The nominations won’t be announced until Jan. 15, but it’s safe to say that the greatest filmmaker associated with the 2015 Academy Awards has already received his Oscar, delivered a modest but revealing acceptance speech and flown home to Japan and, perhaps, retirement.
2015年的奥斯卡奖提名要到1月15日才宣布，但是毫无疑问，最优秀的电影人今年已经得到了他的奥斯卡奖杯，他发表了谦逊而又真情流露的获奖致辞后便乘飞机回到日本家中，或许从此就会退休。
Hayao Miyazaki was given an honorary Oscar on Nov. 8 at the Governors Awards ceremony, one that he can put on the shelf next to the statuette he won in 2003 when his masterpiece, “Spirited Away,” was named best animated feature. He got off a sly one-liner about his wife and paid an impish tribute to the Hollywood veteran Maureen O’Hara, a fellow Governors Award honoree along with Harry Belafonte and the French screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière.
11月8日，宫崎骏在奥斯卡主席奖的典礼上获得终身成就奖，这是他第二次获得奥斯卡奖杯，第一次是在2003年，他的杰作《千与千寻的神隐》获得了最佳动画长片奖。他说了一句关于妻子的玩笑话，并且顽皮地向好莱坞资深演员玛琳·奥哈拉(Maureen O’Hara)致意，她和哈里·贝拉方特(Harry Belafonte)及法国编剧让-克劳德·卡瑞尔亦获得了主席奖荣誉。
Between those two humorous notes, he was serious — honest, elegiac, rueful — on the subjects of animation and his country’s history, which gave his brief remarks something in common with his films. “I think I’ve been lucky because I’ve been able to participate in the last era when we can make films with paper, pencils and film,” he said through a translator. “Another fact of luck is that my country has not been at war for the 50 years that I have been making films. Of course, we’ve profited from wars, but we’re very fortunate that we have not had to go to war ourselves.”
在这两句幽默的话语之间，宫崎骏非常严肃，他诚恳、伤感而悲哀地谈起动画片与日本的历史，这些话题令他简短的致辞有了和他的影片同样的气质。“我觉得自己非常幸运，因为我可以参与到使用纸张、铅笔和胶片制作电影的最后时代。”他借助翻译说道。“另一个幸运之处是，我的祖国在我拍电影的这50年时间里，没有战争。当然，我们从战争中获益，但我们非常幸运，可以不必亲自参与战争。”
Many things contribute to the enchantment of the 11 animated feature films Mr. Miyazaki has made, beginning with “The Castle of Cagliostro” in 1979. Their sheer pictorial beauty, in the lush, painterly style he developed during years of apprenticeship as a hands-on animator for film and television and as a comic book, or manga, artist. Their swooping, beautifully constructed action sequences, breathless scenes of racing, leaping and, always, flight — in vintage airplanes, on broomsticks or mounted atop mysterious beasts. And, of course, the beasts, spirits, demons and familiars themselves, a seemingly inexhaustible menagerie of companions and impediments for his plucky young heroes (who are most often heroines).
宫崎骏共制作了11部动画长片，最早一部是1979年的《鲁邦三世：卡里奥斯特罗城》，这些动画的魅力是由很多因素共同造成的。它们有着纯粹的绘画之美，宫崎骏曾经当过电视和电影动画绘制的学徒，还做过漫画家，他从那时便开始发展出自己丰富的、油画般的风格。 他的影片中，一系列动作有着全面而美丽的结构；赛跑和跳跃的情景令人透不过气，更有乘着老式飞机、女巫扫帚与神秘野兽的打斗场面。当然，那些野兽、神灵、怪物和常见的形象，如同一个无穷尽的小动物园，为他笔下年轻勇敢的英雄们（大部分是女英雄们）充当伙伴和敌人。
