Although a little lidocaine would be nice.

不过来点利多卡因倒是不错。

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.

像利多卡因或昔洛卡因这样的药物，通常会在牙医那里或小手术中使，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.

科学家们认为它或许保留有利多卡因类似的能力，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.

它不是种更有效的麻醉剂，但它确实含有组不同但比利多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.

既然利多卡因超级有，药品研究人员就想试试能否找比它更有效的类似物质。

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，像利多卡因这样的药物可以帮助潜在的乳腺癌患者，这信息，你知道，我们的大脑可能永远不会立即想。
