2024.3.24星期日

周日的阳光恬静而闲适地洒落，营造出一种悠然自得的气息，让人渴慕能在这样一个无忧无虑的周末沉浸其中，然而内心深处对英语求知的热情，以及为了调和枯燥学习生活臆想出的那只怀抱胡萝卜、充满力量的小豹子，终究催促着我战胜疲惫的躯壳，缓缓而坚定地走向书桌，脑海中不禁先勾勒出小豹子即将展开的探险蓝图（好像有点本末倒置了）。

当内心的美洲豹形象悄然隐退，我开始漫步在这看似紧凑却生机勃勃的兔窝小镇。街头巷尾，众多活泼的小兔子们成群结队，在笑声萦绕中穿梭在古朴的街道，他们身上穿戴的款式相近的服饰使人一时眼花缭乱；沿途各类热闹纷呈的小店汇聚着络绎不绝的访客，似乎无论何事总能找到同好之人。在这喧闹之中，独有一位正奋力推着装载着两三只小浣熊的小汽车的浣熊妈妈尤为引人侧目，而一旁浣熊爸爸则满脸苦笑地在驾驶位上艰难尝试启动车子。

“需要我帮把手吗？”我走上前去，把手搭在那辆迷你汽车上。“那可真是太好了！”浣熊爸爸感激地回应，“若是多一份力量，或许我们就能成功启动它。”随后，我和浣熊妈妈一起合力推动小汽车，不久之后，引擎终于发出轰鸣声。当我松开手的一刹那，不禁好奇心起：“你们这是要出发去哪里？”浣熊妈妈答道：“我们来此探亲，此刻正准备返程回到动物城。”听闻他们要前往动物城，我不由自主地萌生了搭顺风车的念头，小心翼翼地问：“我能搭个便车吗？”从车窗内伸出头的浣熊爸爸询问：“你要去动物城做什么？”我稍显羞涩地答道：“去找份工作养活自己。”浣熊爸爸听后提议道：“巧得很，我们家正好缺一个助手帮忙照料孩子和家务，不知道你是否感兴趣？”“这简直是天上掉下的绝佳机遇！”对于这份突然而至的友善邀请，我不禁颇感惊喜。

浣熊妈妈遂轻柔地打开车门，邀请我上车。我稳稳坐下后自我介绍道：“我叫索菲亚，四海为家，只要能有温饱，任何工作我都乐意尝试。”浣熊妈妈轻轻关上车门，笑容可掬地说：“期待你能在我们这个家里过得愉快，并适应你的新工作。”车上的几只小浣熊听说我要在他们家工作，顿时欢呼雀跃，热烈地向我打着招呼，还滔滔不绝地分享着他们所知道的有关动物城的各种趣味故事……

岁月如梭，我在浣熊夫妇温暖的家中度过了充实且充满温情的十五载岁月。

在这悠长的十五年间，Judy 凭借不懈的努力崭露头角，获得了市长及副市长的肯定，最终荣耀地成为了动物城警察局的一名警官。

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.

Because of her size, the physical training was the toughest part. Cadets had to get through obstacles in simulators that mimicked all of the twelve unique ecosystems that made up the city of Zootopia. From freezing Tundratown to sweltering Sahara Square, each ecosystem presented its own set of challenges—whether it was trying to scale an ice wall or survive in a scorching sandstorm.

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 and perseverance, she managed to keep up and surprise everyone.

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!

Judy 在这十五载砥砺前行的历程无比激励人心，我悉数摘抄下来，从中汲取不断勇闯英语瀚海的勇气，期盼有一天我也能如 Judy 般成功抵达彼岸。
