忽然爆火的諾貝爾文學獎歌手
Bob Dylan has been awarded the 2016 NobelPrize in Literature for what the Swedish Academy said was the 75-year-oldsongwriter’s role in creating new poetic expressions within the great Americansong tradition.
鮑勃•迪倫(Bob Dylan)被授予2016年諾貝爾文學獎。瑞典文學院(Swedish Academy)稱，這是爲了表彰這位75歲的歌曲作者在美國歌曲的偉大傳統中開創了新的詩性表達。
He is probably the greatest living poet,Swedish Academy member Per Wästberg said.
他很可能是最偉大的在世詩人，瑞典文學院成員派爾•威斯特拜瑞(PerWästberg)表示。
Nobel committee permanent secretary SaraDanius recalled Homer and Sappho, classical Greek writers who were also meantto be performed, often with instruments —it’s the sameway with Bob Dylan.
諾貝爾委員會常任祕書長薩拉•丹紐爾(Sara Danius)回憶道，古希臘作家荷馬(Homer)和薩波(Sappho)的作品也是爲表演而創作的，往往要用樂器演奏，鮑勃•迪倫也是一樣。
He is a wonderful sampler, a very originalsampler.
他是一個神奇的採樣器，一個非常具有原創性的採樣器。
He embodies the tradition.
他體現了傳統。
For 54 years now he’s been atit, reinventing himself constantly, creating a new identity, she said.
54年來，他不斷努力，不斷重塑自己，創建一種新的個性，她表示。
She cited the 1966 album ‘Blonde onBlonde’with its brilliant way of rhyming, and his pictorial thinking.
她提到了1966年的專輯《金髮美女》(Blonde on Blonde)，稱其展示了高超的押韻手法，以及他的形象思維。
Dylan was born Robert Allen Zimmerman in1941 and began his musical career playing in coffee houses in Minnesota.
迪倫出生於1941年，本名是羅伯特•艾倫•齊默爾曼(Robert Allen Zimmerman)，他的音樂生涯始於在美國明尼蘇達州的咖啡館彈唱。
Much of his best-known work dates from the1960s, when he became an informal historian for the anti-Vietnam War andAmerica’s civil rights movements with songs like Blowin’in the Windand The Times They are A-Changin’.
他最知名的作品有很大一部分作於20世紀60年代，當時他成爲美國民權運動和反越南戰爭的非正式歷史學家，代表作包括歌曲《答案在風中飄蕩》(Blowin' in the Wind)和《變革時代》(The Times They are A-Changin)。
His move away from traditional folk to playelectric music alienated some fans —one famouslyshouting out judas during a concert in Manchester in 1966.
他從傳統民謠轉向電子音樂的做法疏遠了一些粉絲，最有名的是，1966年一個粉絲在曼徹斯特一場音樂會上喊出judas（叛徒猶大）。
One of his most biting early songs was It’s Alright,Ma (I’m Only Bleeding) from 1965:
他最辛辣的早期歌曲之一是1965年的《沒事，媽（我只是在流血）》(It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding))，歌中唱道：
As human gods aim for their mark/ Makeeverything from toy guns that spark/ To flesh-coloured Christs that glow in thedark/ Easy to see without looking too far/That not much is really sacred.
隨着人類的神瞄準他們的靶子/ 創造萬物，從迸射火花的玩具槍/ 到黑暗中發光的肉色基督/ 不用看太遠就能看到/ 沒有多少東西是真正神聖的。
Dylan endlessly reinvented himself, both inhis music and his singing styles.
迪倫不斷地重塑自己，無論是對他的音樂和他的演唱風格都是如此。
His many albums include ‘Highway 61Revisited’in 1965, ‘New Morning’, where he experimented with country style and ‘Blood on theTracks’in 1975.
他的衆多專輯包括1965年的《重回61號高速公路》(Highway 61 Revisited)、1970年的《新晨》（New Morning，他在其中嘗試了鄉村風格），以及1975年的《血淚交織》(Blood on the Tracks)。
Since the late 1980s he has been touringalmost without interruption, what was dubbed the Never-Ending Tour.
20世紀80年代後期以後，他投入幾乎不間斷的巡迴演出，被稱爲永不結束的巡迴表演。
Dylan had long been tipped as a potentialNobel recipient, but few experts expected the academy to extend the prestigiousaward to a genre such as folk rock music.
迪倫長期被視爲一個潛在的諾貝爾獎得主，但很少有專家預期瑞典學院會將這一久負盛名的獎項頒發給民謠搖滾樂這一流派。
His songs have been endlessly analysed byacademics, with Professor Christopher Ricks, a former Oxford professor ofpoetry championing the songster with his book Dylan’s Visions ofSin.
學者們曾經深入分析迪倫的歌曲，原牛津大學詩歌教授克里斯托弗•裏克斯(Christopher Ricks)在他的《迪倫的原罪觀》(Dylan’s Visions of Sin)一書中讚美了這位歌手。
The literature award was the last of thisyear’s Nobel Prizes to be announced.
文學獎是今年最後宣佈的諾貝爾獎。
The six awards will be handed out onDecember 10, the anniversary of prize founder Alfred Nobel’s death in1896.
六個獎項的正式頒獎典禮將於12月10日舉行，這是該獎創始人阿爾弗雷德•諾貝爾(Alfred Nobel)在1896年逝世的週年紀念日。
Since its inception, the committee hasrarely strayed outside the world of literature in awarding the prize.
自設立以來，諾貝爾文學獎很少被授予文學界以外的人士。
Perhaps the most surprising choice beforeDylan was the 1953 choice of Sir Winston Churchill for his work in the field ofhistory. The citation said the award was for hismastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliantoratory in defending exalted human values.
在迪倫之前，也許最令人意外的是1953年溫斯頓•丘吉爾爵士(Sir Winston Churchill)因其在歷史領域的著作獲獎，以表彰他對歷史和傳記描述的精通，以及捍衛崇高的人類價值觀的雄辯。
Three years before that the Britishphilosopher, Bertrand Russell, won in recognition of his varied and significantwritings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought.
在邱吉爾得獎的三年前，英國哲學家伯特蘭•羅素(Bertrand Russell)獲得諾貝爾文學獎，以表彰他推崇人道主義理想和思想自由的各種重要著述。
Dylan is the first US citizen to win theprize since author Toni Morrison in 1993.
迪倫是自1993年作家託尼•莫里森(Toni Morrison)獲得諾貝爾文學獎以來首位獲此殊榮的美國公民。
