海明威以塑造了一系列“硬汉”形象著称于世。这些“硬汉”形象的共同之处是冷静而“优雅”地面对死亡,接受死亡,甚至欢迎死亡。但他《海流中的岛屿》因未完成,长期以来一直为评论界所漠视。事实上,本作品中的主人公托马斯.赫德森也有“硬汉”们所共同具备的一些性格特点:意志顽强、感情内敛,冷静地对待死亡。 Hemingway is famous for creating a series of “tough guys”. What these “tough guys” have in common is calmness, gracefulness, death, acceptance of death, and even death. However, his “islands in currents” have long been overlooked by critics for lack of completeness. In fact, Thomas Hudson, the protagonist of this work, also has some common characteristics of “tough guy” who are tenacious, emotionally restrained, and calm about death.
