Although a little lidocaine would be nice.

过来点卡因倒是错。

Medications like lidocaine or Xylocaine, which you typically get at the dentist or for some minor procedures, basically block the opening of voltage-gated sodium ions, which means that you can't really have those action potentials spread.

卡因或昔洛卡因这样的药物，通常会在牙医那里或一些小手术中使用到，基本上阻止了电压门控钠离子的开放，这意味着你无法动作电位扩散。

Scientists think it might retain some of it's lidocaine-like ability and block ion channels to create its super bitter taste.

科学家们认为或许保留有一些和卡因类似的能力，并阻止离子通道产生超级苦涩的味道。

It isn't a better numbing agent, but it does bind a different family of proteins better than lidocaine does: taste receptors.

是一种更有效的麻醉剂，但确实含有一组同但比卡因更好的蛋白家族：味觉感受器。

Since lidocaine is incredibly useful, the drug researchers were trying to see if they could find something similar that worked even better.

既然卡因超级有用，药品研究人员就想试一试能否找到比更有效的类似物质。

They're telling us that drugs like lidocaine can help potential patients with breast cancer, things that, you know, our brains would have never just, you know, gone to immediately.

他们告诉我们，卡因这样的药物可以帮助潜在的乳腺癌患者，这些信息，你知道，我们的大脑可能永远会立即想到。
