1.dark matter 暗物質
If the neutron star were near the centre of the galaxy, for example, and surrounded by an abundance of dark matter, then it would continue to accrete dark matter.
假如這個中子恒星靠近星系的中心,又被大量的暗物質所包圍,這個在中子恒星中央的稠密恒星將繼續吸收暗物質而逐漸增大 。
2.be made of 由...組成
Bread might be made of carbs, but everyone knows it's nourishing, so eat a little, he said.
面包也許是碳水化合物構成的,但每個人都知道它是營養的,所以他說,吃點吧 。
3.charged particles 帶電粒子
These charged particles will slam into each other inside a tunnel 30 kilometers – or about 19 miles – long.
這些帶電粒子會在一個30 公里長——約為19 英里——的隧道中相互猛烈撞擊 。
4.antimatter counterpart 反物質
So while an electron has a negative charge, its antimatter counterpart, a positron, has a positive charge and they annihilate each other when they get too close.
所以,電子帶負電,那它對應的反物質正電子就帶正電,并且它倆如果靠太近就會湮滅掉 。
