Among all his works, The Old Man and the Sea is a typical one to his unique writing style and technique. The language is simple and natural on the surface, but actually deliberate and artificial. Sometimes the simple style is made a little different. The dialogue is combined with the realistic and the artificial. The simplicity is highly suggestive, and often reflects the strong undercurrent of emotion. The Old Man and the Sea is full of facts, most of which comes from Hemingway’s own experience. So the way to use facts is a very important writing technique in this novel. The facts in the novel are selected and used as a device to make the fictional world accepted. In the forepart of the novel, they are used to show the quality of Santiago’s life, and are narrated simply and naturally; while in the latter part of the novel, they are used from inside Santiago’s own consciousness and form part of a whole scheme of the novel. Key words: facts; simplicity; artificial; iceberg theory 摘 要：在众伟大的美国作家中，海明威以独特的写作风格而著称。在他所有的作品中，《老???与海》最能体现他独特的写作风格和手法。这部小说语言看似简洁自然， 其实包含了作者的精心揣摩和润色加工。有时为了突出某一部分，作者会采用 长句代替短句。文中的对话内容真实、贴近生活，而表达形式则经过了艺术加工。《老人与海》这部小说中运用了大量的事实,他们大多来自于作者亲身经历。海明威
