Later, in Europe, he worked a driver for the Italian army until he was wounded and shipped home, where he again wrote for newspapers. Two years later, he moved to Paris, where he hoped(improve) his writing. There he became friends with other(America) writers, including Gertrude Stein and F.Scott Fitzgerald.
Hemingway developed a style of writing that was simple and direct. He chose words sparingly (保守地), avoided(use) adjectives, and trusted the reader to understand the (mean) of his writing. As he said, "I always try(write) on the principle (原则) of the iceberg (冰山). There is seven(eight) of it under water for every part that shows." This style continues to influence writers today.
