托福阅读：17世纪的荷兰农业

2016-04-28 16:44:09来源：网络

　　P2：

　　Apart from this, being able to give up labor-intensive grain production freed both the land and the workforce for more productive agricultural divisions. The peasants specialized in livestock husbandry and dairy farming as well as in cultivating industrial crops and fodder crops: flax, madder, and rape were grown, as were tobacco, hops, and turnips. These products were bought mostly by urban businesses. There was also a demand among urban consumers for dairy products such as butter and cheese, which, in the sixteenth century, had become more expensive than grain. The high prices encouraged the peasants to improve their animal husbandry techniques; for example, they began feeding their animals indoors in order to raise the milk yield of their cows.

　　难词解析：

　　labor-intensive adj. 劳动密集型

　　apart from 除...之外

　　free v. 解放

　　livestock n. 家禽

　　husbandry n. 农业

　　yield n. 产量

　　encourage sb to do sth 鼓励某人做某事，可表示因果

　　难句解析：

　　Apart from this, being able to give up labor-intensive grain production freed both the land and the workforce for more productive agricultural divisions.

　　apart from=除了……之外，being able to do做主语，free在这里用做动词。

　　翻译为除了这些，放弃这种劳动密集型的粮食生产解放了土地和劳动力使之能够分散参与到更多的农业生产中。
