太阳照常升起:The Sun Also Rises（英文版）

I love how deep and clean it cuts. They drink, travel, quarrel, laugh. The cafés are full, the glasses heavy, but the silence grows. “Couldn’t we live together, Brett? Couldn’t we just live together?” “I don’t think so. I’d just tromper you with everybody. You couldn’t stand it.” “I stand it now.” It’s not strength. It’s a man swallowing himself. So much love wasted in circles. Brett seeks pleasure but finds no joy. Jake watches with a cool face and a needle inside his chest. The bullfights, the trains, the sunlight—screens for an ache with no exit. She gives just enough—a glance, a word—to make men feel chosen, then drifts away, leaving only longing. He knows she loves him, but believes she only wanted what she couldn’t have. That’s not it. She simply had no way out, so she tried to burn herself into ashes. She’s thirty-four now, with beautiful lines at the corners of her eyes. Beautiful, magnetic, and utterly fallen—she is a true goner, a goner with his heart. At the end they ride through Madrid. “We could have had such a damned good time together,” she says. “Isn’t it pretty to think so?” he says. The sun rises. No churches, no savior. There’s nothing new under the sun.

Hemingway’s spare prose weaves a poignant tapestry of disillusionment and quiet resilience, making The Sun Also Rises a timeless meditation on finding meaning amid uncertainty. The characters’ quiet struggles—their longing for connection, their quiet courage to keep going—resonate deeply, a gentle reminder that even in life’s fragmented moments, there’s grace in perseverance. It’s a book that lingers not with grand drama, but with soft truths about human resilience, leaving one with a warm appreciation for the quiet strength that carries us through.

书名：The Sun Also Rises 作者：[美]欧内斯特·海明威 篇幅：618页 用时：约十小时 查词：138个 很具有海明威特色的长篇小说，迷茫中堕落，酒中寻乐，真可谓醉生梦死的生活。还有些人不顾家人在生活中寻找刺激，比如文中有人因斗牛而丧失生命（没有了解背景，读起来有些晦涩难懂，斗牛完事后就被杀死，当时这种残忍的死亡被认为艺术？那可真是残忍）。 因为主角的感情色彩不是喜欢的类型，断断续续一个月才看完，差点弃书了（个人不喜欢这乱糟糟的感情，给我的感觉有些“丧”）。不过这本书句式比《老人与海》简单很多，俚语较多，可供学习。 书摘 1：Don't get sore ; I don't mean it. 不要不高兴，我不是故意的。 2：every once in a while. 每隔一段时间。 3：“Don't you ever get the feeling that all your life is going by and you're not taking advantage of it? Do you realize you've lived nearly half the time you have to live already? ” 你有没有过这样的感觉:你的一生就这样过去了，而你却没有好好利用它?你意识到你已经活了将近一半的时间了吗? 4：Don't you be rash. 别那么鲁莽 5：Don't be cross with Robert,  别生罗伯特的气 6：Brett was damned good-looking. 布雷特长得帅极了。 7：At one time or another I had probably considered it from most of its various angles.  我可能从不同的角度考虑过这个问题。. 8： get in a frightful row. 吵得不可开交 9：I lay awake thinking and my mind jumping around.  我躺在床上醒着思考，脑子里一片混乱。 10：“Don't be an ass.” 别犯傻了 11： It is awfully easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it is another thing.  在白天对什么都不动感情是极为容易的，但在晚上就是另外一回事了。 12：There was the pleasant early-morning feeling of a hot day.  有一种令人愉快的大热天的清晨感觉。 13:This is on me. 我请客 14：He just gets on my nerves. 他让我心烦。 15：You've got hell's own drag with the concierge now. 你现在已经和看门人闹得不可开交了。 16：Don't be an ass. 别犯傻了。 17：let's not get daunted. 我们不要气馁。 18：You can't blame him such a hell of a lot.  你不能怪他太多。 19：He said it with an air of superior knowledge that irritated both of us. 他说这话时带着一种高人一等的神气，这使我们俩都很恼火。 20：You've got a rotten chance.  你的机会渺茫。 21：What a damn-fool thing to do.  做了一件多么愚蠢的事。 22：It sounds like a swell life,  这生活听起来真棒。 23：Our stay on earth is not for long. Let us rejoice and believe and give thanks. 我们停留的时间终究不长。让我们欢喜，让我们相信，让我们感恩。 24：All our biggest business men have been dreamers. Look at Ford. Look at President Coolidge. Look at Rockefeller. Look at Jo Davidson 我们所有的大商人都是梦想家。看看福特。看看柯立芝总统。看洛克菲勒。看看乔·戴维森 25：What rotten luck for me.  我真倒霉。 26：It reflects discredit on me. 这使我名誉扫地。 27： you might not be such a bloody ass.  你也许不是个混蛋 28：You were quite green, Robert. 罗伯特，你是新手。 29：she was telling him not to be a ruddy ass. 她告诉他不要当个混蛋。 30：have such a hell of a happy life  过着如此幸福的生活 31: I'm going to get a little sleep. 我要去睡个小觉。 32：Let's roll for it. 我们开始吧。 33：I can't stand it to think my life is going so fast and I'm not really living it. 我无法忍受我的生活过得这么快，我并没有真正地生活。 34：You can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another. There's nothing to that. 从一个地方搬到另一个地方，你无法摆脱自己。没什么了不起的。 35：It is awfully easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it is another thing. 在白天对什么都不动感情是极为容易的，但在晚上就是另外一回事了。

