　　Mo Yan is the first Chinese writer who received the honor of winning the Nobel Prize in Literature as his works “merges folk tales, history and the contemporary society with hallucinatory realism”. Born in Gaomi in Shandong Province, Mo Yan dropped out of school during childhood and left home to join the army at the age of 21. Many people came to know Mo Yan through director Zhang Yimou's film Red Sorghum, which is adapted from Mo Yan's novel of the same name. In most cases, stories of Mo Yan's novels occur in Gaomi, and it's this place that inspires his writing greatly during his over 30-year writing career.

　　1.魔幻現實主義:該句是諾貝爾委員會給莫言的頒獎詞，原句中魔幻現實主義使用了 hallucinatory realism,而非 magic realism;當然 hallucinatory 比較生僻，譯為magic也可以。

　　2.獲此殊榮:即“贏得這份榮譽”，故可譯為receive the honor。

　　3.輟學:可譯為drop out of school。leave school并不能準確表達裰學的語義。

　　4.改編:可用adapt,從哪里改編用adapt from...

　　5.寫作生涯:翻譯為writing career。

　　6.激發了他許多創作靈感:可譯為inspires his writing greatly。inspire意為“激發;鼓舞”。
