• 马悦然接受中国媒体采访时就表示，中国作家应该更自信， 挖掘更多自己的内在力量，而不应太看重国外的标准。此 外，好的作品遇到好的翻译也很重要。近年来，包括阿来、 余华、杨红樱等中国作家的作品不断在欧美推出多语种版 本，此次莫言获奖，显示出中国文化对外的影响逐渐增大 的趋势。 • 白烨特别强调了文学翻译的重要性。他说，目前中国在文 学作品翻译方面下的功夫不够大。一般的情况是，作家的 作品推出后，完全是自然而然，有人看中喜欢就翻译。在 组织性、推介性上做的很不够。中国作家的作品翻译成其 他文字，主要靠的还是国外的汉学家。

What do you think of the attention Chinese put on the Nobel Prize in literature? What do you think of the ‘Mo Yan mania’?
• Howard Goldblatt: a world-famous translator of Chinese Literature: I don„t have a problem with the prize; it‟s the popular obsession over it that I find objectionable(令人不 愉快的）. For populations in countries like China and South Korea, it has become a matter of national validation if successful, and national scorn if not. Come on, folks, it's an individual prize for a writer's (or poet's) body of work. I know, that's not how aΒιβλιοθήκη Baidulot of people see it, but ... really!
• "Winning the award means that I have to spare personal time for you (reporters)," said the writer half jokingly.
• "I thank for those who have supported and criticized me online over the past half month – it has been quite a buzz period. But it has also been the best opportunity for me to get to know myself, seeing my flaws and shortcomings and also something valuable for me to carry on."
Panic buying of Mo Yan’s books. Culture and media stock is rising.

In Mo’s Words
• “I grew up in an environment immersed with (Chinese) folk culture（民间文化）, which inevitably come into my novels when I pick up a pen to write. This has definitely affected -- even decided -my works’ artistic style," Mo told a group of reporters at a hotel in his hometown Gaomi, in Shandong province, two hours after he won the award.
• In 1986, Mo published Red Sorghum as a novella（中篇小说）; the following year the film version swept the world off its feet as it went on to collect the Golden Bear award at the 38th Berlin International Film Festival.
• 诺贝尔文学奖评委马悦然：这一奖项不是选“世界冠军”， 莫言获奖显示出西方文学界已注意到中国当代文学繁荣的 现象，令人振奋。 • 香港作家葛亮指出：“如果一个诺贝尔文学奖，提升了普 世读者对中国文学的兴趣，才是最大意义所在，尤其在香 港这样文学式微的环境里。” • 在著名文学评论家白烨看来，人们关心诺贝尔文学奖，更 多是非文学的，是一种社会性和媒体性的关心。这些关心， 可以单纯地看作一种热情，一种基于民族主义热情的想象。 这种情结既反映出渴望，又反映出一种不自信。
