In the 1940s, Norman Borlaug and Tim (a team) developed highly productive and disease resistance(disease-resistant) wheat for farmers in Mexico. About 20 years later, millions of people in India and Pakistan were in danger from grain shortages.

    在 20 世纪四十年代， Norman 和一个研究小组研发了一种适于在墨西哥生长的高产抗病小麦。大概 20 年后，在印度及巴基斯坦，有上百万的人正处于粮食短缺的中。

The improved wheat grow from Mexico also grow(grew) well in South Asia combined with changing(es) in growing methods. Norman Borlaug persuaded farmers to use more fertilizers and pesticide chemicals, and to water their crops with irrigation systems. The results were big production gains that many believe saved as many as a billion lives.

    通过联合种植方法的改进，这种来自墨西哥的改良小麦也适于在南亚生长。 Norman 说服农民使用更多的肥料和农药并利用灌溉系统灌溉。这使当地谷类大丰收，人们相信这些谷类拯救了约 1 百亿的生命。

President Bush noted that hunger still affects much of the developing world. He said the most fiting(?)(fitting) honor for Norman Borlaug is to lead a second Green Revolution that faced(feeds) the world. Yet his support for new agricultural technology(ies) has been criticized a(at) time(s) over the years. Some researches worry about the effects of industrial methods of modern farming. Some have argued that earth resources are limited and not able to feed everyone.

       布什总统认为饥饿仍然影响着许多发展中国家。他说最合适说明 Norman 贡献的就是其领导了第二次绿色革命，该革命正在解决世界的饥饿问题。然而，多年来，布什总统支持新农业技术的举措遭到多次批评。一些学者担心现代化农业的工业化生产方式的影响；另一些学者则认为土地资源有有限的，不可能养活每一个人。

Population researcher Paul Eric(Ehrlich), for example, wrote a 1968 book called the “population bomb”. He predicted that population growth would cause widespread harm to the plant(planet).

       例如，人口学者 Paul 写了一本叫《人口爆炸》的书。他预测人口的增长将对地球带来广泛的危害。

总结

关于听写：

1.       有些词，反反复复听，听对的又改错了。例如： team 和 feeed ，主要还是没想清楚其在文章中的意思，选择错误。

2.       很注意单复数、时态之类的，结果还是错误百出。可能由于打字的时候，键盘的声音，影响我听到 s 、 ed 、 t 这样的尾音，不过这个应该不是借口需要多练习。

3.       resistance and resistant ， “ce” 结尾一般为名字，而“ t” 结尾是形容词，一阵弄的清，一阵就忘了～

4.       planet 和 plant 混了，唉～ 这个最郁闷，完全不该犯的错误。

关于翻译：

1.       “ that feeds the world ”理解意思，可翻译不出来，感觉翻的怪怪的。

2.        over the years ：这么多年来，经过这么多年之后。 它指的是一种从几年前持续到   现在的一种情况，因此通常与现在完成时连用。如： My tastes have changed greaty over the years. 几年来我的爱好有了很大改变。

3.       “ wrote a 1968 book ” 很费解，翻译不出来，所以省略了。
