it is in keeping with the characters he wanted to portray It is surprising how he reveals the inner world of his personage in short dialogues and colloquial phrases, Plain words in simple declarative sentences bring out the sensations of the central characters and at the same time make the reader participate in the events of the story II A Farewell to Arms (1929) A Farewell to Arms was published in 1929 by Ernest Hemingway It’s an anti-war novel in which Hemingway wanted to make the reader see war as a merciless massacre of men and women and the senseless destruction of the values created It is the story of an American lieutenant, Frederic Henry, who serves in an Italian ambulance corps during World War I The novel falls into five parts, each describing a different phase in Henry's adventures He falls in love with Catherine Barkley, a volunteer nurse from Great Britain When he is wounded she nurses him at the hospital His convalescence is over, he returns to the front and finds himself in a disorganized retreat He deserts during the mass retreat, rejoining the girl he loves, and they escape to Switzerland in a small boat over the lake of Maggiore Their idyll comes to an end (When she dies in childbirth) The plot of A Farewell to Arms is fairly straightforward While working with the Italian ambulance service during World War I (1914–18), the American Lieutanant Frederic Henry meets the English nurse Catherine Barkley Although she still mourns the death of her fiancé, who was killed in the war, Catherine encourages Henry’s advances After Henry is badly wounded by a trench Mortar shell near the Isonzo River in Italy, he is brought to a hospital in Milan, where he is eventually joined by Catherine She tends to him as he recovers During this time their relationship deepens Henry admits that he has fallen in love with her Catherine soon becomes pregnant by Henry but refuses to marry him After the hospital superintendent, Miss Van Campen, discovers that Henry has been hiding alcohol in his hospital room, he is sent back to the front During his absence, morale on the front had significantly worsened During the Italian retreat after the disastrous Battle of Carporetto (1917), he deserts the army, just barely escaping execution by Italian Military police Back in Milan, Henry searches for Catherine He soon learns that she has been sent to Stresa, some 95 miles (153 km) away Henry journeys to Stresa by train Once there, he reunites with Catherine, and the couple flee Italy by crossing the border into neutral Switzerland Upon arrival, Henry and Catherine are arrested by Swiss border authorities They decide to allow Henry and Catherine—who masquerade as architecture and art students seeking “winter sport”—to stay in Switzerland The couple pass several happy months in a wooden house near Montreux Late one night Catherine goes into labour She and Henry take a taxi to the hospital A long and painful labour ensues, and Henry wonders if Catherine will survive Sadly, their son is stillborn Soon after, Catherine begins to Hemorrhage and dies with Henry by her side He tries to say goodbye but cannot He returns to their hotel alone, in the rain A Farewell to Arms was one of the most widely read war novels of the 20th century It was published during the period between World War I and World, a time when war novels were very popular in the United States and around the world. A Farewell to Arms was published in the same year as Erich Maria Remarque’s magnum opus Im Westen Nichts Neues which details the daily horrors of war on the Western Front in laconic understatement B IMPRESSIONS OF THE HERO FREDERIC HENRY IN CHAPTER IV I Frederic Henry – A responsible person in work In chapter IV, Frederic Henry proves to be a responsible person in work His responsibility is revealed through his attention to the operation of the machines At the beginning of the chapter IV, when Henry wakes up, he goes around to check machines: "I addressed, went downstairs, had some coffee in the kitchen and went out to the kitchen and went out to the garage." "The machines were working on one out in yard Three others were up in the mountains at dressing stations." Henry asks one of the mechanics whether the machine have trouble or not? For example: - "How's everything?" - "What's the matter with this machine?" - "What's the matter now?" The mechanic stops working and says that it still okay All machines are used except one "Not so bad This machine is