Indeed, his slim but strong body is just like that of millions of Chinese farmers, to whom he has devoted his life. 介词 “to + whom”引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词farmers。这里to被提到了关系代词前面。 事实上，他苗条但强壮的身躯就像他毕生为之奉献的数百万中国农民一样。 He has devoted his life to Chinese farmers. Para 2 Yuan Longping was born in 1930 in Beijing. His parents wanted him to ⑤pursue a career in science or medicine. However, what concerned him most was that farmers often had ⑥poor harvests and sometimes even had ⑦a serious shortage of food to eat. To ⑧tackle this crisis, he ⑨chose to study agriculture and received an education at Southwest Agricultural College in Chongqing ⑤pursue a career 追求事业 (n. pursuit 追求) ⑥poor harvests 歉收；收成不好 ⑦a shortage of 缺乏 ⑧tackle this crisis 解决这个危机 (pl. crises) ⑨choose to do sth 选择做某事 (n. choice 选择） ( ) 主语从句 ( ) 表语从句 Para 3 After graduating in 1953, he ⑩worked as a researcher. Yuan Longping realised that larger fields were not the solution. Instead, farmers needed to ⑪boost yields in the fields they had. How this could be done was a challenging question at the time. Yuan ⑫was convinced that the answer could be found in the creation of hybrid rice. A hybrid is a cross between two or more varieties of a species.

However, whether it was possible to develop a hybrid of self-pollinating plants such as rice was ⑭a matter of great debate. The common assumption then was that it could not be done. ⑮Through intense effort, Yuan ⑯ overcame enormous technical difficulties to develop the first hybrid rice that could ⑰be used for farming in 1974. This hybrid ⑱enabled farmers to expand their output greatly. ⑬characteristic n./adj. be characteristic of 是....特有的 ⑭ a matter of ... 的问题 ⑮ through intense effort 通过不懈的努力 ⑯ overcame enormous difficulties 克服巨大的困难 ⑰ be used for 被用于... ⑱ enable sb to do sth 使某人能做某事 表语从句 ) ( ( ) 主语 从句 ( ) 表语 从句 ( ) 定语从句 Para 4 Today, ⑲it is estimated that about 60 percent of domestic rice consumption in China ⑳is comprised of crops generated from Yuan’s hybrid strains, and his strains have㉑allowed China’s farmers to produce around 200 million tons of rice per year. Yuan’s innovation has helped feed not just China, but many other countries that ㉒depend on rice as well, such as India and Vietnam. Because of his invaluable contributions, Yuan Longping has ㉓received numerous awards both in China and abroad. ⑲It is estimated that...据估计 ⑳be comprised of 由...组成 ㉑allow sb to do sth允许某人做某事 ㉒depend on 依靠，依赖 ㉓receivenumerous awards 获得许多奖项 ( ) 主语从句 ( ) 定语从句 Para. 5 ㉔Given that Yuan’s hybrids made him quite wealthy, one might think he would have retired to a life of leisure. However, this is ㉕far from the case. ㉖Deep down, Yuan was still very much a farmer ㉗at heart. As a man of the soil, he ㉘cared little for celebrity or money. Instead, he made large donations to support agricultural research. ㉔ Given (that) 鉴于，考虑到 ㉕ far from the case 远非如此 ㉖ deep down 在内心深处 ㉗ at heart 内心里，本质上 ㉘ care little for 不在乎 Para 6 What impresses people most about Yuan Longping is his ongoing ability to ㉙fulfill his dreams. Long ago, he envisioned rice plants as tall as sorghum, with each ear of rice as big as a broom, and each grain of rice as huge as a peanut. He ㉚ succeeded in producing a kind of rice that could feed more people ㉛at home and abroad. ㉙ fulfill one’s dreams实现某人梦想 ㉚ succeed in doing 成功做... ㉛ at home and abroad 在国内外 ( ) 主语从句 ( ) 定语从句 ( ) His later vision for “seawater rice” became a reality, and potentially㉜ opened up nearly one million square kilometres of salty land in China for rice production. Even in his later years, Yuan Longping was still young at heart and ㉝full of vision, and everyone was always excited to see what he would ㉞dream up next. ㉜open up 开发，开拓 ㉝full of vision 富有远见 ㉞dream up 构思,构想 ( ) 宾语从句 $
