The hybrid is particularly well suited to African rice farmers because it is able to grow on poor land and it can survive very dry weather.

这种杂交水稻特别适合非洲的稻农因为它能在贫瘠的土地上生长，并且能够忍受干燥的气候。

Whole sections of the poorest land went almost out of cultivation, the abandoned farms of the New England hills bearing solemn witness to the competing power of western wheat fields.

最贫瘠的土地的整片区域几乎无人耕种，新英格兰山区废弃的农场庄严地见证了西部麦田的竞争实力。

In poorer lands, on the contrary, the produce is sometimes so small, and the expense of cultivation so great, that it requires four-fifths of the whole produce, to replace to the farmer his capital with the ordinary profit.

相反，在较贫瘠的土地上，有时出产很少，而耕种的费用又大到需要全部出产的五分之四，才能用普通利润代替农民的资本。
