Mario is the protagonist of the videogames saga Super Mario Bros, and an icon of the Japanese videogames company, Nintendo.

马里奥是视频游戏《超级马里奥兄弟》的主角,也是日本视频游戏公司任天堂的象征。

Even though he is Italian-American (hence his moustache!), his dad is the Japanese Shigeru Miyamoto.

虽然他是美籍意大利人(因此留了胡子!),但他的父亲其实是日本的宫本茂。

He was born in 1981, under the name of Jumpman.

他出生于1981年,原来的名字叫“跳跳人”。

Back then, our friend was a carpenter, and his mission was to save his girl from Donkey Kong.

那时候,这位朋友还是一个木匠,他的任务是把他的女友从大金刚手里救出来。

It wouldn't be until 1983, when, already under the name of Mario (in honor to Mario Segale - president of Nitendo American back then),

1983年的时候,他已经叫马里奥了(为了致敬当时任天堂房东马里奥·西加列),

Nintendo released "Mario Bros", acompanied by Luigi, his little brother, for the Nintendo Entertainment System, better known as NES.

那时,任天堂为任天堂娱乐系统(NES)发布了“马里奥兄弟”,里面有马里奥和他的弟弟路易吉。

Mario's story starts when ... Baby Mario and Baby Luigi were flying towards their parents' house with the Stork.

马里奥的故事从这里开始……小马里奥、小路易吉和鹳一起飞向父母家。

But Kamek, Bowser's vassal, the everlasting and evil villain, fearing that the star children would ruin the Koopas troop plans, kidnapped Luigi,

酷霸王的跟班卡米克是个反派,他担心主角会破坏酷霸王的团伙计划,因此绑架了路易吉,

and let Mario fall on the Yoshi island.

将马里奥留在了耀西之岛上。

When the Koopas realised one baby was missing, they tried to kidnap Baby Mario, with the help of the yoshis.

当酷霸王意识到有一个婴儿失踪时,他们试图在耀西的帮助下绑架婴儿马里奥。

Baby Mario manages to defeat Kamek and the leader of the troop, Baby Bowser.

婴儿马里奥设法击败卡米克和团伙领导小酷霸王。

They rescue Baby Luigi and the Stork, who takes them to their parents in Brooklin, NY.

他们营救了小路易吉和鹳,鹳把他们带到纽约布鲁克林的父母那里。

But poor them, they didn't know their kids were star children.

但可怜的他们并不知道自己的孩子是个明星宝宝。

Years go by, and Mario becomes a headache to his family.

几年过去了,马里奥成了家里的麻烦。

He was very naughty at home!

他在家里很淘气!

When he was 7, Mario grows a big moustache.

马里奥7岁时留了大胡子。

A little later, "whiskers" and his brother get a degree from the Plumbers Academy, with the highest grades among the graduates in their class.

不久之后,“大胡子”和他的弟弟获得了水管工学院的学位,而且在他们班的毕业生中成绩最高。

Mario decides to start, with Luigi's help, the plumbing company "Mario Bros Plumbers".

在路易吉的帮助下,马里奥决定创立管道公司“马里奥兄弟水管工”。

During the repair of a bathtub, both brothers were accidentally absorbed by a pipe, which took them to the Mushroom Kingdom.

在修理浴缸的过程中,兄弟俩不小心被一根管子吸住了,管子把他们带到了蘑菇王国。

From cleaning pipes to rescuing the princess of the Kingdom, Peach.

他们清理管道,还营救了桃花公主。

Our favorite plumbers will bring peace back to the Mushroom Kingdom and will save it from the claws of Bowser and his followers!

我们最喜爱的管道工将为蘑菇王国带来和平,并将它从酷霸王及其追随者的魔爪中拯救出来!

Always advised by Toad and helped by Yoshi.

他们总能得到奇诺比奥的建议和耀西的帮助。

But Bowser is very elusive and our Princess Peach is always in trouble,

但是酷霸王是难以捉摸的,我们的桃花公主总是遇到麻烦,

so Mario and Luigi will have lots of Kingdoms to free and many adventures to live.

所以马里奥和路易吉需要解放许多王国,还要经历许多冒险。

They will save more young ladies in trouble, and will defeat more villains, thanks to the power of the mushrooms,

多亏了蘑菇的力量,他们将拯救更多陷入困境的少女、打败更多的恶棍,

which will give Mario a second chance, apart from other qualities.

