No writer knows the greatest writers who did not receive the Prize can accept it other than with humility. There is no need to list these writers. Everyone here may make his own list according to his knowledge and his conscience. It would be impossible for me to ask the Ambassador of my country to read a speech in which a writer said all of the things which are in his heart. Things may not be immediately discernible in what a man writes, and in this sometimes he is fortunate, but eventually they are quite clear and by these and the degree of alchemy that he possesses he will endure or be forgotten. Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it,each day.
当一个作家知道在他以前不少伟大的作家并没有获此奖项的时候，没有谁能够心安理得地领奖而不感到受之有愧。这里无须一一列举这些作家的名字。在座的每一个人，都可以根据他的学识和良心提出自己名单来。要想把一个作家心中所感受到的一切都说尽，而只通过我国大使在这儿宣读一篇演讲稿，那是不可能的。一个人作品中的一些东西可能不会马上被人理解，在这点上，他有时是幸运的；但是他们终究会十分清晰起来，根据它们以及作家所具有的点石成金的本领之大小，他将青史留名或被人遗忘。 写作，在最成功的时候，是一种孤寂的生涯。作家的组织固然可以排遣他们的孤独，但是我怀疑它们未必能够促进作家的创作。一个在稠人广众之中成长起来的作家，自然可以免除孤苦寂寥之虑，但他的作品往往流于平庸。而一个在岑寂中独立工作的作家，假若他确实不同凡响，就必须天天面对永恒的东西，或者面对缺乏永恒的状况。
