　　Back in September 2013， the legendary Japanese animator and director Hayao Miyazaki formally announced he would retire and make no more feature-length films （长篇电影） following the completion of The Wind Rises （《起风了》）。 Well， it turns out that you can't keep an Oscar-winning artist away from what he loves。 Two weeks ago， Miyazaki revealed in a documentary aired on Japanese TV that he is now coming out of retirement to make a new animated feature。

　　2013年9月，传奇动画家兼导演的宫崎骏正式宣布息影。在《起风了》杀青后，他声明将退休并不会再制作长篇电影。然而，这名荣获奥斯卡终身成就奖的艺术家却无法背弃其热爱的事业。就在两周前，宫崎骏在一档日本电视纪录片里表示准备复出，拍摄一部新的动画电影。

　　According to the documentary titled Hayao Miyazaki： The Man Who Is Not Done， Miyazaki said that he was dissatisfied with the 12-minute CGI-animated film Boro the Caterpillar （《毛毛虫菠萝》） he was currently working on and would like to expand it into a feature-length film instead。 The film could take up to four years to make， which means Miyazaki would be around 80 years old by the time it's done。 If he sticks to his ideal timetable， it would be finished before the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games。

　　在纪录片《宫崎骏：闲不住的男人》中，宫崎骏表示对其近期制作的一条12分钟的动画短片《毛毛虫菠萝》并不满意，他想把这条短片做成一部长篇电影。这部电影预计将会耗时四年，宫崎骏彼时已经接近8旬。如果他能顺利执行该片的时间安排，这部电影将在2020年东京奥运会前完成。

　　Little is known about Boro the Caterpillar， other than that Miyazaki described the film as “a story of a tiny， hairy caterpillar， so tiny that it may be easily squished （压坏） between your fingers。” And he has been working on the story for about two decades。 The 12-minute Boro the Caterpillar will not be completed for about another year and will be screened exclusively at the Ghibli Museum （吉卜力美术馆）， a museum showcasing the work of Studio Ghibli co-founded by Miyazaki。

　　《毛毛虫菠萝》甚少为人所知，宫崎骏将这部电影形容为“一条弱小的毛茸茸的小毛毛虫的故事。”20年前他就开始创作这个故事了。这条12分钟的动画短片再过一年也未必能完工，《毛毛虫菠萝》将在吉卜力美术馆中完成所有拍摄。吉卜力美术馆专门陈列吉卜力工作室的作品，而宫崎骏正是吉卜力工作室的创建人之一。

　　Despite not receiving a green light for the new film， Miyazaki is seen starting work on animation for the project。 He plans to create storyboards （剧情梗概系列图） for about 100 cuts of footage。 “I think it's still better to die when you are doing something than dying when you are doing nothing，” he said。 This is Miyazaki we're talking about—if he wants to make a film， it's going to get done undoubtedly。 There's no way anyone would turn down another amazing piece of art from the legendary animator。

　　尽管新片还没通过审批，宫崎已经开始了该动画的制作。他打算用100帧画面来做剧情梗概系列图。“我觉得在忙碌中死去比在无为中死去要好得多，”宫崎骏说。宫崎骏就是这样的人，当他想拍电影时，他就一定会拍出来，自然也没有人能够抵挡这位传奇动画大师的影片魅力。
