  You might know tons about Pikachu. How the character used to look slightly different or how Pikachu adores ketchup. But maybe you don't know these tidbits.

  你可能知道很多关于皮卡丘的事,比如这个角色先前的版本跟现在的版本在外观上的细微区别,或者皮卡丘很爱吃薯条。但你可能不知道下面这些趣闻。
  In a recent interview with How to Draw Manga, voice actor Ikue Otani talked about bringing the character to life. The whole interview is definitely worth a read. However, here are five things you might not know about the character or the anime, courtesy of quotes from Otani.
  在最近的一次访谈中,配音演员(也就是我们常说的“声优”)大谷育江谈论了将动画角色融入生活这一话题。整个采访绝对值得一看。不过,据育江说,关于皮卡丘或《神奇宝贝》有5件不为人知的事。
  关于皮卡丘你所不知道的5件事
  1. When Ikue Otani first auditioned for the role of Pikachu, she had no idea how popular Pokémon was at the time.
  1、当大谷育江第一次试镜皮卡丘这个角色的时候,她根本没想到《神奇宝贝》会如此受欢迎。
  "There were Pokémon posters all over the room at the audition, and production officials were telling me that the characters were really popular among kids. All I could say was, 'Oh, really?' The other voice actors auditioning for the roles had the same reaction. None of us knew how popular these characters really were!"
  “当时试音的房间里贴满了《神奇宝贝》的海报,制片人就告诉我这些角色非常受小孩子们的欢迎。我当时唯一能说的就是,‘哦,真的吗?’其它参加试音的声优也是同样的反应。我们当中没有人知道这些动漫角色当时是有多受欢迎!”
  2. The Pokémon Were Originally Going To Learn How To Speak
  2、小精灵本是要学说话的
  "Pikachu was supposed to learn a language, like a baby learns a language, and that's the way I was doing it at first. Then, a few months later, the producers told me Pikachu wasn't going to speak."
  “皮卡丘本是要学说话的,就像婴儿学说话那样,而且我一开始(配音时)也是这样设定的。然后,几个月之后,制片人告诉我说皮卡丘不可以说话。”
  "At the time, I was disappointed. But because Pikachu doesn't speak Japanese, children all over the world can hear my voice."
  “我当时挺失望的。不过正因为皮卡丘不能说话,这样我的声音就能够被全世界的小孩听到了。”
  3. Pikachu Does Make Another Sound
  3、皮卡丘的确会发出别的声音
  "In the very beginning, there was a scene where Pikachu yawned. But there's no yawn sound within the 'Pikachu' sound. So instead of using 'chu', I made this yawning sound at the end."
  “一开始,剧本里有一场皮卡丘打哈欠的场景,但皮卡丘的发音没有哈欠声。所以我在最后发出了哈欠的声音而不是用‘qiu’的发音。”
  4. The Show's Producers Wanted Pikachu To Be a Dude
  4、该动漫的制片人本想把皮卡丘设定成个小男生
  "When the first game came out, the Pokémon were neither male nor female. But by the second version, some Pokémon were male, others female. To me, they're neither. But the production staff thought that Pikachu should be a boy, because if he were a girl, it could change the relationship between Pikachu and Satoshi."
  “当《神奇宝贝》(又名《口袋妖怪》)这部游戏刚发行的时候,这些小精灵没有设定性别。但到第二季时,一些小精灵被设定成男生,而另外一些则是女女生。对于我来说,它们哪个性别都不是。但制片人想着皮卡丘应该是个男生,因为如果皮卡丘被设定为女生的话,这可能会改变皮卡丘和小智之间的关系。”
  5. Pikachu's Pika-Pika Lines Are Actually Written
  5、皮卡丘的Pika-Pika台词是后面加上去的
  "The role is scripted, but the mouth movements may be a little different from what's written in the script. So for example, if Pikachu wants to say something like 'Yatte yaroze' ('Let's do it!'), I would say 'Pika-pika-chu!'"
  “这个角色是脚本上有的,但是口型可能同原剧本里写的有些不同。例如,如果皮卡丘想说些像‘Yatte yaroze’(开始吧!)之类的话时,我就会配上‘Pika-pika-chu!’的声音”。
