《雨中的猫》是美国作家海明威的一部短篇小说。故事表面上只是一个日常生活片段的平实讲述,一些景物和周围环境的静态描写,一些简单的人物对白,少有形容词和副词。但这一篇千余字的小说,却是社会的一个缩影。不仅反映了作者的心情、态度,甚至也含蓄得表现出当时女性在男权社会下的社会地位问题。作者用含蓄的手法来表现人物和交待故事的,这就给读者留下更大的空间去发现和思考,很好得符合海明威之后提出的“冰山原则”。 Cat in the Rain is a short story by American writer Hemingway. On the surface of the story is just a piece of everyday life tells the story, some scenes and the static description of the surrounding environment, some simple characters dialogue, adjectives and adverbs rare. However, this one more than a thousand words of novels, but it is a microcosm of society. Not only reflects the author’s mood, attitude, and even implicitly show the status of women in the patriarchal society’s social status. The author uses subtle techniques to express his characters and account for the story, leaving more space for the reader to discover and think, which is very much in line with the “iceberg principle” proposed by Hemingway.
