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,日本电影导演宫崎骏宣布息影,他曾为我们带来了《龙猫》、《千与千寻》以及《哈尔的移动城堡》等电影。他的最后一部长篇电影被确定为《起风了》,这部电影讲述了日本飞机设计师堀越二郎的故事。

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,日本放送协会播出了一部专题片《还未完成使命的男人:宫崎骏》。据该片透露,宫崎骏正努力制作另一部长篇电影。

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.
要完成这项宏伟事业将耗费他大约5年的时间。在专题片中,宫崎骏表示这部电影完工的时候他差不多都80岁了,希望这部影片能赶得上2020年东京奥运会。

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.
他还开玩笑道,希望在制作完成的时候自己还活着。“我认为,在有所作为的时候死去比在无所事事的时候死去要更好,”他说道。

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.
同时,宫崎骏为吉卜力博物馆制作的短片将被搁置。由他制作的关于一只小毛毛虫的12分钟影片将于明年完工。
