Despicable Me 神偷奶爸‏

The main character is dressed in black and has a scarf1 around his neck, but he is not your typical, friendly neighbor. Instead, he is one of the world's greatest supervillains2. His name is Gru, and he aims to be the best at being bad. However, there is someone else better at being bad than him. This someone is his number one enemy, Vector. So, in order to be the worst of the worst, Gru plans to steal the impossible.

本部電影的主角身穿黑衣，脖子上還圍著圍巾，但他可不像您家旁邊那種為人和善的典型鄰居。相反地，他是世上最壞的超級大壞蛋之一。他的名字叫做格魯，而他的目標就是要成為壞到不行的壞人。不過有一個人卻比他更擅長使壞。這個人就是他的頭號敵人維克特。所以為了要成為壞中之最，格魯計畫要偷取某樣絕不可能偷到的東西。

　　Gru's goal is to steal the moon. He starts working on his plan in his secret hide-out3, which is hidden deep beneath his black house. He is helped in this task by his army of little, yellow minions4. However, three orphaned5 girls are standing in his way—Margo, Edith, and Agnes. They don't look at him as someone who delights in all things evil. Instead, they see him as a potential dad. Can these three little orphans actually change Gru's ways and stop his evil plan? To find out, don't miss this computer-animated6 3-D film "Despicable7 Me" in theaters soon.
格魯的目標就是要偷走月亮。於是他開始在他的秘密藏身處致力安排他的計畫，地點就在他那棟黑色房子下的地底深處。他還有一群黃色的小囉囉協助他完成這項任務。然而卻有三個身為孤兒的小女孩從中阻撓，她們分別是毛毛、蒂蒂和安安。她們並沒有將他視為是某個喜歡從事任何邪惡勾當的人。她們反而把他當作是一個有可能當她們爸爸的人來看待。這三個小孤兒真的可以改變格魯的作風，並阻止他的邪惡計畫嗎？想要找出答案，千萬不要錯過這部即將在各大戲院上映的3D電腦動畫電影《神偷奶爸》。
