《没有女人的男人们（原稿本）》的笔记-第158页 - Ten Indians

AFTER one Fourth of July, Nick, driving home late from town in the big wagon with Joe Garner, and his family, passed nine drunken Indians along the road. He remembered there were nine because Joe Garner, driving along in the dusk, pulled up the horses, jumped down into the road and dragged and Indian out of the wheel rut. The Indian had been asleep face down in the sand. Joe dragged him into the bushes and got back up on the wagon-box.
"That makes nine of them," Joe said, "just between here and the edge of town."

《没有女人的男人们（原稿本）》的笔记-第209页 - Now I Lay Me

That night we lay on the floor in the room and I listened to the silkworms eating.The silkworms fed in racks of mulberry leaves and all night you could hear them eating and a dropping sound in the leaves.I myself did not want to sleep because I had been living for a long time with the knowledge that if I ever shut my eyes in the dark and let myself go,my soul would go out of my body.I had been that way for a long time,ever since I had been blown up at night and felt it go out of me and go off and then come back.I tried never to think about it,but it had started to go since, in the nights,just at the moment of going off to sleep,and I could only stop it by a very great effort.So while now I am fairly sure that it will not really have gone out,yet then,that summer,I was unwilling to make the experiment.

THE door of Henry's lunch-room opened and two men came in. They sat down at the counter.
"What's yours?" George asked them.
"I don't know,” one of the men said. "What do you want to eat, Al?"
"I don't know," said Al. "I don't know what I want to eat."
Outside it was getting dark. The street-light came on outside the window. The two men at the counter read the menu. From the other end of the counter Nick Adams watched them. He had been talking to George when they came in.

THE hills across the calley of the Ebro were long and white. On this side there was no shade and no trees and the station was between two lines of rails in the sun. Close against the side of the station there was the warm shadow of the building and a curtain, made of strings of bamboo beads, hung across the open door into the bar, to keep out flies. The American and the girl with him sat at a table in the shade, outside the building. It was very hot and the express from Barcelona would come in fourty minutes. It stopped at this junction for two minutes and went on to Madrid.

And the bull, the great, black bull, with a horse on his back, hooves dangling, the bridle caught in the horns. Black bull with a horse on his back, staggering short-legged, then arching his neck and lifting, thrusting, charging to slide the horse off, horse sliding down. Then the bull into a lunging charge at the cape Manuel spread for him.
这三句主句均不用动词。冠词的用法值得注意：And the bull, the great, black bull, with a horse on his back...Black bull with a horse on his back, staggering...to slide the horse off, horse sliding down. Then the bull...甚至staggering short-legged的用法也可以玩味一番。

He was good and drunk. He was looking at me steady. His eyes were sort of too steady.
good and drunk：美式口语，very drunk的意思,表示drunk的程度极深，故good and词典也解释为completely, thoroughly, entirely。相似的表达法as good as则来源甚古，比如as good as dead，可以理解为not really but almost dead。可见意思略有差别。
looking at me steady可以理解为looking at me steadily的一种比较口语化的说法，也可以理解为重点在看的情态，而不在看的动作。

Manuel looked up at the stuffed bull. He had seen it often before. He fet a certain family interest in it. It had killed his brother, the promising one, about nine years ago. Manuel remembered the day. There was a brass plate on the oak shield the bull's head was mounted on. Manuel could not read it, but he imagined it was in memory of his brother. Well, he had been a good kid.
The plate said: "The Bull 'Mariposa' of the Duke of Veragua, which accepted 9 varas for 7 caballos, and caused the death of Antonio Garcia, Novillero, April 27, 1909."

Four times he swung with the bull, lifting the cape so it billowed full, and each time bringing the bull around to charge again. Then, at the end of the fifth swing, he held the cape against his hip and pivoted, so the cape swung out like a ballet dancer’s skirt and wound the bull around himself like a belt, to step clear, leaving the bull facing Zurito on the white horse, come up and planted firm, the horse facing the bull, its ears forward, its lips nervous, Zurito, his hat over his eyes, leaning forward, the long pole sticking out before and behind in a sharp angle under his right arm, held half-way down, the triangular iron point facing the bull.
海明威的小说句子短小精悍，但偶尔也用福克纳式的长句，比如这一段的第二句，我看了几遍，还是对句子的结构没把握。
海明威出了名的长句曾经在http://www.recordedbooks.com/courses_pdf/UT088.pdf听到一个，有兴趣的可以试试看一口气念不念得完：
That something I cannot yet define completely but the feeling comes
when you write well and truly of something and know impersonally you
have written in that way and those who are paid to read it and report
on it do not like the subject so they say it is all a fake, yet you know its
value absolutely; or when you do something which people do not consider
a serious occupation and yet you know, truly, that it is as important
and has always been as important as all the things that are in
fashion, and when on the sea, you are alone with it and know this Gulf
Stream you are living with, knowing, learning about, and loving, has
moved, as it moves, since before man, and that it has gone by the
shoreline of that long, beautiful, unhappy island since before Columbus
sighted it and that the things you find out about it are permanent and of
value because that stream will flow, as it has flowed, after the Indians,
after the Spaniards, after the British, after the Americans and after all
the Cubans and all the systems of governments, the richness, the
poverty, the martyrdom, the sacrifice and the venality and the cruelty
are all gone as the high-piled scow of garbage, bright-colored, whiteflecked,
ill-smelling, now tilted on its side, spills off its load into the blue
water, turning it a pale green to a depth of four or five fathoms as the
load spreads across the surface, the sinkable part going down and the
flotsam of palm fronts, corks, bottles, and used electric light globes,
seasoned with an occasional condom or a deep floating corset, the
torn leaves of a student’s exercise book, a well-inflated dog, the occasional
rat, the no-longer-distinguished cat; all this well shepherded by
the boats of the garbage pickers who pluck their prizes with long poles,
as interested, as intelligent, and as accurate as historians; they have
the viewpoint; the stream, with no visible flow, takes five loads of this a
day when things are going well in La Habana and in ten miles along
the coast it is as clear and blue and unimpressed as it was ever before
the tug hauled out the scow; and the palm fronds of our victories, the
worn light bulbs of our discoveries and the empty condoms of our great
loves float with no significance against one single, lasting thing—the
stream (Hemingway, Green Hills of Africa, 149–50).
