1·Now, a new genome has been published of an exceptionally hardy tardigrade species.

现在，在异常顽强的水熊基因中发现了一种新的基因组。

2·And if the experiment works on a virus, they hope to move on to something that is indisputably alive: a tardigrade.

如果在病毒上的实验能够成功，研究者们希望进一步对真正的活物进行实验，比如熊虫。

3·The Tardigrade is almost dead in the cryptobiotic stage, other than the fact that it can revive itself from this state.

缓步动物门在隐生阶段几乎是处于死亡状态，除非它自己苏醒过来。

4·We had never heard of a Tardigrade, but supposedly it's one of the most resilient microscopic swamp-dwelling invertebrates and the inspiration for this private residence.

我们从没听说过缓步类动物，但据说它是恢复力最强的栖息于沼泽的无脊椎微生物之一，而且是此私人住所的灵感来源。

5·Because there is no water in the body of the Tardigrade while in a cryptobiotic state to aid metabolism, the Tardigrade cannot go through any physical changes (from self) while dehydrated.

因为在缓步动物的身体里没有水，而在隐生状态下恢复新陈代谢，又不能通过自身的改变来完成。
