Of the world's top 50 crops, how many rely on insect pollination?

在世界前50种农作物中，有多少种依靠昆虫授粉？

I asked how many of the top 50 world crops rely on insect pollination.

我问世界前50种农作物中有多少依靠昆虫授粉。

Even if you don't want to eat insects like we discussed last Friday, scientists say three-quarters of our crops depend on insect pollination.

即使你不想像我们上周五讨论的那样食用昆虫，但科学家表示，我们四分之三的作物都要依赖昆虫传粉。

In fact, almost all plants need insects to reproduce, which is my quiz question, of the world's top 50 crops, how many rely on insect pollination?

事实上，几乎所有的植物都需要昆虫来繁殖，这就是我今天的问题，在世界前50名的农作物里，有多少种依赖昆虫授粉？

The stage for insect pollination was set possibly as far back as the Permian Period, when insects are thought to have started feeding on gymnosperm plant fluids.

昆虫授粉的阶段可能最早可追溯到二叠纪时期，当时人们认为昆虫已经开始以裸子植物的液体为食。

And pollen that got stuck on legs, wings, heads, and bodies would've been carried to other plants of the same species, kicking off the first round of insect pollination.

粘在腿、翅膀、头和身体上的花粉会被带到同一物种的其他植物上，开始第一轮昆虫授粉。

That, and according to the UK's Living With Environmental Change Partnership, the global crop production attributable to insect pollination was estimated to be worth about $215 billion dollars in 2005. That's a lot of money!

据英国“与环境变化共存”合作伙伴关系称，2005 年全球因昆虫授粉而产生的作物产量估计价值约 2150 亿美元。这是一大笔钱！
