Picture a large sheet of blue paper with white lines on it, spread out on a table: every measurement of the building is on there, drawn before a single brick is laid. A blueprint is the complete plan that something gets built from — and the word now names any such plan, including the one written inside a cell.

可以想成:桌上攤開一大張藍色的紙,上面是白色的線條,整棟建築的尺寸都畫在那裡——在第一塊磚砌上去之前就畫好了。blueprint 就是照著蓋出東西來的那份完整計畫;現在這個字也用來指任何這樣的計畫,包括寫在細胞裡的那一份。
