Hemingway』s writing style
The writing style of Hemingway is social. He usually describes his own true experience in this novel. Hemingway creates many 「Hemingway heroes」. They live in great pressure, they suffer from painful physical wound and terrible mental wound, but they always keep stances of manhood, such as Santiago in 「the old man and the sea」. From reading his novel, we are deeply moved by the characters of the novel and their actions and thought can greatly inspire us
Hemingway uses simple, short sentence are often connected by 「and」, 「then」 and sometimes 「so」. They are easily understood and can express his feeling correctly. Hemingway uses few adjectives and adverbs in his novels and he never give over-embellish and abstract to the sentence because it is hypocritical that the book announces itself as Hemingway』s: 「he was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish.」 「the words are plain, and the structure, two tightly worded independent clauses conjoined by a simple conjunction, is ordinary, traits that characterize Hemingway』s literary style.
Hemingway also uses iceberg approach-all meaning is found below the surface. The common sentences used by Hemingway always have special implication. We must the background of the story and we must understand Hemingway well, if we want to get the true implication of Hemingway』s novels. He was extremely grudging his description, he had the ability to combine simple realism of narrative with complex symbolism of image at once. The implied meaning was left for various explanations and in a sense a far-reaching effect was obtained .for example, in the novel 「the old man and the sea」, there are many symbols. If we plainly understand the symbols as physical things, we might lose the essence of the novel and be misled to think that this is a simple story about the old man』s fighting with the sharks. In the novel, heingway chooses an old fisherman as his hero, and he uses the old man to replace his real name Santiago. This makes us see that the old man is not a person solely of himself. hemingway chooses sea as the background, the sea both as the opposing and harmonious force, but not simply a true sea.
On the other hand, the reader may draw some inspiration through applying his own experiences into the understanding of hemingway』s themes and eventually find esthetic satisfactions in his careful reading although the process needs some effort. Besides, hemingway often uses symbolism in his novels.」 The old man the sea」, for example, looks like a ll and meaningless novel when the readers don』t read it carefully. But after reading, we may move by the 「masculine」 of the hero-Santiago, and love the book very much.
Ⅳ 英語的寫作特色一般有哪些

Ⅳ Jane Austen的寫作風格（英文）
Jane Austen (1775-1817)
English writer, who first gave the novel its modern character through the treatment of everyday life. Although Austen was widely read in her lifetime, she published her works anonymously. The most urgent preoccupation of her bright, young heroines is courtship and finally marriage. Austen herself never married. Her best-known books include PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (1813) and EMMA (1816). Virginia Woolf called Austen "the most perfect artist among women."
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." (from Pride and Prejudice, 1813)
Jane Austen was born in Steventon, Hampshire, where her father, Rev. George Austen, was a rector. She was the second daughter and seventh child in a family of eight. The Austens did not lose a single one of their children. Cassandra Leigh, Jane's mother, fed her infants at the breast a few months, and then sent them to a wet nurse in a nearby village to be looked after for another year or longer.
The first 25 years of her life Jane spent in Hampshire. On her father's unexpected retirement, the family sold off everything, including Jane's piano, and moved to Bath. Jane, aged twenty-five, and Cassandra, her elder sister, aged twenty-eight, were considered by contemporary standards confirmed old maid, and followed their parents.
Jane Austen was mostly tutored at home, and irregularly at school, but she received a broader ecation than many women of her time. She started to write for family amusement as a child. Her parents were avid readers; Austen's own favorite poet was Cowper. Her earliest-known writings date from about 1787. Very shy about her writing, she wrote on small pieces of paper that she slipped under the desk plotter if anyone came into the room. In her letters she observed the daily life of her family and friends in an intimate and gossipy manner: "James danced with Alethea, and cut up the turkey last night with great perseverance. You say nothing of the silk stockings; I flatter myself, therefore, that Charles has not purchased any, as I cannot very well afford to pay for them; all my money is spent in buying white gloves and pink persian." (Austen in a letter to her sister Cassandra in 1796)
Austen's father supported his daughter's writing aspirations and tried to help her get a publisher. After his death in 1805, she lived with her sister and hypochondriac mother in Southampton and moved in 1809 to a large cottage in the village of Chawton. Austen never married, but her social life was active and she had suitors and romantic dreams. James Edward Austen-Leigh, her nephew, wanted to create another kind of legend around her and claimed that "of events her life was singularly barren: few changes and no great crises ever broke the smooth current of its course... There was in her nothing eccentric or angular; no ruggedness of temper; no singularity of manner..." Austen's sister Cassandra also never married. One of her brothers became a clergyman, two served in the navy, one was mentally retarded. He was taken care of a local family.
