The beetles break up the dung and tunnel it deep into the soil, bringing the nutrients into close contact with plant roots.

蜣螂将粪便分解，并挖地道深埋粪便，将营养物质带到植物根部。

Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows.

不幸的是，工业化的程度越高，我们距直接与植物接触就越远，我们的植物学知识的增加也就越微不足道。
