Okay, so chondrocytes are important for the articular cartilage, got it.

因此软骨细胞对关节软骨非常重要。

Maintaining healthy articular cartilage is the chondrocyte's job, a specialized cell responsible for maintaining everything cartilage-related.

保持关节软骨的健康是软骨细胞的工作；软骨细胞是负责一切软骨相关事务的特殊细胞。

Whatever the initial cause of articular cartilage damage is, it gets the chondrocytes to start trying to repair the cartilage.

不管引起关节软骨损伤的起始因素是什么，都会有软骨细胞开始尝试修复软骨。

Along with articular cartilage, another important component of synovial joints, and where they get their name from, is the synovium, which along with the surface of the articular cartilage, forms the inner lining of the joint space.

和关节软骨一样，滑膜是滑膜关节的另一重要组成成分，所以得名“滑膜关节”；滑膜分布在关节软骨的表面，形成关节腔的内层。

Alright, so a healthy joint consists of two bones, each with its own layer of articular cartilage, which is a type of connective tissue that allows the two bones to glide against each other essentially without friction.

好，一个正常的关节由两块骨组成；每一块骨都有关节软骨在外层包绕；关节软骨是一种结缔组织，使得两块骨头能基本没有摩擦地互相滑行。
