ntences; and there is no too much modificatory words to describe the facial expression, inner minds and even the actions of the figures. What Hemingway shows to the reader is an absolute kind of simplicity, which is completely different from the tediousness of Henry James. Although the language is full of simplicity, is undoubtedly not monotone. Keeping pace with the tempo of the story, the tone and the changing feelings of the figures are clear. Just owing to the concise language, Hemingway’s style was endowed with the title “telegraph style”. C. Perfect Symbolism Hemingway’s famous writing style is fully embodied in the Hills Like White Elephants. Apart from his real-life dialogue and concise language, the perfect symbolism can be also found. E. M. Hallyday holds that Hemingway uses some symbolism in his works in a very limited and controlled method, so he can not be considered strictly as a writer that belongs to the Symbolism, like Allen Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne and so on. However, he still highly estimates and specifically analyses Hemingway’s symbolism in his comment. In fact, the symbolism contained in Hemingway’s works is attractive. As someone says about the Old Man and the Sea that the novel stands for the writer’s circumstances: the old man is the writer himself, the big fish is his works, and the shark is the critic, for any works criticized by the critics would be bad. One makes such conclusion owing to one fact that Hemingway hates the critics. Likewise, in Hills Like White Elephants, there is an important metaphor that “they (the hills) look like white elephants.” Here, “white elephants” is mentioned several times, if some relative messages about it are found out, the symbolism meaning of it will be clear.

Because the elephant is sacred and not permitted to work, it is a burden to the owner as it would eat up all the owner’s money until he becomes destitute. And in Ancient India, the “white elephant” stands for something rare, noble and venerated. Even in China, especially for the Dai Nationality, “white elephant” stands for happiness and beauty. Learning about the original meaning of “white elephants”, the perfectness of Hemingway’s symbolism appears. After reading the whole story, it is obvious to the reader that the operation that the girl is asked to have is an abortion one, so it is sure that the “white elephant” stands for the baby, which is a beautiful thing to the girl who is longing for it and doesn’t want to lose it, but a burdensome and useless thing for the man who doesn’t want to keep it. This metaphor is undoubtedly perfect for its connection with the different feelings of the two figures towards the baby. Secondly, the “white elephants” also stands for the pregnant somatotype of the girl. Look at the sentences: “The girl was looking off at the line of hills. They were white in the sun and the country was brown and dry.” (qtd. in Long Maozhong, Yan Jinglan and Wang Hui 384) In the literature, this is a popular writing method that by describing the surroundings to show the feelings. Obviously, there is a contrary of two different inner m
