《瘋狂動物城》是一座所有哺乳動物和諧共處的現代大都市,表面光鮮亮麗,底下卻暗湧着偏見與矛盾。來自小鎮的兔子朱迪·霍普斯懷揣警察夢,歷經重重考驗從警校畢業,成爲史上第一位兔警官。可剛入職,她就被派去調查一樁大型動物失蹤案,受害者無一例外都被貼上了“天敵”的標籤。經驗不足的她屢遭質疑,只得和狡猾的狐狸尼克·王爾德達成一種微妙的合作,藉助他的街頭智慧尋找線索。朱迪憑着敏銳的聽覺和不屈的韌勁一步步逼近真相,尼克也用自己的方式一次次幫上忙。他們最終揭開的,遠不止幾起失蹤——那是一場精心策劃的陰謀,市長助理貝爾韋思企圖利用恐慌情緒清除政敵、鞏固權力。最後的對峙中,朱迪頂住市長和輿論的雙重壓力,堅持公開調查結果;尼克也在關鍵時刻暴露了自己多年被迫妥協的傷痕。真相大白後,朱迪贏得了市民和警隊的認可,尼克重新拾起了被丟棄的理想,而動物城也開始認真反思偏見與包容的真正意義。 從這個故事裏,我們看到了夢想的力量——朱迪一次次被否定,卻一次次用行動證明自己,追夢這件事從來不分大小。也有人把它當作一面鏡子,食草動物與食肉動物的對立,映照着現實中種族、階層與標籤化的誤解,而理解與溝通永遠是打破隔閡的唯一路徑。朱迪和尼克從互相利用到彼此救贖,那種互補式的成長,讓人看到友誼最溫暖的治癒力。英文原版保留了電影對白的節奏感,詞彙鮮活,情節緊湊,學英語和看故事兩不耽誤,只是部分俚語和文化梗稍顯生僻,需要翻翻背景知識才能會心一笑。這本書的讀者羣很廣——彩色插圖版適合給孩子啓蒙,青少年能從勇氣與夢想裏找到共鳴,成年人則能在角色身上看見職場、社會乃至政治操弄的影子。比起電影,它更細膩;比起經典原著,它又更易讀。它是一部輕鬆的勵志童話,卻從不迴避現實的複雜。一隻兔子和一隻狐狸的破案經歷,最終講透了兩個樸素的道理:偏見可以被打破,夢想值得去堅持。讀它,既能收穫流暢的英文,也能在愉快的故事裏,悄悄思索生活本身。

When I was a kid, I thought Zootopia was this perfect place, where everyone got along and anyone could be anything. Turns out, real life is a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real life is messy, and we all have limitations, we all make mistakes. Which means, hey, glass half full, we all have a lot in common. And the more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will be, but we have to try, no matter what kind of person you are, try… Try to make the world a better place. Look inside yourself, and recognize that change starts with you. It starts with me, it starts with all of us. (Judy Hopps said)

這本英文小說很好看的,由電影改編的,電影我看了好多遍,每個情節基本上記住了,再來看英文小說容易得多。 這本小說很勵志,主要圍繞朱迪的成長展開。在這一路上很多人質疑她,嘲諷她,但是朱迪用實力去證明自己,有夢想去追逐,並且爲之付出相應的努力。不去試試怎麼知道自己不行,不輕易給自己貼“我不行”的標籤。 很喜歡這句:Tomorrow is another day.今天在糟糕也過去了,明天又是新的開始。別人看不起甚至嘲諷沒關係,只要自己上進就好了。 另一個故事線是朱迪和王爾德相互成長,彼此救贖。朱迪在牛警長說讓她辭職的時候,那一刻朱迪動搖了,一路走來沒有人支持她,都是自己默默承受,有委屈也有心酸,這時王爾德站出來替她說所有的不平,相信她繼續完成任務,給了朱迪希望。而正是朱迪讓王爾德找回了曾經的夢想,真正成爲一名警察。 朱迪那句:“沒有你,我完不成的”也讓王爾德找回自信,在一次次冒險中形成了獨有的默契。 狐狸挺狡猾的,說情話毫不遜色。“你知道我愛你”“是嘛也許我知道”挺有意思的對話。 電影瘋狂動物城2今年11月份上映了,聽說很有意思,值得觀看!😺 最後記下本書我不會的生詞: true-blue忠誠堅定 scam詭計 unrepentant頑固的 sloth樹懶 meek溫順的 improvisational即興的 cower畏縮 actuary精算師 almighty全能的strong-willed意志堅強的diaper n.尿布 frantic 發狂的 grievance,不滿的,抱怨的florist 花農,花商 hustle 欺詐行爲 snoop v.窺探 enlist 請求(幫助或支持)scrape together湊集mesmerize,迷住,吸引 van麪包車 creepy毛骨悚然的 Perch 棲息 usher 引導,引領 implore祈求

