The Killers殺手們（英文版）

滿篇對話且不標明說話人，讀得確實有點累。結局也戛然而止，快得讓人愣神。但或許這正是海明威的厲害——用極簡的對白和突然的收尾。

After reading Hemingway’s second short story, I have a light sense of his style. He often ends abruptly, leaving space for reader’s imagination.

“You better not have anything to do with it at all,” Sam, the cook, said. “You better stay way out of it.” - “Mixing up in this ain’t going to get you anywhere,” the cook said. “You stay out of it.” - “I’m through with all that running around.” - Double-crossed somebody

昆汀《低俗小說》等一系列黑幫電影致敬了這本小說兩個殺手的幽默對話

因爲是海明威，所以我們不會判定這個故事是個爛尾。生活就是這麼戲劇化，又沒那麼戲劇化。

He created a vivid and tense scene with such simple words. However, I never appreciate a story that has no endings.

第一次讀入神，再讀就是消遣時間。

大概是文學造詣不行，讀不懂海明威所謂的冰山理論下寫出來的文章。 完全不懂想表達啥

看起來很累，人物完全搞不清，我是對照着翻譯版本看的，但是翻譯版本沒有開頭。我看這本書完全是爲了看英語，從學習英語的角度，很適合作爲英文原版書閱讀的起點。

還行，能感覺出語句簡單輕鬆不花哨累贅，故事給人留白空間大。通過對話，一些行爲和少量剋制的外貌描寫來刻畫和區分人物。但同樣作爲短篇，感覺cat in the rain好看一點
