对话中的必备词汇和短语
outlier
An outlier is a value or data point that is very different from the others, often indicating an error or unusual situation. In research, it helps identify problems like contamination.
异常值是一个与其它值或数据点非常不同的值，通常表示错误或异常情况。在研究中，它有助于识别污染等问题。
contamination
Contamination means something unwanted, like dirt or chemicals, getting into a sample or equipment, which can ruin experiment results. It's common in labs to prevent this.
污染是指不想要的东西，比如污垢或化学物质，进入样本或设备中，这可能会毁掉实验结果。在实验室中，防止这种情况很常见。
reagents
Reagents are chemicals used in experiments to cause reactions or test samples. Always check them for purity to avoid errors in scientific work.
试剂是实验中用于引起反应或测试样本的化学物质。始终检查其纯度，以避免科学工作中出现错误。
glassware
Glassware refers to lab tools made of glass, like beakers and flasks, used to hold or mix substances. They need to be cleaned properly to avoid contamination.
玻璃器皿指的是用玻璃制成的实验室工具，如烧杯和平底烧瓶，用于盛放或混合物质。它们需要正确清洗以避免污染。
blank
In lab tests, a blank is a sample with no analyte (the thing being measured) to check for background interference. It's used to ensure accurate results.
在实验室测试中，空白是一种不含分析物（被测物质）的样品，用于检查背景干扰。它用于确保准确的结果。
degradation
Degradation means the breakdown or wear of materials over time, like tubing getting damaged. In experiments, it can cause leaks or inaccurate data.
降解是指材料随时间推移而发生的分解或磨损，例如管子损坏。在实验中，它可能导致泄漏或不准确的数据。
residue
Residue is leftover material, like dried chemicals on equipment after use. Cleaning removes it to prevent it from affecting new experiments.
残渣是剩余材料，比如使用后设备上干燥的化学物质。清洁可以去除它，以防止它影响新的实验。
pinpoint
To pinpoint means to identify exactly where or what the problem is. It's useful in troubleshooting to find the exact cause of an issue.
Pinpoint 的意思是精确识别问题的位置或是什么。在故障排除中，它有助于找到问题的确切原因。
关键句型
需要记住和练习的重要短语
Have you had a chance to look at the latest data?
This is a polite way to ask if someone has reviewed recent information. Use it in professional settings to check progress without being direct. The structure uses present perfect 'have had' for recent actions.
这是一个礼貌的方式询问某人是否审阅了最近的信息。在专业场合中使用它来检查进度，而不直接。结构使用现在完成时 'have had' 来表示最近的行动。
Those levels are definitely an outlier.
This sentence identifies unusual data. 'Definitely' adds emphasis for certainty. It's useful in discussions to highlight problems. 'Outlier' is a key scientific term here.
这个句子识别了异常数据。'Definitely' 添加了强调确信的语气。在讨论中用于突出问题很有用。'Outlier' 是这里的关键科学术语。
Everything followed the SOP rigorously.
SOP means Standard Operating Procedure. This shows strict adherence to rules. Use it to confirm procedures were done correctly. 'Rigourously' means very carefully and thoroughly.
SOP指的是Standard Operating Procedure。这显示了对规则的严格遵守。使用它来确认程序已正确执行。“Rigourously”意味着非常仔细和彻底。

这表达了对原因的快速怀疑。'Immediate thought' 意思是第一个想法。它在团队讨论中 brainstorm 解决方案时很实用。
It's odd that it's only showing up in experiment B.
This points out something strange and specific. 'It's odd that' introduces surprise. Use it to note patterns in data. The clause after 'that' explains why it's odd.
这指出了某种奇怪而具体的事情。'It's odd that'引入了惊讶。使用它来指出数据中的模式。'that'之后的从句解释了为什么奇怪。
That specificity makes me wonder about something unique.
This suggests thinking deeper due to a detail. 'Makes me wonder' shows curiosity. Useful for scientific reasoning. 'Specificity' means being particular to one thing.
这表明由于一个细节而需要更深入思考。'Makes me wonder' 显示出好奇心。有助于科学推理。'Specificity' 意味着特定于一件事。
Sounds like a solid plan.
This agrees with a proposed idea positively. 'Sounds like' means it appears to be. Use it to show support in meetings. 'Solid' means reliable and strong.
这表示对一个提议的想法表示积极同意。'Sounds like' 意思是它似乎是。用它在会议中表示支持。'Solid' 意思是可靠和坚固的。
