欧内斯特·海明威/Ernest Hemingway
欧内斯特·海明威（1899—1961），20世纪美国著名小说家，生于伊利诺伊州芝加哥市郊的橡树园附近。他的作品风格独具魅力，在世界范围内产生了广泛影响。1926年发表的《太阳照样升起》是海明威获得声誉的第一部长篇小说，并成为“迷惘的一代”的代表作品。“一战”给海明威留下了难以愈合的心灵创伤，为他创作举世名作《永别了，武器》提供了素材。1952年，中篇小说《老人与海》出版，轰动文坛，并使他获得了诺贝尔文学奖。
In a calm sea every man is a pilot.
But all sunshine without shade,all pleasure without pain,is not li fe at all.Take the lot of the happiest--it is a tangled yarn.Bereaveme nts and blessings,one following another,make us sad and blessed by tur ns.Even death itself makes life more loving.Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life,under the shadows of sorrow an d loss.
In the affairs of life or of business,it is not intellect that tell s so much as character,not brains so much as heart,not genius so much as self-control,patience,and discipline,regulated by judgment.
I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more serio usly within begins to live more simply without.In an age of extravaganc e and waste,I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.
To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true r epentance.
There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man.The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.
风平浪静的大海上，每个人都是领航员。
但是，只有阳光而无阴影，只有欢乐而无痛苦，那就不是人生。以最幸福的人的生活为例——它是一团纠缠在一起的麻线。丧亲之痛和幸福祝愿，彼此相接，使我们一会儿伤心一会儿高兴，甚至死亡本身也会使生命更加可亲。在人生的清醒时刻，在哀痛和伤心的阴影之下，人们与真实的自我最接近。
