China’s ‘father of hybrid rice’ Yuan Longping dies at 90
SCMP
Yuan Longping, China’s “father of hybrid rice”, died on Saturday at the age of 90.
The Chinese agronomist was known for developing the first hybrid rice varieties in the 1970s and regarded as a national hero for boosting the country’s grain harvests.
The official Hunan Daily newspaper reported that Yuan died of organ failure in hospital in Changsha, the capital of central China’s Hunan province, just after 1pm.
There had earlier been some confusion about the state of his health, prompting state broadcaster China Global Television Network to issue an apology.
In 2019 Yuan was nominated for the Medal of the Republic, the country’s highest honour, for his contribution to China’s food security and scientific development of agriculture, as well as increasing the world’s food output.
In 2014, he said he was working with researchers on rice that had been genetically modified – a controversial technology but one that aimed to help China meet its agricultural goals at the time.
Earlier this year, he become an overnight internet sensation, after an account titled “Chinese Pioneer Yuan Longping” was set up on the short video app Douyin – the Chinese version of TikTok.
The account quickly attracted more than 15 million followers.
含注释笔记📒
一个发现，外媒写的是享年90岁，但是微博发的讣告都写的91岁，不过百科上写的也是90岁。我就按照英语里写的翻译。
China’s ‘father of hybrid rice’ Yuan Longping dies at 90
中国“杂交水稻之父”袁隆平去世，享年90岁
the father of sth
这个表达中英文是相通的：
the man who began something or first made something important
…的创始人；…的奠基人
Freud was the father of psychiatry.
弗洛伊德是精神病学之父。
The Chinese agronomist was known for developing the first hybrid rice varieties in the 1970s and regarded as a national hero for boosting the country’s grain harvests.
这位中国农学家因在20世纪70年代研发出第一个杂交水稻品种而闻名，被视为提高国家粮食收成的民族英雄。
词根agr(o),agri = 田地
联想记忆：词根agr 为什么有田地的意思呢？我们可以这样联想记住这个词根，我们知道词根ag-有“做，驱赶”的意思，r = er,agr 就是驱赶牛的地方→什么地方常常驱赶牛？那就是田地了。这是通过联想来记忆这个词根，下面才是词根agr 真正来源。
来源于拉丁语 ager 田地，看到该词根大家就会想到 agriculture 农业这个词了，但是它的同源异形词根 agri,agro及所构成的单词能熟悉的就不多了。实际上，它们三个词根都来自拉丁字根 -ager- 和 -agris-，其含义都与农业相关；词根ari,agro,acr,egr 为 -agr- 的变体。

organ failure 器官衰竭
Organ failure is organ dysfunction（功能紊乱；机能障碍；官能不良） to such a degree that normal homeostasis cannot be maintained without external clinical intervention. It is not a diagnosis. It can be classified by the cause, but when the cause is not known, it can also be classified by whether the onset is chronic（慢性的；长期的；习惯性的） or acute（急性的）.

Food Security vs Food Safety
英文当中有两个易混淆的词：“food safety”和“food security”。
两个词字面上很相似，但表达完全不同的概念。
food security指的是“粮食安全”，是关于所有人是否能得到足够且安全的粮食，以满足生理需求。
像以前的地沟油事件是属于food safety ，食品安全，指的是食品是否受到污染。
Example:
Food security has declined dramatically in many developing countries
粮食安全在开发中国家剧烈下滑。
This accident made me realize the seriousness of the food safety problem.
此次事件让我了解食品安全的严重性。
In 2014, he said he was working with researchers on rice that had been genetically modified – a controversial technology but one that aimed to help China meet its agricultural goals at the time.
2014年，他说他正在与研究人员一起研究经过转基因的水稻——这是一项有争议的技术，但在当时旨在帮助中国实现其农业目标。

我今天开始看《觉醒年代》了，同样的年纪，有些人满腔热血为人民，而反观我们现在，有着安逸的生活经不起一丁点风吹雨打。
袁隆平爷爷到生命的最后，依然关心的自己心爱的粮食，想着让所有人都可以吃上饭，这样比起来，我每天的患得患失实在是太矫情了。
我要努力创造自己的价值，不能做只知道吃饭的猪！
人活这一世，总该要有点贡献吧！！！
