1.They sailed well and the old man soaked his hands in the salt water and tried to keep his head clear. There were high cumulus clouds and enough cirrus above them so that the old man knew the breeze would last all night. The old man looked at the fish constantly to make sure it was true. It was an hour before the first shark hit him.
1、他們航行得很好，老人把手浸在鹽水里，努力保持頭腦清醒。積云堆聚得很高，上空還有相當(dāng)多的卷云，因此老人看出這風(fēng)將刮上整整一夜。老人時常對魚望望，好確定真有這么回事。這時候是第一條鯊魚襲擊他的前一個鐘點。
2.The shark was not an accident. He had come up from deep down in the water as the dark cloud of blood had settled and dispersed in the mile deep sea. He had come up so fast and absolutely without caution that he broke the surface of the blue water and was in the sun. Then he fell back into the sea and picked up the scent and started swimming on the course the skiff and the fish had taken.
2、這條鯊魚的出現(xiàn)不是偶然的。當(dāng)那一大片暗紅的血朝一英里的海里下沉并擴(kuò)散的時候，它從水底深處上來了。它竄上來得很么快，全然不顧一切，竟然沖破了藍(lán)色的水面，來到陽光里。跟著它又掉回海里，嗅到了血腥氣的蹤跡，就順著小船和那魚所走的路線游去。
3.Sometimes he lost the scent. But he would pick it up again, or have just a trace of it, and he swam fast and hard on the course. He was a very big make shark built to swim as fast as the fastest fish in the sea and everything about him was beautiful except his jaws. His back was as blue as a sword fish's and his belly was silver and his hide was smooth and handsome. He was built as a sword fish except for his huge jaws which were tight shut now as he swam fast, just under the surface with his high dorsal fin knifing through the water without wavering. Inside the closed double lip of his jaws all of his eight rows of teeth were slanted inwards. They were not the ordinary pyramid-shaped teeth of most sharks. They were shaped like a man's fingers when they are crisped like claws. They were nearly as long as the fingers of the old man and they had razor-sharp cutting edges on both sides. This was a fish built to feed on all the fishes in the sea, that were so fast and strong and well armed that they had no other enemy. Now he speeded up as he smelled the fresher scent and his blue dorsal fin cut the water.
3、有時候它迷失了那氣味。但是它總會重新嗅到，或者就嗅到那么一點兒，就飛快地使勁跟上。它是條很大的灰鯖鯊，生就一副好體格，能游得跟海里最快的魚一般快。周身的一切都很美，除了它的上下顎。它的背部和劍魚的一般藍(lán)，肚子是銀色的，魚皮光滑而漂亮。它長得和劍魚一般，除了它那張正緊閉著的大嘴。它眼下就在水面下迅速地游著，高聳的脊鰭像刀子般劃破水面，一點也不抖動。在這緊閉著的雙唇里面，八排牙齒全都朝里傾斜著。它們和大多數(shù)鯊魚牙齒不同，不是一般的金字塔形。它們像爪子般蜷曲起來的人的手指，幾乎跟這老人的手指一般長，兩邊都有刀片般鋒利的快口。這種魚生就拿海里所有的魚當(dāng)食料，它們游得那么快、那么健壯，武器齊備，所向無敵。它聞到了這新鮮的血腥氣，此刻正加快了速度，藍(lán)色的脊鰭劃破了水面。
4.When the old man saw him coming he knew that this was a shark that had no fear at all and would do exactly what he wished. He prepared the harpoon and mare the rope fast while he watched the shark come on. The rope was short as it lacked what he had cut away to lash the fish. The old man's head was clear and good now and he was full of resolution but he had little hope. It was too good to last, he thought. He took one look at the great fish as he watched the shark close in. It might as well have been a dream, he thought. I cannot keep him from hitting me but maybe I can get him, Dentist, he thought. Bad luck to your mother.
