Hayao Miyazaki, the Japanese filmmaker who brought us “My Neighbor Totoro,” “Spirited Away” and “Howl’s Moving Castle,” announced his retirement in 2013. His final feature-length movie was slated to be “The Wind Rises,” the story of Japanese aircraft designer Jiro Horikoshi.
2013年,日本電影導演宮崎駿宣布息影,他曾為我們帶來了《龍貓》、《千與千尋》以及《哈爾的移動城堡》等電影。他的最后一部長篇電影被確定為《起風了》,這部電影講述了日本飛機設計師堀越二郎的故事。

But this week, a NHK television special called “The Man Who Is Not Done: Hayao Miyazaki,” revealed that he is endeavoring to finish another feature-length film.
然而,本周,日本放送協(xié)會播出了一部專題片《還未完成使命的男人:宮崎駿》。據(jù)該片透露,宮崎駿正努力制作另一部長篇電影。

Because it takes him around five years to complete his more ambitious undertakings, Miyazaki noted in the TV special that he will be nearly 80 by the time this film is completely ― hopefully in time for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
要完成這項宏偉事業(yè)將耗費他大約5年的時間。在專題片中,宮崎駿表示這部電影完工的時候他差不多都80歲了,希望這部影片能趕得上2020年東京奧運會。

He also joked that hopefully he’ll be alive once production is completed. “I think it’s still better to die when you are doing something than dying when you are doing nothing,” he said.
他還開玩笑道,希望在制作完成的時候自己還活著?!拔艺J為,在有所作為的時候死去比在無所事事的時候死去要更好,”他說道。

In the meantime, Miyazaki’s work on shorter films for the Ghibli Museum will be put on hold. His 12-minute film about a tiny caterpillar will be completed in the coming year.
同時,宮崎駿為吉卜力博物館制作的短片將被擱置。由他制作的關于一只小毛毛蟲的12分鐘影片將于明年完工。
