与孩子们一样，成人也喜欢卡通人物。有时将自己与他们相联系，但大多时候只是对其滑稽的动作或不幸捧腹大笑。本文列举了50个风靡全球的卡通人物，分别对他们的影响力、流行性和搞笑指数进行了介绍。

　　1. Bugs Bunny

　　1.兔八哥

　　"What's up, doc?" Bugs Bunny is, perhaps, the most recognizable and famous cartoon character. Looney Tuneswere first created as lead-ins to feature films. Bugs first appeared as a rabbit with no name in 1938 in "Porky's Hare Hunt." Tex Avery later named him Bugs Bunny after the infamous West Coast mobster. Decades later, Looney Tunes cartoons became a Saturday morning staple. Bugs Bunny is still tops.

　　“出什么事了，伙计?”或许，兔八哥算得上辨识率最高、最著名的卡通人物了。1938年，兔八哥这一形象首次出现在电影《猪小弟猎兔》中，不过那时它还没有名字。在与臭名昭著的西海岸盗匪斗智斗勇的情节播出以后，特克斯·艾佛里将其定名为兔八哥。数十年后，兔巴哥漫画依旧是周六上午最受人欢迎的读物。

　　2. Homer Simpson

　　2.霍默·辛普森

　　Homer Simpson is known throughout the world. Having been on TV for over 20 seasons, this patriarch is not the father who knows best, but he certainly tries. Homer Simpson is based on creator Matt Groening's father, who is also named Homer. And if you look at Homer's profile, a bit of his hair and his ear form the initials "M G."

　　霍默·辛普森是知名全球的卡通形象。开播二十年来，使观众印象最深的不是他作为一名父亲有多优秀，而是敢于尝试。霍默·汤普森这一形象取自《辛普森一家》创始人马特·格勒宁的父亲，他的父亲也叫霍默。看了《辛普森一家》，你就会发现霍默的头发和耳朵像极了马特·格勒宁姓名缩写“MG.”

　　3. Mickey Mouse

　　3.米老鼠

　　Mickey Mouse represents Disney in all its forms. He started life in black and white in 1928's Steamboat Willie, the first synchronized sound cartoon. Mickey Mouse was first voiced by Walt Disney, himself, then later byJim MacDonaldand Wayne Allwine. Mickey Mouse isn't just a cartoon character; he's an icon.

　　米老鼠是迪士尼创造的代表人物。1928年，他拍摄了首部有声黑白卡通电影《汽船威利》。米老鼠最初由沃特·迪士尼配音，接着是吉姆麦克唐纳、韦恩·艾尔温。对于很多人来说，米老鼠不仅是一个卡通人物，而是一名偶像。

　　4. Bart Simpson

　　4.巴特·辛普森

　　The second favorite character from The Simpsonsis Bart. His catchphrases are "Ay caramba!" and "Eat my shorts!" He opens every episode at the chalkboard,writing out a punishmentthat might say, "I will finish what I sta..." He is a prankster, but a loyal friend and brother. We all knew a kid like Bart, and sometimes wished we were like him.

　　巴特是《辛普森一家》中除霍默外最受欢迎的角色。他的口头禅是西班牙语“哎呀我去!”、“我讨厌你!”每一季，必有他手拿粉笔站在黑板前接受惩罚的场景，“我一定能……”。巴特虽然爱搞恶作剧，但却是一位忠诚的朋友、仗义的哥哥。生活中似乎不乏巴特这样的孩子，有时，我们希望自己也像巴特一样。

　　5. Charlie Brown

　　5.查理·布朗

　　Introduced on TV inA Charlie Brown Christmasin 1965, this comic strip staple became a holiday tradition. The kid who never kicks the football, whose dog is more popular than he is and who has a crush on the red-headed girl steals our hearts every year with a variety of cartoon specials.

