The Old Man and the Sea Can you translate the following works?A man can be destroyed but not defeated. The Noble Prize Winner Hemingway was one of the great US writers of the 20th century and a giant of modern literature. His novel The Old Man and the Sea which describes an epic battle between an old, experienced fisherman and a large marlin helped him win the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954. 一个人可以被毁灭,却不能被打败。One of his famous sayings: Hemingway’s style, with its consistent use of short, concrete, direct prose and of scenes consisting exclusively of dialogue, gives his novels and short stories a distinctive accessibility that is immediately identifiable with the author.
Owing to the direct character of both his style and his life-style, there is a tendency to cast Hemingway as a “representative” American writer whose work reflects the bold, forthright and rugged individualism of the American spirit in action.
Hemingway’s Writing Style Variously, the term is used for the period from the end of World War I to the beginning of the Great Depression, though in the US it is used for the generation of young people who came of age during and shortly after World War I, alternatively known as the World War I generation. And Hemingway was a representative of the lost generation. The term was popularized by him in his novel.The Lost GenerationWork in groups to make up a story based on the words and expressions given below.Your story may begin like this: One morning, a nine-year-old boy...Have you ever had a high fever before?
