| 不可再生能源 | non-renewable energy resource Non-renewable resources have been built up or evolved over a geological time-span and cannot be used without depleting the stock and raising questions of ultimate exhaustibility, since their rate of formation is so slow as to be meaningless in terms of the human life-span (非再生能源是在地质时间跨度上已建成或进化而成的，如果没有消耗储备将不能使用，同时提出了最终耗竭问题，因为它们的形成速度如此缓慢以致于对于人类生活跨度而言毫无意义。) |
| 可再生能源 | renewable energy source Energy sources that do not rely on fuels of which there are only finite stocks. The most widely used renewable source is hydroelectric power; other renewable sources are biomass energy, solar energy, tidal energy, wave energy, and wind energy; biomass energy does not avoid the danger of the greenhouse effect (不依赖于数量有限的矿石资源的能源。最广泛使用的可再生能源是氢能源；其它可再生能源包括生物能、太阳能、潮汐能、洋流能、风能；但生物能源不能避免温室效应。) |
