　　那個(gè)從小在課本里讀到的名字——“雜交水稻之父”袁隆平，今天又一次讓人們熱血沸騰。

　　非洲島國(guó)馬達(dá)加斯加，由于水稻種植技術(shù)落后，每年需要進(jìn)口數(shù)十萬(wàn)噸大米。

　　Madagascar has the world’s second longest history of rice planting, only second to Asian countries. However, outdated rice breeding and the extensive management hindered its rice production. It had to import 200,000 to 400,000 tons of rice annually.

　　馬達(dá)加斯加擁有世界第二長(zhǎng)的水稻種植歷史，僅次于亞洲國(guó)家。然而，水稻種植技術(shù)落后，管理粗放，阻礙了水稻的生產(chǎn)。它每年必須進(jìn)口20萬(wàn)至40萬(wàn)噸大米。

　　不過(guò)據(jù)央視新聞報(bào)道，馬達(dá)加斯加氣候條件復(fù)雜，在袁隆平院士指導(dǎo)下，中國(guó)農(nóng)業(yè)技術(shù)專家成功培育出3種適合當(dāng)?shù)赝寥罋夂虻母弋a(chǎn)雜交水稻種子。使用后，水稻產(chǎn)量達(dá)到每公頃10.8噸，遠(yuǎn)高于當(dāng)?shù)匾话忝抗?噸的產(chǎn)量。 未來(lái)，我國(guó)雜交水稻將有望解決非洲國(guó)家的糧食安全問(wèn)題。

　　2007年以來(lái)，共有二十多位來(lái)自中國(guó)的農(nóng)業(yè)技術(shù)專家在馬達(dá)加斯加推廣雜交水稻種植技術(shù)，累計(jì)推廣雜交水稻4萬(wàn)公頃，增產(chǎn)稻谷12萬(wàn)噸以上。

　　Though Africais generally rich in land resources and enjoys favorable conditions for farming, the continent still suffers from low agricultural production and food security problems.

　　非洲土地資源總體豐富，農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)條件優(yōu)越，但農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)水平低，糧食安全問(wèn)題突出。

　　Changshahas been playing an important role in China-Africaagricultural cooperation. It has the world-leading hybrid rice technology, which is pioneered by agricultural scientist Yuan Longping. The city could provide African countries with such agricultural expertise, so that they could transition from dependency on foreign aid to self-sufficiency.

　　長(zhǎng)沙在中非農(nóng)業(yè)合作中發(fā)揮著重要作用。長(zhǎng)沙擁有世界領(lǐng)先的雜交水稻技術(shù)，這一技術(shù)由農(nóng)業(yè)科學(xué)家袁隆平首創(chuàng)。長(zhǎng)沙可以向非洲國(guó)家提供這種農(nóng)業(yè)專門知識(shí)，使它們能夠從依賴外國(guó)援助過(guò)渡到自給自足。

　　In 2010, experts from Changshabegan helping Madagascarto localize hybrid rice. Since then, the country has raised 20,000 hectares of hybrid rice fields, with each hectare producing about 7 tons on average. The country's 25 million people have now become self-sufficient on food.

　　2010年，長(zhǎng)沙的專家開(kāi)始幫助馬達(dá)加斯加將雜交水稻本地化。從那時(shí)起，馬達(dá)加斯加已經(jīng)種植了2萬(wàn)公頃的雜交水稻，每公頃平均產(chǎn)量約為7噸。這個(gè)國(guó)家的2500萬(wàn)人現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)在食物方面自給自足了。

　　Long Ping High-Tech, which is named after Yuan Longping the agricultural expert, has periodically carried out technical assistance projects in Africa, and provided training to some 3,600 officials and agricultural specialists in almost 50 African countries.

　　以農(nóng)業(yè)專家袁隆平的名字命名的隆平農(nóng)業(yè)高科技股份有限公司，定期在非洲開(kāi)展技術(shù)援助項(xiàng)目，為近50個(gè)非洲國(guó)家的3600多名官員和農(nóng)業(yè)專家提供培訓(xùn)。

　　為了在馬達(dá)加斯加復(fù)雜的氣候條件下推廣雜交水稻種植技術(shù)，一批又一批援非專家克服重重困難、進(jìn)行多種試驗(yàn)，經(jīng)過(guò)11年的努力，成功培育出具有高產(chǎn)、耐旱、抗洪、抗倒伏、優(yōu)質(zhì) 等優(yōu)良特性的雜交水稻品種。

　　Zhang Lijun, general manager of Yuan Longping's Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., has stayed in Madagascar for 11 years. He witnessed the localization of hybrid rice in Africa. He brought Chinese agricultural experts a batch after a batch. During this period, hybrid rice rooted in Madagascar with great production.

　　袁隆平的農(nóng)業(yè)發(fā)展有限公司總經(jīng)理張立軍已在馬達(dá)加斯加工作11年。他見(jiàn)證了雜交水稻在非洲的本地化過(guò)程。他迎來(lái)送往一批又一批中國(guó)農(nóng)業(yè)專家。在此期間，雜交水稻在馬達(dá)加斯加生根發(fā)芽，產(chǎn)量巨大。

　　“We selected a number of hybrid rice varieties for comparative testing in Madagascar. After 11 years of trial demonstration and promotion, we successfully selected and approved 5 hybrid rice varieties.” Zhang Lijun introduced that these five hybrid rice varieties have excellent characteristics on high yield, drought tolerance, flood tolerance, lodging resistance, and high quality. In April this year, the first large-scale hybrid rice had a successful production of seeds.

　　“我們篩選了多個(gè)雜交水稻品種在馬達(dá)加斯加進(jìn)行比較試驗(yàn)。經(jīng)過(guò)11年的試種推廣，成功選育出5個(gè)雜交水稻品種。張立軍介紹說(shuō)，這5個(gè)雜交水稻品種具有高產(chǎn)、耐旱、抗洪、抗倒伏、優(yōu)質(zhì)等優(yōu)良特性。今年4月，第一批大規(guī)模雜交水稻成功生產(chǎn)出種子。

　　At present, Madagascar is the country with the largest area and the highest yield of hybrid rice in Africa. Nearly 20,000 hectares of land have been planted with hybrid rice, and the annual yield of rice is 60,000 tons. The average yield is more than double that of the local varieties.

　　目前，馬達(dá)加斯加是非洲雜交水稻種植面積最大、產(chǎn)量最高的國(guó)家。雜交水稻種植面積近2萬(wàn)公頃，水稻年增產(chǎn)6萬(wàn)噸。平均產(chǎn)量是當(dāng)?shù)仄贩N的一倍以上。

　　除了馬達(dá)加斯加，中國(guó)的雜交水稻已經(jīng)在非洲16個(gè)國(guó)家結(jié)出了沉甸甸的稻穗。

　　The Hunan Agricultural Committee data shows that, the hybrid rice planting area overseas reached 7 million hectares, making an average yield at least 20% higher than local breeds. Hunan’s hybrid rice pilots in 16 African countries, including Egypt, the Republic of Guinea, and Liberia, achieved notable success, with a per hectare yield at least 2 tons more than the local breeds.

　　湖南省農(nóng)業(yè)委員會(huì)的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，海外雜交水稻種植面積達(dá)到700萬(wàn)公頃，平均產(chǎn)量至少比當(dāng)?shù)仄贩N高出20%。湖南在包括埃及、幾內(nèi)亞和利比里亞在內(nèi)的16個(gè)非洲國(guó)家進(jìn)行的雜交水稻試驗(yàn)取得了顯著的成功，每公頃產(chǎn)量至少比當(dāng)?shù)仄贩N高出2噸。