看過電影再看書還是比較輕鬆的,也幸虧有翻譯,不然我是萬萬不能讀下去的。 CHAPTER 1 原文:但隨着時間的推移,我們進化了,超越了我們原始、野蠻的方式。” A young sheep wearing a white robe and a cardboard rainbow on his head did an improvisational[插圖] 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.” 一隻穿着白色長袍、頭上戴着紙板彩虹的年輕小羊在舞臺上即興表演了一段舞蹈。朱迪和美洲虎也從盒子裏跳了出來,身上也穿着白色長袍。“現在,捕食者和獵物可以和諧共處了。” 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. 朱迪和美洲虎,作爲另一個友好的年輕人,在綿羊灑上閃閃發光的粉末時握手。“每個年輕的哺乳動物都有無數的機會,”朱迪說。 “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.” “是的。我不再需要擠在羊羣中瑟瑟發抖了,”綿羊說。然後他脫下長袍,露出自制宇航員服。“相反,我可以成爲一名宇航員。” “I don't have to grow up to be a lonely hunter, ” said the jaguar, showing a business suit under his robe. “我不一定要長大後成爲一個孤獨的獵人,”美洲虎說,他的長袍下露出一套西裝。 “Today I can hunt for tax exemptions[插圖]. I'm gonna be an actuary[插圖]! ” “今天我可以尋找稅收減免。我要成爲一名精算師!” “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[插圖]. ◆ did an improvisational dance ◆ 即興表演了一段舞蹈 原文:“And every young mammal has multitudinous opportunities, ”Judy said. 朱迪和美洲虎,作爲另一個友好的年輕人,在綿羊灑上閃閃發光的粉末時握手。“每個年輕的哺乳動物都有無數的機會,”朱迪說。 “Yeah.

That is the most stupidest thing I ever heard, ” he said. 在觀衆席上,一個名叫吉迪恩·格雷的淘氣小男孩對他的兩個朋友竊笑道:“邦尼警官,這是我聽過的最愚蠢的事情。” Back onstage, it was almost as if Judy had heard his remark[插圖]. “It may seem impossible… to small minds, ” she said, pointing at him. ◆ every young mammal has multitudinous opportunities 原文:“It may seem impossible… to small minds, ” she said, pointing at him. “I'm looking at you, Gideon Grey.”Judy snapped her fingers and a backdrop showing a bright city skyline unrolled behind her. “But just two hundred and eleven miles away stands the great city of… ZOOTOPIA! Where our ancestors first joined together in peace, and declared that ANYONE CAN BE ANYTHING! Thank you and good night! ” 回到舞臺上,就好像朱迪聽到了他的話一樣。“對小腦袋來說,這似乎是不可能的……”她指着他說,“我看着你,吉迪恩·格雷。”朱迪打了個響指,一個展示着明亮的城市天際線的背景在她身後展開。“但就在兩百一十一英里之外,矗立着偉大的城市……動物城!在那裏,我們的祖先第一次和平地聚在一起,宣佈任何人都可以成爲任何東西!謝謝大家,晚安!” Judy proudly bowed[插圖], as if she had just given the performance of her life. Dutiful applause came from the audience, including her parents, Bonnie and Stu Hopps. 朱迪驕傲地鞠躬,好像她剛剛獻上了她一生中最精彩的表演,包括她的父母邦妮和斯圖·霍普斯在內的觀衆禮貌地鼓掌。 Moments later, Judy, still wearing her police costume, excitedly exited the barn with her parents. Outside, the Carrot Days Festival was in full swing as everyone enjoyed booths, games, and rides. 片刻之後,朱迪仍然穿着她的警察制服,興奮地和她的父母一起走出馬廄。外面,胡蘿蔔日慶祝活動正在如火如荼地進行着,每個人都享受着攤位、遊戲和遊樂設施。 “Judy, ever wonder how your mom and me got to be so darn happy? ” Stu asked. “朱迪,你有沒有想過你媽媽和我是怎麼變得這麼幸福的?”斯圖問道。 “Nope, ” Judy answered. “沒有,”朱迪回答道。 “Well, I'll tell ya how, ” Stu continued, as if he hadn't heard Judy. “We gave up on our dreams and we settled, right, Bon? ” “好吧,我會告訴你怎麼做,”斯圖繼續說,好像他沒聽到朱迪的話,“我們放棄了夢想,安頓下來,對吧,邦?” 原文:在那裏,我們的祖先第一次和平地聚在一起,宣佈任何人都可以成爲任何東西!謝謝大家,晚安!” Judy proudly bowed[插圖], as if she had just given the performance of her life.

