“生化武器领域的吟游诗人捕捉到了前线的惊心动魄。”——前海军部长Richard Danzig。美国首次重大生物恐怖事件——2001年10月的炭疽袭击——向研究“hot”病原体的科学家们敲响了警钟，敦促他们寻找保护平民免受生物武器侵害的方法。在继全美畅销榜首作The Hot Zone之后的首部非虚构作品The Demon in the Freezer中，Richard Preston带领我们深入位于马里兰州Fort Detrick的Usamriid（United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases）的核心地带……

……出现症状。那些潜伏期短并且能迅速杀死宿主的病毒，往往会在扩散开之前就把疫情“燃尽”了。理想情况下，它最好还能在脱离宿主后在外界存活一段时间。1 - 理查德·普雷斯顿写的《冰冻柜里的恶魔》
…symptomatic. Things that incubate in short order + kill hosts quickly "burn the epidemic out" before it can spread. Ideally it also can survive outside of a host for some period of time as well. 1 - Demon in the Freezer by Richard Preston
凡是对这些话题感兴趣的人，都应该去看看《血疫》（讲的是最早几次包括埃博拉在内的丝状病毒爆发）和《冰冻柜里的恶魔》（讲的是几种生物战剂，特别是天花，以及它们被用于战争的可能性）。《冰冻柜里的恶魔》详细讲述了人类在自然界消灭天花的故事，……
Anyone interested in these topics should look into the books "The Hot Zone" (about the first filovirus outbreaks, including Ebola) and "The Demon in the Freezer" (about several biological agents, most notably Smallpox, and their potential for use in warfare). "The Demon in the Freezer" goes into the story of the eradication of Smallpox in the natural world,…
但我们其实并没有彻底消灭它。虽说放在现在看可能有点年代感了，不过你可能会喜欢《冰冻柜里的恶魔》，就是写《血疫》（一本关于埃博拉-雷斯顿型的通俗科普纪实）的那位老兄写的。
We haven't eradicated it though. I guess it's a bit dated now, but you might enjoy "The Demon in the Freezer," written by the same fellow who wrote "The Hot Zone" (a pop history of Ebola Reston).
……合成天花病毒据说相当简单。而且现有的疫苗有效保护期大概也就 5 年左右。我最近刚好读到了这个，他写的另一本关于埃博拉的书也很值得一读：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Demon_in_the_Freezer
…smallpox is apparently quite easy. Also current vaccines are only effective for around 5 years. I read about this recently, his other book about Ebola is worth a read too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Demon_in_the_Freezer
……针对研究本身的研究，而不仅仅是正在进行的研究，因为在这个领域武器扩散被认为非常容易。要复现这种研究，你根本不需要拥有制造核武器那样的资源。（编辑：改了个错字）[0] 理查德·普雷斯顿写的《冰冻柜里的恶魔》
…research than about the research being done, since proliferation is deemed very easy in the field. You don't need resources as with nuclear weapons to reproduce research like that. (Edit: typo) [0] The Demon in the Freezer by Richard Preston
……医学界专业人士撰写的关于天花的著作，这些书提出了疫苗无效的证据。# text-davinci-003 弗农·科尔曼博士的《天花疫苗：欺骗与悲剧》、理查德·普雷斯顿的《冰冻柜里的恶魔：天花、生物战与世界末日》、梅雷迪思·沃德曼的《疫苗竞赛：科学、政治与战胜疾病的人类代价》、以及《疫苗：饱受争议的……
