The Importance of Energy<\/h4>\n

That the current fighting in the Middle East around the Strait of Hormuz is driving up gas prices<\/a> in many places is undoubtedly a big reason why the above-mentioned article is being featured on jw.org<\/a> at this time. Yes, energy is more than just an abstract scientific concept.<\/p>\n

In physics, energy is defined<\/a> as \u201cthe capacity for doing work<\/a>\u201d, which in turn involves applying force to move something a certain distance. So, practically speaking, energy provides the ability to move physical things, like our cars. And since heat<\/a> is connected to temperature<\/a>, which \u201creflects the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system\u201d, energy also provides the ability to heat things, like our homes.<\/p>\n

Looking back in history, oil\u2014along with other fossil fuels still the dominant source of energy down to this day<\/a>, in spite of increasing use of clean energy\u2014was a big factor in why Japan attacked Pearl Harbour<\/a> in 1941, and in why Nazi Germany ultimately lost<\/a> to the Allies in World War II.<\/p>\n

Coming back to the present day, besides gas prices being driven up by the ongoing fighting in the Middle East, another reason why energy is now of concern to many is that oodles and gobs of energy are needed to train and operate artificial intelligence (AI) models<\/a>, which are increasingly being hyped and used by many.<\/p>\n

Another Usage Example<\/h4>\n

Regarding \u201cn\u00e9ngyu\u00e1n<\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t(n\u00e9ng\u00b7yu\u00e1n\n\t\t\t \u2192<\/span> [energy [source]]<\/span>\n\t\t\t\u80fd\u6e90)<\/span>\u201d,<\/i> note that its morphemes<\/a> literally mean \u201cenergy \u00b7 source (of a river)\u201d. However, the expression as a whole is at times used to effectively mean just \u201cenergy\u201d.<\/p>\n

To help Mandarin field language learners get more of a feel for how to use this expression, here is another usage example, taken from the above-mentioned jw.org<\/a> article:<\/p>\n

English:<\/p>\n

\nChallenge: international conflict.<\/strong> Some regions are rich in energy resources, but they suffer from wars, conflicts, and disputes over territory. And when conflicts disrupt supply chains for oil or gas, many people face shortages and higher prices.<\/p>\n
