I’m standing atop(在……顶上) a very tall ladder, peer(凝视，仔细看)ing down through a haze(薄雾，雾气) of liquid nitrogen vapour into a giant stainless steel flask(长颈瓶，烧瓶) containing three smaller containers.
我站在一架很高的梯子上，透过液氮蒸气的薄雾向下看，一只巨大的不锈钢罐里装着三个较小的容器。
Inside the smaller wedge(楔形物，楔形块)s – which are labelled 005, 006, 007 – are three of Peter Tsolakides’ “patients”. The frozen bodies belong to people who, before their death, paid handsomely to be cryogenically frozen in the hope of one day being brought back to life.(这些冷冻遗体属于那些生前花大价钱接受冷冻保存、希望有朝一日能复活的人。)
在标着005、006、007的三个较小楔形容器里，装着彼得·措拉基迪斯的三个“病人”。这些冷冻遗体属于那些生前花大价钱接受冷冻保存、希望有朝一日能复活的人。
The ladder is inside a normal-looking shed in an industrial estate(工业区，工业园区) in Holbrook(澳大利亚新南威尔士州乡村小镇) in regional New South Wales. Next to the shed is a grassy block strewn(散落着，撒满) with several wrecked(报废的，撞毁的) Hondas. Across the road is the local fire brigade.
梯子放在新南威尔士州乡村霍尔布鲁克一个工业区里一间外表普通的棚屋内。棚屋旁边是一块草地，散落着几辆报废的本田车。马路对面是当地消防队。
