The Inspiring Seed Scientist 激励人心的种子科学家
On 25 September 2017, the scientific world was shaken by the news that Chinese professor Zhong Yang had died in a car accident. 2017年9月25日，中国教授钟扬因车祸逝世的消息震动了科学界。
The well-respected biologist had spent his whole life researching plants and seeds. 这位备受敬仰的生物学家，将毕生精力都投入到了植物与种子的研究之中。
Over the years, he collected many important seeds for China's seed banks. 多年来，他为中国种子库收集了许多重要的植物种子。
These special banks protect all kinds of plant seeds, including the ones we need for food, and they make sure that important plants do not disappear from the world forever. 这些特殊的种子库保存着各类植物种子，其中包括我们赖以生存的粮食作物种子，确保重要的植物不会从地球上永久消失。
Zhong Yang was born in 1964. 钟扬生于1964年。
When he was young, he showed a deep love for and a curiosity about the things he studied. 年少时，他便对钻研的事物满怀热爱，并充满了好奇心。
He was an excellent student, entering university at the early age of 15. 他学业优异，年仅15岁便考入大学。
There, he studied radio engineering and later became interested in plants. 在校期间，他学习了无线电工程，后来对植物产生了兴趣。
The research and study of plants, especially the seeds, became the focus of his life after he became a professor at Fudan University. 成为复旦大学教授之后，植物研究，尤其是种子研究，成为了他生活的重心。
It is important for seed banks to include many different kinds of seeds. 对种子库而言，保存丰富多样的种子至关重要。
When Zhong Yang discovered that there was not enough research on the seeds from Xizang, he went there to collect seeds himself. 当钟扬发现西藏地区的种子研究尚有不足时，便亲自前往当地采集种子。
In 2001, he began his travels across Xizang. 2001年，他开始走遍西藏各地。
It was very difficult for him to brave the cold weather and great heights. 要战胜严寒和高海拔，对他来说实属不易。
He sometimes fell sick, but he always continued with his work. 有时他会染病，却始终坚持工作。
Zhong Yang knew it was better to include more people when doing important work. 钟扬深知，重要的工作需要更多人参与。
He began a programme to find and train local students in field research to become scientists. 他启动了一个项目，发掘并培养当地学生从事野外研究，帮助他们成长为科学家。
Together, he and his team collected more than 40 million seeds from over 1,000 types of plants. 他与团队一起，从1000多种植物中收集了4000多万颗种子。
Their hard work provided the world with lots of new information about the plants in China. 他们的辛勤工作为世界提供了大量有关中国植物的新信息。
Zhong Yang left behind more than just a huge collection of seeds. 钟扬留下的远不只是数量庞大的种子。
His love for his job and research lives on in his students. 他对工作和研究的热爱，在他的学生身上得到了传承。
He once said, 'My students will continue on the road of scientific exploration, and the seeds we have collected may grow hundreds of years from now.' 他曾说：“我的学生们将继续走在科学探索的道路上，而我们采集的种子，也许会在几百年后的某一天生根发芽。”

Who does the writer admire? Why? 作者敬佩的人是谁？ 原因是什么？
To me, one of the most inspiring people in Chinese history is Mozi (about 468-376 BCE). 在我看来，中国历史上最激励人心的人物之一便是墨子（约公元前468年—前376年）。
It is said that Mozi was a soldier, good at woodwork, and was the inventor of the kite. 相传墨子曾为士兵，精通木工，还是风筝的发明者。
But in fact, above all, he was a great thinker. 但事实上，他首先是一位伟大的思想家。
Mozi lived during the Warring States Period. 墨子生活在战国时期。
Back then, many kingdoms were fighting against each other. 当时，各国相互攻伐，
In these wars, the common people were always hurt. 百姓总是深受其害。
To Mozi, this had to stop, so he spent his lifetime trying to bring peace. 在墨子看来，这种局面必须结束，于是他将毕生精力都投入到了追求和平之中。
His idea of love was one reason that Mozi wanted peace. 墨子的“兼爱”思想，是他追求和平的原因之一。
It was important to him that everyone should show the same kindness and care to everyone else, whether they were family, friends, or strangers. 他认为，每个人都应对他人一视同仁地施以善意与关心，无论对方是亲人、朋友还是陌生人。
He also believed states should avoid attacking one another. 他还主张，各国应避免相互攻伐。
Though Mozi lived more than 2,000 years ago, his ideas live on. 虽然墨子生活在两千多年前，他的思想仍流传于世。
I think he is still a great inspiration to many people. 我认为他至今仍深深激励着许多人。
Now, more than ever, people around the world need to hear the message of peace and love, and work together to build a community of a shared future for mankind. 如今，全世界的人们比以往任何时候都更需要倾听爱与和平的声音，携手共建人类命运共同体。
