每天一小段英语（38）

命运号角

Those fees aren’t nothing, but the whole life insurance thing, at least when it comes to younger people, pretty effectively ejects “rich” from our black and red sentence. If it costs the same as cable or a cigarette habit, you don’t need to be rich to pay for it.
这些费用和永生比不算什么，但是终生保险对于年轻人的好处再次否定了那段斜体字中的“土豪rich”。如果它只是你上网或抽烟的价钱，你就不必成为土豪就能被冻。

Step 4) Put on your bracelet and go on living your life
带手镯，继续活
Cryonics members are given a bracelet and a necklace, etched with instructions and contact info, and encouraged to wear one at all times, so if you suddenly die, whoever finds you will know to notify the company.
成为会员会得到手镯和项链，上面蚀刻了信息和联系方式，最好一直戴着，以便你一死就有人去通知冷冻公司。

Step 5) Die
死
Okay here’s where things get tricky. We think of the divide between life and death as a distinct boundary, and we believe that at any given point, a person is either definitively alive or definitively dead. But let’s examine that assumption for a second:
微妙了，我们清楚生死之界，我们相信无论何时，一个人不是或者就是死去，让我们想想：

Let’s first talk about what it means when a person is “doomed” from a health standpoint. We can all agree that what constitutes someone being doomed depends on where, and when, they are. A three-year-old with advanced pneumonia in 1740 would probably have been doomed, while the same child with the same condition today might be fully treatable. The same story could be said of the fate of someone who falls badly ill in a remote village in Malawi compared with their fate if they were in London instead. “Doomed” depends on a number of factors.
让我们从一个正确的立场想想“注定”对人的意义。我们都知道一个人的注定（生死）取决于他所处环境。1740年一个患有先天肺炎的三岁儿童注定死去，同一儿童同一地点的今天完全可治愈。同理，马拉维偏远小村子/伦敦重病之人的对比。“生死定数”取决于很多因素。
