The Will
On November 27, 1895, Alfred Nobel signed his last will in Paris. When it was opened and read after his death, the will caused a lot of controversy both in Sweden and internationally, as Nobel had left much of his wealth for the establishment of a prize! His family opposed the establishment of the Nobel Prize, and the prize awarders he named refused to do what he had requested in his will. It was five years before the first Nobel Prize could be awarded in 1901.

在此，摘录诺贝尔在遗嘱里对诺贝尔文学奖和诺贝尔和平奖的定义（瑞典语和英语）：
en del den som inom litteraturen har producerat det utmärktaste i idealisk rigtning; och en del åt den som har verkat mest eller best för folkens förbrödrande och afskaffande eller minskning af stående armeer samt bildande och spridande af fredskongresser.
one part to the person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction; and one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.
在此，我以敬重的心情，作出慎重的翻译尝试。诺贝尔的遗嘱的原意，以其原文为准。
一部分（利息所得）赠于个人，其在文学领域写出了最杰出的、遵循一个理想的方向的作品；一部分（利息所得）赠于个人，其为国与国之间的手足般友爱之情，为废除或裁减常备军队，为组织并促进和平会议作出了最多的、或最好的工作。
我认为，毫无疑问，诺贝尔是一位理想主义者。
