-Optimus Prime: Before time began, there was the Cube.

cube: 立方体【这里指立方形的能量体。】

在很久的过去，能量体就已经存在了。

We know not where it comes from,

only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life.

只知道它拥有创造世界和生命的力量。

That is how our race was born.

race: 种族

我们这个种族就是这么诞生的。

For a time, we lived in harmony,

我们一直和谐地生活着，

but like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil.

evil: 邪恶的

就像其它巨大的能量一样，人们要它的目的有善有恶。

And so began the war, a war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death,

ravage: 毁坏

所以战争开始了，一场使我们的星球毁灭的战争，

and the Cube was lost to the far reaches of space.

能量体也丢失在浩瀚的宇宙里。

We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our home,

scatter: 散开 galaxy: 银河系 rebuild: 重建

我们搜寻了整个银河，希望可以找到它来重建我们的家园。

And just when all hope seemed lost, message of a new discovery drew us to an unknown planet called Earth.

seem: 似乎 message: 消息 discovery: 发现 draw: 吸引 unknown: 未知的 planet: 行星 earth: 地球

就当我们都失去希望时，新的线索把我们带到了一个星球叫--地球。

But we were already too late.
