Thats one giant leap for humankind.这是人类的一次极大进步。A paralyzed man is back on his feet thanks to a newly developed spinal cord implant.归功于新的研发的脊髓植入物，一名中断男子的身体完全恢复了长时间。The groundbreaking technology, called epidural electrical stimulation, fills the gaps in damaged spines and revives the ability to translate neural messages from the brain to the spine, according to research published in the journal Nature.公开发表在《大自然》杂志上的一项研究称之为，这项开创性的技术被称作硬膜外电性刺激，它能空缺损毁脊髓的缝隙，完全恢复大脑将神经信息传输到脊柱的能力。

One of three trial patients, David Mzee, 30, is able to walk about a half-mile with his device turned on, and about eight steps when its off.30岁的David Mzee是参予试验的三名患者之一，他关上性刺激脊髓的设备后能回头约半英里，重开设备后能回头约八步。Mzee was previously told by doctors he would never walk again.在此之前，医生告诉他Mzee，他再也不能走路了。

Two other paraplegics who received the implant are also able to move their legs, to varying degrees, and their prognosis is promising.另外两名拒绝接受植入手术的截瘫患者，也能在有所不同程度上移动他们的腿，他们的肾功能前景很悲观。In a video published by the Swiss research institute Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, lead researcher Gregoire Courtine says that his team studied technology that allows us to stimulate the spinal cord as the brain would naturally.在瑞士洛桑联邦理工学院公布的一段视频中，首席研究员格雷瓜尔·库廷回应，他的团队研究出有的技术“能像大脑一样大自然地性刺激脊髓”。In addition to helping paralyzed people regain their ability to move, the device is also regenerating damaged nerve cells in the spine, the BBC reports.据BBC报导，除了协助中断的人完全恢复行动能力外，该设备还能使脊椎损毁的神经细胞再造。