如果说菲兹是糜丽宴会最高潮到最后结束的落寞，海明威就是第二天残存酒意中回忆宴会的空洞。《太阳照常升起》整体气若游丝，像一种闷热、略带沙砾的过曝镜头，让人长久注视着平淡景致后，强烈的白光突袭上来，刺痛双眼又什么也看不见，最后平静于隐有幻波的黑暗眼睑中，缓缓睁开又是往常的景色。所行的道路阳光普照，阴影独存于身体器官里；所以刀光剑影的生活短暂，浮光掠影的迷惘永存。 我想谈谈海明威的“淡隐喻”。他以言简意赅出名，但这种轻飞的叙述不完全脱离作者意识的参与。文中也存在少量提纲挈领的句子作为定音鼓垫在底下，才使得故事节奏不只是一堆虚无灰烬的幻灭，而有点像走遍成山的灰烬之后、由作者伸脚来踩灭最后一星余热。跟卡夫卡、福克纳等比起来，这些议论或隐喻过于浅淡，所以很难察觉。 如第一部中，Cohn提议旅行的原因是“I can't stand it to think me life is going so fast and I'm not really living it.”（想着人生如此飞逝，我却从未真正活过，我实在是忍无可忍。）这句话是全文中极少数的纲领文字，看似若无其事，实则给所有人的迷惘根源打了地桩。它放在Brett的滥情及对Romero的疯狂上同样适用，Brett需要爱与被爱、需要接触纯真的阳光来“寻找真正活着的感觉”。它提示了二人的爱情在迷惘的生活中同气连枝的地方。这种句子很容易矫揉造作，而海明威最妙的就是将这句话交付给Cohn这个犹太作家，尤其是在密布了这么阴云之后，才如闪电般亮出来，自然而毫无斧凿痕迹。 再如第二部中，同伴们一一睡去，Jake独自失眠，突然冒出一句“There is no reason why because it is dark you should look at things differently from when it is light.”（你没有理由因为身处黑暗就和身处光亮所见不同。）这是他对身处混乱状态的控诉，也是对The sun also rises（所以无论如何，太阳照常升起）的一次小声阐释。 Don Manuel在Fiesta上耍烟火时，“The people shouted as each new luminous paper bubble careened, caught fire, and fell.”（人们在尖叫，随着每一个新点亮的纸泡摇曳、着火、坠落。）就像一副绚烂生命迅速化为灰烬的群体肖像。在第三部Jake回到巴黎后，他搭车去酒店，“The car was powdered with dust. I rubbed the rod-case through the dust. It seemed the last thing that connected me with Spain and the fiesta.”（车上遍是尘埃。我擦了擦灰尘里的钓竿袋，它似乎是联结我与西班牙、狂欢节的最后之物）又与灰烬形成互文。 在第二部的结尾，旅行团四散零落，以这样一句结束：“The three of us sat the table, and it seemed as though about six people were missing.”（我们三人坐在桌边，仿佛约有六个人不见了。）将整个Fiesta收束，仿佛从未发生过，来来去去的人也什么痕迹都不留下，并留下了本该属于更多人的空旷寂寥。 海明威和菲兹一样都是长比喻大师，后者的喻体像闪闪发光的宝石，初读就有惊艳之感；而前者的线索更像是深邃的种子，把复读的滋味酿得回味无穷，因为恰恰是简约令其真实意图不明，带来了反复咀嚼的意趣。

