2020-01-30来源:和谐英语

中国的十二生肖中,老鼠排在第一位。虽然大部分情况下老鼠都是以不讨喜的形象出现在各类作品中,但是今天带来的是在电影和动画中拥有美好形象的老鼠角色。那么,就让我们一起来看看吧!

1. Shuke and Beita: the bravest
舒克和贝塔:最勇敢的老鼠

To the Chinese people, Shuke and Beita are probably two of the most popular animated mice characters.

对中国人来说,舒克和贝塔可能是最受欢迎的两只动画老鼠角色。

The original images of the mice are from an animation series produced by Shanghai Animation Film Studio. The animation was adapted from Chinese fairy tale author Zheng Yuanjie's children's novel "Shuke and Beita".

这两只老鼠的原始形象来自上海美术电影制片厂制作的一部动画系列作品。该动画改编自中国童话大王郑渊洁的儿童小说《舒克和贝塔》。

Shuke was born in the family of rats, and was unfairly attacked for "coming from the thieves' family," while Beita was also a mouse who was separated from its family after being chased by a cat. There's one thing in common between the two mice that they don't like to steal food like other mice. They later grow up to become a pilot and a tankman respectively. The pair met accidentally and became good friends. Then they befriended a boy named PiPilu. With the help of PiPilu, they co-founded an airline named Shuke Beita Airlines to help other animals in trouble and become heroes in their community.

舒克出生于老鼠家族,因"家族都是小偷"而受到不公平的攻击,贝塔也是一只老鼠,他在被猫追赶后与家人分离。两只小老鼠有一个共同点,他们不想像其他老鼠一样偷食物。他们后来分别成长为飞行员和坦克手。两人不期而遇,成了好朋友。然后他们和一个叫皮皮鲁的男孩交上了朋友。在皮皮鲁的帮助下,他们共同创办了舒克贝塔航空公司,帮助其他有困难的动物,成为社区英雄。

In 2018, Tencent Video announced plans to recreate the story of Shuke and Beita. A film inspired by the two characters is also in the making. Packed with new technologies, the superhero mice may become new friends to today's tech-savvy children, just like they once befriended their parents' generation.

2018年,腾讯视频宣布计划再现舒克和贝塔的故事。一部由这两个角色启发的电影也正在制作中。随着新技术的出现,这两只超级老鼠英雄可能会和当今精通科技产品的孩子们成为新朋友,就像他们曾与这些孩子的父母一代成为朋友一样。

2. Blue Mouse: the mouse that befriends cat

The protagonists of the cartoon, blue mouse and big faced cat, are stars of Magic Acrobatic Troupe. The cartoon was very popular with children for its humorous stories.

《蓝皮鼠和大脸猫》是一部国产动画片,改编自著名儿童文学作家葛冰的同名作品《蓝皮鼠和大脸猫》。主角蓝皮鼠和大脸猫是魔奇杂技团的明星。《蓝皮鼠和大脸猫》因为其内容诙谐深受小朋友的喜爱。

The blue mouse is smart and helpful, full of ideas and ingenuity, while the big faced cat is charmingly naive, gluttonous and lazy. They are both kind-hearted and cowardly.

杰瑞:最聪明的老鼠

It is hard to find a person who hasn't watched animation series "Tom and Jerry" as a child. Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse, with their hilarious chasing act, have accompanied many generations in different countries and regions around the world.

想找到一个小时候没看过动画片《猫和老鼠》的人很难。汤姆猫和杰瑞鼠你追我赶的闹剧陪伴过世界各地不同国家和地区的很多代人。

The series was created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera in 1940. Since then, several series have been produced centering the two enemy-like friends, and most of them have managed to achieve both critical and commercial acclaim.

1940年威廉·汉纳和约瑟·巴贝拉联手打造了这部动画片。从那以后,围绕着这两个似敌似友的角色制作了一季又一季动画片,大多数都是口碑和商业收益双丰收。

和皮卡丘一样,我们很难将日本动画《龙猫》中的这个角色和老鼠联系到一起。但是龙猫的形象是受南美栗鼠启发而创作出来的。

Chinchilla bears a stark resemblance to rats and mice, but it is much larger. Some people also pet these cute furballs. In Chinese, it is called "Long Mao", combining the name of dragon and cat, which makes it sound special.

南美栗鼠酷似老鼠,但比老鼠大得多。有些人还会养这种毛绒绒的可爱动物当宠物。在中国,人们把南美栗鼠叫作“龙猫”,听起来很特别。

Due to his gift with food, he always tries his best to make the food high-standard.

小米是2007年美国电脑动画喜剧片《料理鼠王》中一只智力超群的理想主义小老鼠。他有着异常敏锐的味觉和嗅觉,梦想成为一名厨师,就像他的偶像已故的奥古斯特·古斯特一样。他特殊的才能为他在老鼠家族中赢得了一份毒物检测员的工作。由于他对食物的天赋,他总是尽力做出高标准的食物。

He befriended Linguini, the garbage boy, in Auguste Gusteau's restaurant, who affectionately calls him "Little Chef" and cannot cook. He then hides under Linguini's toque and guides his movements like a marionette by pulling on his hair. At the end of Ratatouille, Remy's dream comes true and he becomes a chef at the La Ratatouille bistro in Paris.

在奥古斯特·古斯特餐厅,他和清洁小工林奎尼交上了朋友,林奎尼不会做饭,还亲切地称他为”小厨师”。然后,他躲在林奎尼的厨师帽里,像拉着牵线木偶一样拉着他的头发指导他做饭。在《料理鼠王》影片的结尾,小米实现了自己的梦想,他成为了巴黎La Ratatouille小餐厅的厨师。
