百度的这个不全，后面有英文链接，有兴趣的可以自己看看～

1) What was the mothership? An alien convict ship? An alien slave ship?  
母舰是什么？囚犯船？奴隶船？
The ship was a long distance resource and mineral collecting structure. Blomkamp explains: “Obviously, there's much more of a population on the main planet, but the ships will go out and get the minerals and the ore and whatever resources they need and then bring them all back home.” It is actually part of an even bigger structure. “The other thing is that the ship was meant to clip together with other ships. So there's, like, vast amounts of resources that they're bringing to the parent planet.”  
母舰是长程采矿船。
2) Why did the mothership cruise to a stop above Joburg? Did it run out of fuel?  
为何母舰停在约翰里斯堡？因为没能量了么？
No, the mothership did not run out of fuel. After the queen died, the mothership mistaked to cruise to earth for nearest life-sustaining mother planet. Blomkamp explains: “…it was the ship that realized that, unless it gets to a life sustaining planet everything is going to die, which is a cool idea. So the ship just auto pilots to the closest one in the Goldilocks band, and it's our planet and then pulls up and hits the breaks.”  
不是母舰有燃料。Queen死后，母舰找一个最近的母星，结果找错了就到了地球（mistaked to cruise to earth）。
3) What falls off the mothership when it first makes contact with Earth?  
母舰刚到地球时什么掉下去了？
The command module to the mothership. In the movie, it is shown to fit into the mothership like a perfect puzzle piece.  
是指挥舱。
4) Why does the command module fall off?  
为什么指挥舱掉下去了。
Not explained. There are many speculations by humen, however. Maybe whatever virus, disease, or entity that killed off many of the prawns lead to a malfunction or lack of maintenance in the mothership. Or maybe, when the queen dies, the mothership is programmed stop near a life-sustaining planet and detach the command module so that the worker drones do not attempt to pilot it and get themselves killed or waste valuable resources. Or maybe the mothership was programmed to respond to threats like holes being ripped open in the mothership and detach the command module to save the more valuable, intelligent prawns inside. UNSK think that the mothership confused earth and their mother planet
人类不清楚，总之是女王死掉了后，母舰的导航系统找到地球，出于保护信息和资源的目的，或者是防止病毒传播的目的，把那个指挥舱给扔出去了。UNSK（就是那个老出来说话的记者的组织）认为最可能的原因是母舰混淆了地球与母星。
5) Why didn’t scientist rip apart the mothership and examine it like they did to countless prawns in the medical labs?  
科学家为什么不拆开母舰？就像他们在医疗室对大虾那样干的。
Because unlike the dead prawn subjects, the mothership is a threat hovering above Joburg. The scientists could not comprehend alien technology. One false move could lead to the entire mothership crashing down upon the populated city，even south africa.  
科学家害怕这样导致城市甚至南非的毁灭。

6) Why doesn’t the military shoot down the mothership? It is a theart.  
为什么军队不打母舰？
It is more of a threat when it is a flaming fireball falling upon Joburg. See FAQ #5.  
见上文。

7) Why would the prawns not come out of the mothership for three months if they were malnourished? Did they want to die or something?  
为什么大虾三月宁可饿死都不离开母舰？
The prawns do not operate like humans. They operate more like a hive society. Although with proper leadership they were able to achieve amazing technological feats, without their queen they were simply individual worker drones that were unable to get much organized if without hormones from queen or food. Much less make first contact with a new species.  
大虾是蜂巢社会，大虾的工人们会变傻如果没有女王或者食物里的激素。
8) How come only the queen (or smarter leaders) died but the less intelligent prawns survived?  
为什么女王死了。
The worker drones were more immune to disease because they were bred to be physically tougher, not mentally capable. Blomkamp explains: “And the ship, when the army generals or the queen of that particular ship died off by some sort of virus or bacteria that they picked up on some other planet, that killed them off. And it didn't effect these sort of resilient, hardy sort of drone workers.”因为她娇生惯养。
9) Why did the prawns not resist? Not all of their weapons were confiscated. They would have easily defeated MNU security forces with their superior weaponry.  
为什么大虾不反抗？他们那么牛的武器，干掉MNU非常简单。
Yes, they would have. The majority of the prawns were worker drones. Without their queen simply seeking survival, unable to formulate any sort of plan.Blomkamp explains: “Also, it [the hive mentality] sort of explains why they don't turn on the humans. Individually, they may be feeling oppressed, but they don't have it together enough to form a resistance and back one another. So I found that really interesting.”  
他们本来可以，但是没有女王指挥，他们无法协作，只是出于本能生存下去（simply seeking survival）。

