第2495期:Norwegian author and playwright wins Nobel Literature Prize

Jon Fosse began writing stories as a child. His breakthrough novel, Boathouse, was published in 1989. Having established himself as a novelist, poet and children's author, he then turned his attention to writing plays.约恩·福瑟从童年时就开始编写故事。他在1989年发表的小说《船屋》令他崭露头角。在以小说家、诗人及儿童文学作家的身份站稳脚跟后，他将注意力转移到戏剧剧本创作。His sparse, Pinteresque style brought him to international attention, though commercial success has eluded him in the UK. Jon Fosse was nominated for the Booker Prize, won the Ibsen Prize, and was awarded the French Order of Merit in 2007. He said he's overwhelmed and somewhat frightened at becoming a Nobel laureate.他的剧作中人物对话简短，颇有英国著名剧作家哈罗德·品特的风范，这令他受到了国际关注，尽管他的作品在英国并未取得商业上的成功。约恩·福瑟曾获得布克文学奖提名、获得过易卜生戏剧奖、并在2007年被授予法国国家功绩勋章。他说他对于自己成为诺贝尔奖获得者一事备感激动，同时也有些受宠若惊。His latest book, Septology, a semi-autobiographical magnum opus, is in seven parts spread across three volumes. It runs to 1,250 pages without a single full stop.他的最新作品《七部曲》是一部半自传体巨著，分为七个部分，共三卷。这部作品长达1250页，其中没有一个句号。词汇表breakthrough 有重大进展的，突破性的novelist 小说家sparse 稀少的，零星的Pinteresque 与剧作家哈罗德·品特相似的，有品特作品风范的commercial success 商业上的成功，作品畅销、卖座eluded 未能达到，与（某人）无缘Booker Prize 布克文学奖Nobel laureate 诺贝尔奖获得者semi-autobiographical 半自传体的magnum opus （作家或艺术家的）最重要的作品，代表作volumes （文学作品的）册，卷full stop 句号
