河北省科技廳上週一表示，“雜交水稻之父”袁隆平和他的團隊在超級雜交水稻產量上創造了新的世界紀錄。

The new world record was set in test fields in the city of Handan, which achieved an average yield of 1,203.36 kilograms of rice per mu (about 0.07 hectares) of farmland. The tested rice variety was Xiangliangyou 900.

創造了新的世界紀錄的是邯鄲市的試驗田，平均畝產（約0.07公頃）達到了1203.36公斤。試驗水稻品種爲湘兩優900（超優千號）。

Yuan, who developed the world's first hybrid rice in 1974, has set multiple world records in hybrid rice yield in previous years.

袁隆平於1974年試驗出世界上第一種雜交水稻，在過去幾年裏，他創造了多項雜交水稻產量的世界紀錄。

Since the beginning of 2016, Yuan's team has managed 42 hybrid rice test fields in 16 provincial regions across China, including Yunnan, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Guangdong, Chongqing, and Hunan.

自2016年初以來，袁隆平的團隊在中國16個省市設立了42個雜交水稻試驗田，包括雲南、四川、陝西、廣東、重慶和湖南等地區。

In 2017, he achieved a return of 1,149.02 kilograms of rice per mu with the same variety in the same test fields.

在2017年，他創造了在同一試驗田每畝相同品種水稻產量1149.02公斤的記錄。
