of

The Old Man and the Sea

Recently I have read The Old Man and the Sea, I was deeply moved by the old man and his spirit.The author of the book Ernest Hemingway is one of the most famous American novelist, short-story writer and essayist.The Old Man and the Sea was written in 1951 in Cuba, and published in 1952 and won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1953 and he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954.The book was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime.One of his most famous works.It’s a story about a old man struggling with nature, though he was defeated at last, in some extent, he has already challenged himself and nature.Santiago, the hero of the story, had gone eighty-four days without taking a fish back.At first, a boy named Manolion had been with him, but Santiagocatch even one fish.The boy had gone at his parents’ orders in a lucky boat which caught three good fish the first week.Santiago is a very old Cuban fisherman, even he had been unable to catch a single fish for totally eight-four days.He didn’t give up.he made his decision that he should fish again to get over the unlucky time.And he held the belief that he could do it and he would be lucky enough to fish, but meanwhile, he should go to

deeper

waters.On

the

85th

day, he caught a massive marlin.But after two days and nights' fierce and tough fighting, the old man was only to bring back a large colossal marlin skeleton, a worn-out boat, and his exhausted body.But he still be appreciated.I believe everybody who has read the book must admire Santiago’s perseverance.When I read “the senior fisherman think: Here to the seacoast really was too near, perhaps could have a bigger fish in a farther place...” I extremely admire this senior fisherman, because he by now already projected on some fish, but he had not settled to the present situation, but was approaches the bigger goal advance.When I read “the big marlin start fast to gather round the young fishing boat hover, twined the cable on the mast, the old person right hand lifted up high the steel fork, leapt the water surface in it the flash, did utmost throws to its heart, one wail ended the big fish's life, it was static floats on the water surface...My heart also liked together the big stone falls.I extremely admire old person that kind do not dread, the relentless spirit, although knows the match strength is very strong, but he not slightly flinches, but is welcomes difficultly above.There is no doubt that he is great, because he never gave up in the face of difficulties that he showed great endurance in his battle against the sea.“But a man is not made for defeat ,” he said, “A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” Santiago was old just as Hemingway said “Everything about him was old except hia eyes and they were the same color as the sae and were cheerful and undefeated.” He think every day is a new day, no matter how old he was.He said “It’s better to be lucky, but I would rather be exact.Then when l are luck comes you are ready.”

Santiago was poor, he had nothing except a little boat and harpoon.But he said “Now I not time to think what you do not have.Think of what you can do with what there is.” Somebody said Santiago was a failure.Because at last he wishes that it had been a dream and the boy cried for him can really approve it.In this way I think Santiago was a lucky person.Because he still had Mandolin.The boy loved him and pitied him.If Mandolin had no money his own, he begged or stole to make sure that Santiago had enough to eat and fresh baits for his lines.The old man accepts his kindness with humility that was like a quiet kind of pride.I think Santiago is a hero, not a failure.The value of his life was completely reflected in the way which he caught fish.He is the real winner in his own world.We can learn from him that no matter what difficulties we meet, we must hold our honor.We may lost this game, but we should never give ourselves up as hopeless.I am willing to live as the old man, to face any challenges in the future and never give up.“Vessel crossed the end of the world, into the unknown sea, hanging on the side of the bow while and rain erosion-stricken still incomparably beautiful flag, banner, brandishing a Yunlong general words glittering-beyond the limit”This is the author Hemingway’s evaluation of his work “The Old Man and the Sea”.Life itself is an endless pursuit.It’s a long road, difficulty and full of bumpy, but as long as their indomitable courage and self-confidence to a heart to meet the challenge, he will always be a real winner!

第二篇：老人与海英文读书报告

A Book Report of The Old Man and the Sea The Old Man and the Sea is a novel written by Ernest Hemingway, an American novelist.The story is set in the 20th century after World War II, which is based on the novel written true story Hemingway himself has experienced.Exactly, it’s a story of an epic struggle between an old, seasoned fisherman and the greatest catch of his life.Leading character Santiago, an aged Cuban fisherman, has set out to sea and returned empty-handed.At first 84 days, he did not even fish one fish.He did not have enough food, and many locals to doubt his fishing technique.Some even laugh at him.So, He decided to go to the sea to fish food and proved that he is a skilled fisherman.On the eight-fifth day of his unlucky streak, Santiago does as promised, sailing his skiff far beyond the island’s shallow coastal waters and venturing into the Gulf Stream.At noon, a big fish, marlin, take the bait that Santiago has placed before.Although the old man expertly hooks the fish, but he cannot pull it in.Instead, the fish begins to pull the boat.He knows perfectly well very difficult to win, but still did not give up.Since then, they began their three-day fighting.The entire time, Santiago, endures constant pain from the fishing line.Eventually, the third day, the fish tires, and Santiago manages to pull the marlin in close enough to kill it with a harpoon thrust.However, things do not go smoothly as he expected.On his way home, he is attacked buy several crowds of shark.Although he kills the sharks in the end, they have devoured the marlin’s precious meat, leaving only skeleton.The old man arrives home before daybreak, and sleeps very deeply.Later on, the old man wakes up and finds the little boy Mandolin staying with him, and decides to go to sea to fish again.In fact, the story contains many different symbols and themes.By reading this book, I was deeply impressed by the old man and what he said “a man can be destroyed but not defeated.” Santiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated.Instead, he emerges as a hero.Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world.But the struggle somehow enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.The old man sets a good example for us.He teachers us that we

