  在端粒研究中，下一个是什么？是否我们将会一直听到许多关于某种东西的谈论？

• The discoveries had a major impact within the scientific community, and many scientists speculate that telomere shortening could be the reason for ageing.

  这些发现在科学界内产生了重大影响，许多科学家推测，端粒缩短可能是人类衰老的原因。

• What he found surprised him. Not only did counselling stop telomere shrinkage, it actually promoted telomere growth.

  研究发现令他十分惊讶：咨询不仅阻止了端粒的缩短，同时促进了端粒的生长。

• Scientists studying 20-year-old blood samples from 143 people show that telomere length is good indicator of whether someone is likely to live for 15 years or more once they reach 60.

  科学家从对143个20岁的血液样本的研究中得出：人们达到60岁后是否还能活15年甚至更多？端粒能够很好地对此作出预测。

• In a significant breakthrough, the team successfully identified that a particular gene sequence was associated with differences in telomere length between individuals.

  该团队取得了突破性的成功，他们确定了个体身上有个基因序列与端粒的长短密切相关。

• In this way, the telomere ACTS like a biological fuse.

  端粒就是以这种方式扮演着生物保险丝的角色。

• We can detect very small differences in telomere length and it is a very simple and fast technique where many samples can be analysed at the same time.

  我们能够探测到端粒长度的差异，这是一个很简单而且快速的技术：很多样本能够同时检验，更重要的是，我们能够判断出那些是危险的端粒？

  此外，不仅仅是父亲的端粒长度与其子孙后代的端粒长度相关，而且他们与孩子之间的寿命也相关。

• Moreover, the age at which men and women became parents also influenced their offspring」s average telomere length: the older the parents, the longer the offspring's telomeres.

  而且，父母在开始做父母时的年龄同样影响着他们后代端粒的平均长度：其年龄越大，后代的端粒就越长。

• The test gives an indication of ageing within population groups, but does not accurately measure the life expectancy of an individual, because of natural differences in telomere length.

  这项测试给出了关于人群组的老化的印证，但是却没有因染色体端粒的自然差异，确切的测量出一个人的预期寿命。
