命运号角

And this explains the divide between how cryonicists feel about cryonics and how the rest of us view it. The divide is for two reasons:
这就解释了冷冻专家和我们对人体冷冻法看法的不同。这个差异有两个原因：

1) Cryonicists view death as a process and consider many people who are declared dead today to still be alive—and they view cryonics as an attempted transfer of a living patient to a future hospital that can save his life. In other words, they view cryonics merely as an attempt to resist the overlord, no different than the way we view someone being transferred to a hospital in a different location which has better treatment options for their condition. Most of us, by contrast, view death as a singular moment, so we see cryonics as an attempt to bring a dead person back to life—i.e. we see cryonics as an attempt to defeat the overlord. When cryonicists see us cheer on a billionaire who fights cancer and shake our heads at one who signs up for cryonics, when they see us praying for someone in a coma and rolling our eyes at someone being vitrified—they see us being highly irrational.
冷冻专家把死亡看作一个过程，他们认为死亡后有一段时间是活着的，他们看待人体冷冻法就像转移活着的病人到未来的医院来救活他们。换句话说，他们只是把人体冷冻法当作抵抗君主的尝试，和我们看有些人为了得到更好的治疗转移到遥远的医院没什么两样。而大多人把死亡看作非常时刻，所以我们把人体冷冻法看作复活人的尝试，也就是对打败君主的尝试。冷冻专家看到我们为亿万富翁的与癌症作斗争而欢呼还有一致反对他报名人体冷冻，他们看到我们为昏迷中的人祈祷还有对他们被玻璃化的不屑，他们觉得这是极其荒谬的。

2) Cryonicists view death not as an all-powerful overlord but as a puzzle to be solved. They see humans as an arrangement of atoms and see no reason that arrangement should have to inevitably deteriorate if our scientists can just get better at working with atoms. So for them, trying to defeat death altogether is an obvious, rational mission to undertake. But most of us view death as a fundamental fact of the universe—a mysterious and terrifying shadow that hovers over all living things and that only a naive fool would try to escape from—so instead of cheering on the people trying to solve the puzzle of death, we scoff at them and laugh at them, as if they’re too immature to come to peace with the inevitable.
冷冻专家不把死亡当作全能的君主而是一个待解决的难题。他们把人类看作原子的排列组合，如果科学家可以更好的控制原子，那么排列就一定不会恶化。所以对他们来说尝试打败死亡是一个要承担的明摆着，理性的使命。但是很多人把死亡看作宇宙中基本原理，死亡是个神秘恐怖的阴影笼罩在所有生物之上，只有天真的傻瓜才会尝试逃脱，所以不该为解决死亡难题的人们而欢呼，嘲笑藐视，就好像他们太不成熟不能和不可避免的东西并存。
