　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　A Farewell to Arms
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　永别了，武器

......Ernest Hemingway Hemingway combines austere realism and poetic language to present a powerful argument against war and to tell a touching love story at the same time. Possessed of the most remarkable time sense of the period between wars, his disillusioned temperament and technical skill have influenced a whole generation of writer. In spite of its hard-boiled realism of detail and its tragic ending, A Farewell to Arms is nevertheless an idealistic book. The novel was dramatized by Laurence Stallings and was made into a motion picture.

　　海明威以严峻的现实主义结合富有诗意的语言，对战争作了有力的抨击，同时又叙述了一个扣人心弦的爱情故事。由于对两次大战之间那个时期具有特别杰出的时间观念，他的那种看破红尘的气质和熟练的技巧影响了整个一代作家。《别了，武器》一书虽然在细节描写方面刻意求实，而且有一个悲剧性的结局，但它仍然是一部理想主义的著作。本书曾经劳伦斯•斯托林兹改编为剧本，并拍成电影。

　　Lieutenant Frederic Henry was a young American attached to an Italian ambulance unit on the Italian front. An offensive was soon to begin, and when Henry returned to the front from leave he learned from his friend, Lieutenant Rinaldi, that a group of British nurses had arrived in his absence to set up a British hospital unit. Rinaldi introduced him to nurse Catherine Barkley.