no good but others march." "It's no good One thing after another." "New rings" And then, he leaves them working and checks everything very carefully: - "They were moderately clean, a few freshly washed, others dusty I looked at the tires carefully, looking for cuts and stone bruises." - "Has there been any trouble getting parts?" Henry asked the sergeant mechanic "No, Signor Tetente." "Where is the gasoline park now?" "At the same place." "Good." And then he goes back to the house when he knows "Everything seemed in good condition." II Frederic Henry – an optimistic man Henry lives in the cutthroat front: "The battery in the next garden woke me in the morning." "The battery fired twice and the air came each time like a blow and shook the window and made the front of my pajamas flap." However, he still feels the beauty of the scenery surrounding him The nature is beautiful like a romantic picture: "The gravel paths were moist and the grass was wet with dew." He gets out of the bed when seeing the sun coming through the window After that, he goes to the window and looks out this scene Though it is cold and wet, actually it is fresh and vital It completely differentiates from cutthroat front and makes him more comfortable and peaceful He still feels happy and optimistic even it is an annoying and dangerous circumstance: "It was a nuisance to have them there but it was a comfort that they were no bigger." Frederic Henry's optimism is also reflected in the fact that he enjoys his morning pleasures Even though the sound of batteries exploding from the garden side woke him up, after asking about the situation of the fighting and the broken machines from his comrades, he still leisurely returned to his house and enjoyed his breakfast with a cup of coffee "pale gray and sweet with condensed milk" In his eyes, the scenery of a spring morning was still beautiful despite being in a fierce wartime Besides, the optimism of Henry was shown through the way he asked and listened attentively to the story of nurse Barkly about her fiancé’s death in the battle He also assumed that "This is the picturesque front" when Miss Barkly imagine about a silly idea that the boy who is going to marry her will come to the hospital where she is with wounds: "With a sabre cut, I suppose, and a bandage around his head Or shot through the shoulder." III Henry’s attitude towards the war + Indifferent feeling towards war but he is responsible for what he does in his job He had no idealistic concept about the war but he was a man to conscientiously perform his duties And this is exactly what we observe when he comes back to the front after his convalescent leave He checks on the ambulances etc, during the retreat he tries to his duty as much as he can + Brave man- Henry does not feel scared when a rain of shells is falling around him “ The battery in the next garden woke me in the morning and I saw the sun coming through the window… The battery fired twice and the air came each time like a blow and shook the window and made the front of my pajamas flap… It was a nuisance to have them there but it was a comfort that they were no bigger.” + Henry is still optimistic and believes in the war After Catherine Barkley shared her feeling about the war, Henry gave word of comfort "This is the picturesque front," I said "Do you suppose it will always go on?" "No." Henry always believes one day, the war would be over IV Henry’ s attitude towards Miss Barkley + Henry is an observant and empathetic man This characteristic is revealed through the conversation between Henry and Barkley in the first meeting He proves to understand the sad story of Barkley’s love affair He listens to Barkley attentively and sympathetically when she talks When Henry asked Barkley about the stick, she metioned about the story of her fiancé "It belonged to a boy who was killed last year." - "I'm awfully sorry "I was a fool not to I could have given him that anyway But I thought it would be bad for him." - “I see” “… I know all about it now But then he wanted to go to war and I didn't know."