瑞典文学院陷入丑闻诺贝尔文学奖面临二战以来首次延期

　　The Swedish Academy says the Nobel Prize in literature will not be awarded this year following sex-abuse allegations and other issues within its ranks that have tarnished the body’s reputation.

　　瑞典文学院表示，由于性虐待指控和其他内部问题有损该机构名誉，诺贝尔文学奖项今年不再颁发。

　　The academy said Friday the 2018 prize will be given in 2019. The decision was made at a weekly meeting in Stockholm on the grounds that the academy is in no shape to pick a winner after a string of sex abuse allegations and financial crimes scandals.

　　该学院在周五宣布，2018年度的诺贝尔文学奖将于2019年度颁发。这一决定在斯德哥尔摩举行的周会上达成，也是该学院在一系列性虐待指控和金融犯罪丑闻之后做出的，因为实在无法甄选出该领域的获奖者。

　　In a statement, the academy said the decision "was arrived at in view of the currently diminished Academy and the reduced public confidence in the Academy".

　　该学院在一份声明中表示，这一决定是因“考虑到目前学院规模的缩小以及公众对该学院失去了信心”而做出的。

　　It will be the first time since wartime 1943 that the prestigious award is not handed out.

　　这将是自二次战争以来第一次没有颁发这一著名奖项。