这也会给马里奥第2次机会,除了其他能力。

We also have the stars, which will turn Mario into Super Mario and a lot more transformations:

我们还有星星,它们会把马里奥变成超级马里奥,还有更多的转变:

Racoon Mario, and the evolution to Mario Tanooki, Fire Mario, Frog Mario and many others!

浣熊马里奥、进化到马里奥·塔努基,火马里奥,青蛙马里奥和许多其他种!

Mario is characterised by his short height and his chubby shape, of course without forgetting about his characteristic moustache.

马里奥的特征就是他的矮个子和胖乎乎的身材,当然还有他特有的小胡子。

As any good plumber, he wears blue overalls and a red T-shirt.

作为一个好的管道工,他穿着蓝色工作服和红色T恤。

He also wears a red cap with his name's initial printed on it.

他还戴着一顶印有姓名首字母的红色帽子。

Sometimes, he wears red overalls and a brown T-shirt instead.

有时,他会穿红色工作服和棕色T恤。

The idea of the cap was born because, it was difficult for graphic designers at that time to animate Mario's hair when he jumped.

这顶帽子的想法诞生是因为,当时的平面设计师很难在马里奥跳跃时为他的头发制作动画。

Same with the moustache - it was easier than drawing a smily face.

小胡子也一样——这比画一张笑脸容易。

His brother Luigi also follows this same style, varying the color (green), his height and his weight.

他的兄弟路易吉也遵循同样的风格,只是衣服颜色是绿色,身高比他高,体重和他一样。

Mario loves pizza and pasta, so much, that he even dreams about them!

马里奥非常喜欢比萨和意大利面,甚至在做梦时都会梦到它们!

Mario is a kind character, of a noble heart.

马里奥是一个善良的人,拥有高尚的心灵。

He loves his brother Luigi so much.

他非常喜欢他的哥哥路易吉。

He also shares some feeling with Princess Peach, but they only love each other as friends (information that would need to be confirmed though).

他也和桃花公主有一些感情,但他们只是朋友之间的感情(不过,这些信息还需要确认)。

He loves adventures, he is a humble, calm and good natured person.

他喜欢冒险,他是一个谦虚、冷静和善良的人。

The Plumber doesn't like talking very much - only grumbling and saying some "Mamma Mia" "It's-a-me Mario!", "Here We Go",

这名水管工不太喜欢说话,只会发牢骚说“妈妈咪呀”“是我啊,马里奥!”“开始了”

or "Okey Dokey" will do for him.

或者“好的”。

From the 90s, Mario competes against Sonic, the mascot of Sega, Nintendo's main rival.

从90年代开始,马里奥与任天堂的主要竞争对手世嘉的吉祥物索尼克竞争。

During more than a decade, both have developed different games with Mario and Sonic as protagonists, trying to surpass the other.

在十多年的时间里,这两个公司分别以马里奥和索尼克为主角开发了不同的游戏,试图超越对方。

But in 2002 this rivalry came to an end.

但在2002年,这种竞争结束了。

Due to a partnership between Sega and Nintendo, Sonic became one of the characters in Mario's games.

由于世嘉和任天堂的合作,索尼克成为马里奥游戏中的角色之一。

He became, therefore, an ally and friendly competitor.

因此,他成了马里奥的盟友和友好的竞争者。

But if we wanna talk about rivalry, we have to mention Wario, our Mario's dark side.

但如果我们想谈论竞争,我们必须提到瓦里奥——马里奥的黑暗面。

He is his complete opposite: selfish, greedy, manipulative and evil.

他是他的完全相反面:自私、贪婪、喜欢操纵、邪恶。

Wario has always envied Mario, because of his fame.

瓦里奥一直嫉妒马里奥的名声。

Just as Wario, we also have Waluigi, Luigi's dark side, who along with Wario, fight everyone ... they even fight against Bowser!

就像瓦里奥一样,我们还有瓦鲁吉——路易吉的黑暗面。他和瓦里奥一起,同每个人战斗……他们甚至和酷霸王作战!

Mario has had several jobs - doctor, demolition worker, boxing referee, painter, archeologist, sportsman, runner ...

马里奥有好几份工作——医生、拆迁工人、拳击裁判、画家、考古学家、运动员、赛跑运动员……

just as many jobs as games released by Nintendo.

他的职业就像任天堂发布的游戏一样多。

This unstoppable hero has been entertaining the whole world for 30 years, and we hope he keeps doing it for another 30 years at least.

30年来,这位势不可挡的英雄一直为全世界带来欢乐,我们希望他至少再继续30年。

C'mon, Mario!

来吧,马里奥!
