　　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.魔幻现实主义:该句是诺贝尔委员会给莫言的颁奖词，原句中魔幻现实主义使用了 hallucinatory realism,而非 magic realism;当然 hallucinatory 比较生僻，译为magic也可以。

　　2.获此殊荣:即“赢得这份荣誉”，故可译为receive the honor。

　　3.辍学:可译为drop out of school。leave school并不能准确表达裰学的语义。

　　4.改编:可用adapt,从哪里改编用adapt from...

　　5.写作生涯:翻译为writing career。

　　6.激发了他许多创作灵感:可译为inspires his writing greatly。inspire意为“激发;鼓舞”。