We settled hard.” “哦,是的,”邦妮同意道,“沒錯,斯圖,我們很努力。” “See, that's the beauty of complacency[插圖], Jude. If you don't try anything new, you'll never fail, ” Stu said. “看,這就是自滿的美妙之處,裘德,如果你不嘗試任何新的東西,你就永遠不會失敗,”斯圖說。 “I like trying, actually, ” Judy said. “事實上,我喜歡嘗試,”朱迪說。 Bonnie looked at their daughter. “What your father means, hon… it's gonna be difficult—impossible, even—for you to become a police officer.” 邦妮看着他們的女兒說:“親愛的,你父親的意思是……你成爲一名警察會很困難,甚至是不可能的。” “There's never been a bunny cop, ” Stu said. 原文:“好吧,我會告訴你怎麼做,”斯圖繼續說,好像他沒聽到朱迪的話,“我們放棄了夢想,安頓下來,對吧,邦?” “Oh yes, ” Bonnie agreed. “That's right, Stu.

Your dad and me and your two hundred seventy-five brothers and sisters—we're changing the world one carrot at a time, ”said Bonnie. “是的!你爸爸和我,還有你的275個兄弟姐妹,我們正一點一點地改變世界,”邦妮說。 “Amen to that. ◆ If you don't try anything new, you'll never fail 原文:“Amen to that. Carrot farming is a noble profession, ” Stu agreed. “阿門。胡蘿蔔種植是一項崇高的職業,”斯圖同意。 But Judy stopped paying attention to her parents when she spotted Gideon Grey following some little kids. She was instantly alert, and she went after him. 但當朱迪發現吉迪恩·格雷在跟蹤一些小孩時,她不再關注她的父母了。她立刻警覺起來,開始跟蹤他。 “You get it, honey? ” Bonnie asked Judy. “I mean, it's great to have dreams.” “你明白嗎,親愛的?”邦妮問朱迪,“我的意思是,有夢想是件很棒的事。” “Yeah, just as long as you don't believe in them too much, ” Stu continued as he looked around for his daughter. “Jude? Where the heck did she go? ” “是的,只要你不太相信他們就行了,”斯圖繼續說道,他四處張望着尋找女兒。“裘德?她到底去哪兒了?” ◆ a noble profession CHAPTER 2 原文:Judy got closer and saw Gideon Grey doing what the fox did best—bullying[插圖] some kids. ◆ I don't know when to quit CHAPTER 3 原文:Fifteen years later, Judy Hopps worked her tail off in the Zootopia Police Academy. She was small compared to the rest of the cadets—who were mostly elephants, rhinos, and bison—but she was strong-willed. ◆ she was strong-willed ◆ 她意志堅強 原文:Judy fell down more than anyone. In her mind she could hear the voices of her parents, her drill instructor, and Gideon Grey all doubting that there could ever be a bunny cop. And it was those voices that made Judy work harder than anyone else. Through persistence[插圖] and perseverance[插圖], she managed to keep up and surprise everyone. 朱迪摔倒的次數比其他人都多。在她的腦海裏,她可以聽到父母、教官和吉迪恩·格雷的聲音,他們都在懷疑是否真的會有一隻兔子警察。正是這些聲音讓朱迪比其他人更努力地工作。通過堅持和毅力,她設法跟上大家的步伐,讓大家大喫一驚。 In the final weeks of training, Judy used her bunny skills, like her strong legs and her great hearing, to help prove her worth. She sailed through the physical obstacles and at times even passed the other cadets. Once, she knocked down a male rhino ten times her size during a final sparring session! 