莫言摘得諾貝爾文學獎,中國文學揚眉吐氣大綱
CHINESE author Mo Yan today won the Nobel Literature Prize for writing that mixes folk tales, history and the contemporary, the Swedish Academy announced.
瑞典文學院宣佈：中國作家莫言因爲其融合了民間傳說、歷史和當代社會的寫作，今天獲得諾貝爾文學獎。
"Through a mixture of fantasy and reality, historical and social perspectives, Mo Yan has created a world reminiscent in its complexity of those in the writings of William Faulkner and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, at the same time finding a departure point in old Chinese literature and in oral tradition," the Swedish Academy said.
“從歷史和社會的視角，莫言用現實和夢幻的融合在作品中創造了一個令人聯想的感觀世界。”瑞典皇家科學院說。
Yan, whose real name is Guan Moye and was born in 1955, "with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary," the jury said.
莫言原名管謨業，出生於1955年，“魔幻現實主義融合了民間故事、歷史與當代社會，”陪審團說。
Mo Yan has published novels, short stories and essays on various topics, and despite his social criticism is seen in his homeland as one of the foremost contemporary authors, the Nobel committee noted.
莫言已出版各種主題的長篇小說、短篇小說和散文，儘管作爲當代最重要的作家之一，他的社會批判顯露在其尋根文學中，諾貝爾委員會指出。
In his writing Mo Yan draws on his youthful experiences and on settings in the province of his birth.
莫言在他的著作中借鑑了他年輕時候的經歷，同時場景也設在他出生的省份。
Last year, the literature prize went to Swedish poet Tomas Transtroemer.
去年，文學獎被授予瑞典詩人托馬斯•特蘭斯特勒默。
The literature prize is the fourth and one of the most watched announcements this Nobel season, following the prizes for medicine, physics and chemistry earlier this week.

The Nobel Peace Prize will be announced tomorrow, with the field of possible winners wide open, followed by the Economics Prize on Monday, wrapping up the Nobel season.

As tradition dictates, the laureates will receive their prizes at formal ceremonies in Stockholm and Oslo on December 10, the anniversary of the death of prize creator Alfred Nobel in 1896.
由於傳統規定，12月10日獲獎者將在斯德哥爾摩和奧斯陸的正式儀式上獲得獎金，即創始人阿爾弗雷德•諾貝爾1896年逝世的周年紀念日。
Because of the economic crisis, the Nobel Foundation has slashed the prize sum to eight million Swedish kronor (US$1.2 million) per award, down from the 10 million kronor awarded since 2001.
由於經濟危機，諾貝爾基金會已經削減了獎金總額，自2001年以來頒發的1000萬瑞典克朗減爲每個獎800萬瑞典克朗（約合120萬美元）。
