1.Next, let's talk about the vacuole.

接着说说液泡吧。

2.A plant cell usually has one large vacuole, whereas an animal cell may have several smaller ones, called vesicles.

植细胞通常有一个大液泡，而动细胞可能会有许多较小的液泡，成为囊泡。

3.The role of the vacuole is to provide support for the cell shape and to store sugars.

液泡的作用是为细胞形状提供支持糖分。

4.Finally, plant cells also contain structures known as vacuoles; these are filled with a watery substance which contains dissolved sugars called cell sap.

后，植细胞还包含被称为液泡的结构；这些液泡中充满了含有溶解糖分的水样质，称为细胞液。

5.That way, the cells would use autophagy to send stuff to the vacuole.

这样，细胞就会利用自噬将质输送到液泡。机翻

6.Then the cell flushes digestive enzymes inside the food vacuole to start the digestion.

然后细胞冲洗食液泡内的消化酶以开始消化。机翻

7.And vacuoles are also more of a plant thing — they're fluid-filled organelles that maintain pressure in the plant cell to keep the plant from wilting.

液泡更像是植的东西——它们是充满液体的细胞器，在植细胞中保持压力，防止植枯萎。

8.While some animal cells have small ones, as much as ninety percent of a plant cell's volume can be taken up by the vacuole.

一些动细胞的液泡很小，而植细胞的液泡占细胞体积的 90% 之多。

9.The membrane pinches off into a little sphere called a vesicle or a vacuole, and voila—the substance is now inside the cell!

膜向内凹陷形成一个小球状结构，称为囊泡或液泡，就这样——质现在进细胞内部了！机翻

10.He reasoned that if the backlog of stuff didn’t pile up in the vacuole, the genes that were supposed to send it there had to be the ones that has been turned off.

他推断，如果积压的质没有堆积在液泡中，那么本应将其发送到液泡中的基因就必须被关闭。机翻

11.Vacuoles are basically storage tanks that the cell uses to hold water or other materials.

液泡基本上算作器，被细胞用来保水或者是其他质。

12.Vacuoles are often the largest organelle in a plant cell, and when plants do not get enough water, their vacuoles shrink, and the plant begins to wilt.

植细胞中液泡通常是大的细胞器。当细胞不能得到充足水分时，它们的液泡就会收缩，继而植枯萎。
