针对个人的感谢:“First
of all I’d like to give a big thank you to Joe, without whom the massive amount
of monthly data is not going to be collected completely and on time, and for
his patience in getting my questions out to the farmers and back to me so many
times; secondly, I’d like to thank Andy, for his effort in getting the plans
and sketches from each of the farmer and for his advice at the initial planning
of the survey; then I’d like to thank Elena, who helped contact all the co-ops
to get the milk data and communicated with me throughout the year; and then I’d
like to thank James (这时发现他把脑袋埋在手掌里于是适时地说了声: wake up!), for his huge support and great supervision from the
very beginning of my PhD. Last but not the least, I’d like to thank all the
farmers coming today, and it is the contribution from everyone of you that made
our research possible”
