莫言获得诺贝尔文学奖，据说好处之一是，让不看书的人，也知道莫言了。在我而言，欣赏他的作品，但更敬佩他敢于认错的勇气。

Mo yan won the Nobel Prize for literature,It is said that one of the benefits is,Let not the reader,Know the mo yan.In me,Appreciate his work,But more to admire his courage to admit.

　　事情源于2010年，以纠错闻名的杂志《咬文嚼字》发动读者向莫言挑战，从他的作品中挑出许多历史常识和文字错误。

Things from 2010,To error correction famous magazine[Speak like a book]Launch the reader to mo yan challenge,From his works to pick out many historical sense and text error.

　　在长篇小说《檀香刑》中，写孙眉娘见知县时描述道：起身后“又打一躬”。有读者指出，孙眉娘“打躬”，这不合当时妇女的礼节习俗。“打躬”，指两手抱拳高拱，身子略弯，这是旧时男子使用的礼节。古时女子向人敬礼应该是“万福”。清朝时女性见了知县可以跪拜，也可以道个万福，但不该打躬。

In the novel[Sandalwood punishment]in,Write SunMei niang see when the magistrate of a county description way:Behind the"Bowed again dozen".Readers have pointed out that,SunMei niang"Play bowed",This out when women's etiquette custom."Play bowed",Refers to the fuels with high arch,Body slightly curved,This is the old man use etiquette.Old woman to salute should be"hail".When the qing dynasty women saw the magistrate of a county can bow down to,Can also way a hail,But shouldn't play bowed.

　　在《生死疲劳》中，说到蓝大头，让人想起了“金庸的《天龙八部》中的那个九十多岁了还面如少女的天山童佬，那小老太太双脚一跺，就蹦到参天大树的顶梢上，像鸟一样地吹口哨”。莫言想说的应该是那个“天山童姥”。“姥”指年老的妇女，“佬”多数是指男人，而且含有轻视的意味，如“肥佬”“乡巴佬”等。

in[Fatigue life and death]in,Said to the blue,Let the human remember the"Jin yong's[The Demi-Gods and the Semi-Devils]Of the more than ninety years old still surface such as the girl's tianshan children's guy,The little old lady feet from a,Will jump to the top of the great trees on the top,Like a bird to whistle".Mo yan want to say should be that"Tien kid mu"."basking"Refers to the old woman,"guy"Most is refers to the man,And contain slighting means,if"Lard bucket""bumpkins", etc.

　　从《酒国》开篇一句“省人民检察院的特级侦察员丁钩儿搭乘一辆拉煤的解放牌卡车到罗山煤矿进行一项特别调查”中可看出，莫言犯了一个常识性错误，他把属于司法人员的“侦查员”写成了属于军事人员的“侦察员”。“侦查”是司法术语，指公安、检察机关为确定犯罪事实和犯罪嫌疑人而依法进行调查。“侦察”却为军事术语，指为弄清敌情和其他有关作战方面的情况，进行秘密察访等活动。很明显，莫言混淆了“侦查员”和“侦察员”的概念。

from[Wine countries]Opening a"Provincial people's procuratorate of the super scout butyl GouEr aboard a car pull coal jiefang truck to investigate coal mine on a special investigation"Can be seen in the,Mo yan made a commonsense error,He belongs to the judicial personnel"investigator"Written for belong to the military personnel"scout"."investigation"Is judicial term,Refers to the public security/The procuratorial organs in order to determine criminal facts and the criminal suspect and carry out investigation according to laws."reconnaissance"But for military terms,In order to make clear to inspect predators and other relevant operational aspects of the situation,Secret investigate and other activities.obviously,Mo yan confusing the"investigator"and"scout"concept.

　　《咬文嚼字》把这些错误汇总后分两次寄给莫言。莫言第一次看了读者意见后坦言：“挑得很对，非常感谢。”第二次他又说：“读者提得对。我认错。”随后，他感慨道：“说实话，我连小学都没毕业，能有现在的成绩，是读者对我的错爱，还被戴上一顶"著名作家"的帽子，实在让我汗颜。既然读者能在我的几本书里找到错误，说明大家依然喜欢我，也对我是个莫大的鞭策，那我就更要善待读者，一丝不苟地继续写下去。我肯定，在我的书中，还有很多错误，我非常欢迎大家毫不客气地指出来，我一定虚心改正。”

[Speak like a book]Put these mistakes summary in twice sent to mo yan.Mo yan first time to see the readers advice said:"Pick very to,Thank you very much."The second time he said:"Readers to ask.I admit."then,He regrets way:"To tell you the truth,I didn't graduate school,Can have now grades,The reader is to my undeserved kindness,Has been put on a hat"Famous writer"hat,Really let me shame.Now that readers can in a few of my book found the mistake,Explain you still like me,Also I am a great push,Then I would be more to be nice to the reader,Meticulously continued to write on.I'm sure,In my book,There are many wrong,I am very glad to welcome you rudely out,I must have an open mind correction."

　　有一些作家，明知错了还要百般狡辩。与这些人相比，莫言的认错与道歉，更是难能可贵。

Some writers,Knowing the wrong even in every possible way chicanery.Compared with these people,Mo yan's mistake and apologize,Is commendable.
