A Farewell to Arms告别武器英语阅读报告800+字
Peace First---A Farewell to Arms We love peace and don't like war. We love a world full of flowers, not a world full of smoke and crying. But in this world, there are often wars. Local wars have been going on, such as the war between Ukraine and Russia. In China, it's so peaceful that I have no concept of war. I can't even imagine what the war would look like or what the consequences would be.A few days ago, I read a book titled A Farewell to Arms. It gave me a whole new perspective on war.The author of this novel is Ernest Miller Hemingway.He is a famous American writer, the most important representative of the "Lost Generation" in America in the 1920s. He had a wide range of interests, which had an important influence on his writing and the formation of his character. He served in two world wars. In World War I, he fought in Italy and lived in Paris as a journalist for a long time after the war. During these days, he wrote many literary works. During the Second World War, he went to Spain and China to report on the war and actively participated in the anti-fascist military operations. Eventually, he committed suicide due to illnesses and mental depression. He was a legendary author with many masterpieces in his all life. Ernest Miller Hemingway repeatedly thought about his experience of the First World War and had a sharper and more thorough understanding of things, so he often added his feelings andexperiences to his artwork. This novel is based on his own experience of the First World War.With war and love as the main lines, this novel reflects the evils of war and the disasters the war brings to people from the places closest to our lives. It is deeper. During the war, it is hard to guarantee everyone's safety, let alone happiness. It was very dramatic that Frederic Henry and Catherine Barkley met. This is probably about falling in love with the right person at the wrong time. Frederic Henry was an American lieutenant, and Catherine Barkley was an English nurse. Their occupations were specific to the war, and this seems to have signaled their end long ago. At their first meeting, she was still mourning the death of her fiancé, who was killed in the war, but Catherine encourages Henry's progress. Another meeting is when Henry was seriously wounded, and was taken to the hospital where Catherine. She constantly tended to Henry, and their relationship deepens. They fell in love and Catherine became pregnant. Henry was sent back to the front. Henry escaped from the army and was executed for desertion in Italy. Like the title A Farewell to Arms, Henry said goodbye to his presence as a weapon in the war. He was reunited with Catherine again and went to Switzerland. They spent a happy time together. But on the day of Catherine's delivery, the baby died and Catherine died too, just leaving Henry alone.This is actually an expected ending. There are many symbols. Rain isone of the symbols. It is a powerful symbol of the inevitable disappearance of happiness in life. The first example, while the rain fell on the roof, Catherine said it scared her, and said it had a meaning of destroying lovers. Catherine's fear was just like a predict, because bad luck eventually landed on these lovers. The second example, after Catherine's death, Henry left the hospital and walked home in the rain. The rain here proves Catherine's fear. Catherine died in the rain and Henry went to the darkness. By making a pair of lovers the main characters, this novel connects war with their lives, making the readers to understand and empathize more simply. War is brutal, and it means endless casualties. Under war, human nature specially stands out. Some people abandon their friends in order to survive, while others choose to fight side by side. War is just like a mirror that allows one to better understand the preciousness of peace.War is bad, and the people who start it are even worse. In the past, in the face of repeated wars of aggression, we didn’t give in. China still had the backbone and courage to resist its enemies.The Chinese nation united against the enemies. But now, our country is strong, no one can easily bully us. At all times, our country has always been a responsible image in the world. We help the weak and small countries and live in peace with other countries. Even though the dark history is behind us, as Chinese we should remember this history and make it as motivation to move forward.The war can end, but the memory will not. This dark memory willloom over people’s mind in a long time. So, peace first.。

