Ernest Hemingway's writing style is very simple yet very powerful.

yet用法

yet用作连词时，与but一样也主要用于转折，意为“但是”“而”：

I have failed, yet I shall try again. 我失败了，但我还要尝试。

The judge was stern, yet completely fair. 法官很严峻，却完全公正。

They are the same, yet not the same. 它们又一样，又不一样。

It is strange, yet it is true. 那真是怪事，然而却是事实。

I’ve been away only for three years, yet I can hardly recognize my hometown. 我仅在外三年，可我几乎认不出我自己的故乡了。

有时用在句首。如：

Yet the house was cheerful. 但屋子里显得很欢快。

Yet its population has doubled. 但它的人口翻了一番。
