E05 首位兔子警官诞生

原文及翻译 

 “As mayor of Zootopia, I am proud to announce that my Mammal Inclusion Initiative has produced its first police academy graduate. The valedictorian of her class...ZPD’s very first rabbit police officer, Judy Hopps. Assistant Mayor Bellwether, her badge?” the mayor said to a small sheep standing nearby.

“作为动物城的市长，我很荣幸地宣布‘动物选拔计划’产生了第一届警察学院毕业生。致告别辞的毕业生代表是……动物城警察局史上第一位兔子警官——朱迪·霍普斯。羊副市长， 她的徽章呢？”市长对站在身旁的一只小个头绵羊说道。

“Oh! Yes. Right,” said Bellwether.

“Judy, it is my great privilege to officially assign you to the heart of Zootopia: Precinct One, City Center,” Lionheart said.

哦！对，在这里。”羊副市长说道。

“朱迪，我很荣幸地正式派你去动物城的中心 ：中心城 1 号辖区。”狮市长说道。

Judy walked across the stage to the sound of deafening applause—the loudest coming from her parents, even as Stu sobbed.

伴随着震耳欲聋的鼓掌声，朱迪穿过颁奖台走了过来—— 最响亮的掌声来自她的父母，斯图甚至都激动得抽泣起来。

Mayor Lionheart handed Judy her diploma while Bellwether stepped forward and pinned her ZPD badge onto her uniform. “Congratulations, Officer Hopps.”

羊副市长走向前，将动物城警察局徽章别在朱迪的制服上， 狮市长则把证书递给了朱迪。“恭喜，霍普斯警官。”

“I won’t let you down. This has been my dream since I was a kid,” said Judy.

“It’s a real proud day for us little guys,” Bellwether whispered.

我不会您失望的。这是我从小的梦想。”朱迪说道。 “这真是我们小个头动物值得骄傲的日子。”羊副市长轻声说道。

“Bellwether, make room, will you?” said Lionheart, smiling broadly. “All right, Officer Hopps. Let’s see those teeth!”

“羊副市长，腾个地儿，好吗？”狮市长笑容可掬地说道，“好了，霍普斯警官，让我们面带笑容！”

A photographer posed Judy with Mayor Lionheart and Bellwether. But Lionheart edged Bellwether out of the photo.

一位摄影师摆好了朱迪与狮市长和羊副市长的姿势。但是狮市长将羊副市长挤出了镜头。

Days later, Judy’s parents, along with several siblings, accompanied her to the train station.

几天后，朱迪的父母和几位兄弟姐妹陪伴她来到了火车站。

“We’re real proud of you, Judy,” said Bonnie.

“我们真为你感到骄傲，朱迪。”邦妮说道。

“Yeah. Scared, too,” said Stu.

“Really, it’s a proud-scared combo. I mean, Zootopia. It’s so far away and such a big city.”

“的确。也很担心，”斯图说道，“实际上，是既骄傲又担惊受怕。我是说，动物城离家太远，而且城市太大。”

“Guys, I’ve been working for this my whole life,” Judy told her parents, trying to hide how thrilled she really was.

“各位，我这辈子都在为此奋斗，”朱迪一边对她的父母说着， 一边尽力掩饰她是多么喜不自胜。

“We know,” said Bonnie. “And we’re just a little excited for you, but terrified.”

“‘The only thing we have to fear is fear itself,’” said Judy.

“我们唯一需要害怕的就是害怕本身。”朱迪说道。