In the bed of the river therewere pebbles and boulders, dry and white in the sun, and the water was clearand swiftly moving and blue in the channels. Troops went by the house anddown the road and the dust they raised powdered the leaves of the trees. Thetrunks of the trees too were dusty and the leaves fell early that year and wesaw the troops marching along the road and the dust rising and leaves, stirredby the breeze, falling and the soldiers marching and afterward theand white except for the leaves The plain was rich with crops; there were many orchards of fruit trees andbeyond the plain the mountains were brown and bare. There was fighting inthe mountains and at night we could see the flashes from the artillery. In thedark it was like summer lightning, but the nights were cool and there was notthe feeling of a storm coming Sometimes in the dark we heard the troops marching under the windowand guns going past pulled by motor-tractors. There was much traffic at nightand many mules on the roads with boxes of ammunition on each side of theirpack-saddles and gray motor trucks that carried men, and other trucks withloads covered with canvas that moved slower in the traffic. There were bigguns too that passed in the day drawn by tractors, the long barrels of the gunscovered with green branches and green leafy branches and vines laid over thetractors. To the north we could look across a valley and see a forest of chestnuttrees and behind it another mountain on this side of the river. There wasfighting for that mountain too, but it was not successful, and in the fall when therains came the leaves all fell from the chestnut trees and the branches werebare and the trunks black with rain. The vineyards were thin and bare-branched too and all the country wet and brown and dead with the autumn. There were mists over the river and clouds on the mountain and thetrucks splashed mud on the road and the troops were muddy and wet in theircapes; their rifles were wet and under their capes the two leather cartridge-boxes on the front of the belts, gray leather boxes heavy with thepacks of clips of thin, long 6.5 mm. cartridges, bulged forward under the capesso that the men, passing on the road, marched as though they were six months gone with child There were small gray motor cars that passed going very fast; usuallythere was an officer on the seat with the driver and more officers in the backseat. They splashed more mud than the camions even and if one of the officers in the back was very small and sitting between two generals, hehimself so small that you could not see his face but only the top of his cap andhis narrow back, and if the car went especially fast it was probably the King. Helived in Udine and came out in this way nearly every day to see how thingswere going, and things went very badly At the start of the winter came the permanent rain and with the rain camethe cholera. But it was checked and in the end only seven thousand died of it inthe army2 The next year there were many victories. The mountain that was beyondthe valley and the hillside where the chestnut forest grew was captured andthere were victories beyond the plain on the plateau to the south and wecrossed the river in August and lived in a house in Gorizia that had a fountainand many thick shady trees in a walled garden and a wistaria vine purple onthe side of the house. Now the fighting was in the next mountains beyond andwas not a mile away. The town was very nice and our house was very fine. Theriver ran behind us and the town had been captured very handsomelymountains beyond it could not be taken and I was very glad the Austriansseemed to want to come back to the town some time, if the war should end,because they did not bombard it to destroy it but only a little in a military wayPeople lived on in it and there were hospitals and caf ? and artillery up sidestreets and two bawdy houses, one for troops and one for officers, and with theend of the summer, the cool nights, the fighting in the mountains beyond thetown, the shell-marked iron of the railway bridge, the smashed tunnel by theriver where the fighting had been, the trees around the square and the longavenue of trees that led to the square; these with there being girls in the town,the King passing in his motor car, sometimes now seeing his face and littlelong necked body and gray beard like a goat's chin tuft; all these with thesudden interiors of houses that had lost a wall through shelling, with plasterand rubble in their gardens and sometimes in the street, and the wholegoing well on the Carso made the fall very different from the last fall when wehad been in the country. The war was changed too The forest of oak trees on the mountain beyond the town was gone. Theforest had been green in the summer when we had come into