- I did not say anything In the context of chaotic war, it was very precious when a person spends time and emotion listening to another person’s life story In this situation it is more precious because although Henry and Catherine Barkley meet each other for the first time, he already sympathizes with Barkley + Henry was struck by Catherine Barkley's beauty, especially her hair, and the faithfulness of her love for her fiancé About her appearance: In chapter IV, Catherine Barkley appears beautiful in Henry’s eyes when she in the garden with another nurse Miss Barkley was quite tall She wore what seemed to me to be a nurse's uniform, was blonde and had a tawny skin and gray eyes I thought she was very beautiful Especially, Henry is strongly impressed by her hair, “We sat down on a bench and I looked at her – ‘you have beautiful hair” About the faithfulness: In this chapter, Barkley is not only a beautiful woman but also a faithful sweetheart towards her fiancé The stick in her hand is the souvenir of her financé He died in the battle of the Somme It reminds her of good memory about love affair with her fiancé She is willing to anything for him, even cut her hair “I was going to cut it all off when he died.” “I want to something for him You see I didn’t care about other thing and he could have had it all He could have anything he wanted if I would have known I would have married him or anything I know all about it now But then he wanted to go the war and I didn’t know” V Conclusion In summary, with the language of Hemingway's work is bare simplicity, it is in keeping with characters the wanted to portray It is surprising how he reveals the inner world of his personages in short dialogues and colloquial phrases Plain words in simple declarative sentences bring out the sensations of the central characters and at the same time make the reader participate in the events of the story About the hero Frederic Henry, he is a responsible person in work; an optimistic man; his attitude towards the war and his attitude towards Miss Barkley C TRANSLATION The battery in the next garden woke me in Sáng tiếng đại bác vườn bên đánh thức the morning and I saw the sun coming dậy ánh nắng tràn vào phòng qua through the window and got out of the bed I cửa sổ Tôi trỗi dậy khỏi giường, đến bên went to the window and looked out The cửa sổ đưa mắt nhìn ngồi Những gravel paths were moist and the grass was đường trải sỏi ẩm ướt, cỏ xanh đẫm wet with dew The battery fired twice and sương đêm Tiếng đại bác nổ hai lần the air came each time like a blow and shook lần khiến khơng khí chuyển động, the window and made the front of my lay động cửa sổ làm vạt áo ngủ pajamas flap I could not see the guns but bay phần phật Tôi không thấy súng they were evidently firing directly over us It nhắm thẳng hướng was a nuisance to have them there but it was chúng tơi Thật khó chịu gần chúng a comfort that they were no bigger As I thật hạnh phúc chúng looked out at the garden I heard a motor truck starting on the road I dressed, went downstairs, had some coffee in the kitchen and went out to the garage Ten cars were lined up side by side under the long shed They were top- ‐heavy, blunt-‐nosed ambulances, painted gray and built like moving-‐vans The mechanics were working on one out in the yard Three others were up in the mountains at dressing-‐stations không nổ to Khi đưa mắt nhìn vườn, tơi nghe có tiếng tơ rồ to ngồi đường Tơi mặc quần áo, xuống nhà dưới, vào bếp uống tí cà phê nhà xe Mười xe đậu cạnh mái kho dài Đó xe Hồng thập tự đầu tròn mui nặng trịch sơn xám, giống xe vận tải Những người thợ máy làm việc xe đậu sân Ba khác đưa lên trạm cấp cứu "Do they ever shell that battery?" I asked one of the mechanics "No, Signor Tenente It is protected by the little hill." núi Tôi hỏi người thợ: - Này, có địch nã trọng pháo vào đại bác ta không? - Thưa khơng, đại bác "How's everything?" "Not so bad This machine is no good but the others march." He stopped working and smiled "Were you on permission?" "Yes." He wiped his hands on his jumper and grinned "You have a good time?" The others all grinned too "Fine I said "What's the matter with this machine?" "It's no good One thing after another." "What's the matter now?" "New rings." I left them working, the car looking disgraced and empty with the engine open and parts spread on the work bench, and went in under the shed and looked at each of the cars They were moderately clean, a few freshly washed, the others dusty đồi nhỏ che khuất - Còn xe nào? - Cũng cịn dùng tạm Chiếc không tốt khác dùng – Anh dừng tay mỉm cười nhìn tơi – Ơng phép ạ? - Phải Anh chùi tay vào áo choàng cười hỏi tơi: - Ơng nghỉ thoải mái chứ? Những người thợ khác cười theo - Thoải mái – Tôi đáp – Cịn xe bị hỏng vậy? - Nó chẳng dùng được, bị hỏng hết - Lần làm sao? - Phải thay xéc măng Tôi họ làm việc Chiếc xe trông