Inside Out

头脑特工队

1.

As a lively little girl, Riley (莱莉) was always on the move. There was a whole world bustling (忙碌的) with activity inside her mind, and Headquarters (大脑总部) was at the heart of it all. From there, Riley’s Five Emotions (五个情绪小人) watched each day unfold for their favorite (特别喜爱的) girl.

莱莉是一个活泼的小女孩，她总是动个不停。莱莉的大脑中有一个忙碌又有生机的世界，这个世界的中心就是大脑总部。莱莉的五个情绪小人看着他们最爱的这个女孩度过每一天。

Riley’s lead Emotion, Joy (乐乐), loved Riley more than anything and worked day and night to help her have the best life possible.

莱莉脑中的情绪小人首领，乐乐，爱莱莉胜过所有的一切。她日夜工作，尽力帮莱莉过上最好的生活。

The sight of happy yellow memories (记忆) rolling through Headquarters let Joy know she was doing a good job.

只要看见代表快乐的黄色记忆球顺着大脑总部滚下来，乐乐就知道她的工作完成得很出色。

Joy liked being in control (控制), but she understood why Riley occasionally (偶尔) needed her other Emotions, too.

乐乐喜欢掌控总部，但是她明白，莱莉偶尔也需要其他情绪小人。

Well, most of them, anyway . . .

好吧，（其实需要）绝大多数情绪小人，不管怎样……

For example, Riley needed Fear (怕怕) to stay safe.

比如，莱莉需要怕怕来让自己保持安全。

Be it power cords (电源线) or puppies, whenever Riley faced a potential hazard (危险), Fear was there to carefully guide her out of danger.

要是碰到电源线或者狗狗，反正无论何时莱莉遇到潜在的危险，怕怕都会小心地引导莱莉远离危险。

And of course, Riley needed Disgust’s (厌厌) good taste to avoid (避免) being poisoned, both physically and socially. Disgust helped Riley steer clear of (避开) anything and everything she found repulsive (令人厌恶的), from horrible food to rotten (坏的，堕落的) people.

当然了，莱莉需要厌厌敏锐的味觉帮助她免受身体上和社会上的毒害。厌厌帮助莱莉远离所有她觉得厌恶的东西，无论是难吃的食物还是坏人。

When Riley faced something unfair, Anger (怒怒) was there to right every wrong. With his loud growls and well-placed scowls (皱眉，怒视), Anger fought Riley’s battles like a pro. And if he got really mad (生气，发脾气), flames shot out of his head!

当莱莉面对不公的时候，怒怒就会跳出来纠正错误。他大声怒吼，怒目而视，像专业人士那样为了莱莉战斗。如果他极度生气的话，他头上就会冒出火焰！

Then there was Sadness (忧忧).

然后就是忧忧。

Joy had no idea why Riley needed Sadness. All she seemed to do was make Riley feel gloomy (沮丧的), and Joy never wanted that! So, naturally (自然地), Joy tried her best to keep Sadness as far away from the controls as possible.

乐乐不知道为什么莱莉需要忧忧。忧忧能做的好像就是让莱莉感到沮丧，而乐乐最讨厌那样！所以自然而然地，乐乐就尽可能地让忧忧远离控制中心。

All of Riley’s memories were important. But her five core memories (核心记忆球)—formed from the biggest moments in her life—were VERY important. Core memories powered Riley’s Islands of Personality (个性小岛). Family Island (家人岛), Honesty Island (诚实岛), Hockey Island (冰球岛), Friendship Island (友谊岛), and Goofball Island (淘气岛) made Riley who she was.

莱莉所有的记忆都很重要。但是她的五个核心记忆球——由她人生中最重大的时刻组成的——才是重中之重。核心记忆球能给莱莉的个性小岛供应电量。家人岛、诚实岛、冰球岛、友谊岛、淘气岛，这些小岛决定了莱莉的性格。

For years, Joy successfully (成功地) ran Headquarters and Riley had a great childhood. Most of her memories were a happy shade of yellow, and her Islands of Personality thrived.

这些年，乐乐一直成功地管理着大脑总部，让莱莉有了一个美好的童年。莱莉的大部分记忆都是快乐的黄色记忆球，她的个性小岛也欣欣向荣。

But when Riley was eleven years old, her parents made a surprising decision (做决定) that changed everything.

但是当莱莉十一岁的时候，她的父母做了一个惊人的决定，这个决定改变了一切。

The family moved across the country from Minnesota (明尼苏达州) to San Francisco (旧金山)! But the bustling city wasn’t anything like Riley and her Emotions expected.

他们家要跨越大半个国家，从明尼苏达州搬到旧金山去！但是这座繁忙的城市一点也不像莱莉和情绪小人们所期待的那样。

“I don’t want to live here,” Sadness whimpered when they pulled up to Riley’s new home.

“我不想住在这儿，”当他们到达莱莉的新家时，忧忧小声咕哝道。

“It’s the worst,” Disgust agreed. “The absolute worst.”

“真是糟透了，”厌厌赞同道，“绝对是最糟的。”

“This house stinks!” Anger declared.

“这个房子臭死了！”怒怒宣称。

“San Francisco is terrible,” said Fear.

“旧金山太可怕了，”怕怕说。

Joy was determined to keep Riley happy. She had an idea for how to turn things around, so she plugged a lightbulb (灯泡) into the console (控制台).

乐乐决心要让莱莉开心起来。她想了个办法来改变事态，她把点子灯泡嵌入了控制台。

All Five Emotions watched as Riley challenged (挑战) her parents to a game of living-room hockey. Soon, the whole family was having fun (玩儿得开心)!

五个情绪小人看着莱莉挑战自己的父母来玩儿客厅冰球游戏。果然很快，这家人就开心得玩儿起来了！

Joy always seemed to make things better.

乐乐好像总是能把事情变得更好。
