His work is universally praised and respected by all manner of film and anime fans around the world.

他的作品廣泛地受到全世界各類型電影和動畫迷的讚賞和景仰。

The sheer creative energy flowing from every frame of a Miyazaki film is immediately noticeable by the youngest child to the oldest adult.

宮崎駿每部動畫中所呈現出的創意能量，不論大人到小孩的都能被馬上吸引。

It's very easy to be drawn into the magical worlds and epic plotlines that make up Miyazaki's universe.

我們很容易就會沉浸到魔法世界以及磅礡的故事情節。

I think most people who are familiar with the source material would agree that there is a certain unique charm shared by each of his works, that while radically different in setting, theme, and character, all maintain a consistent, undeniable almost spiritual feel.

我想大部分熟悉這些元素的人都能了解他的每一部動畫都有著獨特的魅力，就算動畫的設定、主題和角色完全不一樣，總會保有一種不可否定近乎精神層面上的堅持。

A master storyteller, knowing exactly what strings to pull and when, his films never fail to elicit an emotional response from the audience, and as a result, his work has permeated international culture so much that even if you aren't aware of his name, you've likely been exposed to his movies at some point.

一位懂得適時創造出情節高潮的說故事專家，他的動畫永遠都能牽引觀眾的情感，因此他的作品總是能跨文化，就算不知道是宮崎駿是誰，你可能還是在某些時候看過他的動畫。

So, today we'll be looking at Miyazaki's films as I tribute this visionary director and talk about my favorites.

所以今天我們看宮崎駿的動畫，我會感謝這位大膽幻想的導演，並且聊聊我喜愛的動畫。

Keep in mind this list is based purely on my opinion and we are looking at feature-length films written and directed by the man himself, so short films and other Studio Ghibli productions won't be making this list.

記得這個清單純粹是我的觀點，而且是針對宮崎駿原創和監督的長片，所以短片以及其它吉卜力的動畫不會在這個清單裡。

So with that in mind, all aboard the cat bus as we ride into my top 10 Miyazaki films.

秉持著這個原則，搭上貓巴士來看看我的前十名宮崎駿動畫吧。

Honorable mention: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

榮譽獎: 風之谷

This pre-Ghibli film follows the story of Nausicaa, a princess of a small village in a post-apocalyptic world full of giant insects and poisonous spores as she struggles to understand the nature of the toxic forest that surrounds them while facing conflict from other humans.

這部前吉卜力動畫敘述一個小村莊的公主娜烏西卡，身在充滿著巨大蟲類和有毒孢子的末日世界，在面對其它人類的鬥爭矛盾之時，她試圖去了解他們周圍有毒森林的自然法則。

This one teeters on the more serious side of Miyazaki's universe and serves as a great example of his early work and the beginnings of his signature style.

這部是宮崎駿動畫中比較嚴肅的一部，而且是他早期作品以及風格定位的代表。

Number 10: Laputa: Castle in the Sky

第十名：天空之城

A boy named Patzu discovers a girl falling from the sky, the girl named Sheeta is being pursued by the government, army and sky pirates because she is in possession of a magic crystal that is key to controlling an ancient floating castle.

一位名叫巴魯的男孩發現從天而降的少女，這位叫做希達的女孩被政府、軍隊和空中海賊追捕。因為她擁有魔法水晶(飛行石)，也就是可以控制古老的天空之城的鑰匙。

The highlight of the entire film is the pirates den mother Dola, whose journey goes from that of a ruthless pirate leader and develops into a lovable and sympathetic character.

整部動畫的亮點就是這趟搶奪飛行石的旅程中，空賊的老大朵拉從殘忍的海盜領袖，轉變成一個可愛又有同情心的角色。

Number 9: Ponyo

第九名：崖上的波妞

Uh, whatever this is....goldfish? named ponyo is separated from her family and is adopted by a young boy named Saoske whom she falls in love with.

呃無論這是什麼...名叫波妞的金魚? 她與家人分離了，被一個名叫忠介的小男孩收養，並愛上了他。

When Ponyo's parents get involved, the small mountain town is devastated by a tsunami and the pair set out to find Saoske's missing mother.

波妞的父母介入他們的關係時，小山城被海嘯摧殘，而他們決定找到忠介失蹤的媽媽。

This is one of Miyazaki's most abstract works pushing the bounds of creativity in film through sheer imagination and amazingly detailed animation.

全然的想像力和驚人的畫面細節來表達動畫裡的創意，是宮崎駿作品裡最迷人的地方之一。

Number 8: Porco Rosso

第八名：紅豬

Marco is an ace pilot, bounty hunter, and womanizer. He is also an anthropomorphic pig.

