Watching grass grow

看着草生长

If watching paint dry sounds too exhilarating, you could take a leaf out of Helen Southall’s book.

如果说看着油漆干似乎还有点意思，你可以扯下海伦•索撒尔的一页书看看。

The grass expert works at British Seed Houses in Lincoln, where her daily duties include counting out and planting 400 seed samples.

Later, she goes through them blade by blade to monitor growth.

这位草评专家在林肯大学的英国种子会社（British Seed Houses）工作，她的日常职责包括计数和种植400颗种子样本。然后，她开始一片一片叶子监控草地生长。

Helen said: “People think that it’s strange when I tell them my job is to watch grass grow.

“But it’s fascinating. I wouldn’t do anything else. It’s so rewarding to see a stretch of perfect grass.”

“当我告诉别人我的工作是盯着草地生长时，他们都认为这不可思议。但这项工作很有魅力，我无需做其他事情。看着一片完美草坪慢慢伸展很值得。”海伦说。
