So it was thanks to their plentiful telomerase that our pond scum critters never got old.

因此， 正是由于丰富的端粒酶，我的池塘浮渣不会变老。

But when we analyze the cells chemically we find something very interesting, a chemical in them, an enzyme called telomerase.

但是当我对细胞进化学分析时， 我发现了一些非常有趣的东西，中的一种化学质， 一种叫做端粒酶的酶。

And when we removed our pond scum's telomerase, their telomeres ran down and they died.

当我去除池塘浮渣的端粒酶时，的端粒就会流失并死亡。

And in the future we may have virtually immortal nerve cells and immortal skin cells of whatever because of these chemical, telomerase can keep the telomere on the ends of Chromosomes from getting any shorter.

并且在未来，由于这些化学质，端粒酶可以防止染色体末端的端粒变短，因此我可能拥有几乎不朽的神经细胞和不朽的皮肤细胞。
