The Iceberg Theory is a term used to describe the writing style of American writer Ernest Hemingway. The theory is this: The meaning of a piece is not immediately evident, because the crux of the story lies below the surface, just as most of the mass of a real iceberg similarly lies beneath the surface. For example, The Old Man and the Sea is a meditation upon youth and age, even though the protagonist spends little or no time thinking on those terms。

In Death in the AfternoonIf, Hemingway wrote: a writer of prose knows enough of what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an ice-berg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water。
在《午后之死》中，海明威寫道：如果一個作家真正知道自己在寫什么的話，即使他省略掉這些東西，讀者還是能夠理解他想要表達(dá)的內(nèi)容。冰山運(yùn)動之雄偉壯觀，是因?yàn)樗挥邪朔种辉谒嫔稀?br />
