【新译Z世代】No. 32 皮克斯第一部华裔女性电影，口碑爆棚！

The dutiful daughter of a perfectionist mother, Ming, Mei is an overachiever who may well become a United Nations secretary general, as her mom expects. Before taking office, though, she needs to release the wild animal of her inner adolescent, which she does in spectacular fashion.

美美的母亲“茗”是一个尽职尽责的人，作为茗的女儿，美美很可能会成为联合国秘书长，正如母亲所期待的那样。然而，在就职之前，她需要释放她内心青春的野性，她以不同凡响的方式做到了这一点。

Something else colors Mei’s life as the film gathers force. She discovers to her horror, and our delight, that whenever her emotions get the best of her she turns into a huge red panda.

随着影片的发展，美美的生活也有了新的色彩。让她恐惧的是，只要她的情绪失控就会变成一只巨大的小熊，这却给观众们带来了欢乐。

It's a family thing, as it turns out, an affliction—or an inconvenience, to use her mother's term—that goes back through generations of women to an ancient ancestor.

事实证明，这是一种家族遗传，用她母亲的说法，这是一种痛苦— —或者是一种困扰 — —可以追溯到几代女性到一个远古的祖先。

Mei's panda pops out in response to any kind of excitement, including the anxiety, frustration, full-bore anger and irrepressible glee that get the best of many teens during most of their waking hours.

美美的熊猫在任何兴奋的时候都会跳出来，包括焦虑、沮丧、愤怒和无法抑制的喜悦，很多十几岁的孩子醒着的时候都会被这样的情绪支配。

It's a lovely comedic device—and Ms. Shi and her animation colleagues know how to make the most of it—but also a strong metaphor for breaking the traditional bonds of repression that will be familiar to daughters from families the world over.

这是一个讨喜的喜剧手法 — —石女士和她的动画制作团队知道如何充分利用它。但这也是一个强烈的隐喻，它打破了世界各地家庭的女儿们所熟悉的压抑的传统束缚。
