【選段臺詞】

Bagheera: When I found him many years ago... he was just an infant, abandoned in the woods. 

Gray: Get the deer!

Bagheera: If he was going to survive... I knew he needed a people. A people to protect him. That's why I entrusted him to the wolves.

Akela: Look well, wolves.

Bagheera: Akela was a just and noble leader. He allowed Mowgli to dwell among them, all those years. The trouble was, wolves grew so fast and Mowgli, 's just say he liked to take his time.

Gray: Mowgli, pick me up high!

A wolf: My turn!

Mowgli: Stop. Not now.

Bagheera: It was Raksha who raised him. She was the only mother he ever knew.

Gray: Come on, let's play!

Mowgli: I don't feel like playing, Gray.

Gray: Come on, you're my brother. You have to play with me. Let's go chase some mice.

Raksha: How did it go?

Mowgli: Caught me again.

Raksha: If it's meant to be, it will be.

Akela: Let me hear the Law.

All the wolves: "This is the Law of the Jungle as old and as true as the sky.”

Wolves and Mowgli: "The Wolf that keeps it will prosper... but the Wolf that breaks it will die. Like the creeper that girdles the tree trunk... the Law runneth over and back. For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf... and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack. Woof... "

【重點詞彙】

1. entrust… to…

巴希拉很多年前發現棄嬰毛克利，他知道如果毛克利想活下來，就必須得有個族羣；所以，他就把毛克利託付給了狼羣；阿克拉是位公正、高尚的首領，他一直允許毛克利跟着狼羣生活。entrust是託付，委託的意思，是及物動詞，把A託付給B，用entrust A to B.

2. take one's time

雖然毛克利跟着狼羣生活，但是狼成長很快，但是毛克利傾向於慢慢長大，一點也不着急。take one’s time不着急,不慌忙,慢慢乾的意思。區別take time 是費時; 從容進行的意思。

3. pick sb. up

毛克利由一位狼媽媽撫養，小狼們很喜歡毛克利給他們舉高高這項遊戲。但是毛克利興致不高，他正在傷心。pick sb. up 本意是拾起，撿起的意思；在這裏翻譯成舉起更合適些。

4. be meant to

因爲巴希拉一直在鍛鍊毛克利；狼媽媽拉克莎問他今天怎麼樣？毛克利沮喪的回答又被逮住了狼媽媽安慰他說，“如果這是註定的，那它就一定會發生。”be meant to 本意有應該做，照道理，註定要的意思；在這裏是註定發生的意思。
