旁白：现在来听环境科学课上的一部分讲座。

Narrator: Now listen to part of a lecture from an Environmental science class.

教授：好的，这可以以鸡在种植作物时的应用为例。

Professor: OK, so an example of this is when chickens are used to prepare a field for planting.

这样做的农民有一种特殊的小房子，他们把鸡养在里面。

Farmers who do this have a special kind of little house that they keep their chickens in.

这个小房子有四面墙和一个屋顶，

This little house has four walls and a roof,

所以它可以很容易地从一个位置移动到另一个位置。

so it can easily be moved from one location to another.

所以，农民们把这个小房子搬到一个有东西要种的地方，

So, farmers move this little house to a field where something is going to be planted,

比如豆苗，然后把鸡放在屋子里。

say bean plants, and then the chickens are placed inside the house.

现在请记住，这间房子是没有地板的

Now remember there's no floor in this house,

鸡所做的是在房子里走来走去啄食土壤，

and what the chickens do is they walk around inside the house and peck at the soil,

吃任何他们发现的杂草或野生植物。

and eat any weeds or wild plants that they find.

然后当鸡吃完那个地方的杂草时，

And then when the chickens are done eating the weeds in that location,

农民们把房子搬到田里的下一块地。

the farmers move the house to the next section of the field.

And again the chickens peck at the soil and eat the weeds.

所以鸡吃了很多的杂草，这对它们有好处。

So the chickens get to eat lots of weeds, which are good for them.

其实这种活动对在田间生长的豆苗也有好处。

Now this activity is also good for the bean plants that'll be growing in the field.

they're improving the quality of the soil.

多亏了这些鸡，当豆苗开始生长的时候，

Thanks to the chickens, when the bean plants start to grow,

在那里，没有任何杂草可以与它们争夺重要的资源，比如阳光和水。

there won't be any weeds there to compete with them for crucial resources, like sunlight and water.

Integrated Farming &nbsp;
Many farmers keep animals and raise crops at the same time. While some farmers treat the cultivation of their animals and plants as two separate activities, others integrate the two so that they work together. This is called integrated farming. Integrated farming uses the natural behavior of animals in a way that helps to keep both animals and crops healthy and thriving. By integrating a particular animal with a specific crop, farmers create a system in which both animals and plants provide for each others’ needs.&nbsp;

 Explain how the example from the lecture illustrates the concept of integrated farming.
