Bob Dylan, a folk and rock musician from Minnesota, won the Nobel Prize in literature in 2016. How does it feel?
If you’re a baby boomer who came of age on Dylan’s words and music, you’ve waited for this moment. 【F1】
It is validation of his talent, yes, but also of your taste and the cultural and political revolution you embraced: Bob Dylan the rock star wins the Nobel in literature, and in this way the soundtrack of your generation gets acknowledged for its enduring value.
That means an honorary Nobel Peace Prize for John Lennon, and how about a Nobel in, urn, chemistry, for the Grateful Dead?
OK, enough about the boomers. This prize isn’t about your generation, which, sorry to say, soon will be knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door. This prize is more valuable for everyone who didn’t see Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965 or wasn’t old enough to buy "Blood on the Tracks" when it was released in 1975. 【F2】
Think of the Nobel announcement as less an affirmation than an introduction to a dazzling artist whose talent as a lyricist is urgent and timeless.
The Nobel committee has a tricky task searching the planet for great literature and parceling out recognition fairly. 【F3】
Given the world’s language and cultural differences, most writers chosen are going to be unfamiliar and possibly unappreciated to readers in many other countries.
Each Nobel is an invitation to explore the works of an artist, often not widely known. Safe to say most Americans hadn’t heard of Svetlana Alexievich of Belarus, winner of 2015.
The most intriguing prospective audience for Dylan is young people, who know him more as handmade art-work than artist. 【F4】
Bringing him to their attention is an interesting exercise because all of the issues he has taken on throughout his career—war, love, loss, hypocrisy, civil rights—are still unresolved.
Who else among today’s songwriters is capable of bringing clarity and grace to the era of the political circus, terrorism and inequality? Dylan stands with the best ever.
For a young generation familiar with rap and pop, an old-fashioned folk rocker such as Dylan is a stretch to appreciate. 【F5】
But his selection by the Nobel committee is a signal that all forms of writing, from novels to songs, have lasting artistic merit.
The aging boomers understand why Dylan deserves his honor. If you don’t know his music, give it a listen.
【F3】
选项
答案
考虑到世界语言和文化差异,大部分被选中的作家通常不被许多其他国家的人所熟知,而且很可能无法得到他们的赞赏。
解析
①本句是一个简单句,是主系表结构。②chosen为过去分词作后置定语修饰writers,意为“被选中的作家”。系动词时态使用了一般将来时be going to be。表语由两个并列的形容词unfamiliar and unappreciated构成。句末的to readers和in many other countries分别是方式状语和地点状语。③句首的介词短语Given…cultural differences在句中作条件状语。given作介词,意为“考虑到……”。
