享譽全球的日本動畫大師宮崎駿（Hayao Miyazaki）剛剛過了80歲的生日，曾七次引退都沒有成功的他目前還在忙著製作新動畫《你想活出怎樣的人生》。他的經典動畫陪伴了無數人成長，也溫暖了很多心靈。打造了如此美好的動畫世界的宮崎駿是怎樣的一個人呢？一起來讀一讀他的名言。
ON INSPIRATION 關於靈感
"I get inspiration from my everyday life.」
「我從自己的日常生活中攫取靈感。」
ON CHILDREN 關於兒童
"We get strength and encouragement from watching children."
「觀察兒童讓我們獲得力量和鼓勵。」
"I don't like games. You're robbing the precious time of children to be children. They need to be in touch with the real world more.」
「我不喜歡電子遊戲。電子遊戲剝奪了孩子寶貴的童年時光。他們需要更多地接觸真實世界。」
ON HUMAN NATURE 關於人性
"Humans have both the urge to create and destroy.」
「人類同時擁有創造和毀滅的衝動。」
"In the past, humans hesitated when they took lives, even non-human lives. But society had changed, and they no longer felt that way. As humans grew stronger, I think that we became quite arrogant, losing the sorrow of 'we have no other choice.' I think that in the essence of human civilization, we have the desire to become rich without limit, by taking the lives of other creatures.」
「過去人類在殺戮時會猶豫，即便是殺戮動物也是如此。但是社會變了，人類不再有這種感覺了。隨著人類變得更強大，我認為我們變得傲慢了，失去了別無選擇的傷感。我認為，人類文明的本質就是通過殺戮其他生物來滿足自己無限富有的欲望。」
ON RELATIONSHIPS 關於感情關係
"I』ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue. Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mutually inspire each other to live—if I’m able to, then perhaps I』ll be closer to portraying a true expression of love.」
「只是因為一個男孩和一個女孩出現在電影中，就必須有戀愛情節，我對這條不成文的規定感到懷疑。我想描繪的感情關係不太一樣，我覺得兩個人應該互為彼此活下去的精神力量。如果我能表達出來的話，或許這更接近真正的愛情。」
"Once you have met someone, you never really forget them.」
「一旦你遇到了那個特別的人，你永遠不會忘記他/她。」
ON WOMEN 關於女性
"Many of my movies have strong female leads—brave, self-sufficient girls that don't think twice about fighting for what they believe with all their heart. They'll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a savior. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.」
「我的許多電影中都有堅強的女主人公，她們都是勇敢自立的女性，為了自己全心全意相信的夢想義無反顧地奮鬥。她們需要一個朋友或一個支持者，但永遠不需要拯救者。任何女性都有能力像男性一樣成為英雄。」
ON MOVIEMAKING 關於電影製作
"All my films are all my children.」
「我所有的電影都是我的孩子們。」
"I can't stand modern movies. The images are too weird and eccentric for me.」
「我受不了現代電影。對我來說畫面太詭異太古怪了。」
"I would like to make a film to tell children 『it's good to be alive.』」
「我想製作一部電影，告訴孩子們『活著真好』。」
"In order to grow your audience, you must betray their expectations."
「為了吸引更多觀眾，你必須打破他們的期待。」
ON ART 關於藝術
"If [hand-drawn animation] is a dying craft, we can't do anything about it. Civilization moves on. Where are all the fresco painters now? Where are the landscape artists? What are they doing now? The world is changing. I have been very fortunate to be able to do the same job for 40 years. That's rare in any era.」
「如果手繪動畫是一種消亡的藝術，我們也無能為力。文明在前進。壁畫畫師現在都去哪了？風景畫藝術家呢？他們現在都在做什麼呢？世界在改變。我非常有幸40年來都能做同一份工作。這在任何時代都是很罕見的。」
ON THE CREATIVE PROCESS 關於創作過程
"The creation of a single world comes from a huge number of fragments and chaos.」
「要創造一個世界，你要從海量碎片和混沌中取材。」
"My process is thinking, thinking and thinking—thinking about my stories for a long time.」
「我的創作過程就是思考、思考、思考，花很長時間來思考我的故事。」
"I do believe in the power of story. I believe that stories have an important role to play in the formation of human beings, that they can stimulate, amaze, and inspire their listeners.」
「我相信故事的力量。我相信故事在人的成長過程中扮演著重要角色，故事可以給傾聽者帶來鼓舞、驚喜和啟迪。」
ON BELIEVING IN ONESELF 關於相信自己
"Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.」
「永遠要相信你自己。相信自己，無論你身在哪裡，你都將無所畏懼。」
ON TECHNOLOGY 關於技術
"It seems like everything that we see perceived in the brain before we actually use our own eyes, that everything we see is coming through computers or machines and then is being input in our brain cells. So that really worries me.」
「似乎還沒等我們用自己的眼睛，我們看到的一切東西就已進入了大腦，似乎我們看到的所有東西都通過大腦或機器直接進入了腦細胞。這著實讓我擔憂。」
"Do everything by hand, even when using the computer."
「親手做所有事，哪怕是使用電腦。」
ON CRITICS 關於評論
"I never read reviews. I'm not interested. But I value a lot the reactions of the spectators.」
「我從來不看評論。我不感興趣。但我對觀眾的反應很看重。」
ON LIFE 關於人生
"Life is a winking light in the darkness.」
「人生就是黑暗中閃爍的一點光。」
"Yet, even amidst the hatred and carnage, life is still worth living. It is possible for wonderful encounters and beautiful things to exist.」
「儘管有仇恨和殘殺，人生仍然值得。因為人生中可能會有奇妙的邂逅和美麗的事物。」
ON GOOD VERSUS EVIL 關於善惡
"You must see with eyes unclouded by hate. See the good in that which is evil, and the evil in that which is good. Pledge yourself to neither side, but vow instead to preserve the balance that exists between the two.」
「你必須用不被仇恨蒙蔽的雙眼去看這世界。要看見，惡中有善，善中也有惡。不要急於站隊，而要在二者之間保持平衡。」
"The concept of portraying evil and then destroying it—I know this is considered mainstream, but I think it is rotten. This idea that whenever something evil happens someone particular can be blamed and punished for it, in life and in politics is hopeless.」
「把邪惡刻畫出來然後將其毀滅，我知道這是主流概念，但我認為這種情節糟透了。無論何時發生了邪惡的事，總能歸咎於某人並對其施加懲罰，這無論在生活中還是政治上都是毫無希望的。」
ON RETIREMENT 關於退休
"If you're going to retire, retire early.」
「如果你準備退休，那就早點退休。」
ON THE FUTURE 關於未來
"The future is clear. It’s going to fall apart. What’s the use in worrying? It’s inevitable.」
「我可以清楚地看見未來。它即將土崩瓦解。擔心有什麼用呢？這是不可避免的。」
"You may not like what's happening, but just accept it, and let's try to live together. Even if you feel angry, let's be patient and endure, let's try to live together. I've realized that this is the only way forward.」
「你也許不喜歡正在發生的事，但請接受它，讓我們試著一起活下去。即使你覺得生氣，但還是要耐心和忍受，努力一起活下去。我意識到這是唯一的出路。」
ON AGING 關於老去
"Is someone different at age 18 or 60? I believe one stays the same.」
「一個人18歲或60歲又有什麼區別呢？我認為不管幾歲，一個人都不會變。」
