherlands in 1608, which wasn’t granted because another inventor filed a similar patent a few weeks later, and so the judge figured that everyone knew about it already.
现实世界中的望远镜是谁发明的？答案无人知晓。现存最早的文字记载是荷兰眼镜商 Hans Lippershey 于 1608 年提交的专利申请，但由于几星期后有发明者也提交了相似的专利申请[1]，Hans Lippershey 因此没有获得专利权。最后法官决定消除事端一视同仁，裁定望远镜的制作方法已经人尽皆知了。[2]
Nonetheless, word of Lippershey’s patent application spread across Europe and reached astronomer Galileo Galilei, who refined the design substantially in the next few years – taking it from 3x magnification to 8x, and then an impressive 23x. With this 23x telescope, he discovered the moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, and the rotation of the Sun.
尽管如此，Lippershey 的专利申请还是传遍了欧洲，也传到了天文学家伽利略的耳朵里。他在几年间大幅改进了望远镜的设计，从 3 倍变焦增加到 8 倍变焦，而后又增加到惊人的 23 倍。靠着这架望远镜，他发现了木星的卫星、金星的相位以及太阳的自转。
Why did we name it “spyglass”? Because Minecraft dev Felix Jones wanted to be a pirate! Above: an example of how stained glass caused rendering issues when looking through the spyglass. Poor sheep!
为什么我们要叫它“spyglass”[3]？因为 Minecraft 开发者 Felix Jones 就想着当个海盗！上图：透过望远镜看向染色玻璃时引发渲染漏洞的例子。好惨一只羊！
Today, our telescopes are much more powerful. So powerful, in fact, that we need to blast them into space because our dusty atmosphere limits what we can see. On 25 December 2021, the most advanced space telescope ever built was launched aboard a rocket from French Guiana. The James Webb Space Telescope, as it’s known, will send back images of stars up to 13.3 billion light-years from Earth – right on the edge of the visible Universe.
如今的望远镜则更强大了。强到什么程度呢？我们要把它发射进太空来执行观测了，因为我们星球的大气满是尘埃，限制了能获取到的信息。2021 年 12 月 25 日，有史以来最先进的望远镜在法属圭亚那搭乘火箭升空。据了解，詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜（James Webb Space Telescope）将传回距离地球最远可达 133 亿光年的恒星图像——这已经是我们能看到的最深的宇宙了。[4]
No one’s ever explored what’s beyond the atmosphere of the Overworld in Minecraft. So point your spyglass upward when night falls, and let us know what you see.
还没人探索过 Minecraft 主世界的大气层外有些什么。那么，试着在夜幕降临时把望远镜对准那片星辰大海吧，也请告诉我们你的发现。