　　查理·布朗是1965年播出的《查理·布朗的圣诞节》中的人物。该系列漫画书连载五十年，似乎成为一种节日传统。里面的孩子总要输球，就连身边的小狗看起来都更受人喜爱，暗恋一位红发女孩……每年的卡通特辑都让人为之倾心。

　　6.Fred Flintstone

　　6.聪明笨伯

　　Fred Flintstone is the forerunner to Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin. The Flintstones premiered in 1960, modeled afterThe Honeymooners, the first made-for-TV primetime cartoon. Fred was the first portly animated husband who had an attractive wife, not enough brains for his schemes and a bad temper. Yet, he loved his family.

　　聪明笨伯要霍默·辛普森、皮特·格里芬出现的更早。《摩登原始人》于1960年播出，参照《蜜月期》拍摄的首部为电视黄金时段制作的卡通片。弗雷德是一位体格健壮，充满生气的丈夫，妻子光彩照人，很有魅力。虽然弗雷德做事偶尔缺乏计划性，脾气火爆，但是他确实很爱自己的家人。

　　7. The Grinch

　　7.格林奇

　　Dr. Seuss created many characters who made the leap from books to TV, but none as easily and successfully as The Grinch. How the Grinch Stole Christmasanimates Dr. Seuss' book about the grouchygreen cave-dweller who attempts to ruin Christmas for the Whos down in Whoville. The holiday special, starring Boris Karloff, first aired in 1966. His turn from selfish to selfless promotes the true meaning of Christmas.

　　尽管苏斯博士创作了众多搬上荧屏的人物形象，但格林奇无疑是最深入人心的那个。《圣诞怪杰》讲述了一个叫格林奇的绿毛怪策划偷走整个圣诞节的故事。格林奇心胸狭窄，居住在洞穴中。1966年播出了假日特辑，由鲍里斯·卡洛夫领衔主演。格里奇从自私到无私的转变，恰恰揭示了圣诞节的意义所在。

　　8. Popeye

　　8.波比

　　Like many TV cartoon characters, Popeye began life as a comic strip. Then in 1933, he starred in aPopeye the Sailor. His catchphrases include, "Well, blow me down!" and "I eats my spinach!" His bulging forearms, squinty eyes, and a staccato chuckle are recognized by many generations.

　　像许多卡通人物一样，波比最初以连环漫画的方式问世。1933年，拍摄了卡通电影短片《大力水手》。波比的口头禅包括：“哇，真够可以的!”、“我吃菠菜!”。他健硕的前臂、斜着的眼睛、断续的笑声为世人铭记。

　　9. Wile E. Coyote

　　9.歪心狼

　　Poor Wile E. Coyote. We don't want him to catch the Road Runner, but we sure feel bad for him. Director Chuck Jones created the tenacious coyote along with Michael Maltese. The Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote were introduced in 1948'sFast and Furry-Ous.

　　可怜的歪心狼!尽管我们心有歉意，却总是不让他成功捉到哔哔鸟。导演恰克·琼斯与迈克尔·马耳他携手创造了一只狡猾的郊狼形象。1948年，哔哔鸟和歪心狼拍摄为电影《天才大野狼》。

　　10. Rocky and Bullwinkle

　　10.波波鹿与飞天鼠

　　Stan and Ollie. Hope and Crosby. Martin and Lewis. In the animated world, Rocky and Bullwinkle are the comedy team who saves the day. Rocky's unending optimism coupled with Bullwinkle's lucky mishaps save their pelts every time. The duo starred in Rocky and His Friends, which premiered in 1959. Their cartoon included the segments: "Fractured Fairytales," "Aesop and Son," "Peabody's Improbable History" and "Mr. Know It All."

　　斯坦和奥利、霍普和克罗斯比、马丁和路易斯。在动画世界中，波波鹿与飞天鼠是一组十分有趣的搞笑搭档，给人们带来了不少乐趣。波波鹿无限的乐观情绪与飞天鼠幸运的小挫折，每一次，都能使它们转危为安。1959年，以波波鹿和飞天鼠为题材拍摄了卡通电视《飞鼠洛基与朋友们》。该剧共四集，分别为《破碎的童话》、《伊索与儿子》、《皮博迪先生的神奇历史》、《自以为是先生》。