Austen was well connected with the middling-rich landed gentry that she portrayed in her novels. In Chawton she started to write her major works, among them SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, the story of the impoverished Dashwood sisters, Marianne and Elinor, who try to find proper husbands to secure their social position. The novel was written in 1797 as the revision of a sketch called Elinor and Marianne, composed when the author was 20. According to some sources, an earlier version of the work was written in the form of a novel in letters, and read aloud to the family as early as 1795.
Austen's heroines are determined to marry wisely and well, but romantic Marianne of Sense and Sensibility is a character, who feels intensely about everything and loses her heart to an irresponsible secer. "I could not be happy with a man whose taste did not in every point coincide with my own. He must enter into all my feelings; the same with books, the same music must charm us both." Reasonable Elinor falls in love with a gentleman already engaged. '"I have frequently detected myself in such kind of mistakes," said Elinor, "in a total misapprehension of character in some point or another: fancying people so much more gay or grave, or ingenious or stupid than they really are, and I can hardly tell why or in what the deception originated. Sometimes one is guided by what they say of themselves, and very frequently by what other people say of them, without giving oneself time to deliberate and judge."' When Marianne likes to read and express her feelings, Elinor prefers to draw and design and be silent of his desires. They are the daughters of Henry Dashwood, whose son, John, from a former marriage. After his death, John inherits the Norland estate in Sussex, where the sisters live. John's wife, the greedy and selfish Fanny, insists that they move to Norland. The impoverished widow and and her daughters move to Barton Cottage in Devonshire. There Marianne is surrounded by a devious heartbreaker Willoughby, who has already loved another woman. Elinor becomes interested in Edward Ferrars, who is proud and ignorant. Colonel Brandon, an older gentleman, doesn't attract Marianne. She is finally rejected by Willoughby. "Marianne Dashwood was born to an extraordinary fate. She was born to discover the falsehood of her own opinions, and to counteract, by her conct, her most favorite maxims."
In all of Austen's novels her heroines are ultimately married. Pride and Prejudice described the clash between Elisabeth Bennet, the daughter of a country gentleman and an intelligent young woman, and Fitzwilliam Darcy, a rich aristocratic landowner. Their relationship starts from dislike, but Darcy becomes intrigued by her mind and spirit. At last they fall in love and are happily united. Austen had completed the early version of the story in 1797 under the title "First Impressions". The book went to three printings ring Austen's lifetime. In 1998 appeared a sequel to the novel, entitled Desire and Duty, written by Teddy F. Bader, et al. It followed the ideas Jane Austen told her family.
Emma was written in comic tone. Austen begun the novel in January 1814 and completed it in March of the next year. The book was published in three volumes. It told the story of Emma Woodhouse, who finds her destiny in marriage. Emma is a wealthy, pretty, self-satisfied young woman. She is left alone with her hypochondriac father. Her governess, Miss Taylor, marries a neighbor, Mr. Weston. Emma has too much time and she spends it choosing proper partners for her friends and neighbors - blind to her own feelings. She makes a protégée of Harriet Smith, an illegitimate girl of no social status and tries to manipulate a marriage between Harriet and Mr. Elton, a young clergyman, who has set his sight on Emma. Emma has feelings about Mr. Weston's son. When Harriet becomes interested in George Knightley, a neighboring squire who has been her friend, Emma starts to understand her own limitations. He has been her moral adviser, and secretly loves her. Finally Emma finds her destiny in marriage with him. Harriet, who is left to decide for herself, marries Robert Martin, a young farmer.
