今年怎么没听说「村上春树」陪跑诺贝尔文学奖了？
瑞典文学院因性骚扰丑闻而陷入危机，几乎一半的成员辞职。今年的诺贝尔文学奖(Nobel Prize for Literature)将延迟颁发，2019年将同时颁发两年的诺贝尔文学奖。
The Nobel Prize for Literature will not be awarded this year after the organisation that decides on a winner found itself embroiled in a sexual assault scandal. Six members resigned from the Swedish Academy. Maddy Savage is in Stockholm.
今年的诺贝尔文学奖将不颁发，决定获胜者的机构卷入性丑闻旋涡。瑞典文学院六名工作人员辞职，请听马蒂•萨瓦奇在斯德哥尔摩的报道。
The decision from the academy to postpone the prize is an admission that it's lost credibility. Following months of divisions over the way it handled sex assault allegations concerning the French photographer Jean-Claude Arnault who ran a cultural project that got funding from the Swedish Academy and whose wife was a member until recently.
瑞典文学院决定推迟颁发诺贝尔文学奖，这一举措证明了其信誉丢失。数月以来，关于法国摄影师让-克洛德•阿尔诺的性侵指控处理方式，人们意见不一，此人经营一项由瑞典文学院资助的文化项目，而他的妻子此前是瑞典文学院成员。
She stepped aside last week amid a wave of resignations. The academy has now said it will start working on changing its procedures around conflict of interest and communication in an attempt to rebuild its reputation in time for the prize announcement next year.
上周，她也和其他成员一起辞职。文学院目前指出，他们将围绕利益冲突和沟通来改变流程，从而重塑声誉，为明年的诺贝尔颁奖扫清障碍。
