| 1. | The result was the peculiar segregation of xenon isotopes we uncovered
结果就是我们所观察到，氙同位素的特殊区隔。 |
| 2. | None of the xenon isotopes we measured were the direct result of uranium fission
我们所测量到的氙同位素，根本都不是直接由铀的核分裂而来。 |
| 3. | This exercise revealed much about the timing of reactor operation , with all xenon isotopes providing pretty much the same answer
这个计算揭露了许多关于反应器运作时间的细节，而所有氙同位素都提供大致相同的答案。 |
| 4. | After my colleagues and i had worked out in a general way how the observed set of xenon isotopes was created inside the aluminum phosphate grains , we attempted to model the process mathematically
在想通了观察到的氙同位素大致如何在磷酸铝颗粒中生成之后，我和同事就试图用数学模式来仿真这个过程。 |
| 5. | But even if nature could miraculously create a similar process on a microscopic scale , the mix of xenon isotopes in the aluminum phosphate grains we studied would have been different from what we found
但是，即使大自然能奇迹似的在微小尺度创造出类似的过程，磷酸铝颗粒中的氙同位素组成也会和我们所发现的不同。 |
| 6. | Our key insight was the realization that different xenon isotopes in our oklo sample were created at different times ? following a schedule that depended on the half - lives of their iodine parents and tellurium grandparents
我们的关键性认知是理解到，欧克陆标本中各种氙同位素是在不同时间生成的，时程表取决于它们的母元素碘和再上一代元素碲的半衰期。 |