ảo não trống rỗng, đầu máy bị tháo mảnh nằm ngổn ngang ghế Tôi vào để xem xe Tất sẽ, vài vừa lau chùi cẩn thận, khác bám đầy bụi I looked at the tires carefully, looking for cuts or stone bruises Everything seemed in good condition It evidently made no difference whether I was there to look after things or not I had imagined that the condition of the cars, whether or not things were obtainable, the smooth functioning of the business of removing wounded and Tơi xem xét kỹ bánh xe để tìm vết móp hay nứt Tất trơng khả quan Dĩ nhiên dù tơi có đến xem chúng hay khơng việc thơi khơng có khác Tơi tưởng tượng cho tình trạng sick from the dressing stations, hauling them back from the mountains to the clearing station and then distributing them to the hospitals named on their papers, depended to a considerable extent on myself Evidently it did not matter whether I was there or not xe này, việc sơ tán, tuỳ Quả thật phân công vận chuyển bình an thương binh bệnh nhân trạm cấp cứu, chở họ từ núi đến trạm cứu thương địa phương lại đưa họ đến bệnh viện định sẵn thẻ họ Nhưng dĩ nhiên có mặt tơi không cần thiết Tôi hỏi trung sĩ khí: "Has there been any trouble getting parts?" I asked the sergeant mechanic "No, Signor Tenente." "Where is the gasoline park now?" "At the same place." "Good," I said and went back to the house and drank another bowl of coffee at the mess table The coffee was a pale gray and sweet with condensed milk.Outside the window it was a lovely spring morning.There was that beginning of a feeling of dryness in the nose that meant the day would be hot later on That day I visited the posts in the mountains and was back in town late in the afternoon The whole thing seemed to run better while I was away The offensive was going to start again I heard The division for which we worked were to attack at a place up the river and the major told me that I - Trung sĩ có gặp khó khăn phụ tùng xe khơng? - Thưa khơng - Hiện kho xăng đâu? - Dạ chỗ cũ - Vậy tốt Nói xong trở vào nhà uống thêm ly cà phê bàn ăn chung Cà phê có màu xám, lịm sữa đặc Ngoài cửa sổ, buổi sáng mùa xn trơng đẹp Người ta có cảm giác khơ mũi, có nghĩa ngày nóng Hơm tơi xem xét trạm núi trở lại thành phố, trời xế chiều Mọi việc tiến triển khả quan tơi vắng mặt Tơi nghe nói sửa đánh lại Chúng phân công công thượng nguồn Thiếu tá giao cho tổ chức would see about the posts for during the attack The attack would cross the river up above the narrow gorge and spread up the hillside The posts for the cars would have to be as near the river as they could get and keep covered They would, of course, be selected by the infantry but we were supposed to work it out It was one of those things that gave you a false feeling of soldiering trạm cấp cứu công Chúng mở công băng ngang qua sơng vịng lên đường đèo hẹp chiếm lĩnh vị trí sườn đồi Những xe tải thương phải ẩn đỡ gần sông tốt bảo vệ Dĩ nhiên việc chọn lựa binh chúng tơi thi hành Đó trường hợp gây cảm giác sai lầm góp phần vào chiến đấu I was very dusty and dirty and went up to my room to wash Rinaldi was sitting on the bed with a copy of Hugo's English grammar He was dressed, wore his black boots, and his hair shone Người đầy bụi vấy bẩn, liền lên "Splendid," he said when he saw me "You will come with me to see Miss Barkley."

He opened his trunk and took out a bottle - Này, khoan – Rinaldi bảo – Có lẽ chúng "Not Strega," I said ta nên uống tí – Anh mở rương lấy chai rượu - Tôi không uống Strega đâu "No Grappa." "All right." He poured two glasses and we touched them, first fingers extended The grappa was very strong "Another?" "All right," I said We drank the second grappa, Rinaldi put away the bottle and we went down the stairs It was hot walking through the town but the sun was starting to go down and it was very pleasant The British hospital was a big villa built by Germans before the war Miss Barkley was in the garden Another nurse was with her We saw their white uniforms through the trees and walked toward them Rinaldi saluted I saluted too but more moderately - Không phải Strega, Grappa mà - Thế Anh rót hai ly, chúng tơi chạm cốc, ngón tay trỏ đưa lên Rượu Grappa mạnh - Ly nhé? - Ừ Chúng tơi cạn ly thứ hai, Rinaldi cất chai rượu, bước xuống cầu thang Ở thành phố, nóng mặt trời bắt đầu lặn nên thấy dễ chịu Bệnh viện Anh đặt biệt thự to lớn người Đức xây cất trước chiến tranh Cô Barkley vườn với cô y tá khác Chúng thấy đồng phục trắng họ qua cành kẽ lá, tiến phía họ Rinaldi đưa tay chào "How you do?"
