The power of 3D printing continues to amaze us all, and now scientists have upped the ante yet again, creating a silicone heart that beats just like a human one.

3D打印的力量仍在不断带给我们惊奇，在科学家再次提高了筹码，创造出了能够像人类心脏一样跳动的硅树脂心脏。

The group, based in Zurich, posted a video of their model which even has a fluid pumping through the heart just like a real organ.

这个苏黎世研究小组发布了他们的模型视频，该模型甚至还能像真正的心脏那样推动血液流动。

The only caveat¹ with this amazing feat², is that it only lasts for 3,000 beats, and then the material gives out.

这个惊人的壮举唯一需要当心的是，它只能持续跳动3000次，之后材料就会消耗殆尽。

To you and I this may seem like a failure, but researchers say it's a major advance toward potential options when considering how to build artificial hearts, which now rely on mechanical parts that are prone³ to complications.

对你我来说，这次尝试可能看起来有些失败，但研究人员认为在人造心脏研发领域，这算得上是一次重大进展，或许真的能为我们提供潜在的解决方案，因为现在用的那种人造心脏采用的是机械部件，容易引起并发症。

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States,with people of all ages and backgrounds suffering from the illness.

心脏疾病是美国最为致命的疾病，患者覆盖了各个年龄段和社会背景。

An advancement⁴ in this field could provide relief to those patients, and millions more worldwide.

这一领域的进步可以为这些患者乃至世界各地的数百万心脏病患者提供帮助。