波魯克是一個飛行好手、賞金獵人、好女色的人，也是一隻被魔法變成的豬。

Retired after fighting for the Italians in world war I, Porco makes a living by freelance bounty hunting and escorting.

在第一次世界大戰為義大利打完仗後，波魯克就退休了，成為受委託的賞金獵人和護衛以維持生計。

The film follows the rivalry between Porco and an american pilot over bragging rights, honor, and the hand of a beautiful woman, or two, or maybe more, we've established he's a pig right?

這個動畫的主軸描述波魯克和一位美國飛行員之間的競爭角力，他們吹噓自己的正義感、榮譽感和擁有一個、兩個或是更多的漂亮女人。我們都知道他是豬，對吧？

Jokes aside, the film stays true to its setting with Porco feeling very much like a film noir character from the 1920's or 30s.

撇開搞笑的情節，這部動畫中波魯克的設定與1920或30年的電影角色還蠻雷同的。

There are also some stunning air combat sequences that make this a feast for the eyes as well.

還有一些讓觀眾大飽眼福的驚人空戰畫面。

Number 7: Kiki's Delivery Service

第七名：魔女宅急便

As a tradition in her family, a young witch named Kiki leaves her home for a year.

依照家族的傳統，小魔女琪琪要離家一年。

Finding herself in the city, she makes a living by starting a delivery service.

為了在城市中尋找自我，她開始以宅配服務來維持生計。

Focusing on characters over plot, this is one of the most heartwarming films I've ever seen.

著重於角色的小故事，這大概是我看過最溫馨的動畫之一了。

The relationships with people that Kiki encounter feel very organic as are the situations she faces.

琪琪與人群的互動關係感覺非常自然，就像她面對的處境一樣。

This film tugs on your heartstrings in all the right places as Kiki goes through the emotional highs and lows that comes with her coming of age.

這部動畫可以讓你隨著琪琪年紀增長的情緒起伏，在適當的時機牽引你的心弦。

Number 6: Lupin 3: The Castle of Cagliostro

第六名：魯邦三世：卡里奧斯特羅之城

Before we had spiked from Cowboy Bebop, we had Lupin the third. Charismatic and aloof, he is a master thief.

在《星際牛仔》前，我們就有迷人又有點冷漠的魯邦三世，他是竊盜達人。

After knocking off a casino only to discover the loot is counterfeit, he and his partner decide to target the source of the forgery, which leads to an epic heist plot full of beautifully animated action sequences and wonderfully written characters.

洗劫賭場後才發現贓物是贗品，他和搭檔決定把目標放在偽鈔上，這也開啟了一場搶奪大戰，充滿華麗又活潑的連續動作以及被描寫得很精彩的角色。

Made in 1979, this is the first film on Miyazaki's filmography, and it holds up amazingly well.

這是製作於1979年、第一個宮崎駿的動畫電影，而這部片也很成功。

Number 5: My Neighbor Totoro

第五名：龍貓

A family move into a countryside home and soon learn the surrounding woods are haunted by a big, lovable, dopey looking magical creature named Totoro.

一個家庭搬家到鄉下住，然後發現周遭的森林有東西出沒，原來是一隻長得又呆又可愛的魔法生物-龍貓。

The daughters of the family befriend Totoro and some of the other local magical wildlife who watch over and protect the family.

這家的小女兒和看守保護他們的龍貓以及其他當地的魔法生物變成好朋友。

Clearly, on the more heartwarming side of Miyazaki's works, I would also suggest checking out the short 2010 sequel, Mei and the Kittenbus.

這是宮崎駿作品中溫馨的一部電影，同時我也推薦大家2010年出的小續集《梅與小貓巴士》 (吉卜力美術館裡獨家播放)。

Number 4: The Wind Rises

第四名：風起

Based loosely on the real-life story of Jiro Horikoshi, an aeronautical engineer in Japan during world war II, we follow his life and times as he strives to achieve his dreams.

劇情大約取自堀越二郎的生平故事，他是二戰時一名日本航空工程師，觀眾跟隨他的腳步看他達成夢想。

A slight departure from Miyazaki's normal style, minimizing the fantastic elements but retaining his signature focus on characters.

這和宮崎駿原本的風格有點不一樣，減少幻想的元素，但他對角色描繪的特點仍保留著。

This film feels more mature than any of his other works.

