2、hort story about two young people who witness how time can change the world and the people in it. Hemingway uses this story to convey how this change happens all the time, and however desperately you cling to the “presen

3、t“, the present only lasts for that one, fleeting moment you realize it is there, then it is gone, past, and it can never be present again. To understand this message, one must look at the way Hemingway writes this story

4、, how he uses the broken mill, the fish's not striking, and the characters in themselves to tell us a story far beyond what we read. The broken mill represents Nick and Marjorie's broken relationship. Once, the m

5、ill was the center of a lumbering town, Hortons Bay. The town was a place with people, shops, and activity. In the present of the story, the mill lies deserted, as does the town, for the mill was what had made Hortons Ba

6、y a town in the first place. Similarly, Nick and Marjorie were younger once, younger and more careless. Clearly, they are not old, but it seems that quite a few years have passed since they met. At that time, they did no

9、s. As Nick and Marjorie now row along the shore, they troll for fish, but they do not get any. The fish's not striking is a symbol of Nick's lack of interest in their relationship. “'They're feeding,'

10、 Marjorie said. 'But they won't strike,' Nick said.“ There are probably things Nick and Marjorie could do, there are probably ways they could try to fix their relationship, but Nick has lost interest; the fis

11、h will not strike anymore, and love is not fun anymore. The love is there, but it has ceased to appeal to Nick. The good old past simply isn't good enough anymore. Marjorie, on the other hand, clings to what is left

12、and still hopes for the best. “Marjorie did not reel in until the boat touched the shore.“ She does not want to give up on catching those fish, and she does not want to give up on Nick. In this way, Hemingway, as third-p

13、erson narrator, uses the characters to make his point, as each of them represents either past, present, or future. Marjorie is past; she clings on for dear life to what was, and does not want to see that the world around

14、 her has changed. She describes the mill as a castle: a grand monument of her beloved past. Nick is present; he is confused and hurt and realizes that he cannot go on living like he does; he cannot go on living in the pa

15、st, with Marjorie. Instead, he looks to the future; Bill is a symbol of what is to come, of something new, of something better. 安徽大學 研究生英語讀寫譯教程 下冊 課文翻譯 QQ 414952294 3 4. … carrying with it
