They're looking for bio-markers in patients' blood and saliva that show inflammation — a sign that the immune system is in overdrive.
研究人员正在病人的血液及唾液中寻找能显示炎症的生物标志物—炎症是免疫系反应过度的表现。
overdrive: state of excessive activity
超负荷运转

And until now, all of those flights have been coordinated by a group of controllers who look out of these windows here.
此前，所有航班都是由这组空中交通指挥员通过观察窗外的情况来协调管制的。
But in the future, those windows are going to be replaced by these high-definition TV screens — controllers won’t just see the airport
然而今后，那些窗户会被高清显示屏取代，指挥员们从此不但可以看到机场
they’ll be able to hear it as well.
而且还能听到各处的情况。
The thing is, this digital control tower is 120 miles away from the airport.
重要的是，这座数字管制塔台距机场120英里（约193公里）远。