the town but nowthere were the stumps and the broken trunks and the ground torn up, and oneday at the end of the fall when I was out where the oak forest had been I saw acloud coming over the mountain. It came very fast and the sun went a dullyellow and then everything was gray and the sky was covered and the cloudcame on down the mountain and suddenly we were in it and it was snow. Thesnow slanted across the wind, the bare ground was covered, the stumps oftrees projected, there was snow on the guns and there were paths in the snowgoing back to the latrines behind trenches Later, below in the town, I watched the snow falling, looking out of thewindow of the bawdy house, the house for officers, where I sat with a friendand two glasses drinking a bottle of Asti, and, looking out at the snow fallingslowly and heavily, we knew it was all over for that year. Up the river themountains had not been taken; none of the mountains beyond the river hadbeen taken. That was all left for next year. My friend saw the priest from ourmess going by in the street, walking carefully in the slush, and pounded on thewindow to attract his attention. The priest looked up. He saw us and smiledMy friend motioned for him to come in. The priest shook his head and went onThat night in the mess after the spaghetti course, which every one ate veryquickly and seriously, lifting the spaghetti on the fork until the loose strandshung clear then lowering it into the mouth, or else using a continuous lift andsucking into the mouth, helping ourselves to wine from the grass-coveredgallon flask; it swung in a metal cradle and you pulled the neck of the flaskdown with the forefinger and the wine, clear red, tannic and lovely, poured outinto the glass held with the same hand; after this course, the captaincommenced picking on the priest The priest was young and blushed easily and wore a uniform like the restof us but with a cross in dark red velvet above the left breast pocket of his graytunic. The captain spoke pidgin Italian for my doubtful benefit, in order that Imight understand perfectly, that nothing should be lost "Priest to-day with girls," the captain said looking at the priest and at meThe priest smiled and blushed and shook his head. This captain baited him often "Not true?" asked the captain. "To-day I see priest with girls.""No," said the priest. The other officers were amused at the baiting "Priest not with girls," went on the captain. "Priest never with girls," heexplained to me. He took my glass and filled it, looking at my eyes all the time,but not losing sight of the priest "Priest every night five against one." Every one at the table laughed. "Youunderstand? Priest every night five against one." He made a gesture andlaughed loudly. The priest accepted it as a joke "The Pope wants the Austrians to win the war," the major said. "He lovesFranz Joseph. That's where the money comes from. I am an atheist.""Did you ever read the 'Black Pig'?" asked the lieutenant. "I will get you a copy. It was that which shook my faith.""It is a filthy and vile book," said the priest. "You do not really like it.""It is very valuable," saidthe lieutenant. "It tells you about those priestsYou will like it," he said to me. I smiled at the priest and he smiled back across the candle-light. "Don't you read it," he said "I will get it for you," said the lieutenant "All thinking men are atheists," the major said. "I do not believe in the FreeMasons however.""I believe in the Free Masons," the lieutenant said. "It is a nobleorganization." Some one came in and as the door opened I could see the snowfalling "There will be no more offensive now that the snow has come,"I said "Certainly not," said the major. "You should go on leave. You should go toRome, Naples, Sicily--""He should visit Amalfi," said the lieutenant. "I will write you cards to myfamily in Amalfi. They will love you like a son.""He should go to Palermo.""He ought to go to Capri.""I would like you to see Abruzzi and visit my family at Capracotta," said thepriest "Listen to him talk about the Abruzzi. There's more snow there than hereHe doesn't want to see peasants. Let him go to centres of culture andcivilization.""He should have fine girls. I will give you the addresses of places in NaplesBeautiful young girls--accompanied by their mothers. Ha! Ha! Ha!" The captainspread his hand open, the thumb up and fingers outspread as when you makeshadow pictures. There was a shadow from his hand on the wall. He spoke again in pidgin Italian. "You go away like this," he pointed to the thumb, "andcome back like this," he touched the little finger. Every one laughed "Look," said the captain. He spread the hand again. Again the candle-light