在最後幾周的訓練中,朱迪利用自己的兔子技能,比如她強壯的腿和敏銳的聽力,來證明自己的價值。她輕鬆地通過了體能障礙,有時甚至超過了其他學員。有一次,在最後的格鬥訓練中,她打倒了比自己大十倍的雄性犀牛! On graduation day, Judy took her place among the other graduates during the ceremony, including the rhino who sported a fat lip and a black eye. The mayor, a lion named Leodore Lionheart, stepped up to the podium. 在畢業典禮上,朱迪和其他畢業生一起站在臺上,包括那隻嘴脣腫脹、眼睛烏青的犀牛。市長,一隻名叫利奧波德·里昂哈特的獅子,走上講臺。 “As mayor of Zootopia, I am proud to announce that my Mammal Inclusion Initiative has produced its first police academy graduate.The valedictorian[插圖] of her class… ZPD's[插圖] very first rabbit police officer, Judy Hopps. Assistant Mayor Bellwether, her badge? ” the mayor said to a small sheep standing nearby. “作爲《瘋狂動物城》的市長,我很自豪地宣佈,我的《哺乳動物包容計劃》培養出了第一位警校畢業生。 ◆ Through persistence and perseverance ◆ 通過堅持和毅力 原文:the mayor said to a small sheep standing nearby. “作爲《瘋狂動物城》的市長,我很自豪地宣佈,我的《哺乳動物包容計劃》培養出了第一位警校畢業生。她班上的優秀畢業生……《瘋狂動物城》的第一位兔子警官,朱迪·霍普斯。副市長貝爾維尤,她的徽章呢?”市長對旁邊的一隻小綿羊說道。 “Oh! Yes. Right, ” said Bellwether. “哦!是的。好的,”貝爾維尤說。 “Judy, it is my great privilege[插圖] to officially assign you to the heart of Zootopia: Precinct One, City Center, ” Lionheart said. “朱迪,我非常榮幸地正式將你分配到動物城的中心地帶:第一區,市中心,”獅心王說。 Judy walked across the stage to the sound of deafening applause—the loudest coming from her parents, even as Stu sobbed. 朱迪在震耳欲聾的掌聲中穿過舞臺——最響亮的掌聲來自她的父母,即使斯圖也在啜泣。 Mayor Lionheart handed Judy her diploma while Bellwether stepped forward and pinned her ZPD badge onto her uniform.“Congratulations, Officer Hopps.” 獅心市長把畢業證書遞給朱迪,貝爾維尤上前把她的 ZPD 徽章別在制服上。“恭喜你,霍普斯警官。” “I won't let you down. This has been my dream since I was a kid, ” said Judy. “我不會讓你失望的。這是我從小以來的夢想,”朱迪說。 “It's a real proud day for us little guys, ”Bellwether whispered. “對我們這些小傢伙來說,這是真正值得驕傲的一天,”貝爾維特低聲說道。 “Bellwether, make room, will you? ” said Lionheart, smiling broadly. “All right, Officer Hopps. Let's see those teeth! ” “領頭羊,讓一讓,好嗎?”獅心王微笑着說道。“好的,霍普斯警官。讓我們看看你的牙齒!” A photographer posed Judy with Mayor Lionheart and Bellwether. ◆ it is my great privilege ◆ 我非常榮幸地 原文:Judy walked across the stage to the sound of deafening applause—the loudest coming from her parents, even as Stu sobbed. 朱迪在震耳欲聾的掌聲中穿過舞臺——最響亮的掌聲來自她的父母,即使斯圖也在啜泣。 Mayor Lionheart handed Judy her diploma while Bellwether stepped forward and pinned her ZPD badge onto her uniform.“Congratulations, Officer Hopps.” 獅心市長把畢業證書遞給朱迪,貝爾維尤上前把她的 ZPD 徽章別在制服上。“恭喜你,霍普斯警官。” “I won't let you down.

