【The literature of 2012 Nobel winner Mo Yan】中国首位诺贝尔奖得主-莫言！
The 57-year-old contemporary Chinese writer, Mo Yan, has been dominating Chinese media headlines.
57岁的当代中国作家莫言已经占据了中国各大媒体的头条。
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.
他的文学成就使他成为今年诺贝尔文学奖的有力竞争选手。自20世纪80年代中期，莫言就在一直蜚声中国文坛。
Most people would find it hard to associate the animalistic spirits in "Red Sorghum" with the mild-mannered and even timid looking Mo Yan.
大多数人都很难将《红高粱》里的兽欲灵魂形象与这位温和甚至有点羞涩的作家莫言联系在一起。
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.
莫言大多数作品都是以他的家乡中国山东省高密县为背景，20岁以前他一直不敢冒险踏出自己的县城。
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。早期经历过贫困、饥饿，父亲管教非常严厉，所有的这些都影响了莫言后期的作品。
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岁的莫言被迫离开学校去放牧，为了满足对阅读的渴望，任何书只要他能得到都会去看，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岁时莫言参军了，见识到了家乡以外的世界。六年过后，1981年开始他的写作生涯。1987年，凭借作品《红高粱》闯入中国文坛。
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《酒国》、《生死疲劳》、《檀香刑》、《丰乳肥臀》等，并已经获得中国及国际顶级奖项，包括2011年凭借作品《蛙》摘得茅盾文学奖。
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.
相比于中国其他任何作家，莫言的作品在世界各地都有很好的表现。凭借创造的大量有志小说，有充分的理由相信莫言是中国现代文学的一位泰斗。他的著作强大、可视而且广泛，深度挖掘历史，以幻想和荒谬的手法讲述中国和人民的故事。