Austen focused on middle-class provincial life with humor and understanding. She depicted minor landed gentry, country clergymen and their families, in which marriage mainly determined women's social status. Most important for her were those little matters, as Emma says, "on which the daily happiness of private life depends." Although Austen restricted to family matters, and she passed the historical events of the Napoleonic wars, her wit and observant narrative touch has been inexhaustible delight to readers. Of her six great novels, four were published anonymously ring her lifetime. Austen also had troubles with her publisher, who wanted to make alterations to her love scenes in Pride and Prejudice. In 1811 he wrote to Thomas Egerton: "You say the book is indecent. You say I am immodest. But Sir in the depiction of love, modesty is the fullness of truth; and decency frankness; and so I must also be frank with you, and ask that you remove my name from the title page in all future printings; 'A lady' will do well enough." At her death on July 18, 1817 in Winchester, at the age of forty-one, Austen was writing the unfinished SANDITON. She managed to write twelve chapters before stopping in March 18, e to her poor health.
Austen was buried in Winchester Cathedral, near the centre of the north aisle. "It is a satisfaction to me to think that [she is] to lie in a Building she admired so much," Austen's sister Cassandra wrote later. Cassandra destroyed many of her sister's letters; one hundred sixty survived but none written earlier than her tentieth birthday.
Austen's brother Henry made her authorship public after her death. Emma had been reviewed favorably by Sir Walter Scott, who wrote in his journal of March 14, 1826: "[Miss Austen] had a talent for describing the involvements and feelings and characters of ordinary life which is to me the most wonderful I have ever met with. The Big Bow-Wow strain I can do myself like any now going; but the exquisite touch, which renders ordinary commonplace things and characters interesting, from the truth of the description and the sentiment, is denied to me." Charlotte Brontë and E.B. Browning found her limited, and Elizabeth Hardwick said: "I don't think her superb intelligence brought her happiness." It was not until the publication of J.E. Austen-Leigh's Memoir in 1870 that a Jane Austen cult began to develop. Austen's unfinished Sanditon was published in 1925.

Ⅵ 關於歐亨利的創作風格，是英文的最好。
O. Henry's stories are famous for their surprise endings, to the point that such an ending is often referred to as an "O. Henry ending." He was called the American answer to Guy de Maupassant. Both authors wrote twist endings, but O. Henry stories were much more playful. His stories are also well known for witty narration. Most of O. Henry's stories are set in his own time, the early years of the 20th century. Many take place in New York City and deal for the most part with ordinary people: clerks, policemen, waitresses.
概括一下
歐 亨利的短篇小說通常以他的歐式驚奇風格結尾，它們也被稱作歐亨利式結局。他的語言風格詼諧幽默，小說講述的故事通常都發生在二十世紀早期的紐約，關於平凡人：職員，警察，或者是侍者。
O. Henry's work is wide-ranging, and his characters can be found roaming the cattle-lands of Texas, exploring the art of the "gentle grafter," or investigating the tensions of class and wealth in turn-of-the-century New York. O. Henry had an inimitable hand for isolating some element of society and describing it with an incredible economy and grace of language. Some of his best and least-known work resides in the collection Cabbages and Kings, a series of stories which each explore some indivial aspect of life in a paralytically sleepy Central American town while each advancing some aspect of the larger plot and relating back one to another in a complex structure which slowly explicates its own background. O.Henry's work is fundamentally a proct of his time, and contains examples of casual racism