10) Well then why was Christopher so special? I thought the queen (or the leaders) all died. And if he was so sharp, why did it take him 20 years to get his stuff together?  
为什么红虾那么聪明？
A hive is programmed to adapt a new queen or some sort of leader, but after some time after the queen's death, not right away. Blomkamp explains: “There is a subconscious hive mind happening, really what they should do is lay one egg that has a different embryo in it that grows into a Queen or being someone that dictates direction. But I think in the interim, because they may have done that, there may be an egg out there with that, but as that being is growing, I just like the idea that he may have been a lot more directionless in the beginning. But the hive structure of their society may just pick one or two that starts to become the leader. Like the overall structure of his brain may change because the hive may want that to happen. So he starts having a direction and a goal. Which is an interesting idea and it's just enough to kick start them to be able to get to the ship to get back.”  
因为她突变进化成新的女王。（蜂巢一般是按计划产生女王。）
11) Why couldn’t Christopher just jack a chopper and fly the mothership away?  
为什么红虾不劫持一架飞机然后驾驶母舰离开
The mothership cannot be flown without the command module.  
因为没有指挥舱没法离开。

12) So this fuel magically transformed Wikus into a prawn? Very convienient.  
这个激化物是什么？为什么能让男猪脚变成大虾？
The biological goo-like substance containing alien DNA powered most of their technology, such as their weapons and the command module to the mothership. It is based off of prawn DNA, so if exposed to internally, it can actually alter another species’ DNA to integrate that of a prawn.  
这种液体就是在大虾的dna基础上做的。是武器、指挥舱等的能源，所以当与外界接触的时候，就能同化别的物种。
13) How in the world do Wikus and friends talk to prawns?  
为什么人类能和大虾说话
The prawns have lived integrated with human society for over 20 years. Because the new species was so heavily impactful, many humans must have learned to understand the prawn language in that time period. Especially hired MNU workers serving as ambassadors between the two species. It is important to note no species learned to speak the other's language, only understand it. Humans did not speak prawn, but they understood it. Prawns did not speak human, but they understood it.  
28年来，相互学习的结果。他们不能共通语言，但是知道彼此说什么。

14) What was the point of attempting to put fuel into the command module and fly up to the mothership if the tractor beam could have just picked it up all along?  
为什么既然可以通过射线让指挥舱起飞，还需要那管燃料干什么？
The command module controls all of the technology on the mothership. Without fuel in the command module, mothership could not identify the leader’s DNA, and Christopher would not have been able to activate the tractor beam in the first place.  
因为指挥舱控制母舰所有部分。没有那管液体的话，母舰无法识别领导者的DNA，红虾也没法开动射线。  

15) What were those scorpion-like creatures duking it out in the little arena? Those definitely weren't from Earth. Are they baby prawns?  
那些外星斗鸡是什么？小虾子么？
They were not baby prawns. Actually, they were the prawn equivalent of pests or rodents found aboard the mothership. 大虾的宠物狗。

为什么女王死了
娇生惯养

阿娇 腊肠希，泪流满面。。。。。。。

为什么液体喷了男主角那么多，还能启动飞船，而大虾也是花了20年才收集了那么一点，但从量上来判断，估计舍弃男主角身上的，明显10年久够了
不会收集一点测试下吗，再收集一点在测试下吗？

主人公不喷那点，所有人都就一起回去了
现在只能父子俩先回去加油

红虾不是母的么？公的被人类干了不是么？

搞半天红虾是母的，怪不得没那么暴力

红虾既然已经变成了新的女王，为什么不能对其他大虾进行控制？

女王…一般都不是很大只的咩

为什么不能把外星人设定的稍微能入眼一点，起码能对它们有点同情心
