The story so far
Everything you need before watching
With the arcade closing, King Candy turns a cheerful Sugar Rush crowd into a race-day audience. He announces a pay-to-play contest: the first nine racers will make tomorrow’s roster. Vanellope celebrates when her medal gets her in, but the crowd immediately labels her a glitch and security gives chase. The scene shifts from polished royal ceremony to shouted commands, making its power play easy to feel.
情态被动:cannot 加 be allowed 表示“不能被允许”,to race 说明被允许的动作。
SourBill,thatglitchcannotbeallowed to race!
酸比尔,绝不能让那个故障参赛!

❝ 糖果王的竞速公告
Hello, my royal subjects! Ha-ha! Have some candy! Thank you for that stirring introduction, Sour Bill. And thank you to today's avatars. It was a wonderful day of racing. It was. But now the arcade is closed, so it's time to wipe the slate clean. And race to decide our new roster. The first nine racers across that finish line will represent Sugar Rush as tomorrow's avatars!
