If you like the idea of avoiding mass starvation – and I certainly do – you owe thanks to two groups of scientists: one that gave us the Green Revolution back around the 1980’s via strains of hardy, high-yielding grains, and another that figured out how to make bread out of air .
如果你为避免了大规模饥荒而感到高兴——我当然是这样——你应当感谢两组科学家：他们中的一组在20世纪80年代发明了耐寒、高产系列作物，带来了绿色革命，而另一组则找到了 从空气中生产面包 的方法。
