1949年诺贝尔文学奖得主威廉·福克纳(1897—1962)在颁奖典礼上发表的著名演说中预言:人类将在处于自我毁灭边缘的世界里继续生存下去。此言犹如金石掷地,深得全球有识之士赞赏。其实演说家的精辟言论既道出了世界的现状也凝聚了他个人生活中的甜酸苦辣,尤其是他在好莱坞的那段“为五斗米折腰”的经历。 In his famous speech at the awards ceremony, Nobel Prize winner William Faulkner (1897-1962), in 1949, predicted that mankind will continue to survive in a world that is on the verge of self-destruction. This remark is like throwing stones, won the appreciation of people of insight around the world. Actually, the brilliant speech of the orator not only shows the status quo in the world, but also embodies the ups and downs in his personal life, especially his Hollywood experience of “turning his head on five dices.”
