Furthermore, neutrinos carry with them information about the site and circumstances of their production: therefore, the detection of cosmic neutrinos could provide new information about a wide variety of cosmic phenomena and new information about the history of the universe.而且，中微子自身携带了一些关于其产生的地点和环境的信息，因此，对宇宙中微子的探测能够提供有关各种各样的宇宙现象和宇宙历史的新信息。5. The factors favoring unionization drives seem to have been either the presence of large numbers of workers, as in New York City, to make it worth the effort, or the concentration of small numbers in one or two locations, such as a hospital, to make it relatively easy.有利于公会形成的因素，看起来或者是大量工人的出现，比如在纽约，使得成立工会物有所值，或者是少量人在一两个地方的聚集，比如在医院，使得成立工会相对容易。6.