4、老的看見它正在游來，看出這是條毫無畏懼而堅決為所欲為的鯊魚。他準(zhǔn)備好了魚叉，系緊了繩子，同時注視著鯊魚向前游來。繩子短了，缺了他割下用來綁魚的那一截。老人此刻頭腦清醒正常，充滿了決心，但并不抱著多少希望。光景太好了，不可能持久的，他想。他注視著鯊魚在逼近，抽空朝那條大魚望上一眼，這簡直等于是一場夢。我沒法阻止它來襲擊我，但是也許我能弄死它。登多索鯊，他想，你它媽交上壞運(yùn)啦。
5.The shark closed fast astern and when he hit the fish the old man saw his mouth open and his strange eyes and the clicking chop of the teeth as he drove forward in the meat just above the tail. The shark's head was out of water and his back was coming out and the old man could hear the noise of skin and flesh ripping on the big fish when he rammed the harpoon down onto the shark's head at a spot where the line between his eyes intersected with the line that ran straight back from his nose. There were no such lines. There was only the heavy sharp blue head and the big eyes and the clicking, thrusting all-swallowing jaws. But that was the location of the brain and the old man hit it. He hit it with his blood-mushed hands driving a good harpoon with all his strength. lie hit it without hope but with resolution and complete malignancy.
5、鯊魚飛速地逼近船梢，它襲擊那魚的時候，老人看見它張開了嘴，看見它那雙奇異的眼睛，它咬住魚尾巴上面一點兒的地方，牙齒咬得嘎吱嘎吱響。鯊魚的頭露出在水面上，背部正在出水。老人聽見那條大魚的皮肉被撕裂的聲音。這時候，他用魚叉朝下猛地扎進(jìn)鯊魚的腦袋，正扎在它兩眼之間的那條線和從鼻子筆直通到腦后的那條線的交叉點上。這兩條線實際是并不存在的。只有那沉重、尖銳的藍(lán)色腦袋。兩只大眼睛和那嘎吱作響、吞噬一切的突出的兩顎�？墒悄莾赫悄X子的所在，老人直朝它扎去。他使出全身的力氣，用糊著鮮血的雙手，把一支好魚叉向它扎去。他扎它，并不抱著希望，但是帶著決心和十足的惡意。
6.The shark swung over and the old man saw his eye was not alive and then lie swung over once again, wrapping himself in two loops of the rope. The old man knew that he was dead but the shark would not accept it. Then, on his back, with his tail lashing and his jaws clicking, the shark plowed over the water as a speedboat docs. The water was white where his tail beat it and three-quarters of his body was clear above the water when the rope came taut, shivered, and then snapped. The shark lay quietly for a little while on the surface and the old man watched him. Then he went down very slowly.
6、鯊魚翻了個身，老人看出它眼睛里已經(jīng)沒有生氣了，跟著它又翻了個身，自行纏上了兩道繩子。老人知道這鯊魚快死了，但它還是不肯認(rèn)輸。它這時肚皮朝上，尾巴撲打著，兩顎嘎吱作響，像一條快艇般劃破著水面。它的尾巴把水拍打得泛出白色。四分之三的身體露出在水面上，這時繩子給繃緊了，抖了一下，啪地斷了。鯊魚在水面上靜靜地躺了片刻，老人緊盯著它。然后它慢慢地沉下去了。
7."He took about forty pounds," the old man said aloud. He took my harpoon too and all the rope, he thought, and now my fish bleeds again and there will be others.
7、“它吃掉了約莫四十磅肉”，老人說出聲來。它把我的魚叉也帶走了，還有那么多繩子，他想，而且現(xiàn)在我這條魚又在淌血，其他鯊魚也會來的。
8.He did not like to look at the fish anymore since he had been mutilated. When the fish had been hit it was as though he himself were hit. But I killed the shark that hit my fish, he thought. And he was the biggest dentuso that I have ever seen. And God knows that 1 have seen big ones.
8、他不忍心死魚看上一眼因為它已經(jīng)被咬得殘缺不全了。魚遭到襲擊的的時侯，感到就像自己遭到襲擊一樣.可是我殺死了條襲擊我的魚的鯊魚，他想因而它足我見到過的犀大的登多索鯊。天知道，我確實見過一大的。
9.It was too good to last, he thought. I wish it had been a dream now and that I had never hooked the fish arid was alone in bed on the newspapers.
9、光景太好了,不可能持久的,他想.但愿這是場夢，我根本沒有釣到這條魚魚，正獨自躺在床上鋪的剛報紙上。
