电影



Marching from mist-filled swamps to challenge the Trade Federation invasion of Naboo came the Gungan Grand Army, with militiagungs riding atop their faithful kaadu. Like the cavaliers of countless primitive armies, the Gungan soldiers have a special bond with their loyal mounts. At times of peace, the Gungans use the kaadu as patrol animals, policing their city streets.
冈根人大军的民兵们骑着忠诚的卡杜，走出布满迷雾的沼泽，迎战贸易联盟入侵者。就像无数原始军队的骑兵一样，冈根人士兵与他们忠诚的坐骑有着非同寻常的纽带。在和平时期，冈根人把卡杜当作巡逻动物，维护城市街头治安。

Kaadu are swift-footed scaly-skinned wingless avians with strong legs and smooth bodies. Like their Gungan masters, they have duck-billed snouts, colorful skin and aquatic ancestry. During the Battle of Naboo, Gungan generals like Jar Jar Binks commanded their troops from atop kaadu, using the animal's speed to avoid the Trade Federation battle tanks.
卡杜是一种疾步如飞、皮肤上有鳞片的无翼鸟，拥有强壮的腿和光滑的身体。就像它们的冈根主人一样，它们拥有鸭子似的口鼻、色彩斑斓的皮肤和水生动物的血统。在纳布战役期间，加·加·宾克斯等冈根人将军骑着卡杜指挥军队，利用动物的高速灵活躲避贸易联盟的战斗坦克。

衍生宇宙



The Gungans long ago domesticated the kaadu. These swamp-dwelling creatures are primarily adapted for life on land, though they can breathe underwater for extended periods of time.
冈根人很久以前就驯化了卡杜。尽管能在水下呼吸很长一段时间，这些栖息在沼泽里的生物主要还是适应陆地生活。

Kaadu lay their eggs in the open ground, leaving them fairly vulnerable to predators. These leathery eggs are quite tasty and are favored by the peko peko. The kaadu lay large clutches of eggs so that some hopefully survive to adulthood.
卡杜在空旷的场所下蛋，将这些相当脆弱的蛋留给掠食者。这些皮壳蛋非常可口，很受佩科佩科的喜爱。卡杜会下相当多的蛋，所以其中一些很有希望成年。

The kaadu possess sharp hearing and a keen sense of smell. Gungan warriors decorate their kaadu with huge goff feathers.
卡杜拥有敏锐的听觉和嗅觉。冈根人战士用巨大的戈夫鸟羽毛装饰卡杜。

幕后



The kaadu began as Tatooine beasts of burden -- two-legged animals that would haul around Podracer engines and other machinery. When the evolving storyline of Episode I called for the Gungans to be beast-riding soldiers, the kaadu was transferred to the much more humid environment of Naboo. Such a switch gave them some more aquatic characteristics -- namely a duck-billed snout and smoother skin.
卡杜一开始是塔图因上的役畜——一种拖拉飞梭赛车引擎和其它机械的两足动物。当《第一部》的故事情节发展要求冈根人成为骑兵时，卡杜被转移到了环境潮湿得多的纳布。这样的转变使它们拥有了更多水生动物的特征，即鸭子似的口鼻和更光滑的皮肤。

The kaadu seen in Episode I are computer-generated models. Their run-cycle features a hopping trot that moves them across the battlefield at a brisk pace.
《第一部》里出现的卡杜是计算机生成的模型。它们的奔跑方式是蹦蹦跳跳的，这使它们能以轻快的步态穿过战场。
