They asked me, where did they go? The trees, the salamander, the tropical fish, Edgar, the poppas and mommas, Matthew and Tony, where did they go? And I said, I don\\'t know, I don\\'t know. And they said, who knows? and I said, nobody knows. And they said, is death that which gives meaning to life? And I said no, life is that which gives meaning to life.
他们问我说，那些东西都去哪儿了？树苗、火蜥蜴、热带鱼、小狗埃德加、爸爸妈妈们、马修和托尼，他们到底去哪儿了？我说，我不知道，我也不知道 。他们问，那谁知道呢？我说，没人知道 。他们说，是死亡给生活带来了意义吗？我说，不是，是生命为生活赋予了意义 。

内容简介
Hemingway’s writing can be minimalistic, a quality that lends itself well to short stories. In fact, Washington Post\\'s books editor, Ron Charles, has said that Hemingway’s short stories are better than his novels.
海明威的写作手法一向颇为简洁，这一特点尤其适合于短篇小说 。事实上，《华盛顿邮报》的图书编辑罗恩·查尔斯就曾评价说，海明威的短篇小说比他的长篇小说更优秀 。
You’ve probably read, or at least heard about, “Hills Like White Elephants,” a cryptic conversation between a man and a woman. “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” is another classic, in which two waiters prepare for the end of the evening.
你可能读过或者至少听说过《白象似的群山》，那是发生在一男一女之间的一段晦涩对白 。而《一个干净明亮的地方》则是另一个经典，讲述了两个男服务生准备结束一个夜晚的故事 。

呆在餐馆里的两个侍者知道这老人有点儿醉了，他虽然是个好主顾，可是，他们知道，如果他喝得太醉了，他会不付账就走，所以他们一直在留神他 。
