Just three years later, the potato blight came over from the new world to strike down Ireland's primary crop.

仅仅三年后，马铃薯枯萎病就从新大陆袭来，摧毁了爱尔兰的主要作物。

The potato blight that fell upon Ireland visited the Rhine Valley and Southern Germany at the same time with results as pitiful, if less extensive.

落在爱尔兰的马铃薯疫病同时袭击了莱茵河谷和德国南部，即使没有那么广泛，结果也很可怜。
