It is silly not to hope， he thought.
　　他认为，人不抱希望是很傻的。
　　But， then， nothing is easy.
　　不过话得说回来，没有一桩事是容易的。
　　But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.
　　可人不是为失败而生。一个人可以被毁灭，但不能给打败。
　　Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.
　　现在不是去想缺少什么的时候，该想一想凭现有的东西你能做什么。
　　But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions[侵蚀] in a fishless desert. Everything about him was old except his eyes， and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.
　　但是这些伤疤中没有一块是新的。它们像无鱼可打的沙漠中被侵蚀的地方一般古老。他身上的一切都显得古老，除了那双眼睛，它们像海水一般蓝，是愉快而不肯认输的。
　　The clouds over the land now rose like mountains， and the coast was only a long green line with the gray blue hills behind it. The water was a dark blue now， so dark that it was almost purple.
　　陆地上空的云块这时候像山冈般耸立着，海岸只剩下一长条绿色的线，背后是些灰蓝色的小山。海水此刻呈现深蓝色，深得几乎发紫。
　　As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore， which was only a low green line on the sea.
　　太阳升起时，他看到其他一些船只都头朝着海岸，在海上看来海岸就像是一条接近地平线的绿带子。
　　When the third appeared， he thrust at it with the knife， only to feel the blade[刀片] snap as the fish rolled.
　　当第三条鲨鱼出现时，他拿刀子向鲨鱼戳去。鲨鱼打了一个滚，结果把刀给折断了。
　　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.
　　但老人此时想到的只是掌舵和他自己极度的疲乏。他出海太远了，那些鲨鱼把他打败了。他知道那些鲨鱼除了大马林鱼的空骨架之外，是什么也不会给他留下的。
