When blood pressure stretches arterial walls, that opens mechanically-gated sodium channels in these little receptors.

当血压拉伸动脉壁时，这些小受体中的机械门控钠通道就会打开。

Prolonged high blood pressure can damage arterial walls, mess with your circulation and ultimately endanger your heart, your lungs, brain, kidneys, and nearly every part of you.

长期的高血压会损害动脉壁，扰乱你的血液循环，最终危及你的心脏、肺、大脑、肾脏和几乎你的每一个部分。

Over time, the increased force of blood against the arterial walls can make them stiffen, leak, or rupture, while the heart itself may simply wear out from all the extra work it's doing to keep blood moving.

随着时间的推移，血液对动脉壁的增加会使动脉壁变硬、泄漏或破裂，而心脏本身可能会因为保持血液流动的所有额外工作而磨损。
