Abstract: As far as narrative structure and narrative rhythm are concerned, For Whom the Bell Tolls deserves to be Hemingways most successful and greatest novel, showing to full length Hemingways understanding of Spain for 18 years. The surface structure of space-time cuts in cross section a fragment of life, making the structure fairly compact. Application of stream of consciousness helps to shape characters in time and space longitudinally and probe into profound and serious problems as the historical record. This will undoubtedly increase the thickness and heaviness as well as tension of the work. Irregular and uneven form as well as treatment of ‘tense narration or soothing touch in situation, adding with continuation, reference and change in context, taking form of rhythm in relaxation, all these show the authors free and skilful artistry.

Key words: For Whom the Bell Tolls, narrative structure, cross section, stream of consciousness, narrative rhythm

摘要： 《丧钟为谁而鸣》就其叙述结构和叙述节奏来说，不愧为海明威“最成功最伟大的小说”，充分展现了海明威“十八年来所了解的有关西班牙的一切”。表层时空结构横截生活一个片段，使其结构相当紧凑；意识流手法的运用，使其在纵向的空间与时间中塑造人物形象，探讨深刻、严肃的问题，为历史存照。这无疑增加了作品的厚重和张力。参差有致的形式，情境上的“忙闲”处理，文脉的延续、照应和变化，形成了张弛有致的节奏，显示了收放自如的纯熟艺术技巧。
