| Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs is the latest 3D family movie from Sony Pictures Animation that takes the concept of giant food falling out of the sky and convolutes an entire 90 minute plot out of it. In fact, the origins of this movie come from the beloved children’s book of the same name back in 1978. |
索尼影视动画公司最新出品的3D家庭类影片《美食从天而降》围绕“如果天上会落下巨型食物”的创意铺陈出整整90分钟的剧情，该创意实际上来自于1978年出版的一部脍炙人口的同名儿童小说。 |
| Flint Lockwood has become well known in the decrepit sardine fishing town of Swallow Falls. His unique inventions always create quite a stir, and generally not in a good way. But when the town experiences hard times and everyone starts to get sick of eating sardines, Flint figures out a way to make the people in town happy. |
Swallow Falls是一个曾以捕捞沙丁鱼出名，而后衰败的小镇。Flint Lockwood是镇上家喻户晓的人物，他独特的发明总是在镇上引起轰动——或者说混乱。不过当小镇进入萧条时期后，居民们厌烦了只能吃沙丁鱼的日子，Flint想出了一个办法解决大家的困扰。 |
| Flint creates a scientifically ingenious device that can turn water into food, and he plans to show the world what it can do. Meanwhile Sam Sparks, a perky intern from a news network, is on her way to cover the weather in Swallow Falls. Sam arrives to find a bigger story than she planned, though, when Flint's food machine accidentally gets launched into the atmosphere and begins creating some mouthwatering weather anomalies. |
Flint发明了一部在科学上具有开创意义的机器，能够把水转变为食物。他打算向全世界展示他的作品。同时，活力十足的女孩Sam Sparks作为一家新闻网的实习生来到小镇报道天气。然而，她在镇上发现了意料之外的大新闻——Flint的食物制造机被意外地发射到大气层中，引发了令人垂涎欲滴的气象奇观。 |
| As hamburgers and hot dogs rain down from the sky, Flint becomes the toast of the town. The mayor prepares to capitalize on the falling food as a major tourist attraction, and Sam and Flint become friends as Sam finally gets her big chance to cover a major event and prove herself as a real weather girl. Everyone seems to be bloated with happiness -- everyone except Flint's father, who is the only person not impressed by Flint's scrumptious weather machine. |
当汉堡包和热狗像下雨一样从天上落下来时，Flint成了小镇上的大红人。镇长准备利用从天而降的食物作为小镇的主要旅游景观，而Flint和Sam也成为了朋友，后者终于得到机会报道重大事件，从而证明了自己是一个真正的气象预报员。所有人都沉浸在幸福中，除了Flint的父亲。他是唯一一位面对Flint的美食机器不为所动的人。 |
| Flint's magnificent menus continue to please, but his machine soon begins to buckle under the pressure. Maybe his father was right, and Flint should have given up inventing long ago. His best invention yet could turn into the messiest catastrophe ever if he can't figure out a way to curb people's appetites and stop the edible downpour. |
Flint不断地用美食满足着人们，然而他的机器很快就不堪重负。也许他的父亲是对的，Flint早就应该放弃发明创造。如果Flint不能想出办法控制人们的食欲并制止食物雨，他最棒的发明就有可能变成有史以来最可怕的灾难。
