人体

In the early days of cryonics, the theory was that future medical technology would be able to fix this damage, along with curing whatever illness killed the patient in the first place.

在人体冰冻处理的早些时候，理论上是未来的医学研究可以弥补细胞的破裂，随同医治任何可以导致病人死亡的疾病。

But a pioneering field called cryonics could give some people two lives.

但是一个被称作人体冷冻学的新领域将会让某些人死而复生。

Only half of the complete cryonics procedure can be scrutinized today; the other half cannot be performed until the future.

当前只有一半的完整人体冷冻学程序可以详细检查，另一半可能要到未来才能进行。

But, the brochure warns, This scenario does not prove that cryonics can or will succeed.

但是，手册警告说："上述情景并不证明人体冷冻能够或者必定成功，但是它也许有助于对这一可能性展开讨论。"

If and when the medical technology allows, the winner, preserved at The Cryonics Institute of Michigan in the United States, will be revived to continue their life.

这也正是我们想传达给人们的关于杂志自身的讯息。到医疗技术条件允许的时候，被保存在美国密歇根人体冷冻学院的获奖者将被复苏过来继续生活。

This might sound like an improbable treatment, but the purpose of cryonics is to preserve the structure of life rather than the processes of life, because the life processes can in principle be re-started as long as the information encoded in the structural properties of the body, in particular the brain, are sufficiently preserved.

这可能听起来像一个难以置信的待遇，但人体冷冻学的目的是为了维护生命的结构而不是生命的过程，因为生命的过程在原则上可以重新开始，只要机体，尤其是大脑内的信息编码在结构性能上得到足够的保护。

The Cryonics Institute itself was formed in 1976 and a year later Ettinger froze his mother. In 1986 his first wife was placed in a tank, and last year his second wife joined them.

人体冷冻机构本身成立于1976年，而在一年之后艾丁格将其亡母冰冻起来。1986年他的第一任妻子被放置在槽中，去年他的第二任妻子也加入她们。

My topic is cryonics, because I happen to be the vice president of a cryonics organization named CryoCare, and I'm hoping the subject will spark deep, soul-searching discussions about life-and-death issues only a human can deal with meaningfully.

我选择的话题是人体冷冻术，因为我恰好是一个名为克罗伊尔关怀的组织的副*，而我则希望可以借这个主题引发若干深邃的、探求灵魂的讨论--那种只有人类才能够有效应对的，生死之类的话题。

At cryonics facilities around the globe, the dead aren't frozen anymore.

全球的人体冷冻办法中，遗体不再冰冻。

"Cryonics:The process of freezing and storing the body of a diseased, recently deceased person to prevent tissue decomposition so that at some future time the person might be brought back to life upon development of new medical cures."

"人体冷冻学：一种把近期病死的人的尸体冷冻储藏起来以防止组织腐烂的方法，以期将来某时当新的医疗方法发展后使他可能起死回生。"

In the negative and interrogative forms, of course, this is identical to the non-emphatic forms.

。但是，在否定句或疑问句里，这种带有"do"的方法表达的效果却没有什么强调的意思。

Go down on one's knees;kneel down

屈膝跪下。。。下跪祈祷
