英语演讲稿 经典名人英语演讲稿 59：肩负起作为一名作 家的责任(威廉.福克纳诺贝尔文学奖演讲 词) 59. Shoulder the Responsibility of Being a Writer 59. 肩负起作为一名作家的责任 Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only the question: When will I be blown up? Because of this, the young man or women writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat. 当今人们普遍存在着一种生理上的恐惧，这种恐惧由来已久， 以致我们都已经习惯了。 现在不存在精神上的问题， 惟一的问题是— —我什么时候会爆炸？正因如此， 今天从事写作的男女青年已经忘记 了人类内心的冲突， 而这种冲突恰恰是创作的源泉， 因为这是惟一值 得写、值得呕心沥血地去写的题材。 He must learn them again. He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget it forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the old universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed——love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice.

I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even th
