From the movie Cars
选自电影《赛车总动员》
故事梗概：“闪电”麦奎因出生时就是一部性能优良的高级赛车，作为新手的它在“活塞杯”大奖赛上大出风头，成为冠军的有利争夺者。然而，过分自信和高傲使它身边没有一个知心朋友。一次偶然的事故，让麦奎因来到一个位于“Route 66”高速公路边上的小镇。这里居住的几乎全部是快被淘汰的旧款车。它们在繁华的现代社会中另辟蹊径，建立了一个与世隔绝的原始世界。作为赛车场上的明日之星，麦奎因本来不屑与这些上不了台面的生锈铁皮打交道，然而在被困在镇上的几日里，他却渐渐被这些淳朴的汽车居民们所吸引，甚至发现村里的赫德森大夫竟是当年大名鼎鼎的冠军赛车……
Lightning McQueen: Doc, hold it! Seriously, your driving’s incredible!
Doc Hudson: Wonderful. Now, go away.
Lightning McQueen: Hey, I mean it. You’ve still got it!
Doc Hudson: I’m askin’ you to leave.
Lightning McQueen: Come on. I’m a racecar, you’re…a much older racecar, but under the 1)hood you and I are the same.
Doc Hudson: We are not the same! Understand? Now, get out.
Lightning McQueen: How could a car like you quit at the top of your game?
Doc Hudson: You think I quit?
[Lightning McQueen saw the old newspaper on the wall.]
Lightning McQueen: Your big 2)wreck in ’54.
Doc Hudson: ①They quit on me. When I finally got put together, I went back expecting a big welcome. You know what they said? “You’re history.” Moved right onto the next 3)rookie standing in line. ②There was a lot left in me. I never got a chance to show ’em. I keep that to remind me never to go back. I just never expected that that world would...would find me here.
Lightning McQueen: Hey, look, Doc, I’m not them.
Doc Hudson: Oh, yeah?
Lightning McQueen: No, I’m not.
Doc Hudson: When is the last time you cared about something except yourself, 4)hot rod? ③You name me one time and I will take it all back. Uh-huh. I didn’t think so. ④These are good folk around here, who care about one another. ⑤I don’t want ’em depending on someone they can’t count on.
Lightning McQueen: Oh, like you? You’ve been here how long and your friends don’t even know who you are? Who’s caring about only himself?
Doc Hudson: Just finish that road and get outta here!
“闪电”麦奎因：赫德森大夫，等等！说真的，你的技术真是出神入化！
赫德森大夫：好极了，现在你可以走了。
“闪电”麦奎因：嘿，我说真的，你真是宝刀未老啊！
赫德森大夫：我说你可以走了。
“闪电”麦奎因：拜托。我是赛车，你是……更老的赛车，可我们骨子里是一样的。
赫德森大夫：我们不一样！懂了吗？你给我走吧。
“闪电”麦奎因：像你这样的车，怎会在高峰时期放弃呢？
赫德森大夫：你以为是我放弃的？
（“闪电”麦奎因看见墙上的旧报纸。）
“闪电”麦奎因：你在1954年发生了意外。
赫德森大夫：是它们放弃了我。等我终于复原，我以为会受到热烈的欢迎，可你知道它们怎么说？“你已经成为历史了”，就转而注意下一个菜鸟新秀了。我仍有雄心壮志，却没有机会展现了。我留着那张剪报就是为了提醒自己再也别回去了。我只是没想到那个世界
会……会在这儿找到我。
“闪电”麦奎因：嘿，你瞧，赫德森大夫，我可不是他们。
赫德森大夫：喔？是吗？
“闪电”麦奎因：没错，我可不是。
赫德森大夫：你除了在乎你自己，什么时候关心过别人，小鬼？你只要说出一次，我就收回我的话。哼，我想也是没有。这里的居民都很善良，彼此关怀照顾，我不希望它们去依靠靠不住的人。
“闪电”麦奎因：哦，你是说你吗？你在这儿多久了而你的朋友连你是谁都不知道，是谁只关心自己啊？
赫德森大夫：赶快铺好那条路，然后滚蛋吧！
