评莫言

On Mo Yan

正所谓取精用弘,披沙拣金,莫言们并非没有自己的取舍和好恶。简而言之,概而言之,莫言是优秀中国作家的代表之一。从世界文学的角度看,他有无数可圈可点的闪光之处。谓予不信,我姑且罗列一二。当然,指摘挑剔或谓求全责备也许难以避免。再则,虽说诺贝尔奖不是文学的唯一标准,但世人的关注也便使莫言更具有范例的意义和解剖的必要了。

It does not necessarily mean that Mo Yan and the like have no personal favor or criteria. In actuality, what they attempt to do is just to select the finest from a vast quantity of books. All in all, Mo Yan is one of the best Chinese writers who have numerous merits if we look at his achievements in terms of world literature. I hereby just name a few to illustrate my argument. However, nit-picky criticisms for perfection with good reason might be unavoidable. Moreover, even though the Nobel Prize in Literature is not the only benchmark of literature, the fact that it gains wide attention from the public has promoted the image ofMo Yan as a model with significance and made his works necessary to be interpreted comprehensiveIy.
