(单词翻译)
As always, however, nothing was quite as straightforward1 as such a breezy description makes it sound. Meteorites2 are not abundant and meteoritic3 samples not especially easy to get hold of. Moreover, Brown's measurement technique proved finicky in the extreme and needed much refinement4. Above all, there was the problem that Patterson's samples were continuously and unaccountably contaminated with large doses of atmospheric5 lead whenever they were exposed to air. It was this that eventually led him to create a sterile6 laboratory—the world's first, according to at least one account.
