South Korean author Han Kang has been awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature, the Swedish Academy announced on Thursday.
瑞典文学院周四宣布,韩国作家韩江被授予2024年诺贝尔文学奖。
The announcement made Han the first South Korean writer to win this prestigious honor. The academy praised her "for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life."
这使他成为首位获得这一殊荣的韩国作家。学院称赞她“她以充满诗意的、散文式的笔触直面历史创伤,揭示人类生命的脆弱。”
"I was able to talk to Han Kang on the phone," said Swedish Academy permanent secretary Mats Malm after announcing the winner. "She was having an ordinary day it seemed – had just finished supper with her son. She wasn't really prepared for this, but we have begun to discuss preparations for December."
瑞典文学院常任秘书马茨·马尔姆在宣布获奖者后表示:“我和韩江通了电话。”“她似乎过着平常的一天——刚刚和儿子吃完晚饭。她并没有为此做好准备,但我们已经开始讨论12月的准备工作。”
"I'm so surprised and absolutely I'm honoured," Han said, in a phone interview shared by the Swedish Academy. "I grew up with Korean literature, which I feel very close to. So I hope this news is nice for Korean literature readers, and my friends and writers."
“我非常惊讶,也绝对感到荣耀。”韩在接受瑞典学院的电话采访时说。“我是在韩国文学的陪伴下长大的,感觉与它非常亲近。我希望这对韩国读者和我的朋友来说都是好消息。”
Anders Olsson, chair of the Nobel Committee for Literature, commended Han's "physical empathy for the vulnerable, often female lives" of her characters.
诺贝尔文学奖委员会主席安德斯·奥尔森(Anders Olsson)称赞了韩寒笔下人物“对弱势群体(通常是女性)的身体同情”。
"She has a unique awareness of the connections between body and soul, the living and the dead, and in a poetic and experimental style, has become an innovator in contemporary prose," Olsson said.
诺贝尔委员会主席安德斯·奥尔松说,韩江对肉体与灵魂、生与死之间的联系有着独特的认识,并以诗意和实验性风格成为当代散文的创新者。
Her novel The Vegetarian, which won the 2016 International Booker Prize, remains her most internationally recognized work.
她的小说《素食者》获得了2016年国际布克奖,至今仍是她最受国际认可的作品。