should fight and never lose faith, never give up.No matter how hard the life is, it’s possible for us to overcome the difficulties.简介

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works.Told in language of great simplicity and power,it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman,down on his luck,and his supreme ordeal——a relentless,agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.Here Hemingway recasts,in strikingly contemporary style,the classic thene of courage in the face of defeat,of personal triumph won from los.Written in 1952,this hugely successfully novella confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a huge part in his

winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.Ernest Hemingway The Old Man and the Sea may very well become one of the true classics of this generation.Certainly, the qualities of Ernest Hemingway's short novel are those which we associate with many great stories of the past: near perfection of form within the limitations of its subject matter, restraint of treatment, regard for the unities of time and place, and evocative simplicity of style.Also, like most great stories, it can be read on more than one level of meaning.On one it is an exciting but tragic adventure story.Sustained by the pride of his calling, the only pride he has left, a broken old fisherman ventures far out into the Gulf Stream and there hooks the biggest marlin ever seen in those waters.Then, alone and exhausted by his struggle to harpoon the giant fish, he is forced into a losing battle with marauding sharks;they leave him nothing but the skeleton of his catch.On another level the book is a fable of the unconquerable spirit of man, a creature capable of snatching spiritual victory from circumstances of disaster and material defeat.On still another it is a parable of religious significance, its theme supported by the writer's unobtrusive handling of Christian symbols and metaphors.Like Coleridge's Ancient Mariner, Hemingway's Cuban fisherman is a character allowing the imagination of his creator to operate simultaneously in two different worlds of meaning and value, the one real and dramatic, the other moral and devotionally symbolic.老 人 与 海

〔美〕海明威? 杨枕旦 译注

《老人与海》完全可能成为当代一部名副其实的经典作品。厄纳斯特•海明威的这部短篇小说无疑具有以往许多巨著的共同特点： 在题材所限的范围内几乎达到形式上的完美无缺、处理方法谨严、注意时间和地点的统一，行文简洁而内涵很深。另外，和极大多数巨著一样，海明威的这篇小说读起来可有不止一层的意思。一方面，这是一个激动人心的带有悲剧性的冒险故事。故事讲到一个精神沮丧的老渔人，在他对职业的自豪感(他留下的唯一自豪感)的支持之下，冒险远航至墨西哥湾流并在那里钓住了一条该水域中从未见过的最大的马林鱼。故事接着说到他孤零零地、在因奋力叉住这条大鱼而耗尽了力气之后，被迫投入一场和一群海盗似的鲨鱼的绝望的搏斗之中，结果是那些鲨鱼只给他留下了猎获物的一具骨架。另一方面，这又是一个寓言，它描述了人所具有的不可征服的精神力量——一个人如何从灾难和实际失败的环境中攫取精神上的胜利。再一方面，这是带有宗教意义的一种隐喻，作者不引人注目地给这一主题添加了基督教的一些象征和比喻。和柯勒律治笔下的“老水手”一样，海明威笔下的古巴渔民是这样一个角色，他容许作者的想象力同时在两个领域中活动，这两个领域具有不同的意义和价值，一个注意写实，有着动人的情节；另一个则侧重道德说教，充满象征的意义。

For eighty four days old Santiago had not caught a single fish.At first a young boy, Manolin, had shared his bad fortune, but after the fortieth luckless day the boy's father told his son to go in another boat.From that

time on Santiago worked alone.Each morning he rowed his skiff out into the Gulf Stream where the big fish were.Each evening he came in empty-handed.桑提亚哥老人已经八十四天没有捕到一条鱼了。最初，一个年轻的孩子曼诺林和他一起分担恶运，但在过了四十天倒霉日子之后，孩子的爸爸让孩子到另一条船上干活去了。从那个时候起，桑提亚哥只是一个人干活。每天早晨他划着小船到有大鱼出没的墨西哥湾流去，每天晚上他总是两手空空地回来。

