2月16日,米菲兔的创造者、荷兰著名作家兼画家迪克•布鲁纳(Dick Bruna)在荷兰乌得勒支市去世,享年89岁。布鲁纳在长达60年的职业生涯中总共为米菲兔创作了124幅插图。米菲兔的图书已被翻译成50多种语言,在世界各地销售了8500万册。

Dick Bruna, the beloved author best known as the creator of Miffy, has died aged 89. The Dutch illustrator and writer died on Thursday, his publisher Mercis said in a statement, and leaves behind more than 120 books which sold over 85 million copies.

广受喜爱的荷兰插画家兼作家迪克•布鲁纳去世了,享年89岁,他以米菲兔创造者的身份而被人们熟知。迪克•布鲁纳的出版公司Mercis在一份声明中称,布鲁纳于2月16日去世,他的遗作达120多部,销量超过8500万本。

Bruna was born into a family of publishers in Utrecht. According to the Guardian, he created more than 100 posters and around 2,000 book jackets for his family's company.

布鲁纳生于乌得勒支的一个出版家族。据《卫报》报道,他为家族公司设计了100多张海报和约2000本书封。

His first Miffy books, which were inspired by a story he told his own son, were published in 1955 with Miffy going under the name Nijintje.

布鲁纳的首部米菲兔作品灵感来自于他讲给儿子的一个故事,于1955年出版,米菲兔的名字当时叫做Nijintje。

The character would go onto become a "merchandising juggernaut"; one that featured on stationery, children's toys, clothes and other merchandise sold around the world.

拥有米菲形象的文具、儿童玩具、服饰以及其他商品在全世界销售,它将创造一个“衍生品神话”。

Mercis spokesperson Marja Kerkhof said: "He was very much loved around the world. I remember travelling with him to Australia, to New Zealand, to Asia, to Japan. Wherever he would go people would queue up for signing sessions of his books."

Mercis的发言人Marja Kerkhof称:“布鲁纳在全世界深受喜爱。还记得我和他一起去澳大利亚、新西兰、亚洲、日本旅行的时候,不论布鲁纳走到哪里,都有人排着队找他在他的书上签名。”

Of the success of his illustrations she said: "It is very clear pictures, almost like a pictogram, and the fact that he leaves so much out - he goes to the essence of things - and of course his very strong, powerful primary colours.

对于其插画作品取得的成功,Kerkhof表示:“这些图片非常简洁明了,和象形文字差不多。事实上,他将很多地方都省略了,他表现的是事物的本质,当然他选择的基色也非常浓烈、有感染力。”

"Even today if you see it in a store, you would think: 'Hey, this looks different to a lot of other things out there.' There is no clutter, it's all very clear."

“即便是今天,如果你在商店里看到他的作品也会认为:‘嘿,它看起来与众不同’。他的作品明白易懂,并不混乱。”

Bruna was loved most of all in his birthplace, Utrecht where, as one fan pointed out, there is even a traffic light shaped like Miffy in Bruna's honour.

布鲁纳在他的故乡乌得勒支最受爱戴,一位粉丝称,为了纪念布鲁纳,乌得勒支甚至有一个米菲兔形状的交通灯。

A museum in Utrecht dedicated to Miffy tweeted the news of his death with a picture of Bruna's beloved character: arms behind her back, and a single tear below her left eye.

乌得勒支的一间米菲兔博物馆在推特上发布了他的死讯,配图是布鲁纳深受喜爱的米菲兔角色:她的手背在后面,一滴眼泪从她的左眼滑落。
