        【选段台词】
        Bonnie Hopps: We’re real proud of you, Judy.
        Stu Hopps: Yeah, and scared too.
        Bonnie Hopps: Yes.
        Stu Hopps: Really, it’s a kind of proud-scared combo. I mean, Zootopia. So far away, such a big city.
        Judy Hopps: Guys, I’ve been working for this my whole life.
        Bonnie Hopps: We know. And we’re just a little excited for you , but terrified.
        Judy Hopps: The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
        Stu Hopps: And also bears. We have bears to fear, too. Say nothing on lions, and wolves.
        Bonnie Hopps: Wolves?
        Stu Hopps: Weasels.
        Bonnie Hopps: You played cribbage with a weasel once?
        Stu Hopps: Yeah, he cheats like there’s no tomorrow. You know what? Pretty much all predators. And Zootopia is full of them.
        Bonnie Hopps: Oh, Stu.
        Stu Hopps: And foxes are the worst.
        Bonnie Hopps: Yeah, actually, your father does have a point there. It’s in their biology. Remember what happened with Gideon Grey?
        Judy Hopps: When I was nine. Gideon Grey was a jerk who happens to be a fox. I know plenty of bunnies who are jerks.
        Stu Hopps: Sure, yeah, we all do, absolutely. But just in case, we made you a little care package to take with you.

        【重点词汇】
        1. be proud of
        经过十多年的努力，Judy终于如愿成为了一名警官，并且是第一位兔子警官。而包括Judy在内的警官都要到动物城去工作。在Judy离开家之前，妈妈对她说：“我们真的以你为豪。”Be proud of 的意思是“以……为骄傲，因……而自豪”。
        2. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
        表达完了对于女儿的自豪，兔妈妈和兔爸爸也表示出对于Judy的担心。这时，Judy说了一句本片中很经典的一句话：“我们唯一必须恐惧的东西只有恐惧本身。”本句话中fear出现了两次，因此第二次出现时要加上反身代词itself。
        3. have a point
        但是兔爸爸表示，除了恐惧，还要担心熊，狼，还有狐狸。并且兔妈妈也认同，说：“你爸爸说的有道理，这是他们天生的，你还记得Gideon Grey吗？”have a point意思是“有道理，中肯”。
        4. just in case
        对于父母所说的，Judy并不赞同，她说：“那是我九岁时候的事了，而且只是碰巧是只狐狸而已。兔子中也有很多混蛋呢。”于是，兔爸爸接着说：“对，但是我们只是以防万一。”just in case的意思是“以防万一”，是固定搭配。