The boy loved the old fisherman and pitied him.If Manolin had no money of his own, he begged or stole to make sure that Santiago had enough to eat and fresh baits for his lines.The old man accepted his kindness with humility that was like a quiet kind of pride.Over their evening meals of rice or black beans they would talk about the fish they had taken in luckier times or about American baseball and the great DiMaggio.At night, alone in his shack, Santiago dreamed of lions on the beaches of Africa, where he had gone on a sailing ship years before.He no longer dreamed of his dead wife.孩子喜欢并且可怜这个老渔人。曼诺林要是自己没有挣到钱，就会乞讨或偷窃以保证桑提亚哥有足够的食物和新鲜的鱼饵。老人谦卑地接受孩子的好意，谦卑中带有某种隐而不露的自豪感。晚餐时(吃的是大米饭和黑蚕豆)他们总会谈论在运气好的日子里一起捕获的大鱼，或是谈论美国的棒球赛和伟大的狄马吉奥。夜间桑提亚哥一个人躺在自己的小棚屋里，梦见非洲海滩上的狮子，几年前他航海去过那个地方。他不再梦见自己死去的老婆了。

On the eighty-fifth day Santiago rowed out of the harbor in the cool dark before dawn.After leaving the smell of land behind him, he set his lines.Two of his baits were fresh tunas the boy had given him, as well as sardines to cover his hooks.The lines went straight down into deep dark water.在第八十五天，桑提亚哥在寒冷的黎明前的黑暗中，把小船划出了港口。在把陆地的气息抛在身后之后，他放下了钓丝。他的两个鱼饵是孩子给他的鲜金枪鱼，还有把鱼钩遮盖起来的沙丁鱼。钓丝垂直地下到暗黑的深水里。

As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore, which was only a low green line on the sea.A hovering man-of-war bird showed him where dolphin were chasing some flying fish, but the school was moving too fast and too far away.The bird circled again.This time Santiago saw tuna leaping in the sunlight.A small one took the hook on his stern line.Hauling the quivering fish aboard, the old man thought it a good omen.Toward noon a marlin started nibbling at the bait which was one hundred fathoms down.Gently the old man played the fish, a big one, as he knew from the weight on the line.At last he struck to settle the hook.The fish did not surface.Instead, it began to tow the skiff to the northwest.The old man braced himself, the line taut across his shoulders.Although he was alone and no longer strong, he had his skill and knew many tricks.He waited patiently for the fish to tire.太阳升起时，他看到别的一些船只都头朝着海岸，在海上看来海岸象是一条接近地平线的绿带子。一只盘旋的军舰鸟给老人指明了海豚追逐飞鱼的地方。但是鱼群游得太快、也太远了。这只猛禽又在盘旋了，这次桑提亚哥瞧见金枪鱼在太阳光下跃起。一条小金枪鱼咬住了他艉缆上的鱼钩。老人在把颤动的金枪鱼拉上船板以后，心想这可是一个好兆头。

The old man shivered in the cold that came after sunset.When something took one of his remaining baits, he cut the line with his sheath knife.Once the fish lurched suddenly, pulling Santiago forward on his face and cutting his cheek.By dawn his left hand was stiff and cramped.The fish had headed northward;there was no land in sight.Another strong tug on the line sliced Santiago's right hand.Hungry, he cut strips from the tuna

and chewed them slowly while he waited for the sun to warm him and ease his cramped fingers.That morning the fish jumped.Seeing it leap, Santiago knew he had hooked the biggest marlin he had even seen.Then the fish went under and turned toward the east.Santiago drank sparingly from his water bottle during the hot afternoon.Trying to forget his cut hand and aching back, he remembered the days when men had called him Campeon and he had wrestled with a giant Negro in the tavern at Cienfuegos.Once an airplane droned overhead on its way to Miami.快到中午时，一条马林鱼开始啃起一百深处的那块鱼饵来了。老人轻轻地摆布那条上了钩的鱼，根据钓丝的份量他知道那准是一条大鱼。最后他猛拉钓丝把鱼钩给稳住了。但是，那条鱼并没有浮出水面，反而开始把小船拖着往西北方向跑。老人打起精神，斜挎在肩膀上的钓丝绷得紧紧的。他虽然孤身一人，体力也不如从前，但是他有技术，他懂得许多诀窍。他耐心地等待鱼累乏下来。

