runts

基本解释

That was because the runts tended to die before they could reproduce, thus wasting the food that they had already eaten.
这是因为那些非对称分个所得子细胞中的弱者有可能在繁殖之前就死亡，这样就浪费了他们所吸收的食物。
He showed a remarkable picture of great towering maize plants in the plot with the char and miserable little runts in the plot without.
他给我们展示了一张图片：在生物炭的滋养下玉米高大强壮，而在缺少了生物炭的田地里玉米却小得可怜。
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.
应该找那些个头中等而且稍大的果子，因为小果子虽然味道不错，但是吃起来让人很不满足，它们的果核太大，感觉皮比肉还要多。

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.
