Minecraft's new baby mobs killed the ancient builders.

Minecraft's 新的 baby mobs 殺死了古代的建造者。

關係子句

because of the flower that helps them stay young forever, which sparked their innovation and ultimately their downfall.

因為那朵讓牠們永遠年輕的花，激發了牠們的 innovation，最終導致了牠們的 downfall。

Welcome to Game Theory, the show that's feeling dandy and I ain't lying.

歡迎來到 Game Theory，這個節目感覺很 dandy，我沒在 lying。

Yeah, okay, that one was pretty terrible, but

嘿，好吧，那個真的超爛，但是

I just couldn't think of a good segue to talk about.

我就是想不到一個好的 segue 來聊聊。

It doesn't have a name yet, but it's centered on the adorable redesign they given to baby mobs.

它還沒有名字，但重點是牠們 adorable redesign 了 baby mobs。

Most people are super excited to see them.

大部分的人都超期待看到牠們的。

They mostly began comparing them to types of vegetables.

大家大多開始把牠們跟各種蔬菜做比較。

And while I do love me some adorable little guys, I just think it's gonna make me feel bad when I use my chicken meat farm.

雖然我真的很喜歡那些可愛的小傢伙，但我總覺得當我使用我的 chicken meat farm 時，心裡會有點過意不去。

Look at those little chicks just sitting there.

看看那些小 chicks 就這樣坐在那裡。

我只是會對此感到有點過意不去。

But there's one other problem with this idea.

We can't have them be cute and adorable forever.

我們不可能讓牠們永遠都這麼可愛又萌萌的。

Thankfully, Mojang saw this issue and so created another item that would solve it.

幸好 Mojang 也看到了這個問題，所以他們又做了一個道具來解決它。

A golden D. This new flower has the magical power to keep your baby mobs babies.

一個金色的蒲公英。這種新的 flower 有神奇的力量，能讓你的 baby mobs 保持 babies 的樣子。

但那為什麼我們還在講這個呢？

It's just an item to solve a problem and justify the update.

這只是一個解決問題的道具，來合理化這次的 update。

What else could there possibly be to say?

Well, loyal theorists, I'm here to tell you that what may seem like a random item added to keep your new adorable mobs young forever is actually packed with lore that this dandelion does more than just keep animals young.

嗯，忠實的 theorists 們，我來告訴你們，這個看似隨機加入，用來讓你們可愛的新 mobs 永遠年輕的道具，其實充滿了 lore，這個蒲公英不只是讓動物保持年輕。

It holds the secret that inspired something in the minds of our favorite characters.

它藏著啟發我們最喜歡的角色們心中某些東西的祕密。

An ancient race who built the structures scattered around the Overworld.

一個建造了散佈在 Overworld 各處建築物的古老種族。

And sadly, unlocking the secret of the golden dandelion would spell the beginning of the end for them, as their hunger for answers brought them to their doom.

而不幸的是，解開金色蒲公英的祕密，將會是牠們滅亡的開端，因為牠們對答案的渴望，將牠們推向了毀滅。

Am I about to do an entire Minecraft video based on a single plant?

我要為了一種植物拍一整個 Minecraft 影片嗎？

So wake up and smell the dandelions, theorists, and

所以醒醒吧，各位 theorists，去聞聞蒲公英的香氣，

let me show you why this teeny tiny little update has big implications on Minecraft's lore, understanding more about the ancient builders and their inevitable demise.

讓我告訴你們，這個小小的 update 為 Minecraft 的 lore 帶來了多大的影響，讓我們更瞭解古老的 Builders 以及他們不可避免的滅亡。

But before we can answer the question of how this dandelion can do all of that, we first need to answer the question of why.

但在我們能回答這個蒲公英為何能做到這一切之前，我們得先回答為什麼。

Why did Mojang pick a golden dandelion for this magical forever cure?

為什麼 Mojang 會選擇金色蒲公英來作為這個神奇的永保青春的解藥？

They don't just add things to the game willy nilly.

他們不是隨便亂加東西到遊戲裡的。

And so we need to figure out what that reason is.

