由“杂交水稻之父”袁隆平团队研发的第三代杂交水稻周一至周二首次公开测产。经测产专家组评定，最终亩产为1046.3公斤。请看本报昨日的报道：

The third-generation hybrid rice developed by Yuan Longping, the “father of hybrid rice,” and his team underwent its first public yield monitoring from Monday to Tuesday and achieved a major breakthrough in output.

The final yield came to 1,046.3 kg per mu (0.07 hectares), based on two plots of land in Qingzhu Village under the city of Hengyang in Central China’s Hunan Province.

Experts agreed that the rice has a stout stem, fertilizer tolerance, lodging resistance, large spike and more grains.

报道中的hybrid rice就是“杂交水稻”，hybrid

可作名词或形容词，指“两种不同种类动植物的后

代”或者“由不同方式提供动力的车、电厂”，rice就是“稻米”。例如：

A mule is the hybrid of a male donkey and a female horse.

骡子是母马和公驴杂交的后代。
