Yuan long ping(袁隆平)

上周也就是 2021年5月22日下午,一代杂交水稻🌾之父-袁隆平去世,享年91岁。袁隆平一直存在我们孩童时代,从各个课本以及新闻都能够看到袁隆平的影子。自从我懂事以来我没有吃过杂交稻,但是我们的父母爷爷辈对杂交稻非常熟悉,因为杂交稻在和平年代不好吃,但是在饥荒年代可是宝贝,量产大,能够养活千千万万的老百姓,让老百姓肚子里有温饱的感觉,才能去做一些其他的事情,当肚子具有饱腹感,中国人才能站起来才能进行基础设施的建造。这一期的经济学人专门有一个篇幅讲解了袁隆平,我将这些整理起来,希望永远记着袁隆平的贡献,不浪费粮食就是最大的尊重,希望自己也能够对社会有一些小小的贡献,那么一生也是值得的了。

To feed the world(喂饱了整个世界)

Yuan Longping, developer of hybrid rice, died on May 22nd, aged 90

He was wandering in a ricefield of dreams. The plants were tall as sorghum, taller than a man. Their panicles hung full as brooms, and each grain was as big as a peanut. After walking a while he lay down in the leaf­-shade with a friend, quite hidden. A rest was a good idea, because the wonder-­plants went on and on. In fact, they covered the world.

他一直在追求稻的梦想。这些植物和高粱一样高,比人高。它们的碎粒和扫帚一样饱满,同时每一个粒和花生一样大。当他探索一段时间后,悄悄地站在叶子旁边,休息是一个很好的方法,因为这个探索工作一直在进行中,实际上,它们已经覆盖率了整个世界。

Outside the funeral home in Changsha on the day after his death, crowds came to lay a mountain of yellow and white chry­ santhemums. Several of the mourners said that whenever they sat down to a meal, or merely smelled the fragrance of rice, they would remember “Grandfather Yuan”. Among the flowers were the traditional bowls of boiled rice, super­-food for his journey.

在袁隆平去世的后湖南长沙,大量的人送来白黄相见的菊花圈,一些哀悼的人说无论何时当他们坐下来闻到大米的香味,就会想起袁隆平-杂交水稻之父。在花圈周围是大量的传统的碗煮熟的米饭,超级大米对应着袁隆平的一生。

永远纪念袁隆平爷爷!
