     薇薇安：為什么？
     Rebecca: Some for the territory, others for religion conflicts, and still more for resource.
     瑞貝卡：有的為了爭奪領土，有的因為宗教沖突，更多的是為了爭奪資源。
     Vivian: Owing more territory means owing more resources.
     薇薇安：擁有了更多的領土就意味著擁有了更多的資源。
     Rebecca: Right. In the past, all countries exploited their local resources for their economic development. However, along with the rapid development of global economy, the needs for resources keep increasing rather than decrease, which force them to gain more resources.
     瑞貝卡：沒錯。過去各國為了發(fā)展本國經(jīng)濟大量開發(fā)本土能源。但是隨著全球經(jīng)濟的迅速發(fā)展，對于能源的需求量有增無減，這就使得它們急切地需要獲取更多的資源。