所以我們要找出那個原因是什麼。

Now, we've looked at flowers a couple of times on this channel.

現在，我們在這個頻道上看過幾次 flower 了。

Sometimes we focused on the history and geographical locations.

有時候我們關注的是歷史和地理位置。

Other times it's about the science of the plants.

其他時候則是關於植物的科學。

This time I actually wanted to look at the symbolism behind these plants.

這次我其實想探討這些植物背後的象徵意義。

You see, all FL flowers have meaning and are used to convey emotions, messages and symbolic sentiments.

你看，所有的 FL flower 都有意義，用來傳達情感、訊息和象徵性的感受。

This is known as floriography, something you may be familiar with if you've watched our welcome home videos.

這被稱為 floriography，如果你看過我們的 welcome home 影片，你可能對這個詞不陌生。

By looking into the floriography of the dandelion, we can start to see the story being told by Mojang.

透過探討蒲公英的 floriography，我們就能開始看到 Mojang 所講述的故事。

The dandelion's meaning comes from its rapid transformation from a golden flower to the white seeds.

蒲公英的意義來自它從金色 flower 快速轉變成白色種子的過程。

The main thing it represents is change, aging and transformation.

它主要代表的是改變、老化和轉變。

Already this thing tracks with what we see in the golden dandelion.

這其實跟我們在金色蒲公英裡看到的意義是一致的。

Feeding it to baby animals prevents them from aging.

把牠餵給 baby animals 可以阻止牠們長大。

It's taking the golden stage of the plant at its most literal.

這是在最字面意義上，呈現了植物的金色階段。

Because that phase is supposed to represent youth.

It is youthfulness and when eaten can grant that eternal youth.

牠代表青春，吃下去就能獲得永恆的青春。

But if this is the meaning of a regular dandelion, why didn't they just use the dandelions that are already in Minecraft?

但如果這是一般蒲公英的意義，為什麼他們不用 Minecraft 裡已經有的蒲公英呢？

Because this new plant isn't any regular plant.

因為這種新植物不是一般的植物。

The golden dandelion isn't called that because it's in the early stages of its life cycle.

金色蒲公英之所以叫金色，不是因為牠處於生命週期的早期階段。

A golden dandelion in Minecraft cannot naturally occur.

Minecraft 裡的金色蒲公英無法自然生成。

It can only be made by crafting a dandelion with gold nuggets, which means something about that Gold is what is giving the dandelion this magical power of youthfulness.

牠只能透過將蒲公英和金塊合成來製作，這意味著金子賦予了蒲公英這種青春的魔法力量。

Fortunately, it's not just flowers that have hidden symbolism.

幸好，不只是花朵才藏有象徵意義。

Gold has many meanings across many ancient cultures and mythologies.

在許多古老文化和神話中，黃金都有很多含義。

Some of them would simply see gold as a symbol of abundance and wealth, like in Norse mythology.

有些人會單純地將黃金視為豐盛和財富的象徵，就像北歐神話一樣。

But almost all of them would connect gold to the gods and their immortal divine power.

但幾乎所有人都會將黃金與神祇及其不朽的神聖力量連結在一起。

Aztecs said gold was excrement of the gods.

阿茲特克人說黃金是眾神的排洩物。

Egyptian mythology claimed that gold was the flesh of the sun God Ra.

埃及神話聲稱黃金是太陽神拉的肉體。

But most interesting and the most similar to the symbolism of gold we see in Minecraft was from Greek mythology.

但最有趣、也最像我們在 Minecraft 中看到的黃金象徵意義，是來自希臘神話。

In Greek mythology, gold was a symbol of God like power, which makes sense to me.

在希臘神話中，黃金是神一般力量的象徵，這對我來說很有道理。

I know when I've got plenty of gold or money in the bank at least.

我知道我身上有很多黃金或銀行存款的時候。

I also feel like a God only for Valentine's Day to come around.

我也覺得自己像神一樣，尤其是在情人節快到的時候。

我愛我的妻子，別誤會我的意思。

But it's always sad to see that number go down.

但看到那個數字下降總是讓人難過。

Thankfully, my other long time partner, Chime is here to help.

