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。）

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？
