多伦多，10月8日——诗人兼作家安妮·卡森于周四获得了诺贝尔文学奖，这一消息在她的祖国加拿大引发了热烈的庆祝活动。加拿大长期以来一直生活在邻国美国的阴影之下，但随着唐纳德·特朗普执政下的美国在全球范围内引发争议，加拿大逐渐获得了更多关注。
TORONTO, Oct 8 - Poet and writer Anne Carson won the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday, spurring celebrations in her native Canada, a country that has long lived in the shadow of its southern neighbor but is enjoying heightened global attention as a foil to President Donald Trump's America.
多伦多大学英语教授迈克尔·科布教授教授卡森的作品已有近25年，他表示，这一奖项的颁发恰逢国际社会对加拿大兴趣日益增长的时期。他还回忆起自己最近一次欧洲之行。
Michael Cobb, an English professor at the University of Toronto who has taught Carson's work for nearly 25 years, said the prize coincided with a period of growing international curiosity about Canada, recalling a recent trip to Europe.

"I think it's just wonderfully serendipitous," he said. "It contributes to this idea that Canada is a very distinct and interesting culture that's different from the United States." It hasn't always been this way. Carson herself noted in a 2000 interview with the Globe and Mail that Canadians generally only won awards at home after being honored in the US.
“我觉得这真是太巧了，”科布教授说，“这进一步证明了加拿大是一种独特而有趣的文化，与美国截然不同。”不过情况并非一直如此。卡森本人在2000年接受《环球邮报》（Globe and Mail）采访时曾指出：“加拿大人通常只有在美国获奖后，才会在国内获得认可。”
"It's typical of Canadians," she said at the time. "You have to win awards outside this country before they'll recognize you." Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has gained global fame as one of few leaders to retaliate against Trump's tariffs and call for new global alliances. He has been rewarded with consistently high approval ratings at home, where Canadians are relishing a new-found patriotism.
“这很符合加拿大人的性格，”她当时说，“你必须先在国外获奖，他们才会承认你的价值。”加拿大总理马克·卡尼因敢于对抗特朗普的关税并呼吁建立新的全球联盟而声名鹊起。他在国内获得了极高的支持率，加拿大人民也因此重新燃起了爱国热情。
"With wit, imagination, and a style entirely her own, Canadian poet Anne Carson has reimagined the classics," Carney said in a statement. "She has brought ancient stories to new audiences and transformed the way we think about literature." "An extraordinary achievement and a proud moment for Canada," he added.
卡尼在一份声明中表示：“安妮·卡森以她独特的幽默感、丰富的想象力以及独特的写作风格，重新诠释了经典文学作品；她将古老的故事呈现给了新的读者群体，改变了我们对文学的认知。这是加拿大值得骄傲的成就。”
Carson earned bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees at the University of Toronto, and taught at both Canadian and US universities. She was in Iceland, where she has a home, on Thursday.
卡森在多伦多大学获得了学士、硕士和博士学位，并曾在多所加拿大及美国大学任教。周四，她当时正在冰岛——那里也是她的住所所在地。
Carson is the third Canada-born writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, following Saul Bellow (1976), who was born in Quebec and later became an American citizen, and Alice Munro (2013).
卡森是第三位出生于加拿大的诺贝尔文学奖得主，此前两位获奖者分别是出生于魁北克、后来成为美国公民的索尔·贝洛（1976年获奖），以及艾丽斯·门罗（2013年获奖）。
Elizabeth Harvey, professor emerita of English at the University of Toronto who is writing a book on Carson, said Carson had been a contender for the prize for a number of years.
多伦多大学英语系名誉教授伊丽莎白·哈维正在撰写一本关于卡森的著作。她表示，卡森多年来一直被视为诺贝尔文学奖的候选人之一。
Harvey recalled asking her several years ago whether she expected to win the Nobel Prize. Carson responded with characteristic modesty, joking that some names appear on prediction lists "because they need the people who aren't going to win," Harvey said. "I hope she is as surprised, thrilled and delighted as her readers and colleagues are," she said.
哈维回忆说，几年前她曾问过卡森是否认为自己会获得诺贝尔奖。卡森以她一贯的谦逊态度回答说：“有些名字会被列入预测名单，其实只是为了‘填补那些不会获奖的人的位置’罢了。”哈维补充道：“我希望她能像她的读者和同事们一样，对这一荣誉感到惊讶、激动和欣喜。”
Thomas Chirvella, a 23-year-old University of Toronto student, said Carson's recognition underscored Canada's cultural influence beyond its borders.
多伦多大学23岁的学生托马斯·奇尔维拉表示，卡森的获奖凸显了加拿大的文化影响力——这种影响力已经超越了国界。“这表明我们在这所大学所做的一切，确实能够对全球产生影响。”他说。
"It shows that what we're doing here at this university can have an impact on people on a global scale," he said.
