时差N小时:基因"食谱"(下)

　　No matter what your cell was doing before, it willstop its healthy functioning and make only viruses,following the viral recipe until it runs out of rawmaterials. Then your once healthy cell bursts open,releasing new viruses to infect more cells. Cancer isanother problem that can develop through a cell’srecipe reading process. Each cell contain dozens ofgenes that regulate its healthy growth andreproduction. If these genes become damaged oraltered, the results can be dangerous. Instead ofgrowing in a healthy fashion, the cell grows anddivides at an alarming rate. A cancerous tumor is made up of cells like these, cells whosegrowth and reproduction genes are altered. So viral infections are caused when alienrecipes are added to a cell’s genetic cookbook, and cancer is caused by errors within your owngenetic recipes.

　　无论你的细胞以前做什么，它都会停止正常的健康功能，并按照病毒的基因谱并产生病毒，直至消耗完所有物质。然后你曾经健康的细胞破裂了，释放出新的病毒去感染更多的细胞。癌症就是通过细胞的基因谱来发展的。每个细胞都包含几十个基因，它们约束其健康生长和繁殖。如果这些基因被破坏或改变，结果就会很危险。细胞不会按健康的方式生长，而是以惊人的速生长和分裂。癌肿瘤就是由这样的细胞构成的，细胞的生长和繁殖的基因已经被改变了。因此，当相异的基因谱被强加到细胞的基因食谱中是，就会导致细胞被病毒感染，癌症就是由我们自身的基因谱发生错误而产生的。