幸好，我另一個長期的夥伴 Chime 在這裡幫忙。

Chime is changing the way people feel about their money, constantly adding features and tools to help you avoid the pitfalls of traditional financial institutions and help you bank smarter and do more with your money.

Chime 正在改變人們對金錢的看法，不斷增加功能和工具，幫助你避開傳統金融機構的陷阱，讓你更聰明地理財，讓你的錢發揮更大的價值。

For me, it was their High Yield savings account that really drew me in.

對我來說，是他們的優利儲蓄帳戶真正吸引了我。

They offer up to 3% annual percentage yield, which is seven times higher than the national average.

他們提供高達 3% 的年化報酬率，這比全國平均水平高出七倍。

APY basically means how much your money will grow in a year.

APY 基本上是指你一年下來的存款會成長多少。

So if you're earning seven times more than your savings, what takes you a year in a regular savings account will take about seven weeks.

所以如果你賺取的利息是存款的七倍，那麼在一般儲蓄帳戶需要一年才能達到的目標，在這裡大約只需要七週。

With Chime, your money isn't just sitting there doing nothing and actually growing.

用 Chime，你的錢不只是放著不動，而是真的在增長。

Suddenly you can afford that nice new set of headphones you were eyeing up, or that pickaxe from the local villager.

你突然就能買得起你肖想很久的那副新耳機，或是跟當地村民買的稿子。

Plus, Chime allows you to save any small scraps of gold you might not see, like rounding every purchase to the nearest dollar and putting those pennies into savings.

而且，Chime 讓你把手上零散的黃金存起來，像是把每次消費湊到整數，把零錢存起來。

They're also not going to try and steal that gold from you either, because they have zero overdraft fees.

他們也不會試圖把你的黃金A走，因為他們沒有任何透支費。

And best of all, Chime is offering you lucky theorists up to $350 if you open a new Chime account using my link chime.com game or scan the QR code on screen.

最棒的是，Chime 現在給幸運的理論家們，只要透過我的連結 chime.com game 開設新的 Chime 帳戶，或是掃描螢幕上的 QR code，就能獲得高達 350 美元。

You don't need gold to feel you need Chime.

你不需要黃金才能覺得你需要 Chime。

So thanks again to Chime for sponsoring this video.

But now let's get back to exploring what gold means in Greek mythology.

但現在，讓我們回到希臘神話中黃金的意義。

In many tales, gold was the symbol of divine and pure perfection.

在許多故事裡，黃金象徵著神聖與純粹的完美。

In the story of the golden apples of Hesperides, the primordial God Gaia gives Hera a golden apple tree as a wedding gift for her marriage to Zeus.

在赫斯珀裡得斯的金蘋果故事中，創世神蓋亞送給赫拉一棵金蘋果樹，作為她與宙斯結婚的嫁妝。

The tree is planted in the garden of Hesperides in the far western edge of the world, and

這棵樹種在赫斯珀裡得斯的園子裡，位於世界的極西邊，

the apples are said to grant the eater the divine power of immortality.

據說吃了這些蘋果的人，就能獲得神聖的不朽力量。

So right here we have a clear representation of what gold means to the Greeks.

所以，在這裡我們就清楚地看到了黃金對希臘人來說意味著什麼。

This is why the golden dandelion is able to keep babies young forever.

這就是為什麼金色的蒲公英能夠讓 babies 永遠年輕。

It's a form of immortality, eternal youth.

Gold is what grants the dandelion its power.

It also has another connection to the Greek myth of immortality.

它還與希臘神話中的不朽有另一個關聯。

Keeping baby animals young was the main feature that was highlighted for this update.

讓 baby animals 保持年輕是這次 update 強調的主要特色。

But there's something else the golden dandelion can do in Minecraft.

但金色的蒲公英在 Minecraft 裡還能做別的事。

Planting an oak, birch or cherry tree sapling within two blocks of a planted golden dandelion increases the chances of that tree growing a bees nest with bees inside it.

在種植的金色蒲公英兩格範圍內種植橡樹、樺樹或櫻桃樹苗，會增加長出蜂巢（裡面有 bees）的機率。
