Sonic the Hedgehog 2 /《刺猬索尼克2》(cìwei suǒníkè èr)

1. Whether you want to hear this or not, you are still just a kid.

不管你爱不爱听,你现在都还只是个小孩子。

(bùɡuǎn nǐ àibùài tīnɡ, nǐ xiànzài dōuhái zhǐshì ɡè xiǎoháizi.)

2. You got some more growing up to do before you're ready to be the big hero.

要想成为大英雄,得等你再长大一些。

(yàoxiǎnɡ chénɡwéi dàyīnɡxiónɡ, děiděnɡ nǐ zàizhǎnɡdà yīxiē.)

3. There will come a time when your powers will be needed. But you don't choose that moment. That moment chooses you.

到了某个时刻你的能力就会有用武之地了。但那个时刻不是由你来选择的,它自己会选中你。

(dàole mǒuɡè shíkè nǐde nénɡlì jiùhuì yǒu yònɡwǔzhīdì le. dàn nàɡè shíkè bùshì yóunǐ lái xuǎnzé de, tā zìjǐ huì xuǎnzhōnɡ nǐ.)

4. I don't know how you got back, but you made a big mistake coming here.

我不知道你是怎么回来的,但你到这里来是一个巨大的错误。

5. Your negative attitude is not helping anyone.

你的消极态度对任何人都没有帮助。

(nǐ de xiāojí tàidù duì rènhé rén dōu méiyǒu bānɡzhù.)

6. You want something done right, you have to hire someone you can push around.

要想做好某件事,你就得雇用听你使唤的人。

(yàoxiǎnɡ zuòhǎo mǒujiàn shì, nǐ jiùděi ɡùyònɡ tīnɡnǐ shǐhuàn de rén.)

7. Being a hero isn't about taking care of yourself. It's about taking responsibility for other people. 

成为英雄不是要照顾好自己,而是要为他人承担责任。

(chénɡwéi yīnɡxiónɡ bùshì yào zhàoɡù hǎo zìjǐ, érshì yào wèi tārén chénɡdān zérèn.)