made its shadows on the wall. He started with the upright thumb and named intheir order the thumb and four fingers, "soto-tenente the thumb, tenente firstfinger, capitano next finger, maggiore next to the little finger, and tenentecolonello the little finger. You go away soto-tenente! You come backsoto-colonello!" They all laughed. The captain was having a great success withfinger games. He looked at the priest and shouted, "Every night priest fiveagainst one!" They all laughed again "You must go on leave at once," the major said "I would like to go with you and show you things," the lieutenant said "When you come back bring a phonograph.""Bring good opera disks.""Bring Caruso.""Don't bring Caruso. He bellows.""Don't you wish you could bellow like him?""He bellows. I say he bellows!""I would like you to go to Abruzzi," the priest said. The others wereshouting. "There is good hunting. You would like the people and though it iscold it is clear and dry. You could stay with my family. My fatheris a famoushunter.""Come on," said the captain. "We go whorehouse before it shuts.""Good-night," I said to the priest "Good-night," he said3 When I came back to the front we still lived in that town. There were manymore guns in the country around and the spring had come. The fields weregreen and there were small green shoots on the vines, the trees along the roadhad small leaves and a breeze came from the sea. I saw the town with the hilland the old castle above it in a cup in the hills with the mountains beyond,brown mountains with a little green on their slopes. In the town there weremore guns, there were some new hospitals, you met British men and sometimes women, on the street, and a few more houses had been hit by shellfire. Jt was warm and like the spring and I walked down the alleyway of trees,warmed from the sun on the wall, and found we still lived in the same houseand that it all looked the same as when I had left it. The door was open, therewas a soldier sitting on a bench outside in the sun, an ambulance wasby the side door and inside the door, as I went in, there was the smell of marblefloors and hospital. It was all as I had left it except that now it was spring. Ilooked in the door of the big room and saw the major sitting at his desk, thewindow open and the sunlight coming into the room. He did not see me and Idid not know whether to go in and report or go upstairs first and clean up. Idecided to go on upstairs The room I shared with the lieutenant Rinaldi looked out on the courtyardThe window was open, my bed was made up with blankets and my thingshung on the wall, the gas mask in an oblong tin can, the steel helmet on thesame peg. At the foot of the bed was my flat trunk, and my winter boots, theleather shiny with oil, were on the trunk. My Austrian sniper's rifle with its bluedoctagon barrel and the lovely dark walnut, cheek-fitted, schutzen stock, hungover the two beds. The telescope that fitted it was, I remembered, locked in thetrunk. The lieutenant, Rinaldi, lay asleep on the other bed. He wokeheard me in the room and sat up "Ciaou!" he said. "What kind of time did you have?""Magnificent."We shook hands and he put his arm around my neck and kissed me "Oughf," I said "You're dirty," he said. "You ought to wash. Where did you go and what didyou do? Tell me everything at once.""I went everywhere. Milan, Florence, Rome, Naples, Villa San Giovanni,Messina, Taormina--""You talk like a time-table. Did you have any beautiful adventures?""Yes.""Where?""Milano, Firenze, Roma, Napoli--""That's enough. Tell me really what was the best.""In Milano.""That was because it was first. Where did you meet her? In the CovaWhere did you go? How did you feel? Tell me everything at once. Did you stayall night?""Yes.""That's nothing. Here now we have beautiful girls. New girls never been tothe front before.""Wonderful.""You don't believe me? We will go now this afternoon and see. And in thetown we have beautiful English girls. I am now in love with Miss Barkley.

There are a few realwounded. Next week the war starts again. Perhaps it start again. They say soDo you think I would do right to marry Miss Barkley--after the war of course?""Absolutely," I said and poured the basin full of water "To-night you will tell me everything," said Rinaldi.

Analysis-of-a-Farewell-to-Arms
Analysis of a Farewell to ArmsErnest Hemingway was born in Oak Park，Illinois ,in the summer of 1899.He later portrayed his middle—class parents rather harshly, condemning them for their conventional morality and values。
As a young man ，he left home to become a newspaper writer in Kansas City. Early in 1918，he joined the Italian Red Cross and served as an ambulance driver in Italy during World War Ⅰ，in which the Italians allied with the British，French,and Americans against Germany and Austria-Hungr。