Ⅶ 英語作文寫作風格有哪些
「寫作特點」也稱「寫作風格」
首先要解釋什麼是「風格」？這是一個很復雜的問題。
關於「風格」的定義很多人都從不同的角度論述過，可謂眾說紛紜。
有一種說法是風格即人的本性、性格、趣味、思想、思維方式、價值觀、生活方式、習慣等等特徵屬性在某特定社會存在中的集中體現。
再說寫作風格：
簡要地說，就是作家在創作中表現出來的寫作特色和創作個性。
不同的作家他們在創作上表現出來的藝術特色和創作個性都不盡相同，我們就說他們的創作「風格」不同。 具有獨特「風格」的作家，即便他的作品不寫上名字，熟悉其作品的讀者也一眼就能識別出來。究其原因，就是因為在他的作品中，融入了作者的本性、性格、趣味、思想、思維方式、價值觀、生活方式、習慣等等特徵屬性。「寫作特點」也稱「寫作風格」

用「on」即：就...（某作品）分析某作家的寫作風格
用「through」即：通過...（某作品）分析某作家的寫作風格
而「by」更強調實質方面的
「according to」也可以，是根據...作品來分析某作家的寫作風格，更具邏輯性

Ⅸ 急需關於馬克吐溫的創作風格及其一些作品簡介（只要英文版）
馬克吐溫
（Mark Twain l835～1910）
作者簡介：
美國作家。本名塞謬爾·朗赫恩·克萊門斯。馬克·吐溫是其筆名。出生於密西西比河畔小城漢尼拔的一個鄉村貧窮律師家庭，從小出外拜師學徒。當過排字工人，密西西比河水手、南軍士兵，還經營過木材業、礦業和出版業，但有效的工作是當記者和寫作幽默文學。
馬克·吐溫是美國批判現實主義文學的奠基人，世界著名的短篇小說大師。他經歷了美國從「自由」資本主義到帝國主義的發展過程，其思想和創作也表現為從輕快調笑到辛辣諷刺再到悲觀厭世的發展階段。
他的早期創作，如短篇小說《竟選州長》（1870）、《哥爾斯密的朋友再度出洋》（1870）等，以幽默、詼諧的筆法嘲笑美國「民主選舉」的荒謬和「民主天堂」的本質。
中期作品，如長篇小說《鍍金時代》（1874，與華納合寫）、代表作長篇小說《哈克貝里·費恩歷險記》（1886）及《傻瓜威爾遜》（1893）等，則以深沉、辛辣的筆調諷刺和揭露像瘟疫般盛行於美國的投機、拜金狂熱，及暗無天日的社會現實與慘無人道的種族歧視。《哈克貝里·費恩歷險記》通過白人小孩哈克跟逃亡黑奴吉姆結伴在密西西比河流浪的故事，不僅批判封建家庭結仇械鬥的野蠻，揭露私刑的毫無理性，而且諷刺宗教的虛偽愚昧，譴責蓄奴制的罪惡，並歌頌黑奴的優秀品質，宣傳不分種族地位人人都享有自由權利的進步主張。作品文字清新有力，審視角度自然而獨特，被視為美國文學史上具劃時代意義的現實主義著作。
19世紀末，隨著美國進入帝國主義發展階段，馬克·吐溫一些游記、雜文、政論，如《赤道環行記》（1897）、中篇小說《敗壞了哈德萊堡的人》（1900）、《神秘來客》（1916）等的批判揭露意義也逐漸減弱，而絕望神秘情緒則有所伸長。
馬克·吐溫被譽為「美國文學中的林肯」。他的主要作品已大多有中文譯本。
英語版
Mark Twain (pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910), was an American writer, journalist and humorist, who won a worldwide audience for his stories of the youthful adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
Clemens was born on November 30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri, of a Virginian family. He was brought up in Hannibal, Missouri. After his father's death in 1847, he was apprenticed to a printer and wrote for his brother's newspaper. He later worked as a licensed Mississippi river-boat pilot. The Civil War put an end to the steamboat traffic and Clemens moved to Virginia City, where he edited the Territorial Enterprise. On February 3, 1863, 'Mark Twain' was born when Clemens signed a humorous travel account with that pseudonym.
In 1864 Twain left for California, and worked in San Francisco as a reporter. He visited Hawaii as a correspondent for The Sacramento Union, publishing letters on his trip and giving lectures. He set out on a world tour, traveling in France and Italy. His experiences were recorded in 1869 in The Innocents Abroad, which gained him wide popularity, and poked fun at both American and European prejudices and manners.
The success as a writer gave Twain enough financial security to marry Olivia Langdon in 1870. They moved next year to Hartford. Twain continued to lecture in the United States and England. Between 1876 and 1884 he published several masterpieces, Tom Sawyer (1881) and The Prince And The Pauper (1881). Life On The Mississippi appeared in 1883 andHuckleberry Finn in 1884.
In the 1890s Twain lost most of his earnings in financial speculations and in the failure of his own publishing firm. To recover from the bankruptcy, he started a world lecture tour, ring which one of his daughters died. Twain toured New Zealand, Australia, India, and South Africa. He wrote such books as The Tragedy Of Pudd'head Wilson (1884), Personal Recollections Of Joan Of Arc (1885), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and the travel book Following The Equator (1897). During his long writing career, Twain also proced a considerable number of essays.
