“雜交水稻”怎么說
[ 2007-05-03 16:45 ]
“五一”前，在美國科學院評選出的18位外籍院士中，中國科學家“世界雜交水稻之父”袁隆平和納米技術專家白春禮共同膺選此榮。目前，中國已有六位科學家當選為美國科學院外籍院士。
請看《中國日報》相關報道：Two top Chinese scientists, Yuan Longping and Bai Chunli, have
been officially granted the honor of becoming foreign associates of the National
Academy of Sciences (NAS) in the United States in recognition of their
outstanding achievements in their fields.
Yuan, 77, dubbed the "father of hybrid
rice" for his extraordinary contributions toward developing
high-yield rice, is a household name in China.
由報道可知，“雜交水稻”相應的英文表達為“hybrid rice”。在生物學詞匯中，“hybrid”指“adj.& n.
雜交（的）、混合（的）”，如：The hybrid from a donkey and a horse is called a
mule.（驢和馬交配所生的物種叫騾）；The hybrid basketball team represents two
universities.（這支混合籃球隊代表兩個大學。）
此外，我們常說的“混血兒”也可用“hybrid”來表達。
