my life as Mcdull 麥兜的故事

McDull is a male pig who can be distinguished by a birthmark on his right eye. He has a heart of gold, but he isn't very smart and ordinary in every way; nevertheless, he has many dreams. However, every time he tries, he fails; he is disappointed, but tries again, exploring other dreams. In this way he creates his own colourful world. He lives his life simply and naturally. He is not perfect, but his attitude towards life, namely of never giving up, makes him a popular character.
麥兜是一只右眼上有個(gè)胎記的小豬。他有一顆金子般的心,但他不是很聰明,什么方面都平平無奇;盡管如此,他也有自己的夢(mèng)想。每一次他嘗試著達(dá)成自己的理想,他都會(huì)失敗;他會(huì)感到失望,但依舊進(jìn)取,追逐著自己其它的夢(mèng)。他就是這樣創(chuàng)造了自己的一片天地。他單純而簡單的生活,以及雖不完美,卻積極向上的生活態(tài)度,和永不放棄的精神,使得他受到了大眾的歡迎。

The name McDull actually has a story itself. When Mrs Mak was going to give birth to McDull, she saw a magical plastic basin (pronounced roughly as "dull" in Cantonese) flying over her head. Believing it a sign from the gods, she named her son as "Dull".
麥兜名字的由來有一個(gè)故事。麥太臨盆去醫(yī)院準(zhǔn)備生麥兜的時(shí)候,她看到了一只神奇的塑料盆(粵語中叫做“膠兜”)從她頭頂飛過。由此她向塑料盆許了一系列的愿望,希望將來的兒子能很聰明、讀書好,長得帥,像梁朝偉或者周潤發(fā),還有運(yùn)氣要好,最后塑料盆終于落地。麥太認(rèn)為這是老天爺傳遞的異象,而麥膠這個(gè)名字不好聽,于是決定取名麥兜。
