[...]111:That argument only applies if these notional immortals are also invincible, and therefore impervious to accident.2:But that is an odd definition, and not one that crops up very often, especially in scientific research into ageing.3:The holy grail there is simply to arrest the ageing process.4:Indeed, Mr Cave quotes an actuary who has estimated that the average “medical immortal” would persist for around 6,000 years before dying in a plane accident or a car crash or the like.5:And besides, boredom seems to be a non-problem: after all, if an immortal does ever get truly bored of his vastly extended life, there would be nothing to prevent him from ending it.

[...]111:只有在这些所谓的永生者也是所向无敌，因此不受任何事故伤害时，上述论点才能成立。2:不过这是个奇怪的定义，并非时不时冒出来的，尤其是在研究衰老的科研中。3:圣杯只是为了阻止衰老。4:的确，凯夫引用了一位精算师的话，据那位精算师估计，一个“医学上永生”的人平均大约可以活6000年，不过最终他会死于坠机，撞车等事故。5:另外，这种厌烦似乎不是问题：别忘了，若一个获得永生的人实在厌烦了自己没完没了的生命，什么也阻止不了他将其结束。
