阿里·阿布·亚辛（Ali Abu Yassin），这位在以色列种族灭绝行动摧毁周围世界的同时仍坚持写作的加沙剧作家，荣获了伦敦的一个重量级奖项。
Ali Abu Yassin, a playwright from Gaza who continued writing even as Israel’s genocidal campaign devastated the world around him, has won a prestigious award in London.
“这个奖不仅对我个人意义重大，对加沙、巴勒斯坦以及所有巴勒斯坦人民也是如此，”阿里·阿布·亚辛在周四被文学组织English PEN评为“2026年勇气作家”时对半岛电视台表示。
“This prize is great not only for me, but for Gaza, Palestine, and all the Palestinian people,” Ali Abu Yasin, who was named on Thursday as “Writer of Courage 2026” by the literary group English PEN, told Al Jazeera.
这位62岁的作家在加沙最大的难民营之一——阿尔-沙蒂（al‑Shati）难民营的青少年时期开始写剧本并学习弹奏乌德琴，该营地也是近期袭击的目标。
The 62-year-old began writing plays and mastering the oud as a teenager in al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza, one of the largest in the Strip and a target of recent attacks.
“这就是我的出生方式，我从小就想通过艺术表达自己，”他对半岛电视台说。
“It’s how I was born, I’ve wanted to express myself using art since my childhood,” he told Al Jazeera.
2023年10月战争爆发后，阿布·亚辛停止了剧本创作，转而写关于以色列轰炸下的生活。
After the war began in October, 2023, Abu Yasin stopped writing plays and instead wrote about life under Israeli bombardment.
阿布·亚辛说，前两年他写的是加沙局势——巴勒斯坦人逃离家园，担心生命安全。
Abu Yasin said for the first two years, he wrote about the situation in Gaza as Palestinians fled and feared for their lives.
“根本没有剧院；根本不可能有剧院，因为加沙正在被毁灭，”这位作家摇头说道。
“There was no theatre; it was impossible to have a theatre because Gaza was being destroyed,” the writer said, shaking his head.
自2023年以来，以色列在加沙已导致超过74,000人死亡，绝大多数幸存者被迫多次流离失所。
Since 2023, Israel has killed more than 74,000 people in Gaza and the majority of survivors have been displaced several times over.
阿布·亚辛与演员们合作，演员们如今只能在临时搭建的帐篷里排练台词，枪声不断作响。
Abu Yasin works with actors who now rehearse their lines in makeshift tents, against the sound of gunfire.
“我四、五次濒临死亡。我看到身边的人死去。我们靠运气活着，死去的人也是靠运气死的，”阿布·亚辛对半岛电视台说。
“I was near death four, five times. I saw people around me die. We lived by chance, and those who died, died by chance,” Abu Yasin told Al Jazeera.
“我的儿子被废墟压住；我的房子被炸毁。所以，在那两年里，我只想为家人提供一点安全，保护他们免于饥荒，并记录发生的事情，让世界在我死前听到我的声音。”休整后，他写了几部剧本，并在流离途中将其隐藏并随身携带。
“My son was trapped under rubble; my house was bombed. So, during those two years, I was trying just to provide some safety to my family. To protect them from famine. And to document what was happening, so the world can hear my voice before I die.”After a break, he wrote several screenplays that he hid and carried with him throughout displacement.
2004年，阿布·亚辛开始与赛义德·阿尔‑米沙尔剧院（Said Al‑Mishal Theatre）合作，该剧院是加沙市巴勒斯坦文化的中心，2018年在一次以色列轰炸中被夷为平地。
In 2004, Abu Yasin began working with the Said Al-Mishal Theatre, a hub for Palestinian culture in Gaza City that was levelled in a 2018 Israeli bombing.
在致《卫报》的一封信中，多位顶尖剧作家和戏剧导演将此次袭击描述为“对巴勒斯坦文化与身份象征的彻底摧毁”。
Leading playwrights and theatre directors described the attack as “obliteration of this symbol of Palestinian culture and identity” in a letter to The Guardian newspaper.
2008年，阿布·亚辛开始创作《加沙独白》，这一系列作品展现了加沙人民生活中的喜悦与痛苦时刻。
In 2008, Abu Yasin began writing the Gaza Monologues, a series illustrating life in Gaza, both moments of joy and of pain.
几周前，在法国一项艺术家驻留计划的支持下，阿布·亚辛离开了加沙。
A few weeks ago, Abu Yasin left Gaza with the support of an artist residency programme in France.
