Pollination is what happens when pollen — that fine yellow powder inside a flower — gets to the part of a flower that can use it, so the plant can make seeds and, often, fruit. Bees do a lot of this work: they brush against one flower, then carry the powder to the next.

Pollination是 what happens發生的事 when當 pollen花粉 — that fine yellow powder inside a flower花朵裡那種細細的黃色粉末 — gets to傳到 the part of a flower that can use it花朵裡能利用它的部位, so that the plant植物 can make seeds才能結種子 and, often而且常常, fruit結果實. Bees蜜蜂 do a lot of this work做了很多這種工作: they牠們 brush against one flower碰到一朵花, then然後 carry the powder to the next把花粉帶到下一朵.

Wind does it too, and so do butterflies, moths, hummingbirds, even some bats. Without pollination, apple trees, tomatoes, and many other plants cannot make the fruit we eat.

Wind風 does it too也會做這件事, and而且 so do butterflies, moths, hummingbirds, even some bats蝴蝶、蛾、蜂鳥，甚至一些蝙蝠也會. Without pollination沒有授粉, apple trees, tomatoes, and many other plants蘋果樹、番茄和很多其他植物 cannot make the fruit we eat就無法結出我們吃的果實.

Farmers sometimes do it by hand with a little brush when there are not enough insects.

Farmers農夫 sometimes有時 do it by hand用一支小刷子親手做這件事 with a little brush when there are not enough insects當昆蟲不夠的時候.

The word names the act, not the powder itself. You will hear it in science class, gardening, and news about bees dying. People almost never use it for anything except plants.

The word這個字 names的是 the act這個行為, not不是 the powder itself花粉本身. You你 will hear it會聽到這個字 in science class, gardening, and news about bees dying在科學課、園藝，以及蜜蜂消失的新聞裡. People人們 almost never幾乎不會 use it用這個字 for anything except plants來講植物以外的東西.
