runts

基本解釋

That was because the runts tended to die before they could reproduce, thus wasting the food that they had already eaten.
這是因爲那些非對稱分個所得子細胞中的弱者有可能在繁殖之前就死亡，這樣就浪費了他們所吸收的食物。
He showed a remarkable picture of great towering maize plants in the plot with the char and miserable little runts in the plot without.
他給我們展示了一張圖片：在生物炭的滋養(yǎng)下玉米高大強壯，而在缺少了生物炭的田地裡玉米卻小得可憐。
Similarly, look for fruits that are medium to large for their variety. Runts can have decent flavor but are less satisfying to eat, as they have a higher proportion of pit and skin to flesh.
應(yīng)該找那些個頭中等而且稍大的果子，因爲小果子雖然味道不錯，但是喫起來讓人很不滿足，它們的果核太大，感覺皮比肉還要多。

Lak I hant his marigol eyes an high cheeks an more his likeness dan de runts what his wife ma'm made with the brudders one and two.
