E01故事开始的地方

原文及翻译 

The wild sounds of ancient predators echoed through a large barn in Bunnyburrow. A young bunny named Judy Hopps appeared on a makeshift stage, trying to find her way through a papier-mâché and cardboard jungle.

在一个叫兔窝镇的地方,古老的食肉动物那野性的吼声在一间宽敞的谷仓里回荡着。一只叫朱迪·霍普斯的年轻兔子出现在一个临时搭建的舞台上,正想方设法寻找一条道路,要穿过由混凝纸浆和硬纸板做的丛林。


Judy’s voice rang out loud and clear. “Fear. Treachery. Bloodlust! Thousands of years ago, these were the forces that ruled our world. A world where prey were scared of predators. And predators had an uncontrollable desire to maim and maul and—”

朱迪那响亮而清晰的声音突然响起 :恐惧。背叛。血腥屠杀!几千年之前,这些暴力行为统治着我们这个世界 —— 一个猎物害怕食肉动物的世界,而食肉动物有着不可控制的欲望去残害、殴打和 —— ”


Suddenly, a jaguar leapt on her from the shadows! “Blood, blood, blood!” Judy screamed as she crumpled under the attack. “And death.”

突然,一头美洲豹从阴影处向她扑了过来!谋杀,谋杀,谋杀!朱迪受到攻击瘫倒在地后大叫道,和屠杀。


After a long and drawn-out moment of terrible silence, Judy sat up, faced the confused audience, and smiled as she continued her monologue. A banner reading CARROT DAYS TALENT SHOW hung over the stunned crowd.

可怕的沉默持续了很长一段时间,然后朱迪坐起来,面对着困惑不解的观众,微笑着继续她的独白。在目瞪口呆的观众上方,悬挂着一条写着胡萝卜节达人秀的横幅。


“Back then, the world was divided in two: vicious predator or meek prey.” Two cardboard boxes dropped down from the ceiling. The first, labeled vicious predator in crayon, landed on top of the jaguar, and the second, labeled meek prey, landed on Judy. The boxes settled on their shoulders so their heads, arms, and legs stuck out. “But over time, we evolved and moved beyond our primitive, savage ways.”

当时,整个世界被一分为二 :凶残的食肉动物和温顺的猎物。两个纸板箱从天花板上落了下来。一个用蜡笔写着凶残的食肉动物的纸板箱降落在美洲豹的上方,而另一个写着顺的猎物的纸板箱则落在了朱迪的头顶。这两个箱子最终停留在他们的肩头,所以他们的头、胳膊和腿都伸了出来。但是久而久之,我们进化了,摆脱了之前原始、野蛮的方式。


A young sheep wearing a white robe and a cardboard rainbow on his head did an improvisational dance across the stage. Judy and the jaguar burst out of their boxes, now wearing white robes, too. “Now predator and prey live in harmony.”

一只年轻的小绵羊,身穿白袍子,头戴用纸板做成的彩虹,在舞台上即兴跳了一段舞蹈。朱迪和美洲豹突然从箱子里冲出来,此刻他们也都穿着白袍子。现在,食肉动物和猎物和睦相处了。


Judy and the jaguar, revealed as another friendly youngster, shook hands as the sheep sprinkled glitter on them. “And every young mammal has multitudinous opportunities,” Judy said.

朱迪和这头作为另一位友好青年出现的美洲豹握手言欢,这时小绵羊向他们挥洒着闪光纸屑。每个年轻的动物都有各种各样的机会。朱迪说道。


“Yeah. I don’t have to cower in a herd anymore,”said the sheep. Then he ripped off his robe, revealing a homemade astronaut costume. “Instead, I can be an astronaut.”

对。我再也不用战战兢兢地躲在羊群里了。小绵羊说道。说完,他撕破身上的袍子,露出了自制的宇航服 :相反,我可以做宇航员。


“I don’t have to grow up to be a lonely hunter,”said the jaguar, showing a business suit under his robe.

我长大也不用当一名孤独的猎兽了。美洲豹说完,展示出了袍子里面的西装。


“Today I can hunt for tax exemptions. I’m gonna be an actuary!”

如今我可以寻求税收减免。我要当精算师!


“And no longer do I have to blindly serve the almighty carrot,” said Judy. “I can make the world a better place—saving lives, defending the defenseless! I am going to be...” Judy ripped off her robe and stood in a blue uniform. “A police officer!

我再也不用盲目地服务于万能的胡萝卜。朱迪说道,我要让世界变得更美好——拯救生命,保护弱者!我要当……”她一把扯掉袍子,身着蓝色制服站在那里,继续说道 :一名警官!
