When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Hello Gleyse, I tend to agree with Randy. Here "终止“ can be interpreted as "terminate" or "elimnate." The language is very technical, making it hard to understand unless you are working in this field. But the good news is, the English version of the report is already published on Nature. Here is the link to the whole article: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-82148-w.

As to the sentence in question, the authors wrote: "As shown in Table 2, the results of the neutralizer identification test for chlorinated disinfectants showed that 1 g/L sodium thiosulfate and 0.5 g/L sodium thiosulfate dissolved in DMEM maintenance solution were effective in terminating the residual toxicity of disinfectants containing 1000 mg/L of effective chlorine and 500 mg/L of effective chlorine, respectively, and that the neutralizer and neutralization products had no adverse effects on the cells and virus." I know. It's mouthful. Good luck with that, too :)
