Toads have permeable skins and would quickly die from desiccation out in the daytime heat.

蟾蜍长着透水皮肤，若是在白天高温下，它们会因为脱水而死。

In the beginning... yes. But not anymore. They've been starved to the point of desiccation.

刚开始...痛苦。但现在不会了。他们已经饿成干尸了。

I know you get desiccation in theory, Stefan, but in reality, it's much worse.

理论上，你会感到浑身干难忍，斯特凡，但事实却更加残酷。

Leaving aside the desiccation, he truly looks like he is merely sleeping.

抛开脱水因素不谈，他看起来真像是在沉睡一般。

Apparently, when attacked, the European alder spittlebug farts out a foamy substance that forms a protective jacket and could be beneficial for the skin because of its antimicrobial effects, protection against desiccation, and light absorption.

原来，当欧洲桤木沫蝉受到攻击时， 它会放屁释放出一种泡沫状物质， 形成一层保护外套。这种物质因为具有抗菌效果、防止干和吸收光线作用， 可能对皮肤有益。

In a study published this week in Molecular Cell, researchers found a group of proteins that probably protects them from desiccation, or being dried out.

在本周发表于《分子细胞》一项研究中，研究人员发现了一组可能保护它们免受干白质。

If desiccation is a problem, we know that under arid conditions, warming might have stronger effects, because it's going to compound this problem of desiccation.

如果干是一个问题， 我们知道在干旱条件下，变暖可能会产生更强影响，因为它会加剧干问题。

Deinococcus radiodurans can be found in both hot springs and Antarctic soil, survive desiccation, and is one of the most radiation-resistant organisms we know.

耐辐射奇异球菌可以在热泉和南极土壤中找到，能够耐受干，并且是我们所知最抗辐射生物之一。

But the too frequent result of their able and industrious pens is a desiccation of the living tissues of literature into a network of little bones.

但他们勤勉能干笔下，常常导致文学活体组织干，变成一个由小骨头组成网络。

You can also find these extremophiles hanging out in hot acid, or surviving desiccation in salt-crusted deserts.

您还可以发现这些极端微生物在热酸中徘徊，或者在盐结壳沙漠中幸存下来。

And if we expose them to just a mild desiccation, that they can withstand it much longer.

如果我们让它们经历轻微脱水，它们能坚持得更久。

And I actually think that the whole concept of thermal death curves is not only applicable to thermal stress, but I'm really inspired now to also try to do, for example, desiccation stress, right?

而且我认为热死亡曲线这个概念不仅适用于热应力，我现在真受到启发，还想尝试研究例如干应力， 对吧？

And we also see there, if we submit animals to a really severe desiccation, that they succumb really quickly.

此外，如果我们让动物经历极度脱水，我们也会发现它们会屈服。