“我其实并没有真正离开战争。战争存在于我的内心，加沙也存在于我的内心，”他说。
“I didn’t actually leave the war. The war lives in me, Gaza lives in me,” he said.
他发现自己开始节约用水、减少浪费，这些习惯是在人道主义危机中逐渐养成的。
He has found himself conserving small amounts of water and minimising waste, habits he developed by living through the humanitarian crisis.
颁奖典礼恰逢他前往法国期间，因此他得以亲自出席，这在很大程度上是幸运的巧合。对于英国笔会而言，在大英图书馆举行线下颁奖典礼是一种不可多得的殊荣。
The award ceremony aligns with his trip to France, allowing him to attend in person largely by fortunate coincidence. For English PEN, the privilege of an in-person ceremony at the British Library is not taken for granted.
“多年来，生活在加沙的作家一直是世界上行动自由最受限的人群之一。我们认识到这一点，也明白这对他们表达自由造成的直接影响，”英国笔会的一位发言人告诉半岛电视台。
“For many years, writers living in Gaza have been among those with the most limited freedom of movement in the world. We recognise this and the direct impact it has on their freedom of expression,” an English PEN spokesperson told Al Jazeera.
阿布·亚辛近期的戏剧《50分钟》曾在加沙上演，讲述了种族灭绝与哀悼的故事。演员们在一处停车场的临时帐篷中排练，其中许多人此前完全没有戏剧表演经验。
Abu Yasin’s recent play, 50 Minutes was shown in Gaza and tells the story of genocide and mourning. Actors rehearsed in a makeshift tent in a car park, many of them without any previous theatre experience.
阿布·亚辛由英国学者兼文化评论家雅克琳·罗斯提名，后者曾荣获2026年笔会品特奖。
Abu Yasin was nominated by the British academic and cultural critic Jacqueline Rose, who won the 2026 PEN Pinter Prize.
英国笔会表示：“‘勇敢作家奖’授予那些积极捍卫表达自由的作者，他们常常为此冒着自身安全与自由受到严重威胁的风险，并将与品特奖得主共同分享该奖项。”
The Writer of Courage “is awarded to an author who is active in defence of freedom of expression, often at great risk to their own safety and liberty, and shares the PEN Pinter Prize with the winner,” says English PEN.
该组织是国际笔会英国分会，而国际笔会是一个全球性作家协会，致力于“在全球范围内捍卫表达自由并推动文学发展”。
The organisation is the United Kingdom branch of PEN International, a global association of writers dedicated to “championing freedom of expression and literary advocacy worldwide”.
PEN America作为PEN国际在美国的分支机构，近年来饱受争议。有人指责该组织未能为巴勒斯坦作家提供支持。最终PEN America遭到抵制，其主席也于2025年辞职。
PEN America, its United States counterpart, came under fire in recent years as some alleged it did not support Palestinian writers. PEN America faced a boycott, leading to the resignation of its president in 2025.
独立于美国组织的英国PEN则与PEN国际一道，呼吁对以色列实施武器禁运，并谴责杀害巴勒斯坦作家的行为。
English PEN, which operates independently from the US group, joined PEN International in calling for an arms embargo on Israel and condemning the killing of Palestinian writers.
在一份新闻稿中，罗斯称阿布·亚辛的作品“是对正义的呼唤、是愤怒的呐喊，也是一次精神层面的探索”。
Rose described his work as “a call for justice, a cry of outrage and a spiritual quest” in a press release.
“他始终如实地记录着巴勒斯坦人民所遭受的苦难与残酷现实，同时也是那些试图在破碎生活中寻找意义的年轻人的良师益友。”罗斯因2005年出版的《锡安主义之问》一书而声名鹊起，该书是对锡安主义进行心理分析的著作。阿布·亚辛育有三名子女及16个孙辈，除在法国从事演员工作的儿子阿姆贾德·阿布·亚辛外，其余家人均身处加沙地带。
“He has been the consistent chronicler of the harshness and cruelty of Palestinian existence, and the mentor of young people struggling to pluck meaning from the debris of their lives.”Rose came to prominence with her 2005 book, The Question of Zion, a psychoanalysis of Zionism Abu Yasin has three children and 16 grandchildren. All are in Gaza except for his son, Amjad Abu Yasin, who is an actor in France.
“在加沙，我们的梦想很简单。我们希望生活在和平与自由之中，希望天空与海洋都能向我们敞开，”他说道，“我们只渴望一点自由而已。”
“In Gaza, we have simple dreams. We want to live in peace and to live in freedom. We want the sky and the seas to be open,” he said. “We just want some freedom.”
