　　鲍勃迪伦无视诺贝尔奖邀请?! 这TM就很尴尬了

　　The Swedish Academy, which awards the prizes every October and organises the presentation in December, says it has not heard back from the Minnesota-born singer.

　　瑞典皇家科学院每年10月颁发诺贝尔奖，并在12月组织颁奖仪式，他们表示还没有从这位明尼苏达州出生的歌手那里听到回信。

　　"Right now we are doing nothing," said Sara Danius, permanent secretary of the academy. "I have called and sent emails to his closest collaborator³ and received very friendly replies. For now, that is certainly enough."

　　瑞典皇家科学院常任秘书长萨拉·达尼乌斯表示：“现在我们不采取任何行动，我已经给他最密切的合作伙伴打过电话、发了邮件，并且得到了非常友好的回复。现在，这样就足够了。”

　　Dylan has a long and erratic⁴ history with award ceremonies, beginning with his 1963 Tom Paine award for civil rights, in which he delivered a rambling⁵ acceptance speech saying he sympathised with JFK's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. He later issued an apology.

　　从1963年获得汤姆·潘恩人权奖起，迪伦长年以来对待颁奖典礼的态度一直很另类。当时，他在典礼上发表了一段不知所云的获奖感言，称他很同情刺杀肯尼迪的李·哈维·奥斯瓦尔德。事后，他发布了道歉声明。

　　MsDanius, from the academy, said they did not know whether he planned to attend the December 10 ceremony, for winners to be presented with their awards in Stockholm from King Carl Gustaf.

　　瑞典皇家科学院的达尼乌斯称，他们不知道迪伦是否打算参加12月10日的颁奖典礼，当晚瑞典国王卡尔·古斯塔夫将为获奖者颁奖。

　　"If he doesn't want to come, he won't come," said MsDanius. "It will be a big party in any case and the honour belongs to him."

　　达尼乌斯表示：“如果他不想参加，他就不会参加。无论如何这将是一场盛大的聚会，而荣誉属于他。”