During his time abroad，Hemingway had two experiences that affected him profoundly and that would later inspire one of his most celebrated novels, A Farwell to Arms. The first occurred on July 8，1918，when a trench mortar shell struck him while he crouched beyond the front lines with three Italian soldiers .Though Hemingway embellished the story over the years ,it is certain that he was transferred to a hospital in Milan, where he fell in love with a Red Cross nurse named Agnes von Kerensky ，Scholars are divided ov er Agnes’s role in Hemingway’s life and writing ,but there is little doubt that his relationship with her informed the relationship between Lieutenant Henry and Catherine Bakery in A Farewell to Arms。

永别了，武器欧内斯特.海明威Ernest Hemingway第四十一章Page 1有一天早晨，我三点钟左右醒来，听见凯瑟琳在床上翻来覆去。
“你好吗，凯特？”“有点痛，亲爱的。
”“是不是有规则的阵痛？”“不，不太有规则。
”“要是有规则的话，我们上医院去。
”当时我很困，就又睡着了。
过了一会儿，我又醒过来。
“你最好还是打电话给医生吧，”凯瑟琳说。
“我想这次也许是真的了。
”我打电话找医生。
“每次疼痛相隔多少时间？”医生问。
“多少时间痛一次，凯特？”“大概是一刻钟一次吧。
”“那么应当上医院去了，”医生说。
“我穿上衣服，马上就去。
”我挂断了，另打个电话给车站附近的汽车行，叫一部出租汽车。
好久没人来接电话。
最后，总算有个人答应即刻开部车子来。
凯瑟琳正在穿衣服。
她的拎包已经收拾好，里边放着她住院的用品和婴孩的东西。
我到外边走廊上去按电铃喊电梯。
没有回音。
我走下楼去。
楼下一个人都没有，只有一个夜班警卫员。
我只好自己开电梯上去，把凯瑟琳的拎包放进去，她走进电梯，我们便朝下开。
警卫给我们开了门，我们走出去，坐在通车道的台阶旁的石板上，等汽车来。
夜空无云，满天星星。
凯瑟琳很兴奋。
“我真高兴，这可开始了，”她说。
“过一会儿，一切就会过去的。
”“你是个勇敢的好姑娘。
”“我不害怕。
不过我倒希望汽车早一点来。
”我们听见车子在街上开来，看见车前灯的灯光。
车子转入车道，我扶凯瑟琳上了车，司机把拎包放在前面的座位上。
“往医院开，”我说。
我们出了车道，开始上山。
到了医院，我们走进去，我提着拎包。
有个女人坐在一张桌子边，她在一本簿子上写下凯瑟琳的姓名、年龄、地址、亲属、宗教信仰等等。
她说她没有宗教信仰，那女人就在那个词后边的空白处打了一条杠子。
她报的姓名是凯瑟琳·亨利。
“我带你到你的房间去，”她说。
我们乘电梯上去。
那女人停了电梯，领着我们走下一条走廊。
凯瑟琳紧紧地抓住我的胳臂。
“就是这房间，”那女人说。
“请你脱衣服上床吧？这里有件睡衣给你换。

表现主义是艺术家通过作品着重表现内 心的情感，而忽视对描写对象形式的摹写， 因此往往表现为对现实扭曲和抽象化的这 个做法尤其用来表达恐惧的情感，因此， 主题欢快的表现主义作品很少见。从这个 定义上来说马蒂斯· 格吕内瓦尔德与格雷考 的作品也可以说是表现主义的，但是一般 来说表现主义仅限于20世纪的作品。

A Farewell to Arms – (Hemingway)
Summer Reading Activity
Use the character map as a reference as you are reading the novel. Use it to answer the questions below. You will then use the questions as a guideline to write a novel-summary. The summary will encompass the answers to each question. Make sure to use effective transitional statements, details and examples from the novel, and strong diction.
Question 1: Chapters 1-7 (I-VII)
Readers first meet a group of soldiers and a priest debating how the narrator should spend his holiday. Why might Hemingway have drawn out this debate at the beginning of the novel? Is the narrator choosing between the soldier’s life and a more religious one?
Question 2: Chapters 8-12 (VIII-XII)
How does the main character’s point of view emerge in Book One? At this point, is the narrator a hero? Why or why not?
Question 3: Chapters 13- 18 (XIII-XVIII)
This reading concludes with the stat ement “You’re my religion”. What are Catherine Barkley’s and Frederic Henry’s primary motivations?
Question 4: Chapters 19- 24 (XIX-XXIV)
Who is the antagonist in the novel? Does the antagonist require Henry to look at himself in profound new ways?
Heming way alludes to a poem by Andrew Marvell, when Henry recites: “But at my back I always hear, time’s winged chariot hurrying near…” (p. 155).Why does Henry recite this poem at this moment in the novel? Why is “time’s winged chariot hurrying near?”
Question 5: Chapters 25- 27 (XXV-XXVII)
Describing an unusual or exotic place the main characters have visited.
Think about some of the symbols of war that you see in media, novels, or the general culture. Do you find these symbols within the novel as well?
Questions 6: Chapters 28 – 32 (XXVIII-XXXII)
Analyze: How does Hemingway’s portrayal of the changing seasons reflect Henry’s inner development, his developing relationship with Miss Barkley, and the progress of the war? For example, the novel begins in harvest time, when the two lovers meet. They later enjoy a blissful summer in Milan. But the book’s second half is filled with uncertainty and death, accompanied by a deluge of rain and snow during the winter of 1917-18. Catherine says, “I’m afraid of the rain because sometimes I see me dead in it”.
Question 7: Chapters 33- 35(XXXIII-XXXV)
In this section, we find that Henry makes “a separate peace.” What does he mean by this?
After shooting a sergeant, being captured, and fleeing, Henry finds solace in memories and remembering. Choose one character aside from Henry and compare how that character finds solace from the war to Henry. Has his or her source of solace changed during the novel?
Question 8: Chapters 36- 37 (XXXVI-XXXVII)
Discuss the meaning of the novel. What sort of statement does Hemingway make by telling this story, and by crafting the story in sparse language with frequent dialogue?。
