My Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech《我的诺贝尔奖获奖感言》

(Presented Here Against the Unlikely Chance I Never Get to Deliver It)

(虽然获不了——不过要真能获诺奖我就用这个了)

It’s about time!

这时候终于到了!

You lousy bastards should have given this to me decades ago, and you fucking well know it. Look at the morons and retards you have given it to. Okay, so Albert Einstein, personal hygiene aside, wasn’t a total loser. But Niels Bohr, Desmond Tutu, Ilya Prigogine, the Dalai Lama?

你们这些混球杂种们十年前就该把这个奖颁给我了,你们都知道这一点。看看你们把它颁给过哪些白痴和智障?好吧,阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦,按我个人观点来看,还不算完全失败。不过尼尔斯·玻尔、德斯蒙德·图图,伊利亚·普里高津,甚至还有达赖喇嘛?

You’d think this award was being given for having a funny name! And whoever decided it would be a cute joke to give the prize in literature to the likes of Thomas Mann, Anatole France, and Selma Lagerlof obviously never bothered trying to read those boring old windbags. To say nothing of that self-promoting fraud, Mother Theresa!

你们是觉得想获奖得先有个搞笑的名字是吧?还有,不管是谁决定的,把诺贝尔文学奖颁给像是托马斯·曼、阿纳托尔·法朗士、塞尔玛·拉格洛芙都是个可爱的笑话,评委们显然不会厌烦读这些闷的老裹脚布。对那个自吹自擂的骗子,特蕾莎修女,我什么也不想说!

I could go on, but I think my point is made.

我可以继续说下去,不过我觉得我的意思已经够清楚了。

The Nobel Prize was created by Alfred Nobel, who was – I trust I’m not hurting anybody’s feelings here – a neurotic recluse and a mass-murdering Swede. So, when one considers the source, I really shouldn’t be surprised that you only gave me the one. There are five, you know. (I don’t count the Economics thingie as a real Nobel, and neither should you.) It’s not as if the single greatest Writer/Peacemaker [note to self: scratch out whichever category these idiots neglect to honor me in] the world has ever known couldn’t be adept in chemistry and physics and medicine as well. I assure you I could. Not that I have, granted. I’ve been busy. But surely intentions should count for something.

诺贝尔奖由阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔创立,他是个——我并不是在故意伤害在场各位的感情,不过他是个有神经病的隐士,也是个发动过大屠杀的瑞典人。一想到这个根源,我也就不吃惊你们只颁给我这一个奖项了。你们知道的,总共有五个奖项(我可没把经济奖当诺贝尔奖,建议你们也别)。世界上最伟大的作家或是和平促进者(注:他们把我安到哪个奖项这儿就写什么奖)不可能同时也精通物理、化学或是医学吧?我跟你们说,我就能。呃,事实是,我的确不能。我很忙,毕竟。不过我的意思也在这儿了。

Oh, and a word about the venue. Stockholm?? In December??? No wonder your bikini team never showed up.

哦,关于诺贝尔奖的颁奖地点我也有两句话要说。斯德哥尔摩??在十二月???难怪从来没见过你们的小组穿泳装上过阵。

So here’s what I propose: Vegas, obviously, for the climate. Ditch the king – nice guy, but no Robin Williams. For the MC, rather than doing the safe thing with Madonna or J-Lo, go visionary with the Osborne Family.

所以在这我提议维加斯,当然了,因为那的气候更好。国王就一边去吧——他人倒不赖,不过还是比不上罗宾·威廉姆斯。至于主持人,比起更稳妥的麦当娜或是珍妮弗·洛佩兹,我更看好奥斯博恩家的人。

Can you picture them wandering aimlessly about the stage? Hilarious.

你能拍下他们在台下像无头苍蝇似的急得乱走时的样子吗?相当滑稽。

Maybe we can even convince Ozzie to bite the head off a (fake) bat.

也许我们可以说服奥齐把一只(假)蝙蝠的脑袋咬下来。

To get television coverage in the major markets, you’re going to need music – Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith, maybe even get the Stones out of retirement and back in spandex again. Back ’em up with a few flash-pots and some fly-girl dancers. Filmed testimonials from Michael Jackson and the Simpsons. Choreography from The Producers. A line of Elvis impersonators. Dignified and elegant, that’s the key. Keep the wire-work to a minimum.

在向主市场放送电视节目的时候,你们需要音乐——比如枪炮与玫瑰乐队,空中铁匠乐队,甚至可能让滚石乐队在退休后穿上紧身衣出场。舞台背景采用闪彩光斑和空中舞女。获奖证书上再印上迈克尔·杰克逊和《辛普森一家》。 编舞要从音乐剧《王牌制作人》里选。 一溜都是猫王模仿秀演员。既庄重又典雅,这就是关键。 台上尽量少布线。

I get shivers just thinking about it.

仅仅是想想这一幕我就兴奋得发抖。

Now I realize that these suggestions might seem startling to some. But that’s why I’m up here and you’re down there – because I’m a genius and you’re not. So shut up and think it over.

刚刚我注意到这些建议似乎可能让某些人有些吃惊。不过那才是为什么我在台上而你们在台下——因为我是天才而你们不是。所以,闭上你们的嘴巴,思考我的话就行了。

Meanwhile, I accept this award with a modesty so profound that pissants like you cannot even begin to comprehend it.

还有,我接受这个奖的态度实际上非常谦虚,不过像你们这样无足轻重的家伙们估计是根本理解不了了。

Thank you.

谢谢。
