Famed novelist Gabriel García Márquez passed away on Thursday, according to a family member cited by the Associated Press. He was 87 years old.

据美联社报道，著名小说家加夫列尔·加西亚·马尔克斯在周四逝世，享年87岁。

The Colombian Nobel Prize winning author was hospitalized for nine days in late March for an infection in his lungs and urinary tract. He had been recovering in his home in Mexico City since April 8.

在今年三月份，这位哥伦比亚籍的诺贝尔奖得主因肺部和尿道感染住院9天，从4月8号开始，他就一直在墨西哥的家中休养。

García Márquez was born in Aracataca, Colombia on March 6, 1927. The northern Colombian town inspired the setting for his 1967 novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, which earned international critical acclaim and tens of millions of readers. García Márquez earned even more fans with his 1985 book, Love in the Time of Cholera. He was considered by many to be the most popular Spanish-language writer since Miguel de Cervantes, who wrote Don Quixote in the 17th century.

加西亚·马尔克斯于1927年3月6日出生于哥伦比亚的阿拉卡塔卡，这座哥伦比亚北部的小镇曾是马尔克斯写于1967年的《百年孤独》里的故事背景，这部《百年孤独》赢得了国际评论界与万千读者的广泛赞誉。加西亚·马尔克斯出版于1985年的小说《霍乱时期的爱情》，吸引了更多的读者。他被认为是自米格尔·德·塞万提斯（他在17世纪时期创作了《唐吉诃德》）以来，最受欢迎的西班牙语作家。
