1.Im going to talk to you today about my work on suspended animation. 我今天跟大家谈谈我对于假死的研究工作。2.Now, usually when I mention suspended animation, people will flash me the Vulcan sign and laugh. 通常当我提到“假死状态”， 人们会报以叹息和笑声。3.But now, Im not talking about gorking people out to fly to Mars or even Pandora, as much fun as that may be. 但是现在，我不是要把人 送到火星甚至潘多拉星球， 不管那有多好玩。4.Im talking about the concept of using suspended animation to help people out in trauma. 我要谈的是 利用假死 帮助创伤患者治疗。5.So what do I mean when I say suspended animation? 那么，当我说到“假死” 我是什么意思呢？6.It is the process by which animals de-animate, appear dead and then can wake up again without being harmed. 这是一个过程， 在此过程中动物不动了， 看上去死了， 然后却可以醒来，并且没有受到伤害。7.OK, so here is the sort of big idea: If you look out at nature, you find that as you tend to see suspended animation, you tend to see immortality. 好了，这里就要说说我的想法。 大家如果留意自然界， 会把 假死状态 看作是长生不死。8.And so, what Im going to tell you about is a way to tell a person whos in trauma -- find a way to de-animate them a bit so theyre a little more immortal 所以，这里我想说 是用某种方法让创伤患者 失去活力 这样他们就多少有一点可以长生不老9.when they have that heart attack. 当他们的心脏病发作。10.An example of an organism or two that happens to be quite immortal would be plant seeds or bacterial spores. 有一两种生物体 是有这种不朽的情况的 比如植物种子 或细菌孢子。11.These creatures are some of the most immortal life forms on our planet, and they tend to spend most of their time in suspended animation. 这些生物 是我们这个星球上最不朽的生命形式， 它们一生大部分时间 都处于假死状态。12.Bacterial spores are thought now by scientists to exist as individual cells that are alive, but in suspended animation for as long as 250 million years. 现在科学家认为细菌孢子 是活着的 单个细胞，但是在假死状态， 它们可以处于这种状态长达2.50亿年。13.To suggest that this all, sort of, about little, tiny creatures, I want to bring it close to home. 这是有关一种很微小的动物的， 我希望把实验对象拿到离家很近的地方。14.In the immortal germ line of human beings -- that is, the eggs that sit in the ovaries -- they actually sit there in a state of suspended animation
