剛剛看到英文翻譯才注意到這篇8月底的報導

“I was born and raised in the city of Koumi in Nagano Prefecture, which is
situated on a plateau encircled by mountains,” he explained, when asked why
his works always seem to revolve around a nature theme. “In the 70s, it was
even more idyllic than it is now; my house was surrounded with nature. I was
engrossed in this environment. I’d stare up at the sky every day, lost in my
own little world. I’d say that I was more of an absent-minded child rather
than a romantic.”
一開始先問為什麼他的作品這麼注重自然，
他說因為從小就在鄉下長大，每天無聊就看天空。
Back then, Shinkai had no definite career path in mind, although he did enjoy
creating watercolor paintings since childhood. He did, however, object to his
father deciding his path for him. Since the Meiji era, his family operated a
construction business, but he didn’t want to take up the business just
because he was the oldest son. “Unlike [Weathering With You’s] Hodaka,
however, I didn’t have the guts to leave home. I fervently desired not to
leave my beautiful hometown behind, so I extended my moratorium period,
spinning my wheels.”
他父親希望他接家族事業 (從明治時期就做建設)，但他自己不喜歡因為是長男就要
繼承家業。不過不像帆高，他沒有勇氣逃家。
Eventually, Shinkai moved to Tokyo for university, and after graduation, he
was poised to study at a construction company in preparation for taking up
the family business. At the last minute, however, he decided to join a game
company instead, a choice which infuriated his father. Shinkai refused to
relent, and through his work he discovered the joy of matching pictures with
music. He decided to try his hand at creating his own story, which resulted
in the short film She and Her Cat, winner of the 2000 DoGA CG Animation
Contest. Emboldened by the film’s success, Shinkai quit his job and began
creating animation in earnest.
To this day, Shinkai still doesn’t know where he found the stubbornness to
oppose his father. “I kind of think that if my father had told me since I
was young to become a filmmaker, I wouldn’t have ended up where I am.
Perhaps I was simply rebelling on instinct.”
“But I am really grateful towards my parents,” Shinkai went on. “My mother
likes to draw herself, and she told me, ‘You should do what you love.’
Those words saved me. Eventually, even my father gave me a chance. He told
me to try out anime for five years and come back if it doesn’t work out.”
靠著考上東京的大學離開家
原本畢業後還是準備學建設回去接家族事業，但最後加入 falcom，
讓他父親不太開心。
不過他還是感謝父母，媽媽喜歡畫自畫像，並且鼓勵她追逐自己想要的。
他爸還是跟他說五年內沒做出成果，再回家接手家族事業。
而且如果小時候他爸叫他去當導演，搞不好會反骨不做這行。
Shinkai says that he wants Weathering With You to convey the importance of
having the freedom to decide one’s way of life. “I want children and
parents to watch it and be able to have a frank conversation about what they
thought of it. The great thing about entertainment is that, through shared
experience, it’s able to communicate to people across different generations
and worldviews.”
他希望天氣之子能讓人理解自由選擇人生的可貴
電影的一個優勢是能讓不同世代的人討論什麼選擇才是好的。
Shinkai claims that he didn’t feel much pressure to top your name.’s
success, but that it did change the way he now views his work. Until your
name., his films were mainly watched by anime fans, but the sheer size of his
audience now has made him reappraise the role of entertainment in reflecting
the society around it.
新海誠不覺得要做出超越你的名字的作品，會對他帶來壓力。
但是之前覺得只有動畫迷會看，你的名字後讓他重新思考如何在電影中反思社會。
The inspiration for Weathering With You came in the summer of 2016, when,
exhausted from all the promotion he was doing for your name., Shinkai looked
up at the sky and saw a cumulonimbus cloud. When the skies cleared, he felt
healed, which gave him the idea that the weather and the human spirit are
connected.
天氣之子的劇情來自於 '16 跑完宣傳行程，疲累的心靈看到天空積雨雲散開後療癒了。
因此有了天氣和心靈互相連結的想法。
“People say that humans are destroying nature for the sake of their own
conveniences, and I agree with that,” he said. “And yet I’m the kind of
person who doesn’t hesitate to turn on the air conditioning in my room when
it’s hot. Climate change is a large-scale phenomenon with an unimaginable
scope, but there’s not much a person can do about it on an individual level.
Even so, my actions as a single person have a definite effect on the
environment. It may feel like something that’s out of your realm of
responsibility, but it absolutely isn’t. I made the film while thinking
about how to deal with that problem through the framework of entertainment.”
他同意人類因為自己方便破壞自然，但是在房間很熱時，他自己也會毫不猶豫開冷氣。
雖然氣候變遷的規模大到一個人無法改變什麼，但個人的行為一定有影響。有些人
可能覺得這不是自己的責任。新海誠在製作天氣之子時，同時思考如何回答這種問題。
Shinkai also addressed some of the criticisms he received about your name.
Although he intended the film to have an empowering message that it is
possible to change the future, some viewers interpreted it as a story where
disaster is averted with no consequence. Shinkai deliberated on whether his
next film should address those criticisms, but eventually decided on a
direction that would “annoy your name.’s naysayers even more.”
你的名字中想傳達改變未來的可能性，但有些人解讀成災難可以不花任何代價就避免。
原本考慮這次作品要不要回應他們，最後還是決定加入更多批評的人會覺得煩躁的情節。
“In Weathering With You, Hodaka and Hina are at the mercy of fate, but they
decide how to live their own lives. I am sure that there are people who will
not be satisfied by the choice they make. But that’s fine. I think it’s my
role to start a conversation by creating a story without a correct answer. I
firmly believe that’s the greatest gift I received from your name.”
天氣之子的帆高和陽菜選擇為自己活下去。他知道會讓人不滿意，但從你的名字中，
他學到沒有正確答案的故事能帶來更多討論。
