　　莫言，因其作品“将魔幻现实主义与民间故事、历史与当代社会融合在一起”而获得诺贝尔文学奖，是首位获此殊荣的中国籍作家。莫言生于山东高密，从小辍学，21岁离家参军。许多人是通过导演张艺谋的电影《红高粱》 (Red Sorghum )才知道莫言的，《红高粱》正是改编自莫言的同名小说。莫言小说中的故事多发生在高密，在三十几年的写作生涯中，这个地方激发了他许多创作灵感。

　　参考翻译:

Inmost cases, stories of Mo Yan's novels occur in Gaomi, and it's this place that inspires hiswriting greatly during his over 30-year writing career.

　　解析　

　　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 thehonor。

　　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”。
