Chinese scientists have achieved a record rice yield of nearly 22.5 metric tons per hectare, or 1,500 kg per mu, in an experimental field in Central China's Hunan province.
Assessment experts announced on Monday average yield at the field in Hunan's Hengnan county planted with the third generation of hybrid rice varieties reached 13.68 tons per hectare, or 911.7 kg per mu.
In July, early harvests at the same field growing another strain of third-generation hybrid rice showed an average yield of 9.29 tons per hectare, 619.06 kg per mu.

得知團隊破紀錄的袁隆平爺爺連飆英語,是不是好可愛呢?英文除了excited,還能怎樣表達“興奮”呢?
1. Be keyed up
Key意為“上發(fā)條” ,這個短語則表示“斗志昂揚”。
例:Thoughts of their vacation got the children so keyed up that they couldn’t sleep.
想到即將到來的假期,同學們是不是也興奮得睡不著覺呢?
2. Pump up
這個短語字面上是“給(輪胎、充氣墊等)充氣”的意思,這里是“給(某人)打氣,使興奮”的意思。
例:The coach made a speech to pump up his players.
教練講了一段話,給隊員們打氣。
3. Be carried away
有的時候一興奮就容易忘乎所以。
例:The match was so wonderful that he was totally carried away.
比賽太精彩了,讓他激動不已。
4. Thrilled
如果覺得光用excited還不夠表達你“興奮”的心情,那就用thrilled吧,它是very excited的意思。
例:She's thrilled that her brother and best friend are tying the knot.
她很興奮,因為哥哥和她的閨蜜結婚了。
5. A shot in the arm
在胳膊上挨了一針?呵呵,應該是強心劑吧。這個習慣用語的意思是“鼓舞人心、增強信心的事情”。
例:Your encouraging words were a real shot in the arm.
你講的那些鼓勵的話,讓我信心百倍。
6. Knock sb’s socks off
這個短語用來描述令人興奮不已的好東西。
例:I tell you that movie I saw last night is fantastic, the best I've seen in years. Go see it – I guarantee it'll knock your socks off!
跟你說吧,昨晚的電影太棒了,是我這些年看到最好的??烊タ窗?,好看到爆!
