A massive underground detector aimed at understanding the mysterious ghost particles in our universe released its first major results on Wednesday.
一個旨在了解宇宙中神祕「幽靈粒子」的大型地下探測器,週三發布其首批重大觀測結果。

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory in China started collecting data in August with the goal of understanding neutrinos: tiny cosmic particles that date back to the Big Bang and whiz harmlessly through our bodies by the trillions every second. Yet they weigh almost nothing, making them difficult to sniff out.
位於中國的江門地下微中子實驗觀測站於(2025年)8月開始收集數據,目標是了解微中子:這種微小的宇宙粒子可追溯至「大爆炸」時期,每秒鐘有數兆個微中子無害地穿過我們的身體。然而,它們的重量幾乎為零,因此難以被探測到。
Scientists are hoping the detector will help resolve the longstanding mystery of how heavy each neutrino flavor is. They think two are similar in weight and that the third is an oddball, but they aren’t sure whether two are heavy and the other is light or vice versa. (AP)
科學家希望這個探測器可以協助解開一個長久以來的謎團,即每一種微中子「味」的重量為何。他們認為,其中兩種的重量近似,第三種則是個異數,但他們不確定究竟是兩種較重、另一種較輕,還是剛好相反。(美聯社)
whiz︰動詞,呼嘯而過、快速移動。例句:The bullet whizzed past his ear.(子彈從他耳邊呼嘯而過。)
oddball︰名詞,怪人、異類。例句:He has always been a bit of an oddball in the group.(他在團體中一直都有點像個異類。)