2023年讀完的第1本書《瘋狂動物城》(迪士尼英文原版) 一隻狐狸勝過所有迪士尼王子!距離第一次看這個電影已經過去了好幾年,這幾天看了英文原著,仍然會對一隻狐狸心動,當然也非常愛judy。 不同的年齡段看這個電影(或者原著)一定有不同的想法,兒童看可愛動物世界,青年人看追逐夢想,成年人看階級偏見和政治諷刺。個人看完這個故事之後的感悟: ❶關於偏見 雖然在動物城的設定中,城市已經現代化,沒有食肉動物與食草動物的追逐與殺戮。但這並非一個十全十美的世界,在充滿文明與秩序的同時,也存在欺凌,歧視與不公。 在這個世界中,動物們對狐狸的偏見是“sly”,對兔子的偏見是“dumb”。尼克回想起小時候的童子軍事件時,說到:“If the world's only gonna see a fox as shifty and untrustworthy, there's no point trying to be anything else.”尼采說過:“我們的眼睛就是我們的監獄,而目之所及就是監獄的圍牆。”保持理性,心懷善意,不僅僅是這個時代裏最可貴的箴言,亦是脫離偏見,治癒人心的良藥。願我們都能破除偏見的禁錮,以溫涼感悟世界。 ❷關於成長 Gideon小時候欺負(bully)judy的小夥伴,長大後是hopps一家的搭檔,手藝高超。Nick小時候被食草動物欺負,長大後成爲一個狡猾耍小聰明的商人,但在judy的善意下也迴歸了本心。成長會改變一個人,這是毋庸置疑的,但是往什麼方向改變會受環境的影響,希望每個孩子都能在溫暖善意的環境下長成自己喜歡的大人。 ❸關於夢想 judy克服同齡人的奚落和嘲笑、克服自身的劣勢(小小一隻bunny)從警校畢業,又克服父母的不理解、上級的不重視在工作崗位上兢兢業業堅守,克服破案的重重困難、羊市長的誘惑,最終成功撥開真相的迷霧,judy的經歷是主線,再大的困難都阻擋不了她追逐夢想的步伐,或許成年人在看到judy忙碌一天回到出租屋佯裝開心與父母通話後,關燈委屈的哭出來時,也看到了自己的影子吧。 ❹關於友誼 judy和nick相處合作的開端是judy以Nick的把柄相要挾,但隨着相處的深入,二人產生了深厚的友誼和默契,友誼也經受住了考驗。 “When I was a kid, I thought Zootopia was this perfect place where everyone got along and anyone could be anything… Turns out, real life's a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real life is messy. We all have limitations. We all make mistakes, which means… hey, glass half full! We all have a lot in common. And the more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will be. But we have to try. No matter what type of animal you are, from the biggest elephant to our first fox, I implore you: Try. Try to make a difference. Try to make the world better. Try to look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you. It starts with me. It starts with all of us.”——judy

