主題曲：What I've Done

-Optimus Prime: Before time began, there was the Cube.

cube: 立方體【這里指立方形的能量體。】

在很久的過去，能量體就已經(jīng)存在了。

We know not where it comes from,

我們不知道它從哪里來，

only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life.

hold: 擁有 fill: 裝滿，(使)充滿

只知道它擁有創(chuàng)造世界和生命的力量。

That is how our race was born.

race: 種族

我們這個種族就是這么誕生的。

For a time, we lived in harmony,

for a time: 短時間內(nèi) harmony: 和諧

我們一直和諧地生活著，

but like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil.

evil: 邪惡的

就像其它巨大的能量一樣，人們要它的目的有善有惡。

And so began the war, a war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death,

ravage: 毀壞

所以戰(zhàn)爭開始了，一場使我們的星球毀滅的戰(zhàn)爭，

and the Cube was lost to the far reaches of space.

reach: 邊緣地帶 space: 太空

能量體也丟失在浩瀚的宇宙里。

We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our home,

scatter: 散開 galaxy: 銀河系 rebuild: 重建

我們搜尋了整個銀河，希望可以找到它來重建我們的家園。

searching every star, every world.

search: 尋找

尋找每一個星球，每一個世界。

And just when all hope seemed lost, message of a new discovery drew us to an unknown planet called Earth.

seem: 似乎 message: 消息 discovery: 發(fā)現(xiàn) draw: 吸引 unknown: 未知的 planet: 行星 earth: 地球

就當我們都失去希望時，新的線索把我們帶到了一個星球叫--地球。

But we were already too late.

already: 已經(jīng)

但是我們已經(jīng)太遲了。
