Deep down in the Pacific Ocean in the city of Bikini Bottom lives a square yellow sea sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants, because he always wears square pants. SpongeBob lives in a pineapple with his pet snail, Gary, loves his job as a cook at the Krusty Krab, and has a knack2) for getting into trouble without really trying. When he's not getting on the nerves of his cranky3) next-door neighbor, Squidward, SpongeBob can usually be found smack4) in the middle of all sorts of strange situations with his best buddy, the simple yet lovable starfish5), Patrick, or his thrill-seeking6) surfer-girl squirrel pal, Sandy. In Bikini Bottom, fish walking, blowing bubbles is art, and the tastiest undersea treat is a deep-fried Krabby Patty Burger. Everything is so fantastic! 在太平洋深处一个叫做比基尼堡的城市里，住着一块方形的黄色海绵，名叫海潜昌绵鲍勃方短裤，因为他总是穿着方形短裤。海绵宝宝和他的宠物蜗牛加沃稼里一起住在菠萝屋里。他非常热爱在蟹堡王餐厅当厨师的工作，并且有着不费吹灰之力就惹一身麻烦的本事。海绵宝宝不是在招惹他的暴躁邻居章鱼哥，就是和他最好的朋友——一只单纯而又可爱的小海星派大星，或者寻求刺激的潜水小松鼠珊迪一起，深陷五花八门的奇异境况中。在比基尼堡，你会发现鱼类一边走路一边吹泡泡是一种艺术，而在海底最诱人的美食就是煎得熟透的蟹皇堡。所有的一切都是如此美妙！ 角色如此独特 SpongeBob is a sea sponge who lives in a fully-furnished, two-bedroom pineapple, and works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, a hamburger fast-food restaurant, and his dream in life is to be the ocean's ultimate fry cook. SpongeBob is optimistic and earnest7), but despite his best intentions, he can't seem to avoid creating problems for himself — and usually everyone else around him, too. While trying too hard, he tends to do things wrong, which usually spells disaster. But SpongeBob is always looking on the bright side of life, and his enthusiasm about everything makes him downright irresistible. 海绵宝宝是一块海绵，生活在家具齐全、拥有两间卧室的菠萝屋里。他在一家汉堡包快餐店——蟹堡王那里做煎炸汉堡包的工作，而他的人生梦想就是成为海洋里最好的煎炸师。海绵宝宝乐观又认真，但是，尽管他的出发点都很好，却好像仍免不了给自己制造麻烦，而且还常会殃及身边的每一个人。虽然海绵宝宝十分努力，炼神局却总是把事情搞砸，招致灾难。好在他总是能看到生活的光明面，他对所有事物的热情使他的魅力让人无法抗拒。 SpongeBob — A trouble-maker 海绵宝宝——麻烦制造者 Gary — SpongeBob's loyal pet 加里——海绵宝宝忠诚的小宠物 Gary is a snail, who leaves a trail of slime8) everywhere he goes. He may not be so good at catching Frisbees9) or fetching slippers, but Gary is the best pet an invertebrate10) sea sponge with square pants could possibly ask for, and that's all that matters. 加里是一只到哪里都会留下黏液痕迹的小蜗牛。也许他并不擅长接住飞盘或是帮主人取拖鞋，但加里绝对是穿着方形裤子的无脊椎海绵能找到的最好宠物，而这才是最重要的。 Patrick — SpongeBob's loyal buddy 派大星——海绵宝宝忠诚的朋友 Patrick's big ambition in life can be summed up in four words: Uh...I...Uh...forget. As SpongeBob's best friend, Patrick is always offering his advice and encouragement. Unfortunately, Pat's not exactly the brightest starfish in the sea, and he usually ends up helping SpongeBob into a heap1 1) of trouble. Even their simplest plans end up in disaster. But for better or worse, Patrick will always be SpongeBob's loyal buddy. 派大星生活的雄心壮志可以总结成四个词：呃……我……呃……忘了。作为海绵宝宝最好的朋友，派大星总是给他提供建议和鼓励。但遗憾的是，派大星严格意义上并不算是海里最聪明的海星，而且他总是越帮越忙，最后让海绵宝宝陷入一大堆的麻烦中。有时候，即使是最简单的计划，他们也会以灾难收场。但不论结果是好是坏，派大星永远是海绵宝宝的忠实朋友 Sandy — the apple of SpongeBob's eye 珊迪——海绵宝宝的掌上明珠 Sandy is a sea dome1 2)-dwelling squirrel who lives for action and adventure. Since she is a land creature, she needs to wear a pressurized suit under the sea. Sandy is Bikini Bottom's only resident rodent1 3), and SpongeBob's karate1 4) sparring1 5) partner. For Sandy, SpongeBob is the sea bottom's best stunt buddy, and when they get together, crash helmets1 6) and parachutes1 7) are usually required. 珊迪是一只住在海底圆形罩子里的小松鼠，她的生命里充满了运动和冒险。珊迪是陆地生物，所以在海里她需要穿着潜水服。她是比基尼堡里惟一的啮齿动物居民，而且也是海绵宝宝的空手道拳击陪练伙伴。对珊迪来说，海绵宝宝是她在海里最好的特技表演伙伴，当他们在一起时，钢盔和降落伞通常是必不可少的。 Squidward — SpongeBob's lunch partner 章鱼哥——海绵宝宝的午餐搭档 Squidward is a mean, whiny1 8), stick-in-the-mud1 9) squid who thinks he's better than anyone else. Everything annoys him. The Krusty Krab annoys him. The customers annoy him. Mr. Krabs annoys him. But most of all, SpongeBob annoys him — almost 24 hours a day. Besides working side by side with SpongeBob at the Krusty Krab, he is SpongeBob's next-door neighbor. If it weren't for the fact that SpongeBob is the only one who likes listening to his clarinet20) playing, Squidward would have nothing to do with him. 章鱼哥是一只吝啬的、爱发牢骚的、保守的乌贼，他觉得自己比其他任何人都棒。任何事都可以惹怒他。蟹堡王令他生气；顾客令他生气；蟹老板也令他生气；但最让他生气的是，海绵宝宝几乎每天24小时都会惹他厌烦。除了一起在蟹堡王工作外，他还是海绵宝宝的邻居。要不是海绵宝宝是惟一愿意听他演奏单簧管的听众，章鱼哥根本不愿搭理他。
