這位以種植第一個雜交水稻品種而聞名的全球農(nóng)學家出生于1930年農(nóng)歷7月9日。

他幫助中國創(chuàng)造了一個偉大的奇跡——，用不到世界總面積9%的土地養(yǎng)活了世界近五分之一的人口。

1949年，袁隆平報考西南農(nóng)業(yè)學院，開始了與大米的特殊關系。大米是中國人的主食，將成為他畢生研究生涯的焦點。

a discovery of a peculiar wild rice species by yuan in the southern island of Hainan in 1970 became the prelude of China ' s decades of hybrid rice reses

1970年在海南島南部發(fā)現(xiàn)了特殊的野生水稻，這是中國雜交水稻研究的幾十年前奏。三年后，他在世界上首次培育了三個系統(tǒng)的高產(chǎn)雜交水稻系：雄性不育系、維持系和恢復系。

Hybrid rice has since been grown across the country and farmers reaped incredible output after switching to Yuan's hybrid varieties.

雜交水稻已經(jīng)在全國各地種植，農(nóng)民在改種袁氏雜交水稻品種后收獲了驚人的產(chǎn)量。

(across the country在全國各地【throughout the country】；

reap [ri:p] v.取得(成果);收獲;收割(莊稼)；incredible a.令人難以置信的，驚人的；switch v.轉(zhuǎn)化, n.開關，閘；variety n.多樣性)

Hybrid rice recorded an annual yield about 20 percent higher than that of conventional rice strains-- meaning it could feed an extra 70 million people a year.

雜交水稻的年產(chǎn)量比常規(guī)水稻高出約20%，這意味著它每年可以多養(yǎng)活7000萬人。

From China to the world

從中國走向世界

While food shortages have long been consigned to China's past, Yuan, the famine fighter, has a much bigger ambition -- to save the world from starvation.

雖然糧食短缺早已成為中國的歷史，但饑荒斗士袁有著更大的抱負——拯救世界免于饑餓。

（while“雖然”，引導讓步狀語從句【though/although】；food shortage食物短缺；consign v.把……交給；famine fighter饑餓斗士， famine n.饑餓，饑荒【starvation】；ambition n.雄心，抱負 【ambitious a.有雄心的，有野心的】；starvation 【諧音：四大瘟神，“饑餓”是四大瘟神之一】）

Since the 1980s, Yuan's team has offered training courses in dozens of countries in Africa, the Americas and Asia -- providing a robust food source in areas with a high risk of famine.

自上世紀80年代以來，袁的團隊在非洲、美洲和亞洲的幾十個國家開設了培訓課程，為饑荒高風險地區(qū)提供了一個強大的食物來源。

（offer v.提供 【offer sb sth; offer to do sth】【offered, offering注意不用雙寫r】;【robust [r???b?st] a.穩(wěn)固的，強勁的，有活力的)

Globally, more than 820 million people were hungry in 2018, according to a UN report. And if hybrid rice is planted in half of the world's 147 million hectares of paddy fields, the additional yield alone can feed another 500 million people, said Yuan.

聯(lián)合國一份報告顯示，2018年全球有超過8.2億人挨餓。袁說，如果在世界1.47億公頃稻田的一半種植雜交水稻，僅增加的產(chǎn)量就可以養(yǎng)活另外5億人。

（Globally，放在句首作狀語；additional yield增加的產(chǎn)量）

Yuan's team has continued to make new breakthroughs. Yuan's team was invited to make a trial plantation of the saline-alkaline tolerant rice in experimental fields in Dubai in January 2018, achieving huge success. China's export of saline-alkaline tolerant rice and the technique has been eyed as a way to combat the world's food insecurity.

袁的團隊不斷取得新的突破。2018年1月，袁團隊應邀在迪拜試驗田進行耐鹽堿水稻試種，取得巨大成功。中國出口耐鹽堿大米和這項技術一直被視為解決世界糧食不安全的一種方法。

（make new breakthroughs取得新突破；tolerant a.容忍的，忍受的；achieving huge success取得巨大成功，非謂語動詞作結果狀語；be eyed as a way to被視為一種……的方式；combat n. /v.搏斗，防止；insecurity=in+security不安全）

From having enough to eat to eating well

從吃得飽到吃得好

Now the focus of Yuan's hybrid rice project has changed from increasing output to green and sustainable development.

現(xiàn)在袁家雜交水稻項目的重點已經(jīng)從增產(chǎn)轉(zhuǎn)向綠色可持續(xù)發(fā)展。

（sustainable development可持續(xù)發(fā)展）

In September 2017, a strain of low-cadmium indica rice （developed by Yuan's team and the Hunan provincial academy of agricultural sciences） was able to reduce the average amount of cadmium in rice by more than 90 percent in areas （suffering from heavy metal pollution）.

2017年9月，袁團隊和湖南省農(nóng)科院開發(fā)的一種低鎘秈稻品種，在重金屬污染嚴重的地區(qū)，能夠?qū)⑺局械逆k平均含量降低90%以上。

Yuan has two dreams:

袁隆平有兩個夢：

The first dream is that people can enjoy the cool from the shade of the rice which is strong and tall enough.

第一個夢想是人們可以在稻谷的蔭涼下乘涼，稻谷又結實又高。

The second dream is that the whole world can plant the rice he developed and all the people in the world are not hungry.

第二個夢想是全世界都能種上他培育的水稻，世界上所有的人都不餓。

Let's remember the great man.

讓我們記住這位偉人。
