His songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind," "Masters of War," and "Like a Rolling Stone" captured a spirit of rebellion, dissent and independence. 在很多人心中,鲍勃·迪伦是一个传奇的存在,被赋予的标签很多:20世纪美国最伟大的文化符号、民谣摇滚教父、音乐界传奇。他一生写作了900多页歌词,其文学性可媲美诗人。 "Dylan has the status of an icon. His influence on contemporary music is profound," the Swedish Academy said on Thursday, when it awarded the 8 million Swedish crown ($930,000) prize.

For having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition. 获奖理由:在伟大的美国歌曲传统中创造了新的诗意表达。 不同于以往的文学奖得主,鲍勃·迪伦被人熟知的身份是歌手,获奖的作品是他创作的歌词,因此势必会引发不少的争议和讨论。 对此瑞典科学院常任干事(the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy)Sara Danis表示, Of course he deserves it – he’s got it. He’s a great poet – a great poet in the English-speaking tradition. For 54 years he’s been at it, reinventing himself constantly, creating a new identity. 他实至名归,他得奖了。他是个伟大的诗人,英语传统中的伟大诗人。54年来他致力于此,不断重塑自我,创造出一个新的身份。The choice of Dylan may appear surprising, but if you look far back, 2,500 years or so, you discover Homer and Sappho and they wrote poetic texts which were meant to be performed, often with instruments-- it’s the same way for Bob Dylan. We still read Homer and Sappho, and we enjoy it. We can and should read him. 选择迪伦看起来可能令人惊讶,但如果你回顾历史,大约2500年前,你会发现荷马和萨福的诗歌就是为了表演,有乐器伴奏——这和鲍勃·迪伦是相同的方式。我们仍然在读荷马和萨福,很享受。因此,我们也可以也应该去读迪伦。
