从1984年4月2日到6月14日,我访问了中国的12个省份,举办了几次专题演讲讨论会,共计117小时。在此期间与数百名有关人员交流了经验,根据这些写成此文。基于以上接触和许多现场考察,我确信,由于目前灭鼠方法的不断改进,中国能够在很多乡村、大部分农业地区和许多城市迅速实现无鼠。森林和草原的鼠害控制还需要进一步研究,但这个目标也可望在成本很低、且不带来环境问题的情况下安全地实现。 From April 2 to June 14, 1984, I visited 12 Chinese provinces and held several keynote speeches for a total of 117 hours. In the meantime, we exchanged experiences with hundreds of people involved and based on these we wrote the article. Based on the above contacts and many on-site visits, I am convinced that due to the continuous improvement of the current anti-rodent methods, China will quickly realize its presence in many rural areas, most agricultural areas and many cities. Rodent control of forests and grasslands needs further study, but this goal is also expected to be achieved safely and at low cost without environmental problems.
