Experiments on Visual Quality of Turf Grass under Different Mowed Heights

修剪留茬高度对几种典型草坪草生长量与耗水量的影响

||1:Even those who recoil at eating supper out of a soggy box, fear being mowed down by curry-bearing cyclists or think the death of home cooking is a cultural abomination should admire Jitse Groen.||2:The 41-year-old Dutchman, who cooked up the online food delivery business by founding Takeaway.||3:com in his university bedroom in 2000, is not your usual tech billionaire.||4:He keeps a low profile, views venture capital with distaste, earns a relatively unflashy six-figure salary and sometimes hops on the firm’s delivery bikes to help out.||5:His main extravagance is a sharp Italian suit.

||1:即便是那些不敢在潮湿的盒子里吃晚饭、害怕被载着咖喱的自行车手铲倒，或者认为家庭烹饪的消亡是一种文化憎恶的人，也应该钦佩吉特斯?格伦。||2:这位41岁的荷兰人不是常见的那种科技亿万富翁，2000年他在大学宿舍创建了Takeaway.com，策划了网上送餐业务。||3:他保持低调，厌恶风险投资，工资相对不高，只有六位数，有时还会跳上公司的送货自行车帮忙。||4:他的主要奢侈品是一套笔挺的意大利西装。||5:那么，为什么他在7月29日提议出资82亿英镑(合101亿美元)购买Just Eat的股票呢? Just Eat是一家总部位于英国的大型但经营不善的上门送餐服务公司。

||1:Cultural difference also plays a part, thinks Mark Cocker, an expert on birds.||2:The “obsession with tidiness” is stronger in the south, he says.||3:Fewer people cultivate gardens; they prefer to cover them in decking and remove weeds from between concrete slabs.||4:Village greens are mowed short.||5:In contrast, Scotland and northern England have more trees, grassland and wind-swept moors.||6:Less popular with humans, rugged parts of the countryside are filling up with a winged population instead.

||1:One is that politics exaggerates reality.||2:While several voters expressed unease about their neighbours’ allegiances, your columnist saw nothing to suggest a community anything like as divided as the political views its members expressed.||3:On a sunny Saturday morning, Trumpers and anti-Trumps mowed lawns and walked dogs together.||4:Outside elections, most of them probably give politics little thought.||5:Given the state of things, that is consoling.

||1:一是政治夸大了实际情况。||2:尽管一些选民为他们的邻居的拥护对象而十分不安，笔者还是认为没有任何迹象表明社区会分裂，就像社区成员表达的政治观点分歧那样。||3:在一个阳光明媚的周六早晨，支持特朗普的人和反对特朗普的人一起修剪草坪，遛狗。||4:在选举之外，他们中的大多数人可能很少考虑政治问题。||5:从目前的情况来看，这是一种安慰。