Close to nightfall a dolphin took the small hook he had rebaited.He lifted the fish aboard, careful not to jerk the line over his shoulder.After he had rested, he cut fillets from the dolphin and kept also the two flying fish he found in its maw.That night he slept.He awoke to feel the line running through his fingers as the fish jumped.Feeding line slowly, he tried to tire the marlin.After the fish slowed its run.he washed his cut hands in sea water and ate one of the flying fish.At sunrise the marlin began to circle.Faint and dizzy, he worked to bring the big fish nearer with each turn.Almost exhausted, he finally drew his catch alongside and drove in the harpoon.He drank a little water before he lashed the marlin to bow and stern of his skiff.The fish was two feet longer than the boat.No catch like it had ever been seen in Havana harbor.It would make his fortune, he thought, as he hoisted his patched sails and set his course toward the southwest.日落之后，寒意袭人，老人冷得发抖。当他剩下的鱼饵中有一块被咬住时，他就用自己那把带鞘的刀把钓丝给割断了。有一次那条鱼突然一个侧身，把桑提亚哥拉得脸朝下地跌了一跤，老人的颊部也给划破了。黎明时分，他的左手变得僵硬并抽起筋来了。那条鱼还是一直往北游，一点陆地的影子都瞧不见了。钓丝又一次猛的一拉，把老人的右手给勒伤了。老人肚子饿得发慌，就从金枪鱼身上割下几片肉，放在嘴里慢慢嚼着，等着太阳出来晒暖他的身子和减轻手指抽筋的痛苦。

An hour later he sighted the first shark.It was a fierce Mako, and it came in fast to slash with raking teeth at the dead marlin.With failing might the old man struck the shark with his harpoon.The Mako rolled and sank, carrying the harpoon with it and leaving the marlin mutilated and bloody.Santiago knew the scent would spread.Watching, he saw two shovel nosed sharks closing in.He struck at one with his knife lashed to the end of an oar and watched the scavenger sliding down into deep water.The other he killed while it tore at the flesh of the marlin.When the third appeared, he thrust at it with the knife, only to feel the blade snap as the fish rolled.The other sharks came at sunset.At first he tried to club them with the tiller from the skiff, but his hands were raw and bleeding and there were too many in the pack.In the darkness, as he steered toward the faint glow of Havana against the sky, he heard them hitting the carcass again and again.But the old man thought only of his steering and his great tiredness.He had gone out too far and the sharks had beaten him.He knew they would leave him nothing but the stripped skeleton of his great catch.第二天早上，这条鱼蹦出了水面。桑提亚哥瞧见鱼的跃起，知道自己钓到了一条未见过的最大的马林鱼。一会儿鱼又往下沉去，转向了东方。在炽热的下午，桑提亚哥节省地喝起水壶里的水。为了忘掉划破的手和疼痛的背，他回想起过去人们如何称他为“优胜者”和他如何在西恩富戈斯地方一家酒馆里和一个大个子黑人比手劲。有一次一架飞机嗡嗡地从头上掠过，向迈阿密飞去。

All lights were out when he sailed into the little harbor and beached his skiff.In the gloom he could just make out the white backbone and the upstanding tail of the fish.he started up the shore with the mast and furled sail of his boat.Once he fell under their weight and lay patiently until he could gather his strength.In his shack he fell on his bed and went to sleep.黄昏之际，一条海豚吞食了他重新放上鱼饵的小钩子。他把这条“鱼”提到了船板上，小心不去拉动他肩上的钓丝。休息一会之后，他切下几片海豚肉并且把在海豚胃中发现的两条飞鱼留了下来。那天夜里他睡着了。他醒来时觉得当这条鱼跳起时钓丝就滑过他的手指。他缓慢地把钓丝放松，尽力想把这条马林鱼拖乏。在这条大鱼放慢跳跃时，他把划破的双手放在海里洗，并且吃了一条飞鱼。日出时，这条马林鱼开始打起转来了。老人感到头晕目眩，但他尽力把大鱼在每转一圈时拉得更近一些。他虽然几乎筋疲力尽，终于还是把自己的捕获物拉得和小船并排在一起并用鱼叉猛击这条马林鱼。他喝了一点水，然后把马林鱼捆绑在他那条小船的头部和尾部。这条马林鱼比船还长两英尺。哈瓦那港从来没有见过捕到这么大的鱼，他扯起有补丁的船帆开始向西南方向驶去，心想这下要发财了。

There the boy found him later that morning.Meanwhile other fishermen, gathered about the skiff, marveled at the giant marlin, eighteen feet long from nose to tail.When Manolin returned to Santiago's shack with hot coffee, the old man awoke.The boy, he said, could have the spear of his fish.Manolin told him to rest, to make himself fit for the days of fishing they would have together.All that afternoon the old man slept, the boy sitting by his bed.Santiago was dreaming of lions.— Excerpts from Masterpieces of World Literature in Digest Form 一个小时以后，他瞧见了第一条鲨鱼。这是一条凶猛的尖吻鲭鲨。它飞快地游了过来，用耙一样的牙齿撕这条死马林鱼。老人用尽余力把鱼叉往鲨鱼身上扎去。尖吻鲭鲨打着滚沉下去了，带走了鱼叉，而且已经把马林鱼咬得残缺不全，鲜血直流。桑提亚哥知道血腥味会散开来。他望着海面，看到两条犁头鲨游近来了。他用绑在桨的一头的刀子击中了其中的一条，
