+第三十四篇 Batteries Built by Viruses （病毒电池）

What do chicken pox, the common cold，the flu，and AIDS have in common? They're all disease caused

1by viruses，tiny microorganisms that can pass from person to person. It’s no wonder that when most people

2think about viruses, finding ways to steer clear of viruses is what's on people's minds.

水痘、普通感冒、流感和艾滋病有哪些相似之处呢？这些都是由病毒引起的疾病。病毒是能够在人与人之间传染的微生物。难怪大部分人一提到病毒，首先想到的是如何躲避病毒。

34Not everyone runs from the tiny disease carriers, though.In Cambri

dge，Massachusetts, scientists

have discovered that some viruses can be helpful in an unusual way. They are putting viruses to work，teaching them to build some of the world’s smallest rechargeable batteries.

然而，并不是每个人都躲避这些病毒携带者。在马萨诸塞州剑桥市，科学家发现有些病毒能起到非同寻常的作用。他们使病毒开始工作，使病毒构成世界上最小的充电电池。

Viruses and batteries may seem like an unusual pair, but they're not so strange for engineer Angela

5Belcher, who first came up with the idea. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge，

she and her collaborators bring together different areas of science in new ways. In the case of the virus-built batteries，the scientists combine what they know about biology，technology and production techniues.
