一、《老人与海》节选 Excerpt of THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA“But man is not made for defeat,” he said、“A man can be destroyed but not defeated、” I am sorry that I killed the fish though, he thought、 Now the bad time is coming and I do not even have the harpoon、 The dentuso is cruel and able and strong and intelligent、 But I was more intelligent than he was、 Perhaps not, he thought、Perhaps I was only better armed、“Don’t think, old man,” he said aloud、“Sail on this course and take it when it comes、But I must think, he thought、 Because it is all I have left、 That and baseball、 I wonder how the great DiMaggio would have liked the way I hit him in the brain? It was no great thing, he thought、 Any man could do it、 But do you think my hands were as great a handicap as the bone spurs? I cannot know、 I never had anything wrong with my heel except the time the sting ray stung it when I stepped on him when swimming and paralyzed the lower leg and made the unbearable pain、“Think about something cheerful, old man,” he said、“Every minute now you are closer to home、 You sail

lighter for the loss of forty pounds、”“不过人不是为失败而生的”他说。“一个人可以被毁灭，但不能给打败。”不过我很痛心，把这鱼给杀了，他想。现在倒霉的时刻要来了，可我连鱼叉也没有。这条登多索鲨是残忍、能干、强壮而聪明的。但是我比它更聪明。也许并不，他想。也许我仅仅是武器比它强。“别想啦，老家伙，”他说出声来。“顺着这航线行驶，事到临头再对付吧。”但是我一定要想，他想。因为我只剩下这个了。这个，还有棒球。不知道那了不起的迪马吉奥可会喜欢我那样击中它的脑子？这不是什么了不起的事儿，他想。任何人都做得到。但是，你可以为，我这双受伤的手跟骨刺一样是个很大的不利条件？我没法知道。我的脚后跟从没出过毛病，除了有一次在游水时踩着了一条海鳐鱼，被它扎了一下，小腿麻痹了，痛得真受不了。“想点开心的事儿吧，老家伙”他说。“每过一分钟，你就离家近一步。丢了四磅鱼肉，你航行起来更轻快了。”

做。这会让我忘记城市的喧嚣，安静地待一段时间。”他总是对自己这样说。
