As the train came around a bend, Judy gazed out the window at the incredible sight in the distance: Zootopia. She pressed her face against the glass and watched each borough¹ of the city pass by.

 

Judy exited the train at Central Station, which served downtown Zootopia, and made her way outside into the city's central plaza². It was incredible! She took out her earbuds and let the chaotic³ city sounds wash over her as she looked around, awestruck. Animals of all shapes and sizes rushed by, hurrying this way and that. It was a far cry from Bunnyburrow!

 

She looked down at her phone and checked her maps app to figure out which way to go.

 

When she found her apartment building, the landlady⁴, Dharma, an armadillo, led her to a little apartment.

 

"Welcome to the Grand Pangolin Arms," said

 

Dharma, stepping aside to let Judy in. "Complimentary⁵ delousing once a month. Don't lose your key."

 

Kudu and Oryx, Judy's neighbors, passed in the hallway. Judy greeted them warmly. "Oh, hi, I'm Judy. Your new neighbor."

 

"Yeah, well, we're loud," said Kudu.

 

"Don't expect us to apologize for it," added Oryx.

 

The two hurried off, slamming the door of their apartment behind them. Dharma had left as well, leaving Judy alone in her apartment for the first time. She looked around.

 

"Greasy⁶ walls...rickety bed...," said Judy.

 

Then loud voices came from the other side of the wall: "Shut up!" "You shut up!" "No! You shut up!"

 

"Crazy neighbors." Judy flopped⁷ onto the bed with a big smile. "I love it!"

 

火车过弯道时，朱迪凝望着窗外，看着远处不可思议的景色：动物城。她把脸贴在玻璃上，看着一个个城区一闪而过。

 

朱迪在位于动物城市区的中央车站下了火车，出了站便朝城市中央广场走去。太难以置信了!她四下观望着，惊叹不已;与此同时她拿掉耳塞，让城市的喧嚣声涌进她的耳朵里。各种身形、各种块头的动物疾步闪过，匆忙奔向各处。这里与兔窝镇有天壤之别!

 

她低头查看手机，通过地图程序确定了该朝哪个方向走。

 

当她找到公寓大楼时，女房东犰狳达纳默领着她进了一间小公寓房。

 

“欢迎光临穿山甲公寓。”她说道。

 

达纳默站在一侧让朱迪进房间：“每个月免费灭虫一次。别把钥匙弄丢了。”

 

朱迪的邻居库度和欧力士从走道里路过。朱迪热情地和他们打招呼：“嗨，你们好，我是朱迪，你们的新邻居。”

 

“哦，好的，我们很吵的哦。”库度说道。

 

“别指望我们为此道歉。”欧力士补充道。

 

这两位匆忙离开，砰的一声甩手关上了公寓门。达纳默也离开了，留下朱迪第一次独自待在房间里。她四下环顾着。

 

“满墙油污……快要散架的床……”朱迪说道。

 

就在这时，隔壁传来吵闹的声音。“闭嘴!”“你闭嘴!”“不!你闭嘴!”

 

“疯狂的邻居。”朱迪扑通一声躺在床上，满脸笑容地说道，“我喜欢!”
