THIS COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES AND VIGNETTES MARKED ERNEST HEMINGWAY'S AMERICAN DEBUT AND MADE HIM FAMOUSWhen "In Our Time" was published in 1925, it was praised by Ford Madox Ford, John Dos Passos, and F. Scott Fitzgerald for its simple and precise use of language to convey a wide range of complex emotions, and it earned Hemingway a place beside Sherwood Anderson and Gertrude Stein among the most promising American writers of that period. "In Our Time" contains several early Hemingway classics, including the famous Nick Adams stories "Indian Camp," "The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife," "The Three Day Blow," and "The Battler," and introduces readers to the hallmarks of the Hemingway style: a lean, tough prose -- enlivened by an car for the colloquial and an eye for the realistic that suggests, through the simplest of statements, a sense of moral value and a clarity of heart.Now recognized as one of the most original short story collections in twentieth-century literature, "In Our Time" provides a key to Hemingway's later works.

He did not understand English but he had sweat all the time the row was going on.
他明白,若想有听众,他非吹牛不可,等他说过两回谎,自己竟也对战争起了反感,甚至光描述就浑身不自在。那些谎言,害他对战争时经历过的一切全然厌恶。曾经,他一回想过往,思绪便获冷静清明;他本来有别条路走,却干了这事,既然身为凡人的他不得不为,他便轻松自然地干了,那些记忆却失去原有冷静、珍贵的价值,在脑海中溃散。
