2026 年诺贝尔文学奖得主 Anne Carson
有一句概括她人生状态的话:I strive. I do not win
我赢不了,但仍全力去做
她近年确诊了帕金森,手抖、动作变慢、肌肉僵硬、走路和平衡变差、面部表情减少。
她描述
holding oneself upright against a current that never ceases to pull
这就像是在一股永不停息、把你往下拉的水流中,努力让自己保持站立
It is hard to live within constant striving. It is hard to live within the word ‘degenerative’, which means that, however I strive, I do not win.
活在永不停息的努力之中很难。活在‘退行性’这个词里也很难,因为它意味着:无论我怎样努力,我都不会赢
Of course everyone is striving all their life. And none of us will win against mortality.
当然,每个人一生都在努力。而面对死亡,我们没有任何人能够获胜。
