“中国人为什么没得过诺贝尔文学奖?”这是时常听到的一句话。显然,这不是个简单问题。一言半语,恐怕回笞不了那么准确。本文,也不敢对偌大一件事妄发议论,只想作一个粗略的统计分析工作,以供研究者和关心者参考。此奖从本世纪初——1901年始颁,首届奖金15万瑞典克朗。其后,奖金数额逐年增加,至1980年,已达88万克朗,约合人民币23.5万元。1981年,更上升到100万克朗。 “Why did Chinese people never win the Nobel Prize in Literature?” This is what we often hear. Obviously, this is not a simple question. A word, I am afraid I can not return so accurate. This article also did not dare to argue about one big thing, just want to make a rough statistical analysis for researchers and carers reference. This award from the beginning of this century - 1901 was awarded the first prize of 150,000 Swedish kronor. Since then, the bonus amount increased year by year, to 1980, has reached 880000 kronor, about 235000 yuan. In 1981, it even rose to 1 million kronor.
