Famed novelist Gabriel Garca Mrquez passed away on Thursday, according to a family member cited by the Associated Press. He was 87 years old.
據美聯社報道，著名小說家加夫列爾加西亞馬爾克斯在周四逝世，享年87歲。
The Colombian Nobel Prize winning author was hospitalized for nine days in late March for an infection in his lungs and urinary tract. He had been recovering in his home in Mexico City since April 8.
在今年三月份，這位哥倫比亞籍的諾貝爾獎得主因肺部和尿道感染住院9天，從4月8號開始，他就一直在墨西哥的家中休養。
Garca Mrquez was born in Aracataca, Colombia on March 6, 1927. The northern Colombian town inspired the setting for his 1967 novel One Hundred Years of Solitude, which earned international critical acclaim and tens of millions of readers. Garca Mrquez earned even more fans with his 1985 book, Love in the Time of Cholera. He was considered by many to be the most popular Spanish-language writer since Miguel de Cervantes, who wrote Don Quixote in the 17th century.
加西亞馬爾克斯于1927年3月6日出生于哥倫比亞的阿拉卡塔卡，這座哥倫比亞北部的小鎮曾是馬爾克斯寫于1967年的《百年孤獨》里的故事背景，這部《百年孤獨》贏得了國際評論界與萬千讀者的廣泛贊譽。加西亞馬爾克斯出版于1985年的小說《霍亂時期的愛情》，吸引了更多的讀者。他被認為是自米格爾德塞萬提斯(他在17世紀時期創作了《唐吉訶德》)以來，最受歡迎的西班牙語作家。
Garca Mrquez won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1982 for his novels and short stories. When he won the award, he called Latin America a source of insatiablecreativity, full of sorrow and beauty, of which this roving and nostalgic Colombian is but one cipher more, singled out by fortune. Poets and beggars, musicians and prophets, warriors and scoundrels, all creatures of that unbridled reality, we have had to ask but little of imagination, for our crucial problem has been a lack of conventional means torender our lives believable. He is credited with helping to invent the literary genre of magical realism.
加西亞馬爾克斯憑借他的長篇小說和短篇小說獲得了1982年的諾貝爾文學獎。他在領獎時，表示拉丁美洲是一個永不枯竭的、充滿不幸與美好事物的創作源泉，而我這個游浪和思鄉的哥倫比亞人，只不過是一個被命運圈定的字碼而已。詩人和乞丐、音樂家和預言家、武士和惡棍，總之，我們，一切隸屬于這個非同尋常的現實的人，很少需要求助于想象力。因為對我們最大的挑戰，是我們沒有足夠的常規手段來讓人們相信我們生活的現實。他被視為文學魔幻現實主義的創始人。
