诺贝尔文学奖揭晓：加拿大诗人安妮·卡森获奖
瑞典学院周四在斯德哥尔摩宣布，2026 年诺贝尔文学奖授予 76 岁的加拿大诗人、散文家兼古典学者安妮·卡森。学院在颁奖词中说，她「以大胆而富于创造力的全部作品，与古典传统展开充满趣味的对话，为当代文学开创了新形式」。 卡森 1950 年生于多伦多，在多伦多大学研习古典学，之后长期在麦吉尔大学、密歇根大学、普林斯顿大学等校任教。她是继 2013 年的爱丽丝·门罗之后，第二位获此殊荣的加拿大作家，也是诺贝尔文学奖 123 位得主中的第 19 位女性。 卡森的写作横跨诗歌、散文、小说与翻译，古希腊罗马文学是她的源泉。成名作《红的自传》（1998）把古希腊神话中的怪物革律翁，改写成一个现代少年的成长与爱情故事；《丈夫的美丽》（2001）和为悼念亡兄而作的《诺克斯》（2010）也备受推崇。她翻译的萨福残篇、欧里庇得斯与索福克勒斯悲剧，被学院认为本身就是独立的文学创作。 学院常任秘书卡尔贝里透露，电话通知时卡森正在冰岛的家中「听风」，大感意外。卡森对冰岛媒体打趣说这消息「太疯狂了」，还说要给自己书的封面贴个获奖标志。本届奖金为 1200 万瑞典克朗（约 120 万美元），颁奖仪式将于 12 月 10 日在斯德哥尔摩举行。 获奖之前，卡森已拿过麦克阿瑟「天才奖」、格里芬诗歌奖和 T·S·艾略特奖。本周的诺贝尔奖季还剩和平奖（将于周五揭晓）与经济学奖（下周一）。（GSM 综合 Reuters、AP 报道）
Canadian Poet Anne Carson Wins the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature
The Swedish Academy announced in Stockholm on Thursday that the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature goes to Anne Carson, the 76-year-old Canadian poet, essayist and classical scholar. The Academy cited her "bold and inventive oeuvre" that, in playful dialogue with the classical tradition, "has created new forms for contemporary literature." Born in Toronto in 1950, Carson trained in classics at the University of Toronto and went on to teach at McGill University, the University of Michigan and Princeton, among others. She is the second Canadian to win the prize, after Alice Munro in 2013, and the 19th woman among 123 literature laureates. Carson's writing moves between poetry, essay, fiction and translation, drawing on Greek and Roman literature throughout. Her breakthrough, Autobiography of Red (1998), turns the Greek monster Geryon into a modern teenager in a story of growing up and first love; The Beauty of the Husband (2001) and Nox (2010), an elegy for her brother, are also widely acclaimed. The Academy regards her translations of Sappho, Euripides and Sophocles as independent works of literature in their own right. Ingrid Carlberg, the Academy's permanent secretary, said Carson was at home in Iceland "listening to the wind" when the call came, and was taken by surprise. Carson joked to Icelandic media that the news was crazy and that she would put a sticker on the front of her book. The prize is worth 12 million Swedish kronor (about $1.2 million) and will be presented in Stockholm on December 10. Before the Nobel, Carson had already received a MacArthur "genius" grant, the Griffin Poetry Prize and the T. S. Eliot Prize. Still to come this Nobel season are the Peace Prize on Friday and the economics prize next Monday. (Compiled by GSM from Reuters and AP reporting.)
