【The literature of 2012 Nobel winner Mo Yan】中國首位諾貝爾獎得主-莫言！
The 57-year-old contemporary Chinese writer, Mo Yan, has been dominating Chinese media headlines.
57歲的當代中國作家莫言已經占據了中國各大媒體的頭條。
His literary achievements make him a serious competitor for this year’s prize. He has been a popular figure in China’s literary scene since the mid-1980s.
他的文學成就使他成為今年諾貝爾文學獎的有力競爭選手。自20世紀80年代中期，莫言就在一直蜚聲中國文壇。
Most people would find it hard to associate the animalistic spirits in "Red Sorghum" with the mild-mannered and even timid looking Mo Yan.
大多數人都很難將《紅高粱》里的獸欲靈魂形象與這位溫和甚至有點羞澀的作家莫言聯系在一起。
Most of Mo Yan’s works are set in his own hometown, Gaomi County, in East China’s Shandong Province. Before the age of 20, he’d never ventured beyond the boundaries of his own county.
莫言大多數作品都是以他的家鄉中國山東省高密縣為背景，20歲以前他一直不敢冒險踏出自己的縣城。
Mo Yan was born in 1955, the fourth child in his family. In his early years, he experienced poverty, hunger and was repressed by a particularly harsh father. All of these things have influenced Mo Yan’s later writings.
莫言生于1955年，家中排行第四。早期經歷過貧困、饑餓，父親管教非常嚴厲，所有的這些都影響了莫言后期的作品。
When Mo Yan was 12 years old, he was forced to leave school and graze cattle. To satisfy his thirst for reading, Mo Yan read every single book he could get hold of, even the dictionary.
12歲的莫言被迫離開學校去放牧，為了滿足對閱讀的渴望，任何書只要他能得到都會去看，甚至是字典。
When he turned 20, he joined the army and got to see the world beyond his home village. Six years later in 1981, he started his writing career. In 1987, "The Red Sorgum" burst onto China’s literary scene.
20歲時莫言參軍了，見識到了家鄉以外的世界。六年過后，1981年開始他的寫作生涯。1987年，憑借作品《紅高粱》闖入中國文壇。
Mo Yan’s other major works include "The Republic of Wine", "Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out", "Sandalwood Death", "Big Breasts and Wide Hips" and more. Mo has won several top Chinese and international prizes including the Mao Dun Prize 2011 for "Frog".
莫言的其它作品主要包括《酒國》、《生死疲勞》、《檀香刑》、《豐乳肥臀》等，并已經獲得中國及國際頂級獎項，包括2011年憑借作品《蛙》摘得茅盾文學獎。
More than any other Chinese author, Mo Yan is well represented in foreign languages around the world. And with good reason - he’s one of the great novelistic masters of modern Chinese literature, with a long list of ambitious novels to his name. His writing is powerful, visual, and broad, dipping into history, fantasy and absurdity to tell stories of China and its people.
相比于中國其他任何作家，莫言的作品在世界各地都有很好的表現。憑借創造的大量有志小說，有充分的理由相信莫言是中國現代文學的一位泰斗。他的著作強大、可視而且廣泛，深度挖掘歷史，以幻想和荒謬的手法講述中國和人民的故事。
