大家好，我们来自华润小学六年级6班，今天给大家介绍功勋人物——袁隆平。

Hello everyone, we are from Class 6 Grade 6 in HuaRun Primary School. Today, we will introduce the "the father of hybrid rice" Yuan Longping to you.

英雄事迹和生平简介

“我有两个梦想，一个禾下乘凉梦，还有杂交稻覆盖全球梦，水稻是我们国家和世界第一大粮食作物，民以食为天，食以稻为天，粮食能救一个国家，也可以绊倒一个国家，饭碗要牢牢在中国人自己手上。”

“I have two dreams, one is to enjoy the cool under the rice, and the other is to cover the world with hybrid rice. Rice is the largest food crop in our country and the world. Food is the first necessity of the people. And rice is an important source of the food. Food can save a country. It can also stumble a country. The Chinese people should grab the rice bowl  firmly in our hands.”

                                                             ——袁隆平

Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice in China, was born in Beijing in 1930. His ancestral home is in De'an County, Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province. Yuan Longping is a Chinese agronomist, known for developing the first hybrid rice varieties in the 1970s.

袁隆平，中国杂交水稻之父，1930年出生于北京。祖籍江西九江市德安县。袁隆平是中国农学家，因在上世纪70年代培育出第一批杂交水稻品种而闻名。

Hybrid rice has since been grown in dozens of countries in Africa, America, and Asia—providing a robust food source in areas with a high risk of famine. For his contributions, Yuan is always called the "Father of Hybrid Rice" by the Chinese media.

杂交水稻已经在非洲、美洲和亚洲的几十个国家种植，这为饥荒高发地区提供了充足的食物来源。由于他的贡献，袁隆平一直被中国媒体称为“杂交水稻之父”。

It was in the 1970s when Yuan achieved the breakthroughs that would make him a household name. He developed a hybrid strain of rice that recorded an annual yield 20% higher than existing varieties — meaning it could feed an extra 70 million people a year, according to Xinhua.

上世纪70年代袁隆平取得了突破，使他成为家喻户晓的人物。据新华社报道，他培育出了一种杂交水稻，年产量比现有品种高出20%，这意味着每年可以额外解决7000万人的吃饭问题。

His work helped transform China from “food deficiency to food security” within three decades, according to the World Food Prize, which was created by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Norman Borlaug in 1986 to recognize scientists and others who have improved the quality and availability of food.

世界粮食奖颁奖机构提出：他的研究工作帮助中国在30年内从“粮食短缺转变为粮食安全”。世界粮食奖1986年由诺贝尔和平奖得主诺曼·博洛格设立，用以表彰为提高粮食质量和供应的科学家和其他人士。

Yuan and his team worked with dozens of countries around the world to address issues of food security as well as malnutrition.

袁隆平爷爷和他的团队与世界上几十个国家合作，解决粮食安全和营养不良问题。

Even in his later years, Yuan did not stop doing research. In 2017, working with a Hunan agricultural school, he helped create a strain of low-cadmium indica rice for areas suffering from heavy metal pollution, reducing the amount of cadmium in rice by more than 90%.

即使到了晚年，袁隆平也没有停止研究。2017年，他与湖南一所农业学校合作，为遭受重金属污染的地区培育了一种低镉籼稻，使水稻中的镉含量减少了90%以上。

他是一位真正的耕耘者。当他还是一个乡村教师的时候，已经具有颠覆世界权威的胆识；当他名满天下的时候，却仍然只是专注于田畴。淡泊名利，一介农夫，播撒智慧，收获富足。他毕生的梦想，就是让所有人远离饥饿。希望每一个华润学子能学习袁隆平爷爷的精神，厚植家国情怀。为国铸剑，不负韶华！