這部電影和他其他的作品比起來較成熟一點。

Number 3: Howl's Moving Castle

第三名：霍爾的移動城堡

A young girl named Sophie has a chance encounter with a powerful and charming wizard named Howl.

一個名叫蘇菲的小女孩，在因緣際會下認識了一位強大迷人的巫師霍爾。

Shortly afterward she is cursed to old age by a jealous witch and becomes entwined in Howl's life as war breaks out between local nations.

不久之後，一位嫉妒的女巫對她下了衰老的詛咒，她的人生因此與霍爾交織在一起，而一場國家間的戰爭也在此時爆發。

The highlight of the film for me is the Sophie character: While she has the appearance of an old lady, she still retains the mannerisms and vigor of a youth and adjusts to her curse very well.

這部片的亮點在於蘇菲這個角色，儘管她看起來是位老太太，她仍有年輕人的行為舉止和活力，也能很快適應她的詛咒。

She acts as a great analog for the viewer, slowly unraveling the mystery surrounding Howl and befriending the various characters that surround him.

她對於觀眾而言是很好的典範，慢慢揭開霍爾的秘密，並和他身邊不同的角色當朋友。

Number 2: Spirited Away

第二名：神隱少女

A family with a young daughter named Chihiro get lost while moving to their new home, instead ending up at what seems to be an abandoned theme park.

女兒荻野千尋和她的家人再搬到新家的途中迷路了，反而走進了一座看起來廢棄的遊樂園。

After some very poor decisions, the family is separated from their daughter who finds herself not alone in the park, but surrounded by many ghostly apparitions.

在做了一些不好的決定後，家人和女兒走散了，而後者發現自己不是隻身在樂園裡，而是被很多鬼影圍繞。

This is one of the most beautiful animated films ever made, as we follow Sen's journey into the spirit world full of unique and imaginative characters where anything can happen.

這是有史以來最美的動畫，觀眾跟隨她的腳步，進入充滿獨特創意角色的靈魂世界，在這裡凡事都有可能發生。

Number 1: Princess Mononoke

第一名：魔法公主

We follow a prince named Ashitaka, who after defeating a demon that is attacking his village, is cursed and will soon die.

主角是一位名叫阿席達卡的王子，他打敗了攻擊他村莊的惡魔後，受到詛咒，並且很快就會逝去。

He is then tasked to travel west to seek the source of the evil.

他後來決定到西方去，找尋邪惡的源頭。

This was my first Miyazaki film and still my favorite even today.

這是我看的第一步宮崎駿動畫，直到現在仍是我的最愛。

Miyazaki's charming characters, beautiful animation, and magical whimsey mixes very well with the gritty and violent action drama genre, delivering a roller-coaster of awe and amazement.

宮崎駿筆下迷人的角色、好看的動畫和魔法的想像，與逼真暴力的動作場景相輔相成，帶給觀眾高潮迭起的驚歎和驚奇。

So those are my favorite films by the visionary author, writer, director, and animator, Hayao Miyazaki, a man who has inspired and influenced countless people around the world, myself included.

這些是我最喜歡的宮崎駿電影，這位很有遠見的作家、導演和動畫家啟發與影響了世界上很多的人，包含我。

At the time of this video, Miyazaki is 74 years old, and has recently retired from film making after the release of The Wind Rises.

做這部影片時，宮崎駿已經74歲，並在最近風起上映後宣布從影界退休。

This has been the sixth time he's retired, so it's not out of the realm of possibility to perhaps see another Miyazaki film in the future, but I wouldn't hold my breath; however, his son, Goro Miyazaki seems set to continue the name's legacy with his first two films, Tales from Earthsea and From Up on Poppy Hill.

這是他第六次退休了，所以未來在看到宮崎駿電影也是有可能的，但我不會抱太大期望。但他的兒子宮崎吾朗似乎能延續父親的名聲，他拍了兩部電影，地海戰記和來自紅花坂。

The era of traditional animation has slowly been coming to an end for years. Technology advances and the old ways become obsolete. Hand-drawn animation is being phased out in favor of cheaper and quicker digital techniques.

傳統動畫的時代已經在這幾年慢慢的結束，科技進步使得之前的方法變得過時，手繪動畫因為便宜快速的數位科技而慢慢地被淘汰。

It's inevitable, but I feel these films serve as an example of how beautiful traditional hand-drawn animation can be, and that it's an art form worth preserving for future generations.

這是無可避免的趨勢，但我想這些動畫是很好的例子，告訴我們傳統手繪動畫可以有多壯麗，並證明這項藝術值得保存並傳承給後代。
