Alfred Nobel was an original personality: inventor, cosmopolitan, pacifist. Concern for the future and belief in scientific progress provided the motive for the foundation of the Prize which, in our time, is one of the most coveted of honours. But times have changed and closer consideration shows that the award today neither corresponds to Nobel's intentions nor does it take into account the circumstances of modern sciences. These developments could not have been foreseen at the turn of the century. Attempts to actualize the Foundation meet growing criticism.
阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔是个独特的人物:发明家、世界主义者、和平主义者。对未来的关切和对科学进步的信念为该奖项的设立提供了动机,在我们这个时代,该奖项是最令人觊觎的荣誉之一。但时代已经改变,仔细考量会发现,如今的该奖项既不符合诺贝尔的初衷,也没有考虑到现代科学的情况。这些发展在世纪之交时是无法预见的。实现该基金会宗旨的种种尝试遭到了越来越多的批评。
