○  莫言在瑞典诺贝尔颁奖典礼上的英语演讲稿  ○

cient. When literature exists, perhaps we do not notice how important it is, but when it does not exist, our lives become coarsened and brutal. For this reason, I am proud of my profession, but also aware of its importance.

　　借此机会，我要向坚定地坚持自己信念的瑞典学院院士们表示崇高的敬意，我相信，除了文学，没有任何能够打动你们的理由。

　　I want to take this opportunity to express my admiration for the members of the Swedish Academy, who stick firmly to their own convictions. I am confident that you will not let yourselves be affected by anything other than literature.

　　我还要向翻译我作品的各国翻译家表示崇高的敬意，没有你们，世界文学这个概念就不能成立。你们的工作，是人类彼此了解、互相尊重的桥梁。当然，在这样的时刻，我不会忘记我的家人、朋友对我的支持和帮助，他们的智慧和友谊在我的作品里闪耀光芒。

　　I also want to express my respect for the translators from various countries who have translated my work. Without you, there would be no world literature. Your work is a bridge that helps people to understand and respect each other. Nor, at this moment, can I forget my family and friends, who have given me their support and help. Their wisdom and friendship shines through my work.

　　最后，我要特别地感谢我的故乡中国山东高密的父老乡亲，我过去是，现在是，将来也是你们中的一员;我还要特别地感谢那片生我养我的厚重大地，俗话说，“一方水土养一方人”，我便是这片水土养育出来的一个说书人，我的一切工作，都是为了报答你的恩情。

　　Finally, I wish to extend special thanks to my older relatives and compatriots at home in Gaomi, Shandong, China. I was, am and always will be one of you. I also thank the fertile soil that gave birth to me and nurtured me. It is often said that a person is shaped by the place where he grows up. I am a storyteller, who has found nourishment in your humid soil. Everything that I have done, I have done to thank you!

　　谢谢大家!

　　My sincere thanks to all of you!
