主题语境——人与自我　追逐梦想

Ernest Hemingway (1899—1961),born in Oak Park,Illinois,started his career① as a writer in a newspaper office in Kansas City at the age of seventeen.After the United States entered the First World War,he joined a volunteer ambulance② unit in the Italian army.Serving at the front,he was wounded,and spent considerable③ time in hospitals.After his return to the United States,he became a reporter for Canadian and American newspapers and was soon sent back to Europe to cover such events as the Greek Revolution.

During the twenties,Hemingway became a member of the group of expatriate④ Americans in Paris,which he described in his first important work,The Sun Also Rises (1926).Equally successful was A Farewell to Arms (1929),the study of an American ambulance officer’s disillusionment(醒悟) in the war and his role as a deserter.Hemingway used his experiences as a reporter during Spain Civil War as the background for his most ambitious⑤ novel,For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940).Among his later works,the most outstanding is the short novel,The Old Man and the Sea (1952),the story of an old fisherman’s journey,his long and lonely struggle with a fish and the sea,and his victory in defeat.?

Hemingway—himself a great sportsman—liked to portray soldiers,hunters,and bullfighters—tough,at times primitive⑥ people whose courage and honesty are set against the brutal ways of modern society,and who in this confrontation(对抗) lose hope and faith.His straightforward prose,his spare dialogue,and his predilection (偏爱) for understatement are particularly effective in his short stories,some of which are collected in Men Without Women (1927) and The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories (1938).Hemingway died in Idaho in 1961.
