In the not so distant future, humans have quite literally trashed the planet to the point it's uninhabitable. With no means to sustain themselves – the plants have all died or are buried under miles of garbage – humans have fled in luxurious spaceships where their every whim is satisfied by robots. After hundreds of years living in space not having to move a muscle, we've devolved to the point of being fat couch potato globs that vaguely resemble the Pillsbury Doughboy.

在并不遥远的未来，地球被人类糟蹋得不适合居住，植物要么灭绝，要么被无尽的垃圾掩埋。人类无法生存，于是移居到豪华的太空船上，通过机器人来帮助他们实现所有想法。在太空生活的数百年里，我们一动不动，成天看电视，都退化成了懒散、肥胖的一团，看上去仿佛一个个皮尔斯伯利面团宝宝。

Back on Earth, WALL-E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) goes about his lonely job of compacting trash. It's what he was built for and programmed to do, and there's no reason for him to stop. He was left turned on when everyone took off, so he goes about his work each and every day with only an indestructible cockroach named Hal for company. And after hundreds of years of this, WALL-E has developed a personality. He's an inquisitive little guy who collects weird items of trash that he then uses to furnish and decorate his home. He's also developed an affection for Hello, Dolly! and watches the old VHS tape over and over again.

地球上，WALL-E（“地球废品分装员”的简称）孤独地工作着：压缩处理垃圾。他背负着这样的“使命”，按照程序、日复一日地工作。人类离开地球之后，只剩下他每天在垃圾堆里忙碌着，只有一只名叫Hal的蟑螂为伴。就这样过了几百年，WALL-E有了自己的个性。他好奇心重，常从垃圾里捡回那些奇奇怪怪的东西用来装饰他的家。他还喜欢上了一部歌舞片《你好，多莉！》，并反反复复地观看这盒老录像带。

Hello, Dolly! has taught WALL-E about holding hands and falling in love, and the lonesome robot has dreams of finding that someone special. After endless years of waiting, WALL-E's shot at love appears in the form of a glistening egg-shaped drone named EVE. EVE was sent to Earth to check for any signs of life, and our little WALL-E falls head over heels for this state-of-the-art metallic cutie. He wants nothing more than to make a connection with this beauty, but EVE's not on the same wavelength. Fortunately, WALL-E's a persistent suitor and when EVE's sent back to report her findings to the people on board the Axiom spaceship, WALL-E goes along for the ride. Nothing will stop this starry-eyed robot from being with his EVE, not hundreds of thousands of miles of space travel, evil robots, or weird jelly-ish people who've lost all concept of what life on Earth was like before their ancestors all but destroyed our planet.

《你好，多莉！》教会了WALL-E牵手，也让他学会了相爱，这个孤独的机器人因此梦想着能找到那个特别的她。经过了很多年的等待，直到一个闪闪动人的蛋状机器人EVE的出现，WALL-E盼来了爱情的机会。EVE来到地球是为了探测生命迹象，而我们的小机器人WALL-E则深深地爱上了这个外表亮丽的先进机器人。他一心只想能与她交往，可是EVE并不“领情”。幸运的是，WALL-E对EVE的追求从未停止；当EVE有了新发现，需要返回人类居住的太空船Axiom向人类报告时，WALL-E也跟去凑了回热闹。什么都不能把这个乐观的机器人和他的EVE分开，太空里如此长距离的行程不能，邪恶的机器人也不能，那些怪异的果冻状的人类更是不能。在他们的祖先差点毁灭我们这个星球之前，地球上的生活究竟是怎样的，这些人已经全然没有了概念。
