(2017·佛山市质检)The times are changing.On Thursday October 13th, singer-songwriter Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, marking the first time the highly-eyed-on literary award has gone to someone who is mainly seen as a musician, and giving rise to heated discussions.

The 75-year-old won the prize “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”， the Swedish Academy said.

“For 54 years he has been at it, reinventing himself，” said Sara Danius, the academy's permanent secretary.“Bob Dylan writes poetry for the ear.But it's perfectly fine to read his works as poetry.”

And while many Dylan's fans have found great delight at

the news, others online and in the literary community are cross with the Committee, saying the award has skipped over fiction writers for the second year.

New York Times Book Review editor Pamela Paul said it was good news but pointed out

how many “deserving” novelists there are.

Director Martin Scorsese put out a statement saying he was “overjoyed” that Dylan was awarded the prize.

“Dylan's poetry, his musical genius, has meant so much to me personally and to generations of people around the world，” Scorsese said.“His work has influenced and shaped culture, and he has never stopped exploring and growing as an artist.The Nobel Committee has given Dylan a form of recognition that fits his role in our culture — in world culture.”

Dylan won a Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for his “great influence on popular music and American culture”．He's the first American to win the literary Nobel since Toni Morrison in 1993.

语篇解读：2016年，鲍勃·迪伦获得诺贝尔文学奖的消息让很多人大感意外，从而引发热议。

He was born in Indonesia. At age 6, he learned to play jazz by ear. That means, he learned a piece of music just by listening to it, not by reading notes.

Joey's parents are not musicians. His father played a little piano and guitar, but not professionally. Watching his father play music influenced the young boy. So did his father's record collection. He learned jazz by listening to these records.

By the time Joey was 10, the Lincoln Center in New York City invited him to play jazz at Lincoln Center.

“Joey plays a version of Round Midnight, and everybody's jaws dropped, like looking at Joey and looking at each other ... and they're laughing, like ‘This can't possibly be what we're hearing.’ He took another take afterwards; it was a completely different arrangement. And again, everyone (laughs) ... you kind of shrug your shoulders, look at each other, scratch your head, and just go ‘Okay, all right, I've never seen this before.’”

Joey is home-schooled. And when he is not performing, he also likes playing with toys, playing sports and watching movies.

He earned two Grammy nominations this year, one for “Best Improvised Jazz Solo” and one for “Best Jazz Instrumental Album”. He is one of the youngest musicians ever to earn a Grammy nomination. And now, Joey can follow his dream — playing jazz for people to bring them joy and hope.
