e, and his colloquial style is very popular in European and American literary circles since the late 20th century. John O’Hara, who made a memorial speech for Hemingway on the New York Times of July3, 1961, held that in history no one else can directly affected so many writers,especially the young writers( Dong Hengxun 383). Hemingway is considered as an author who deeply affects the writing style of both the long novels and the short stories of American. Now that the influence of Hemingway’s writing style which brings a big reputation to him is so great, it is quite worth discussing it from his worksHills Like White Elephants.Ⅲ.Discussion on the Writing Style in Hills Like White ElephantsA. Reallife DialogueMilan Kundera pays a pliment to Hemingway in his Les testaments trahis that Hemingway captures the real dialogue structure. Assuredly, being different from such writers who structure their works in absolutely literary language, Hemingway creates a kind of reallife dialogue style, the obvious feature of which is that it goes on face to face without narrating by the third party. Actually, the dialogue in Hills Like White Elephants is just a fragment of the dialogue in actual life so that the first impression the reader gets when he starts reading it is that he were listening. Looking at the following dialogue chosen from it:And if I do it you39。小說雖看似簡單,卻極富藝術(shù)性。英語畢業(yè)論文 論《白象似的群山》中海明威獨特的寫作風(fēng)格AbstractBeing distinguished from many great American writers, Hemingway is famous for his unique writing style. He changes the traditional literary works from tedious style into a kind of concise “telegraph style”. As a matter of fact, his short story Hills like White Elephants fully reflects his unique and classic writing style. The story seems simple, but actually artful. Hemingway captures the essence of the plain dialogue of usual life, so a reader may be under an illusion that he was present at the site of the story. And he adds sentiment into concise language. In Hills like White Elephants, the perfect symbolism about “white elephant” and the characteristic ending constructed by Hemingway further gives prominence to his ability in language. Especially, his famous Iceberg Theory is employed perfectly in this story. Hemingway creates a unique writing style that brings a great influence to American letters, even to Europe and all over the world.Key WordsDialogue。他抓住了人們?nèi)粘υ捊Y(jié)構(gòu)的精髓,給讀者創(chuàng)造了一種身臨其境的感覺。ll be happy and things will be like they were and you39。ll do it. Because I don39。t really look like white elephants. I just meant the coloring of their skin through the trees. (qtd. in Long Maozhong, Yan Jinglan and Wang Hui 385) It stands for that the girl’s fantasy about love is shattered. Of course, the love also disappears. To sum up, the symbolism of “white elephants” is very successful.英語畢業(yè)論文 viiD. Characteristic EndingReferring to Hemingway’s writing style, we cannot help but talk about the characteristic ending in his novels. Traditionally, at the end of a novel, the plot should reach its climax and the main figure’s final destiny should be mentioned, even not mentioned directly, but obvious to the reader. For example, in Balzac’s Old Goriot, the ending likes this:It was growing dusk, the damp twilight fretted his nerves。 the whole story consists of short sentences。t worry about that because it39。 there are several reasons for it. First of all, as mentioned before, in 1917, Hemingway worked as a journalist for the Kansas City Star, which is one of the best newspapers in American at that time. This newspaper asks for using short sentences, vivid and active language and reporting directly, so Hemingway learned that writing style should be trained as life. Of course, this experience benefits the formation of his socalled “telegraph style” greatly. Secondly, being under the illusion that the war is fine and attractive, Hemingway began his experience as a soldier in the First World War, even later in other wars, but in the battlefields, he was seriously hit. Bloody war shatters his dream。而他的短篇小說《白象似的群山》完全體現(xiàn)了他的這種獨特而經(jīng)典的寫作風(fēng)格。 conciseness。而其簡潔的文字后面也蘊藏了豐富的情感。ll love me?I love you now. You know I love you.英語畢業(yè)論文 ivI know. But if I do it, then it will be nice again if I say things are like white elephants, and you39。t care about me.What do you mean? I don39。 he gazed down into the grave and the tears he shed were drawn from him by the sacred emotion, a single hearted sorrow. When such tears fall on earth, their radiance reaches heaven. And with that tear that fell on Father Goriot’s grave……He went a few paces further……His eyes turned almost eagerly to the space between the column of the Place Vendome and the cupola of the Invalids。t want you to do it if you feel that way. (qtd. in Long Maozhong, Yan Jinglan and Wang Hui 386 )Omitting all the description on the speaking tone, facial expression and actions, the dialogue with the form of only answers between the two figures es to the reader as if he were listening. That is the essence of the reallife dialogue which is different from the dialogue in absolutely literary language that focuses attention on the action and expression especially. For example, in Henry James’s Daisy Miller, he writes:“I should think it might be arranged,” said Winterbourne. “Couldn’t you get some one to stay for the afternoon with Randolph?”Miss Miller looked at him a moment, and then very placidly, “I wish you would stay with him!” she said.Winterbourne hesitated a moment. “I should much rather go to Chillon with you.”“With me?” asked the young girl with the same placidity. (qtd. in Long Maozhong, Yan Jinglan and Wang Hui 329 )Obviously, because the third party, namely, the author joins in the dialogue,