很有趣的一本書。 一隻有夢想的兔子Judy和一隻得過且過的狐狸Nick,迫不得已,聯合破案,拯救了被壞人故意弄瘋了的市民的故事。 語言簡潔生動, 故事情節緊湊,吸引着讀者不知不覺讀下去。 好看,四星推薦。 從學英語的角度來說,這也是一本很適合學習的書。裏面有很多日常對話,可以學習。 有些詞也用的特別形象,值得再次閱讀並學習。 例如: “She pressed her face against the glass and watched each borough of the city pass by.” 覺得這個press用的很妙,非常形象。 還有其它的例子,就不一一例舉了。 讀完後,我印象最深的有兩點: 1. 當Judy 快速的算出Nick 的真實收入,並用Nick 沒有誠實繳稅,來威脅Nick 和她一起查案時,我不由感嘆: 數學真是太重要了!你看,重要關頭,要不是數學好,Judy 哪能抓到Nick 的把柄,從而得到一個破案好搭檔呢? 2.第三章中, Judy 說到 “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, '” (我們唯一需要害怕的是恐懼本身)。 這句話,非常有啓發性。 書的最後,案子破了,原來是市長 Dawn Bellwether利用人們的恐懼心理(fear), 來剷除異己,達到自己目的,得到更大的權勢。 可見,fear 這種情緒的影響和破壞力有多大。 但恐懼又是人正常的一種情緒。 那麼,如何正視恐懼這個情緒,勇敢的戰勝恐懼,也是我們應該思考的一個問題。

這是翻譯的第二本童話小說,一共用時32小時37分鐘,明顯感覺自己比翻譯上一本的時候進步了一些,不過對於其中的俚語和固定用法的理解還是非常不足,這方面的能力真的需要進行刻意練習才能夠真正的有所領會。雖然距離之前翻譯美劇《權利的遊戲》已經過去了兩年多的時間,但是也許對於作爲一個非母語者的英語學習者來說,翻譯或許是能夠彌合這兩種語言之間比較有效的方式。因爲我們無論是看到或者是聽到有關英語的內容的時候,我們都很難真正做到,以這門語言對世界的認知方式來直接體會,還是需要我們在腦海中進行適當的過渡,過渡成爲我們熟悉的中文進行理解。在這個過程當中,鍛鍊翻譯的好處我想是能夠加快我們這種過渡的速度,只有先把這種理解的速度提升起來才能夠體會書中的故事性和趣味性。希望能夠對喜歡英語的朋友有所啓發,一起加油!一起進步!聖誕快樂!

After watching it, I benefited a lot. In fact, when people get along with each other, whether rich or poor, noble or humble, weak or strong, they only need to have a generous heart and learn to bend.👌

我比較喜歡這一本,它觸到幾個現實問題,值得一看。 1、激情滿滿走入社會的青年們夢想與現實的衝突和處理問題。  我覺得,人這一生一定要有夢想並且去追求,即使碰破了頭也要試過纔行。萬一實現了呢?[調皮]當然,還要心中有備,並不是所有的夢想都能實現,但可以在路上看見更真實的自己,發現也許更好的生活方式[微笑]。 2、世俗偏見的問題。我個人的看法是:不和頑固的偏見較真兒,最好的做法是以柔克剛,針對實際尋求因應之道。讓自己現實些理性點,絕不能做堂吉柯德[調皮],更不必無謂的憤世嫉俗,甚至自暴自棄。 3、長期被忽略被輕視的羣體關注問題。      小人物也能掀起大風浪,像故事中的Bellwether, 誰能想到溫順懦弱的小綿羊居然是罪惡的幕後操縱人呢? 因爲認爲自己underestimated and underappreciated(自認爲被低估,沒有被賞識重用) 所以走上了變態的自我證明之路。現實生活中類似事件不勝枚舉。減少這種悲劇發生,我覺得兩方面着手吧:一是擁有某些優勢或者權利的人收起傲慢,尊重每個個體,平等對待強大和弱小的羣體,還尊嚴於人;二是個人加強學習,瞭解信息,增加溝通,不要鑽牛角尖。同時社會做好宣傳講解力度,信息對稱度高了,誤解就會少。 4、種族歧視與族羣融合問題。這是美國社會的大課題。對個人而言,尊重他人,心懷善意,真誠待人,從我做起就好了。 5、朋友間的誤解與合作問題。 我認爲,真誠互信是基礎,不要高估自己的能力,也不要低估他人的智商,就不會有太大的問題。 孔子說,三人行必有我師,動畫小故事裏也有大道理。只要閱讀、思考,總能學到知識,懂得道理,悟到警醒。感謝微讀!

“Real life is messy. We all have limitations. We all make mistakes, which means… hey, glass half full! We all have a lot in common. And the more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will be.” Never underestimate cartoons!We can learn more things from the cartoons than we think.
