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.

在并不遙遠(yuǎn)的未來，地球被人類糟蹋得不適合居住，植物要么滅絕，要么被無盡的垃圾掩埋。人類無法生存，于是移居到豪華的太空船上，通過機(jī)器人來幫助他們實(shí)現(xiàn)所有想法。在太空生活的數(shù)百年里，我們一動(dòng)不動(dòng)，成天看電視，都退化成了懶散、肥胖的一團(tuán)，看上去仿佛一個(gè)個(gè)皮爾斯伯利面團(tuán)寶寶。

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（“地球廢品分裝員”的簡稱）孤獨(dú)地工作著：壓縮處理垃圾。他背負(fù)著這樣的“使命”，按照程序、日復(fù)一日地工作。人類離開地球之后，只剩下他每天在垃圾堆里忙碌著，只有一只名叫Hal的蟑螂為伴。就這樣過了幾百年，WALL-E有了自己的個(gè)性。他好奇心重，常從垃圾里撿回那些奇奇怪怪的東西用來裝飾他的家。他還喜歡上了一部歌舞片《你好，多莉！》，并反反復(fù)復(fù)地觀看這盒老錄像帶。

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！》教會(huì)了WALL-E牽手，也讓他學(xué)會(huì)了相愛，這個(gè)孤獨(dú)的機(jī)器人因此夢想著能找到那個(gè)特別的她。經(jīng)過了很多年的等待，直到一個(gè)閃閃動(dòng)人的蛋狀機(jī)器人EVE的出現(xiàn)，WALL-E盼來了愛情的機(jī)會(huì)。EVE來到地球是為了探測生命跡象，而我們的小機(jī)器人WALL-E則深深地愛上了這個(gè)外表亮麗的先進(jìn)機(jī)器人。他一心只想能與她交往，可是EVE并不“領(lǐng)情”。幸運(yùn)的是，WALL-E對EVE的追求從未停止；當(dāng)EVE有了新發(fā)現(xiàn)，需要返回人類居住的太空船Axiom向人類報(bào)告時(shí)，WALL-E也跟去湊了回?zé)狒[。什么都不能把這個(gè)樂觀的機(jī)器人和他的EVE分開，太空里如此長距離的行程不能，邪惡的機(jī)器人也不能，那些怪異的果凍狀的人類更是不能。在他們的祖先差點(diǎn)毀滅我們這個(gè)星球之前，地球上的生活究竟是怎樣的，這些人已經(jīng)全然沒有了概念。
