机器人总动员的编号（机器人总动员WALL）

The next day, WALL · E decided to return to work. He halfheartedly got ready, then checked on EVE one more time. Leaving her on the truck’s roof with the feeble hope that the sun’s rays might awaken her, he turned away. Unenthusiastically, he called to his cockroach and set out.

At his work site, WALL · E noticed that he was just going through the motions of trash compacting. He was simply following his directive, like a normal robot. His passion for interesting items was gone. WALL · E realized he’d found the one thing in all the world that made being in it worthwhile.

第二天，瓦力决定回去工作。他草草做好准备，然后再一次去查看了一下伊芙的情况。他将她留在货车车顶上转身离开，心里对阳光可能使她苏醒抱着微弱的希望。他无精打采地叫了一声他的蟑螂，然后出发了。

在他的工作场地，瓦力发现他仅仅是在完成压缩垃圾的动作。他就像一个普通的机器人那样，不过是遵照指令行事。他对于有趣物品的热情荡然无存。瓦力意识到他已经找到了这世上唯一让他的人生有价值的事。
