Rotta the Hutt, or Huttlet, is Jabba the Hutt's infant son as depicted in the theatrical Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie. A small, squirmy little creature with large, wet eyes, a wide mouth, and stunted little arms, Rotta gurgles and whines, but doesn't say much discernible... at least, to humanoid ears. The heir apparent to the Hutt empire, Rotta is barely old enough to slither before his conniving and power-hungry great-uncle, Ziro, already has him marked for death. Rotta's vocal performances were provided by David Acord, sound designer from Skywalker Sound for the movie and the series.
赫特人罗塔，或者说，小赫特人罗塔，是一个婴儿，赫特人贾巴的儿子，出现在《克隆人战争》剧场版电影里。罗塔是一个蠕动的小生物，有着水汪汪的大眼睛、一张大嘴巴和两条细小的胳膊。罗塔爱笑爱哭，但口齿不清……至少，对人形种族来说，口齿不清。罗塔很显然是赫特犯罪帝国的继承人。尽管他才刚刚学会滑行，但他那阴险、贪权的叔祖父齐罗已经把他视为眼中钉。罗塔的语音效果由天行者音效公司的音效设计师戴维·阿科德提供。《克隆人战争》电影和连续剧的音效都是由天行者音效公司制作的。

Strange Hutt Physiologies
奇特的赫特人生理机能

In Expanded Universe guidebooks, Hutts have traditionally depicted as biologically hermaphroditic, so the answer to the commonly voiced question, "who is Rotta's mother?" is, in fact, Jabba as well. Hutts typically adopt male personas, except when pregnant, when they often (but not always) adopt a female demeanor instead. The Hutt life cycle is lengthy, with aged Hutts living many centuries. To a human's eyes, a Huttlet may seem the equivalent of a newborn infant or toddler, but at the time of the Clone Wars, Rotta was already 10 years old. This is because baby Hutts are cared for and tended for 50 human years before they are even considered adolescent.
在衍生宇宙指南里，赫特人传统上被设定为雌雄同体，因此，“谁是罗塔的母亲？”这个常见问题的答案就是——还是贾巴。赫特人通常表现出男性的特征，但在怀孕期间，他们的行为举止经常（但不总是）显得女性化。赫特人的寿命很长，年长的赫特人能活几个世纪。在人类眼中，小赫特人看上去就像新生儿或蹒跚学步的孩子，但在克隆人战争时期，罗塔已经10岁了。这是因为赫特儿童要照顾或看护50年才能被认为进入青春期。

Rotta the MacGuffin
罗塔——贯穿全剧的线索

In The Clone Wars feature film, Rotta is kidnapped by mysterious agents looking to secure Jabba the Hutt's loyalties during the interstellar conflict. Jabba's criminal empire holds control over the Outer Rim trade routes, beyond the borders of Republic control. Both the Republic and the Separatists are trying to curry favor with Jabba, and both offer promise of finding whoever it was who kidnapped young Rotta.
在《克隆人战争》电影里，为了把赫特人贾巴拖入这场星际冲突，神秘的特工绑架了罗塔。在共和国疆域之外，贾巴的犯罪帝国控制着外环的贸易航路。共和国和分离势力都想拉拢贾巴，他们都许诺将找出绑架小罗塔的人。

In truth, the Separatists backed the abduction. While Rotta was on a pleasure cruise aboard his father's sail barge, it was attacked by a squid-like Trident ship commanded by Asajj Ventress, though the details of this kidnapping would go unrevealed for some time. Jabba, incensed that someone would dare cross and betray him like this, dispatched his most fearsome bounty hunters to track down the assailants. These hunters would return as beheaded corpses, again secretly courtesy of Ventress.
事实上，分离势力就是这起绑架事件的幕后黑手。当罗塔乘坐父亲的风帆游船外出游览时，遭到“三叉戟号”的袭击。这艘像乌贼一样的飞船由阿萨吉·文崔斯指挥。但这次绑架的具体细节一时间无从知晓。贾巴被膽敢这样欺骗、背叛自己的人激怒了，他派出手下最厉害的赏金猎人去追捕绑匪，但只有他们的头颅被送了回来。这又是文崔斯搞的鬼。

Republic Clone Intelligence would eventually confirm that the child would be held in an abandoned B'omarr monastery on Teth, and Anakin Skywalker led a task force to recover the child. There, he tangled with Asajj but he and his new Padawan, Ahsoka, found Rotta. The little squishy alien was sick -- and pungent -- and Ahsoka found him cute, nicknaming him Stinky. He needed immediate attention, or else the Jedi risked losing him to fever. Aboard a stolen spice freighter, Anakin attempted to rush Rotta to Tatooine.
共和国克隆人侦察兵终于确认孩子被关在泰思星球上一座废弃的布奥马修道院里。于是，阿纳金·天行者便率领一支特遣队去解救孩子。在那里，他和阿萨吉交了手，但他和他的新学徒阿索卡找到了罗塔。这个粘糊糊的小异族人病了——很难过——阿索卡发现他很可爱，管他叫“臭臭”。他需要马上得到照料，否则会有发高烧的危险。阿纳金偷了一艘香料货船，把罗塔急送至塔图因。

Meanwhile, the Separatists had manipulated a holographic recording of the rescue of Rotta to make it appear the Jedi were responsible for the crime. Jabba was prepared to sign a treaty with Count Dooku to ensure vengeance against the Jedi, but Skywalker and Ahsoka arrived in time to reveal the truth: the Separatists were behind the kidnapping, with the complicity of Jabba's uncle, Ziro, who stood poised to inherit control of the Hutt criminal empire with Rotta and Jabba out of the picture.
与此同时，分离势力炮制了一段解救罗塔的全息录像，诬蔑绝地应该为这起绑架事件负责。为了向绝地复仇，贾巴准备跟杜库伯爵签署条约，但天行者和阿索卡及时赶到，揭露了真相：分离势力是绑架事件的幕后黑手，贾巴的叔叔齐罗是同谋，他想把罗塔和贾巴除掉，自己继承赫特犯罪帝国的控制权。

Jabba was grateful for the return of his beloved little "Punky Muffin," and in exchange signed a treaty with the Republic, allowing clone forces access to his hyperspace routes throughout the Outer Rim. This would allow the Republic to counter the Separatist efforts to mine major routes that cut of the Republic from their clone reinforcements.
贾巴非常感谢共和国救回他亲爱的“小松糕”，作为回报，他与共和国签署条约，允许克隆人部队在外环利用他的超空间航路。之前，分离势力通过破坏主航路来切断共和国克隆人部队的补给线。现在，共和国粉碎了敌人的阴谋。

Collecting Rotta
收集罗塔玩具

Probably the most eye-catching collectible made to depict Rotta was plush life-size Rotta made to fit within a usable soft clone trooper backpack. Made by Comic Images, the little Huttlet is about the same size he'd be in "real life," has a huggable plush body, and a velour-like finish to his skin.
或许最引人瞩目的罗塔玩具是一比一大小的长毛绒罗塔，它可以被放进一个日用型克隆人软背包里。这个小赫特人由漫画图像公司制作，大概跟其“真实”尺寸差不多大，有着毛茸茸的可爱身体和天鹅绒般的皮肤。

Another noteworthy version of Rotta was included with the Ahsoka Tano action figure from Hasbro. Although tiny -- only about an inch long -- this itty bitty Hutt toy actually sported two points of articulation, as his arms are moveable.
另一款值得注意的罗塔玩具包含在孩之宝出的阿索卡·塔诺活动人偶里。虽然很小——只有大约一英寸长——但这个微型的赫特人玩具却有两个活动关节，即两条手臂。
