【选段台词】
Guy：Looks like we won't have any leftovers.

Eep：What are leftovers?

Guy：You know, when you have so much food to eat you have some left over.

Eep：Well, we never have that much food.

Ugga：Grug, how about a story?

Grug：That's a good idea. How about a story, huh?

Thunk：Yeah, a story! Tell us a story!

Grug：Once upon a time there was a little tiger who lived in a cave with her family. There were a lot of rules, but the big, simple one was to never leave the cave at night. And the door was so heavy, Do you think it would be easy to remember.

Thunk：So easy to remember.

Grug：I know. But while everyone was asleep, she went out anyway. 

Thunk：No!

Grug：Yes! And no sooner than she did her cave was destroyed and everyone had to go on this long, sucky walk, with some weirdo they met, and died! The end.

Guy：I did not see that coming. My stories never end like that.

Thunk：Yes! Two stories in one night!

Guy：Okay, but it won't be as good as Grug's. Once upon a time, there was a beautiful tiger. She lived in a cave with the rest of her family. Her father and mother told her: "You may go anywhere you want, but never go near the cliff, for you could fall.

Grug：And die. Good story.

Guy：But when no one was looking, she would go near the cliff, for the closer she came to the edge, the more she could hear, the more she could see, and the more she could feel. Finally she stood at the very edge, and she saw a light. She leaned to touch it, and she slipped.

Grug：And she fell.

Guy：And she flew.

Thunk：Where did she fly?

Guy：Tomorrow.

Eep：Tomorrow?

Guy：A place with more suns in the sky than you can count.

Thunk：It would be so bright.

Guy：A place not like today, or yesterday. A place where things are better.

Grug：Tomorrow isn't a place. It's... It's... It's... You can't see it!

Guy：Oh, yes it is. I've seen it. That's where I'm going.

Grug：Well, we are going to shut our eyes and sleep. And when we wake up, we're going to find the place that has everything we want.

Eep：Tomorrow?

Grug：A cave.

【重点词汇】

1. leave over

Guy在某种意义上可以说是原始人中的现代人，他发现Croods一家还是靠狩猎为生，他就帮助了他们造了一个陷阱来引猎物。当Croods一家狼吞虎咽地分刮了一整只猎物时，Guy和他的小伙伴被惊呆了，问了一句：“看来不会有剩菜了吧……”。而Eep根本没有剩菜这一个概念，Guy解释说：“你知道的，当你有很多食物吃不完，留下来的就是剩菜。”“leave over”意为“留下”；“剩下”；“延后”；“推迟”。

2. once upon a time

当Grug觉得女儿崇拜的人渐渐不是他的时候，而Guy又帮助了他们捕捉到了猎物，所以他很是沮丧。而Ugga看出来他的沮丧，所以鼓励他讲一个全家都喜欢听的故事，于是他结合了如今的经历说到：“从前有一只小老虎和它的家人住在一个山洞里，家庭里面的规矩很多，不过最大也是最简单的一条规矩就是：不能在晚上离开山洞。门很重，这条规矩应该很容易记住。不过，当大家都睡着了小老虎跑了出去。它刚跑出去，它们的山洞就被毁了。于是大家不得不和一个奇怪的家伙一起走很远的路，然后全都死了！”爸爸每次都喜欢讲一些有可怕结局的故事来警示家人们要小心翼翼地活着。

3. at the very edge

Eep早就听厌了爸爸每次都以死亡作为结局的故事了，Guy自告奋勇地讲起了另一个故事，所有人除了Grug都兴致勃勃地围坐在Guy旁边听着故事：“很久以前有一只美丽的老虎，它和家人一起住在山洞里。他的爸爸妈妈告诉它：‘你什么地方都能去，就是不能靠近悬崖，你会掉下去的。’有天趁大家不注意，它来到悬崖上。它越靠近悬崖边，就能听见更多，看见更多，感受到更多。最后它站到了悬崖的最边上。它看见亮光，它探出身子去摸，结果滑倒了，它飞了起来，它飞到了明天。”

4. shut one's eyes

当Grug说道那只美丽的老虎飞向了明天时，Grug不服气地说道：“明天不是一个地方. 它是...它是看不见的！”Guy却说：“这地方存在，我看见过。那就是我要去的地方。”看着女儿向往的面孔，老爸彻底失控了，赶紧说道：“我们该闭上眼睛睡觉了。醒来后，我们会找到我们要找的那个地方。”“shut one's eyes”意为“闭上眼睛”。
