瑞典当地时间12月10日下午4点30分,一年一度的诺贝尔奖颁奖典礼在斯德哥尔摩市政厅如期举行,瑞典国王卡尔十六世·古斯塔夫为2016年诺贝奖获奖者们颁发了奖章和证书等。今年引起争议的诺贝尔文学奖得主鲍勃·迪伦没有出席颁奖典礼。

我很抱歉,我不能到现场与你们一起共享此刻,但是我很确定收到如此盛大荣誉使我内心倍感荣耀。被授予诺贝尔文学奖是我从来不敢想象或者能期待的事情,从很小的时候,我便已经熟悉和阅读那些被诺奖认可的伟大的文学作品:吉卜林、托马斯·曼、赛珍珠、加缪、海明威。其作品被陈列在学校教室、在世界各地的图书馆、在虔诚的读者印象中,而我现在加入了其中,这份喜悦让我无以言表。

如果有人告诉我,我有那么一丝希望获得诺奖,那我会认为这跟我能站在月球上的概率是差不多的。事实上,从我出生以后,几乎没有哪个获奖者是完全不受世人质疑的,我想我的获奖也会被归入到非常罕见的那部分。, R1 C* i& S; O

3 S6 A& y) Z) J当我在世界巡演过程中收到获奖信息时,我花了好一会儿去确认这个信息,我当时就想到了那位在文学史上拥有伟大形象的莎士比亚,我想他认为自己是一位剧作家,他认为他写的文字并非是进入文学,而是为戏剧舞台而生,是为了言说而不是阅读,当他在写《哈姆雷特》时候,他一定在想这些问题,“谁是适合演这个角色的演员?”“演出资金到位了吗?”“舞台现场足够容纳观众吗?”他的创作才华当然无可置疑,但他还是需要去关心这些问题,甚至在他脑海中最遥远的一个疑问是,“这是文学吗?”* K) W2 H5 g: n4 Y

当我十几岁大的时候开始写歌时,我开始对自己创作歌曲的能力有了一些认知,而对未来的期待也只是希望歌曲能够在咖啡厅或酒吧被人听到,最多是到卡内基音乐厅,如果让我梦想更大些,我希望我的音乐能被制作成唱片在电台播放,这真的是对我最大的褒奖了,拥有唱片在电台播放意味着我将接触到更庞大的听众群体,并且这将鼓励我一直按照自己的理想走下去。# s8 y/ g* G+ R/ K4 m1 T

但我要说,为50000人演奏和为50人演奏是完全不同的,50000人更像一个简单的角色,而50人却能呈现出不同的个性,他们能表达出更清晰的诉求,你必须付出自己最大的才能去征服他们,事实上,诺奖评委的数量比这还要少。) u- k1 m7 Q( Y3 o1 {9 k

然而,与莎士比亚一样,我常常被音乐创作和日常杂事占据了大部分时间精力,“谁是更适合唱这首歌的人?”“这个录音室更适合这张专辑吗?”“我唱的音准对吗?”400年过去了,有些事并没有变化。+ o; G. i2 n( e' [) }0 a, ^

I'm sorry I can't be with you in person, but please know that I am most definitely with you in spirit and honored to be receiving such a prestigious prize. Being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature is something I never could have imagined or seen coming. From an early age, I've been familiar with and reading and absorbing the works of those who were deemed worthy of such a distinction: Kipling, Shaw, Thomas Mann, Pearl Buck, Albert Camus, Hemingway. These giants of literature whose works are taught in the schoolroom, housed in libraries around the world and spoken of in reverent tones have always made a deep impression. That I now join the names on such a list is truly beyond words.6 Y, P1 t% y; j9 d) M3 o0 s
8 [3 m! _8 @6 Y. o( h% W5 p* C; n
& \% n9 [2 h8 `$ e9 r
I don't know if these men and women ever thought of the Nobel honor for themselves, but I suppose that anyone writing a book, or a poem, or a play anywhere in the world might harbor that secret dream deep down inside. It's probably buried so deep that they don't even know it's there.
* ?& W0 M$ [: ^5 P
# }+ ~! P) W$ \% B3 q& ^! q8 r7 X. S+ G3 i) s( L3 I+ N
If someone had ever told me that I had the slightest chance of winning the Nobel Prize, I would have to think that I'd have about the same odds as standing on the moon. In fact, during the year I was born and for a few years after, there wasn't anyone in the world who was considered good enough to win this Nobel Prize. So, I recognize that I am in very rare company, to say the least.

* a6 _$ n- n! o( L# ?I was out on the road when I received this surprising news, and it took me more than a few minutes to properly process it. I began to think about William Shakespeare, the great literary figure. I would reckon he thought of himself as a dramatist. The thought that he was writing literature couldn't have entered his head. His words were written for the stage. Meant to be spoken not read. When he was writing Hamlet, I'm sure he was thinking about a lot of different things: "Who're the right actors for these roles?" "How should this be staged?" "Do I really want to set this in Denmark?" His creative vision and ambitions were no doubt at the forefront of his mind, but there were also more mundane matters to consider and deal with. "Is the financing in place?" "Are there enough good seats for my patrons?" "Where am I going to get a human skull?" I would bet that the farthest thing from Shakespeare's mind was the question "Is this literature?”

1 l, x& |9 }2 DWhen I started writing songs as a teenager, and even as I started to achieve some renown for my abilities, my aspirations for these songs only went so far. I thought they could be heard in coffee houses or bars, maybe later in places like Carnegie Hall, the London Palladium. If I was really dreaming big, maybe I could imagine getting to make a record and then hearing my songs on the radio. That was really the big prize in my mind. Making records and hearing your songs on the radio meant that you were reaching a big audience and that you might get to keep doing what you had set out to do.

Well, I've been doing what I set out to do for a long time, now. I've made dozens of records and played thousands of concerts all around the world. But it's my songs that are at the vital center of almost everything I do. They seemed to have found a place in the lives of many people throughout many different cultures and I'm grateful for that.0 g5 Q2 O2 R) t

As a performer I've played for 50,000 people and I've played for 50 people and I can tell you that it is harder to play for 50 people. 50,000 people have a singular persona, not so with 50. Each person has an individual, separate identity, a world unto themselves. They can perceive things more clearly. Your honesty and how it relates to the depth of your talent is tried. The fact that the Nobel committee is so small is not lost on me.- W' A4 \' T+ N9 A' ]' B& P

But, like Shakespeare, I too am often occupied with the pursuit of my creative endeavors and dealing with all aspects of life's mundane matters. "Who are the best musicians for these songs?" "Am I recording in the right studio?" "Is this song in the right key?" Some things never change, even in 400 years.( `) G+ Y6 d' Q+ B0 ?: c( _  Y
