2016年诺贝尔奖颁奖仪式10日在瑞典首都斯德哥尔摩(Stockholm, Sweden)举行。 令人遗憾的是,万众期待的文学奖得主鲍勃•迪伦上台领奖发表感言的画面并没有出现。 虽然缺席典礼,但他亲笔写了一篇演讲稿,由美国驻瑞典大使(US ambassador to Sweden)代为朗读。 今年10月,瑞典皇家学院宣布鲍勃•迪伦获得诺贝尔文学奖,引来一片喝彩声和质疑声,很多人都问: "Is Bob Dylan literature?" “鲍勃•迪伦写的东西算文学吗?” 在获奖感言中,冷静的迪伦直面了这个质疑,以同样为舞台写作(writing for the stage)的莎士比亚为例,做了类比: When he was writing Hamlet, I’m sure he was thinking about a lot of different things: ‘Who’re the right actors for these roles? How should this be staged? Do I really want to set this in Denmark?’ ... I would bet that the farthest thing from Shakespeare’s mind was the question: ‘Is this literature?’ 当他在写《哈姆雷特》时候,他一定在想这些问题,“谁适合演这些角色?”“这段要怎么在舞台上展现出来?”“故事背景真的应该设在丹麦吗?”……我打赌莎士比亚最不可能思考的问题就是:“这是文学吗?” 鲍勃•迪伦获奖感言全文,来感受一下。 Good evening, everyone. I extend my warmest greetings to the members of the Swedish Academy and to all of the other distinguished guests in attendance tonight. |