在微风和绿草的院子里刷书。失落的一代，the lost generation丧的那个劲儿很容易跟现在的生活共呜。好酒喝了，好风景赏了，还是丧。院外传来汽车喇叭的嗷嗷声，是那些反trump的白左们，劳工节他们不差激情。然而我不能跟他们共情，只觉得他们吵死人。我想去巴黎和西班牙过虚无的舒适生活。这种生活会产出奢侈品广告里模特的冷淡表情。知道这种“高级感”是万恶的资产阶级故意画来挑逗中产阶级的，内心还是充满向往。知道自己过不来beatnic凯鲁亚克的穷禅生活，那么有钱的禅意生活，就像日本的温泉酒店，足以抚慰心灵，让日常工作的无意义感暂时消解，给打工挣钱的日子产生一点追求。这就是中年危机么？ 这本书丧，几乎是ntr，但是很美。清淡爽口的开头，浓墨重彩的下半部，无可奈何的结尾。那种缓缓的丧可以映射到生活的很多部分。客居他国，爱而不得，多金而空虚，唯有一杯又一杯来缓解。命运的一个随机动作，让爱人的肉体贴近了自己几分，作为舔狗已经足矣，即便同室离心，又能奈何？

久闻海明威大名，果然语言简明，原版更能体会到，写的多是“发生了的事情”。“冰山一角”的文风很像《文心雕龙》里面强调的第一手资料，即经书，文尽而意无穷。 29号开始听的，9天时间。拿来训练听力的，1.7~2倍速放完了，边做健身边放（俄罗斯转体累死我（（，从一开始的完全听不懂，到现在的可以无字幕看外网视频；从一开始俯卧撑一个都做不到，到现在可以随时做15+，还有一点点腹肌（！。六级词汇过了一遍，这几天再复习复习。可能里面的精神真的有被传递到一些，映射了一些在我身上叭 行文主调是寻欢作乐，却会有突如其来猛刺中内心的句子； “Don't you ever get the feeling that all your life is going by and you're not taking advantage of it? Do you realize you've lived nearly half the time you have to live already? ” “你可知？岁月如梭，囿于枷锁，碌碌无为无所得；你可是？腐朽之途，恍惚间，半程已逝。” “You're only a case of arrested development.” “你仅仅是囿于过去成就的囚徒” 想起一句相似的歌词: “ I play and swim today as I am left behind in every way by the train." “ So dancing the night away！” 整本书最终确实传递给我这样一种感受： 东边的太阳确实照常升起，但今天，心中的太阳，你，将它升起了么？

总觉得这本书的书名翻译不太准确，直译应该是“太阳也会升起”，据说出自圣经，从圣经原文联系到书的内容，才觉得逻辑顺了。The sun also rises as one generation passed away and another comes, but the earth abides forever. 类似于我们喜欢把年轻人比作初升的太阳，这本书也在讲世代的更替吧，尽管很多书评说作者是在哀叹迷失的一代，但是否换个角度像Romero和自行车赛手们一样有朝气的新生代终会成长起来，只要我们还脚踏着这片土地。（海明威的书很适合作英语读物啊，通俗易懂） “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth forever... The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to the place where he arose... The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits... All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.” Ecclesiastes 一代过去，一代又来，地却永远长存。日头出来，日头落下，急归所出之地。风往南刮，又向北转，不住地旋转，而且返回转行原道。江河都往海里流，海却不满。江河从何处流，仍归还何处。 ——《圣经·传道书》

