《疯狂动物城》里Zootopia隐喻是什么？
在知乎上看到有人提问，说最近大热的电影《疯狂动物城》的英文名Zootopia是zoo to pia 三个英语词汇的组合，但是不知道pia是什么意思，所以想问pia在这里是什么含义……有人回复：pia是在打你这个单身狗的脸。
拜拜的英文
实际上，Zootopia的正确拆分方式是zoo+utopia，直译应为「动物乌托邦」。utopia这个词来自于500年前托马斯·莫尔（Thomas More）的著作《乌托邦》（Utopia），莫尔在书中描绘了一个犹如世外桃源的理想社会，并将这个理想社会取名为Utopia。在古希腊语中ou是「无」的意思，topos是「地方」的意思，故这个词指的是「无何有之乡」。后人们也用乌托邦来指空想出来的理想社会。
韦氏大学词典对utopia的解释是：
1.an imaginary and indefinitely remote place
2.often capitalized:a place of ideal perfection especially in laws,government,and social conditions
3.an impractical scheme for social improvement

其实你不懂他的心电影那么这个乌托邦到底长什么样子？
莫尔所描绘的乌托邦是个岛国——中部最宽，宽达二百英里；两头逐渐变窄，呈新月形：The island of Utopia is in the middle two hundred miles broad,and holds almost at the same breadth over a great part of it,but it grows narrower towards both ends.Its figure is not unlike a crescent.Between its horns the a comes in eleven miles broad,and spreads itlf into a great bay,which is environed with land to the compass of about five hundred miles,and is well cured from winds.In this bay there is no great current;the whole coast is,as it were,one continued harbour,which gives all that live in the island great convenience for mutual commerce.
岛上共有54座城市，所有人使用共同的语言、传统、风俗和法律。城市的布局、外观差别甚微。作者详细描绘了作为全国中心、也就是乌托邦的首都亚马乌罗（Amaurot）。亚马乌罗的街道布局整齐，这样不仅有利于交通，还可以免于风害。建筑都十分美观、整齐。每家的前门通街，后门通花园：

乌托邦人以务农为业。女性一般从事毛织和麻纺，而男性担任其余较繁重的工作：Agriculture is that which is so universally understood among them that no person,either man or woman,is ignorant of it.Women,for the most part,deal in wool and flax,which suit best with their weakness,leaving the ruder trades to the men.

全体居民在规定的时间在厅馆聚齐享用午餐及晚餐。在家吃不是不可以，但被认为是欠体统的：
At the hours of dinner and supper the whole Syphogranty being called together by sound of trumpet,they meet and eat together,except only such as are in the hospitals or lie sick at home. Yet,after the halls are rved,no man is hindered to carry provisions home from the marketplace, for they know that none does that but for some good reason;for though any that will may eat at home,yet none does it willingly,since it is both ridiculous and foolish for any to give themlves the trouble to make ready an ill dinner at home when there is a much more plentiful one made ready for him so near hand.