The death of his wife and his second daughter darkened the author's later years, which is seen in his posthumously published autobiography (1924). Twain died on April 21, 1910.
Ⅹ 跪求一篇關於美國作家Nathanie Hawthorne的英文介紹 重點是他的作品和寫作風格介紹！
Nathaniel Hawthorne (born Nathaniel Hathorne; July 4, 1804 – May 19, 1864) was a 19th century American novelist and short story writer. He is seen as a key figure in the development of American literature for his tales of the nation's colonial history.
Hawthorne is best-known today for his many short stories (he called them "tales") and his four major romances written between 1850 and 1860: The Scarlet Letter (1850), The House of the Seven Gables (1851), The Blithedale Romance (1852) and The Marble Faun (1860). Another novel-length romance, Fanshawe was published anonymously in 1828.
Before publishing his first collection of tales in 1837, Hawthorne wrote scores of short stories and sketches, publishing them anonymously or pseudonymously in periodicals such as The New England Magazine and The United States Magazine and Democratic Review. (The editor of the Democratic Review, John L. O'Sullivan, was a close friend of Hawthorne's.) Only after collecting a number of his short stories into the two-volume Twice-Told Tales in 1837 did Hawthorne begin to attach his name to his works.
Hawthorne's work belongs to Romanticism, an artistic and intellectual movement characterized by an emphasis on indivial freedom from social conventions or political restraints, on human imagination, and on nature in a typically idealized form. Romantic literature rebelled against the formalism of 18th century reason.
His writings were in the Romantic Period. Much of Hawthorne's work is set in colonial New England, and many of his short stories have been read as moral allegories influenced by his Puritan background. Ethan Brand (1850) tells the story of a lime-burner who sets off to find the Unpardonable Sin, and in doing so, commits it. One of Hawthorne's most famous tales, The Birth-Mark (1843), concerns a young doctor who removes a birthmark from his wife's face, an operation which kills her. Hawthorne based parts of this story on the penny press novels he loved to read. Other well-known tales include Rappaccini's Daughter (1844), My Kinsman, Major Molineux (1832), The Minister's Black Veil (1836), and Young Goodman Brown (1835). The Maypole of Merrymount (1836) recounts an encounter between the Puritans and the forces of anarchy and hedonism. A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys (1852) and Tanglewood Tales (1853) were re-tellings for children of some Greek myths, from which was named the Tanglewood estate and music venue.
Hawthorne is also considered among the first to experiment with alternate history as literary form. His 1845 short story "P.'s Correspondence" (a part of "Mosses from an Old Manse") is the first known complete English language alternate history and among the most early in any language. The story's protagonist is considered "a madman" e to his perceiving an alternative 1845 in which long-dead historical and literary figures are still alive; these delusions feature the poets Burns, Byron, Shelley, and Keats, the actor Edmund Kean, the British politician George Canning and even Napoleon Bonaparte.
Recent criticism has focused on Hawthorne's narrative voice, treating it as a self-conscious rhetorical construction, not to be conflated with Hawthorne's own voice. Such an approach complicates the long-dominant tradition of regarding Hawthorne as a gloomy, guilt-ridden moralist.
Hawthorne enjoyed a brief but intense friendship with American novelist Herman Melville beginning on August 5, 1850, when the two authors met at a picnic hosted by a mutual friend. Melville had just read Hawthorne's short story collection Mosses from an Old Manse, which Melville later praised in a famous review, "Hawthorne and His Mosses." Melville's letters to Hawthorne provide insight into the composition of Moby-Dick, which Melville dedicated to Hawthorne "in appreciation for his genius". Hawthorne's letters to Melville do not survive.
Edgar Allan Poe wrote important, though largely unflattering reviews of both Twice-Told Tales and Mosses from an Old Manse, mostly e to Poe's own contempt of allegory, moral tales, and his chronic accusations of plagiarism. However, even Poe admitted, "The style of Hawthorne is purity itself. His tone is singularly effective--wild, plaintive, thoughtful, and in full accordance with his themes." He concluded that, "we look upon him as one of the few men of indisputable genius to whom our country has as yet given birth."[4]