英文小说看的少，不是很能准确评断写作风格啊技巧啊这类东西，只是模糊的从一些描写上感受到了情绪，松散的，关切的，最打动我的是非常有力非常intense的一个场景，Jake和Brett坐在看台上看Romero在斗牛场上斗牛的一幕。那时候Romero刚因为对Brett的感情和前拳击运动员Cohn打了一架，带伤上阵。他知道Brett坐在台上看着，但从始至终他没有向台上看一眼。太喜欢这段了。never once did he look up. 看到全书1/3的时候我基本放弃了寻找全书的中心思想和概括主要内容，的确也不是所有的书都是为了说明什么，可能仅仅作出诉说这个动作就够了。记录一段生活，表达一种状态，发泄一种情绪，都是诉说的动机。 The sun also rises，名字起得真好。写这个读后感的时候，正好放到那首我超级喜欢的the sun is shining down。作为微信读书上加入书架的第200本书，还是很不错的。

战争过去了，人们理所当然地该过上好日子了。 可是这好日子却没有支点，浮华，循环，无聊，只能在庸俗中找点乐子。 我其实挺讨厌这样的人和生活的，就像布莱特一样，她谁都可以爱，但没有一个人能爱得长久。如果总是逢场作戏，追求那么点感官刺激，人就跟动物一样，甚至还不如动物。牛和斗牛士的生命力就在于锚定目标、拼尽全力。 我想Jake也对这种生活感到厌烦，他作为主人公、叙述者，一直是一个理性、周全的存在，他愿意长久地陪伴一个人，他似乎是朋友中唯一一个克制而温柔的人。 可是他对这种生活无能为力。或许他也想改变，成为Cohn或Romero，放手去爱去恨，但是他不能。也许是他的无能限制了他，也许是对布莱特无可奈何只有陪伴才是长久的。他很愤怒吧，但却被压制在客观冷静的叙述之下。 我觉得Jake就像被驯服的公牛，乖顺得像一只小羊羔，对朋友对爱人很少说不。 为什么呢？为什么这样无奈呢？ 同样是现代人的我们，是不是也只能在庸俗的日常中消磨日子。 我本来是在其他地方看到了有关Romero的片段，才来读这本书的。但有点可惜，我没看到很多关于他的精神和意志的描述。他是完美的雕像，有着Jake他们没有的生命力和朝气，这样才能让布莱特爱上，可仅此而已了。 其实很希望能在书中看到真正的生命力的。可能《老人与海》这种被岁月打磨产出的精品才能拥有真正的意志吧，年轻的海明威还不能做到。 不过Cohn真的太搞笑了，没想到作品一开头就铺垫的拳击，要结束时才知道用到哪里了。他一挑二的场景我想了很久才想出个词来形容——倔驴打挺，真的太滑稽了。后来还有倔驴抓奸，倔驴落泪哈哈哈哈哈。这种人放现实中我真的会谢，怎么有人那么会给自己加戏啊。

The language feature of the novel is actually very basic, no advanced words or syntax in sight, sometimes it can be even very "incoherent" for the lack of conjunctions. But still it does not guaranteened the easiness of understanding----- inundating American slangs drive me crazy!!!!  Seems like it is written by a drunk man to me lol.  And the content just kinda proved it---- cause what i can see is nothing more than a flamboyant society where people gave in to indulgence not only in sex but in intemperate. The beaten generation it is called. Just like Fitzgeral's jazz age.  Very distinctive an age but not a pleasure to reexamine cause it pushes the boundaries of our sobriety.  Maybe I'm too conservative😂, as boring as a Puritan Shoot, as i am writing, i find my review is quite diffusive as well lol.  Sure sure, no right to judge Hemingway[捂脸] Ohhhhh btw! What is interesting is that tho seems like i do not like the lack of abstinence, but i found the Great Gatsby extremely fascinating!!! Maybe the core problem is just the languages----- the great Gatsby is written in a language so impressive that i can only call it "divine beauty"😍✨✨✨
