食物的起源

Since the introduction of agriculture，grains of cultivated crops have become the main source of man's staple food.

從引進農業以來，栽培作物的穀粒成爲人類基本食物的主要來源。

Farming began to take up most of man's labor and time. Cultivation of crops was a process of man's work from sowing， applying fertilizer to harvest. It was the most important work in people's mind that could not be replaced by anything else.

農耕開始佔據人類的大部分勞力和時間。農作物的耕作是從播種、施肥到收穫的一系列人類勞動。它成爲了人們心中不可替代的最重要的事情。

Growing crops was not the only way of obtaining food.

但是種糧食不是收穫食物的唯一方式。

The ancients began expanding their sources of food at a very early time，developing farming，forestry，animal husbandry， sidelines，and fishing in line with local conditions.

人們很早就開始根據當地的條件擴展食物的來源，發展農業、林業、畜牧業、副業和漁業。
