时隔21年，宫崎骏凭借《你想活出怎样的人生》再获奥斯卡

Hayao Miyazaki, the legendary Japanese filmmaker whose anime classics have enchanted fans around the world for decades, has won his second career Oscar.
几十年来，宫崎骏的经典动漫作品令全世界影迷为之着迷，上周，这位日本传奇电影人赢得了他职业生涯中的第二个奥斯卡奖。

At 83, Miyazaki won for helming the best animated film, “The Boy and the Heron,” the long-awaited fantasy from the director of “Spirited Away,” “My Neighbor Totoro” and “Kiki’s Delivery Service.”

现年83岁的宫崎骏凭借《你想活出怎样的人生》（又译《苍鹭与少年》）获得了奥斯卡最佳动画长片奖，这是继《千与千寻》《龙猫》《魔女宅急便》另一部备受期待的作品。

It’s only the second hand-drawn animation winner in this category. The first, 21 years ago, was Miyazaki’s “Spirited Away”. Miyazaki began work on “The Boy and the Heron” not long after announcing in 2013 that he intended to retire from film — again.

这是宫崎骏继《千与千寻》(Spirited Away）获得奥斯卡最佳动画长片奖后，时隔21年第二次凭借手绘动画获得该奖项。他原本打算在完成2013年的作品《起风了》之后退休，结果后来又“技痒”复出。

“The Boy and the Heron” follows a boy named Mahito Maki who moves to the countryside after his mother’s death. There, he is lured by a mysterious heron into a secluded tower, a portal that transports him to a fantastical realm amid his grief.

《你想活出怎样的人生》讲述了少年牧真人在母亲去世后，随父亲搬到乡下生活。在那里，他跟随一只会说话的苍鹭闯入废弃的神秘塔楼，却不料进入了一个奇幻的世界，开始了一场不可思议的冒险……

When he received an honorary Oscar in 2014 celebrating his artistry and storytelling, he expressed gratitude for the art of drawing. “My wife tells me that I’m a very lucky man,” Miyazaki said in his acceptance speech through a translator. “And I think I’ve been lucky because I’ve been able to participate in the last era when we can make films with paper, pencil and film.”

2014年，宫崎骏获得了奥斯卡终身成就奖，以表彰他的艺术才华和讲故事的能力，他表达了对绘画艺术的感谢：“我的妻子告诉我，我是一个非常幸运的人。我认为我很幸运，是因为我能够参与到我们可以用纸、笔和胶片制作电影的最后一个时代。”

The film was a decade in the making. In the age of CGI and artificial intelligence, Miyazaki stuck to the lengthy process of hand-drawing his animations.

据悉，新电影《你想活出怎样的人生》花了七年时间制作，在CGI和人工智能的时代，宫崎骏一直坚持手绘动画。

What is ‘Hui Nan Tian’？

南方人的噩梦“回南天”英文怎么说？

Recently, the "hui nan tian" phenomenon, or continued humid weather in southern China, has been trending on Weibo. The walls become damp, furniture exudes water droplets, and clothes refuse to dry, creating a feeling that you can wring water out of the air.

最近，“回南天”相关话题率登微博热搜。这是南方地区一种持续性潮湿的天气。墙壁潮湿、家具冒水珠、衣服不干，让人有一种“空气中都能拧出水来”的感觉。

"Hui nan tian" is a meteorological phenomenon caused by the combination of cold and warm air currents, bringing unbearable humidity and moisture between late spring and early summer. The phenomenon typically occurs during February and March, marking the resurgence of humidity in the spring.

回南天通常出现在2月到3月期间，标志着春季湿度的回升，是由于强盛的西南暖湿气流引起的气温回暖、温度回升、进而使墙壁地面甚至物品表面出现水汽的温暖返潮的天气现象。

"Hui nan tian" can be translated into “continuous humid weather”. Typically, the formation of "hui nan tian" requires two conditions: First, prolonged low temperatures, with the daily average temperature below 12°C, lasting for at least three consecutive days; second, warm and moist air currents encountering cold objects, causing water droplets to form on the surface.

综合以上描述，“回南天”我们可以翻译为“continuous humid weather”。一般来说，“回南天”的形成需要两个条件：1、有长时间的低温，日平均气温低于12℃，至少要持续3天以上。2、暖湿气流遇到冰冷物体，物体表面容易产生水珠。
