去年10月,瑞典文学院将2016年诺贝尔文学奖颁给鲍勃-迪伦,但在此后的一段时间内,瑞典文学院一度无法联系到他本人。根据颁奖规定,鲍勃-迪伦必须在今年6月10日前发表获奖感言才能领取奖金。
诺贝尔文学奖评奖机构瑞典文学院5日在其官方网站宣布,美国歌手鲍勃-迪伦终于向瑞典学院提交了诺贝尔文学奖获奖致辞,有资格领取800万瑞典克朗的奖金。他的演说音频已由诺贝尔官方发布在社交媒体上。
下面一起来看看:
Good evening, everyone. I extendmy warmest greetings to the members of the Swedish Academy and to all of the other distinguished guests in attendance tonight.
各位晚上好。我向瑞典学院的成员和今晚所有出席宴会的尊贵来宾致以最热烈的问候。
I‘m sorry I can’t be with you in person, but please know that I am most definitely with you in spirit and honored to be receiving such a prestigious prize. Being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature is something I never could have imagined or seen coming.From an early age, I‘ve been familiar with and reading and absorbing the works of those who were deemed worthy of such a distinction: Kipling, Shaw, Thomas Mann, Pearl Buck, Albert Camus, Hemingway. These giants of literature whose works are taught in the schoolroom, housed in libraries around the world and spoken of in reverent tones have always made a deep impression. That I now join the names on such a list is truly beyond words.
抱歉我不能亲自与你们共度此刻,但请确信我绝对是在精神上与你们同在,我也为获得这样一个享有盛誉的奖项而感到荣耀。被授予诺贝尔文学奖是我未曾想到或者预见到的事情。从年少时起,我就熟知、阅读并吸收被认为有资格获得这份殊荣的那些人的作品,比如吉卜林、萧伯纳、托马斯·曼、赛珍珠、阿尔贝·加缪、海明威。这些文学巨匠一直给我留下了深刻的印象,他们的著作是课堂上的教材、世界各地图书馆的藏书、人们带着恭敬语气谈论的话题。如今我的名字也出现在这样一份名单上,我的心情无以言表。
