"能源有限 節約為先" 怎麼翻成英文 才會詞性優美? -----
這句中文，是有點對仗，翻成英文首先當然要合乎文法，再講究用字的精簡，基本上句子結構應該還是用"附屬子句, 主要子句."或"分詞構句"(就是"分詞引導的子句, 主要子句.")的格式．前段表示原因，後段表達行動：
直接的翻法：
As energy is limited, saving it gets priority. = Energy being limited, saving it gets priority.(limited:有限的 /priority:優先)
其他的翻法：
As enerygy gets scarce, saving it should be our (first) chase. (scarce:稀有 /chase: 追求的事物)
As energy becomes a rarity, frugality (becomes) our priority. (become: 變成 /rarity:稀有的事物)說明："rarity"和"priority"兩字有韻腳"...rity"
The earth being low on energy, saving it should be high in priority. (low on energy:能源數量低)說明：用"low"和"high"來對比

frugality：節約，儉省
