  • Bill's always believed there's a prime cause of ageing and that if you look for it, you'll find it.
  • 比尔相信衰老是由某种主要原因导致的 如果你试图寻找 也许会找到它
  • I knew since I was in high school that there's got to be some kind of clock that's ticking inside of us.
  • 从高中起我就知道我们体内应该存在着像钟一样的东西
  • And it really frustrated me that nobody knew what this clock was.

  • Bill believes that the ticking clock is our telomeres.
  • 比尔觉得 这个时钟是端粒
  • This theory says that every time our cells divide, the tips of our chromosomes - called telomeres - become shorter.
  • 这个学说指出每次细胞分裂时 我们染色体的的尖端 叫做端粒 会变短
  • Eventually they become so short, they stop our cells dividing.

  • We can't produce new cells and so we age.

  • There's nothing we can do about it.
  • 对此我们束手无策
  • No matter how well we eat, no matter how much we exercise,
  • 不管我们吃得多健康 运动多少时间
  • no matter how much we do everything our doctor tells us to do, our telomeres still shorten.
  • 多么地遵医嘱 我们的端粒依然会变短
