In itself, it ought not to be a sensation that a singer/songwriter now stands recipient of the literary Nobel Prize. In a distant past, all poetry was sung or tunefully recited, poets were rhapsodes, bards, troubadours; 'lyrics' comes from 'lyre'.
本来,一位歌手或作曲家成为诺贝尔文学奖得主并不应该成为一个耸人听闻的事件。在久远的过去,所有的诗都是唱出来或是带着音调起伏诵读出来的。史诗吟诵者、游吟诗人、行吟诗人,他们就是诗人;而“歌词”一词就 But what Bob Dylan did was not to return to the Greeks or the Provençals. Instead, he dedicated himself body and soul to 20th century American popular music, the kind played on radio stations and gramophone records for ordinary people, white and black: protest songs, country, blues, early rock, gospel, mainstream music. He listened day and night, testing the stuff on his instruments, trying to learn. But when he started to write similar songs, they came out differently.
但鲍勃•迪伦所做的并非要回到古希腊或中古的普罗旺斯。相反,他全身心地投入于20世纪的美国流行音乐中,这些都是为普通人创作的音乐,不分人种,它们在广播电台和留声机唱片中播放:抗议歌曲、乡村音乐、蓝调、早期摇滚乐、福音音乐和主流音乐……他日夜聆听,用乐器弹奏,试着学习创作。当他开始写出类似的歌曲时,它们呈现出来的却是另一片天地。
