Creating an exact copy of any of nature's designs is not an easy job - even for the experts. After all - no one can compete with God's touch. But scientists' progress in this area is still very promising. If they succeed with their plans, it will open the way for new possibilities in the world of medicine and technology.
创造出自然界设计的翻版并不容易——即使对专家来说也不是容易的事。毕竟，没有人能与上帝的触觉相竞争。但是科学家在这一领域取得的进展依然极具潜力。如果他们的计划获得成功，那将为医学和技术领域打开新可能性的大门。
