命运号角

The three segments of this line relate to Ifs 1, 2, and 3. But the visual is a little misleading at first, because even though all three segments lie on the same line, they’re all representing different concepts:
下面画线句子表示条件1-3，乍看起来有点不对，因为画线句子放在一起也代表不同的概念：

§ The blue segment (If 1) represents the quality of your initial preservation.
蓝色代表你刚开始的储存。

§ The yellow segment (If 2) represents the capabilities of medical technology as time moves forward.
黄色代表之后医疗水平。

§ The green segment (If 3) represents the amount of time still needed to bridge the gap between the blue and yellow segments before they can finally connect to each other.
绿色代表蓝-黄之间的时间。

The idea is that the better you were preserved, the farther out to the right the blue segment extends, and as technology gets better and better, the yellow segment extends itself farther and farther left toward the blue segment. The green segment gets smaller and smaller as this happens, until eventually the green segment is no more and the blue and yellow segments connect—i.e. medical technology has reached the point where it can revive you.
你被保存的越好，蓝条越长，科技发展越快，黄条越靠前，那么绿条短到蓝黄挨到一起就说明医疗技术达到复活你的水平。

A lot of the key details about cryonics are centered here, so let’s talk about each of these segments in more depth:
很多关键细节集中在绿条，让我们更深地讨论蓝绿黄：

The blue segment—the quality of your preservation (which relates to If 1)
蓝-保存质量


The length of the blue segment corresponds to the quality of preservation. Or, put most simply, the fewer roadblocks there are between your vitrified state in the thermos and a fully restored and healthy you, the longer the blue segment is—because if everything that happens leading up to you being put in the thermos goes as well as possible, it goes a longer way towards getting you to Point B and means the yellow segment has to do less work on its end to be able to revive you.

蓝条长度对应于保存质量。简单地说，从你在容器里的玻璃化状态到完全恢复健康的你这段时间里，遇到的障碍越少，蓝条越长。因为容器里的你保存的越好，黄条需要做的事越少。
