10月13日晚7时
备受瞩目的2016年诺贝尔文学奖终于揭晓
当大家都以为这次总该轮到村上春树的时候
万万没想到剧情骤变
竟让美国的摇滚/民谣歌手Bob Dylan节了糊
估计村上先生心里一定在呐喊：
Bob Dylan（鲍勃·迪伦）的获奖词为："for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition".（在伟大的美国歌曲传统中创造了新的诗歌表达）
诺贝尔奖官网公告
虽然鲍勃迪伦确实写过几部传记作品，但他本质上其实还是一位民谣歌手/摇滚歌手。区别于一般的演唱歌手，鲍勃的歌曲大多都是自己作词作曲，而且他都会在歌词中尝试向世人输出自己的价值观，表达了与世界进行对抗的意识。
比如这首更像是一首诗的
《a hard rain's a-gonna fall》：
噢，你去过哪里了，我那蓝眼睛的孩子?
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son ?
你去过哪里了，我那亲爱的孩子？
And where have you been my darling young one ?
我蹒跚爬过十二座雾锁的大山
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
我匍匐前行过六条翻滚的公路
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
我穿过悲伤森林的深处
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
摆在眼前的却是一打死亡之海
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
我已前行了万里，却仍身处墓园
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
那呼啸的、急骤的、暴烈的、凶猛的
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
大雨将至
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
你看到了什么，我那蓝眼睛的孩子？
Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son ?
你看到了什么，我那亲爱的孩子？
And what did you see, my darling young one ?
我看见一个新生婴儿的周遭饿狼环视
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
我看见一条钻石铺就的公路却无人踏上
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
我看见黑色的枝头上鲜血欲滴
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
我看见一屋子的人手持滴血的斧头
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
我看见一把白的梯子浸没在水中
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
我看见一万个有话要讲的人舌头皆被割去
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
我看见年轻的孩子手里攥着枪械和利剑
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
那呼啸的、急骤的、暴烈的、凶猛的
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
大雨将至
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
你听到了什么，我那蓝眼睛的孩子？
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son ?
你听到了什么，我那亲爱的孩子？
And what did you hear, my darling young one ?
我听见雷声轰鸣发出警告
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
我听见巨浪掀天似要吞噬整个世界
I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
我听见一百位双手痉挛的鼓手猛烈地敲击大鼓
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin'
我听见万人低语却无人去听
I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
我听见一个人忍饥挨饿，旁人对他狂笑
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
听到倒毙在臭水沟旁的诗人的歌
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
听到街角的小丑哭泣
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
那呼啸的、急骤的、暴烈的、凶猛的
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
大雨将至
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
你遇到了谁呢，我那蓝眼睛的孩子？
Oh, who did you meet my blue-eyed son ?

我遇到了一个白人在悠闲的遛狗
I met a white man who walked a black dog
我遇到了一个年轻的女人，她的身体在燃烧
I met a young woman whose body was burning
我遇到了一个小女孩，她给我一道彩虹
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
我遇到了一个在爱中受创的男人
I met one man who was wounded in love
我也遇到了另一个在恨中受创的男人
I met another man who was wounded in hatred
那呼啸的、急骤的、暴烈的、凶猛的
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
大雨将至
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
你将来要做什么，我那蓝眼睛的孩子？
And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son ?
你将来要做什么，我那亲爱的孩子？
And what'll you do now my darling young one ?
我将要在雨来之前离开
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
我将走进深深的黑暗森林的深处
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
那里会有许多人，他们两手空空
Where the people are a many and their hands are all empty
那里的水中全是毒药
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
那里的房子紧靠着肮脏潮湿的监狱
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
那里的刽子手总是隐藏在暗处
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
那里饥饿是丑陋的，那里灵魂被遗忘
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
那里黑是唯一的颜色，那里零是唯一的数字
Where black is the color, where none is the number
我要讲述、要思考、要琢磨、要呼吸
And I'll tell and think it and speak it and breathe it
我要在山巅讲述这些，以让所有的灵魂都看得到
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
然后我站在海面上直到开始下沉
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking
但我知道我的歌将会传唱
But I'll know my songs well before I start singin'
那呼啸的、急骤的、暴烈的、凶猛的
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
大雨将至
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
