2012年莫言荣获诺贝尔文学奖,多数学者认为翻译是其获奖的最重要的原因之一。本文将《酒国》之原作与葛浩文的译作进行对比,发现译文多采取音译和直译的方法,忠实地反映了原语文化。笔者认为莫言获奖是众望所归,翻译作为一个影响因素并不具有决定性。 Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in literature in 2012, and most scholars believe that translation is one of the most important reasons for winning the prize. This paper compares the original works of Wine Country with Ge Haowen’s translation and finds that the translation method adopts transliteration and literal translation more faithfully and reflects the primitive culture. I think Mo Yan winning is welcomed by all, translation as an influencing factor is not decisive.
