2 The boy left him there and when he came back the old man was still asleep. "Wake up old man,"the boy said and put his hand on one of the old man's knees. The old man opened his eyes and for a moment he was coming back from a long way away.Then he smiled. “What have you got?”he asked. “Supper,”said the boy.“We're going to have supper..” “T'm not very hungry." "Come on and eat.You can't fish and not eat." "I have,"the old man said,getting up and taking the newspaper and folding it.Then he started to fold the blanket. “Keep the blanket around you,”the boy said.“You''ll not fish without eating while I'm alive." "Then live a long time and take care of yourself,"the old man said. “What are we eating??" "Black beans and rice,fried bananas,and some stew 3."

"They say his father was a fisherman.Maybe he was as poor as we are and would understand."

"When I was your age I was before the mast on a square rigged ship that ran to Africa and I have seen lions on the beaches in the evening." “I know.You told me.” "Should we talk about Africa or about baseball?" “Baseball I think,”the boy said.“Tell me about the great John J. ·022· 老人与海 “他们今天输了。”男孩告诉他。 “那算不了什么。伟大的迪马吉奥又恢复往日 雄风了。” “他们这一队还有其他人啊。” “那是当然。可是有了他就不一样了。在另外 ①be oneself(人)处于正常 状态 那个联赛里，在布鲁克林和费城两队之间，我还是 2 naturally /'naet foroli/ad. 自然地 宁愿选择布鲁克林队。不过我又想到迪克·西斯勒 3 league An:g/n.同盟，联 在老公园里所击出的一记好球。” 盟，盟约 “从来没有人能击出像他那样的球。那是我 看过击出最远的球了。” “你可记得那时候他常常到酒吧来？我本来想 要带他一起去捕鱼，可是，我不敢问他。后来，我 叫你去问他，而你也不好意思开口呢！” ④timid'tim1d/a.胆小的， “我记得。那可真是一个天大的遗憾。他或许 羞怯的 行t00o太…以致不 会跟我们一起去的。那就够让我们回味一辈子了。” 能… “我很想带伟大的迪克·西斯勒去捕鱼，”老人 说，“听说他父亲也是一位渔夫。也许从前也和我们 一样穷，可以理解我们的境况。” “伟大的西斯勒的父亲可从来没有穷过，他父 亲像我这个年龄的时候就已经在联赛里打球了。” “而我在你这个年龄时，就在一艘专跑非洲的 方帆船上当水手，那时晚上在海滩上还看见过狮 子。” 0 square/skwea/a.正方形 的，四方的 “我知道。你跟我提起过。” ①rigged/rigd/a.装备的 “我们要谈非洲还是棒球呢？” 8 beach/bi:tf/n海滩 “我想还是棒球，”男孩说，“说一说伟大的约 翰·杰麦格劳的事。”他把“杰”念成“裘塔”。 “在以前，他偶尔也会到露天酒吧来。但是喝 醉了酒就会变得很粗暴，说话很凶，脾气又坏。他 ·023· The Old Man and the Sea McGraw."He said Jota for J.

"Who is the greatest manager,really,Luque or Mike Gonzalez?" “I think they are equal同，” "And the best fisherman is you." “No.I know others better..” “Que va!”the boy said.“There are many good fishermen and some great ones.But there is only you."

The boy went out.They had eaten with no light on the table and the old man took off his trousers and went to bed in the dark.He rolled his trousers up to make a pillow3,putting the newspaper inside them.He rolled himself in the blanket and slept on the other old newspapers that covered the springs of the bed. He was asleep in a short time and he dreamed of Africa when he was a boy and the long golden beaches and the white beaches,so white they hurt your eyes,and the high capes s and the great brown mountains.He lived along that coast now every night and in his dreams he heard the surf roar and saw the native boats come riding through it.He smelled the tar and oakum of the deck as he slept and he smelled the smell of Africa that the land breeze brought at morning. Usually when he smelled the land breeze he woke up and dressed to go and wake the boy.But tonight the smell of the land breeze came very early and he knew it was too early in his dream and went on dreaming to see the white peaks of the Islands rising from the sea and then he dreamed of the different harbours and roadsteads of the Canary Islands. He no longer dreamed of storms,nor of women,nor of great occurrences,nor of great fish,nor fights,nor contests of strength, nor of his wife.He only dreamed of places now and of the lions on the ·026· 老人与海 “我不知道。”男孩说，“我只知道年轻的孩子早 上总是起不来，而且睡得沉。” “我会记住的，”老人说，“我会准时去叫醒你。” “我不喜欢让他来叫醒我。这样我好像矮一截 ①inferior An'fionol a.差的， 似的。” 次的 “我知道。” “老人家，好好睡。” 男孩回去了。他们在没有灯光的餐桌上吃过 饭，老人便脱下了长裤，在黑暗中准备上床睡觉 roll up卷起 了。他把长裤卷成一圈，再塞些报纸进去就成了枕 ③pillow /ptlou/n.枕头，枕 垫 头。然后，再用毯子裹住身体，睡在垫着旧报纸的 ④spring/sprg/m.弹簧，发 弹簧床上。 条 他很快就睡熟了，他梦见他孩提时到过的非 洲，看见长长的金色沙滩和白色沙滩，也梦见那雄 伟的海岬和灰棕色的山脉。如今，他每晚都会梦见 cape /keip/m.海角，岬 那海岸，梦中他可以听见海浪的呼啸声，看见当地 mountain/maontin/i山， 山脉 人的船只乘风破浪而来。睡梦中，他可以闻到甲板 ⑦surf/s3:fL拍岸浪 上的焦油味和填补船隙的旧麻絮味，还闻到了早晨 oarr:/n吼叫，怒号 9 tar/ta:/n.焦油，柏油 微风吹来的非洲大地味道。 0 oakum3ukam/n.麻絮， 填架（用于填寒船缝） 通常，老人只要一嗅到陆地吹来的微风就会 醒，他穿上衣服，去叫醒那男孩。只是今晚那陆地 吹来的风来得非常早，他在梦中也知道时间尚早， 就继续把梦做下去。接着，他梦见群岛的白色尖顶 从海面上浮起，然后，又梦见卡那利群岛的各个港 I roadstead /'raudsted/n. 湾和错泊地。 泊处 他已不再梦见暴风雨了，不再梦见女人，不再 occurrence /a'kArans/n. 件，发生的事情 梦见伟大的事件，不再梦见大鱼，不再梦见打架， 3 contest/kontest/i竞争 不再梦见比角力，更不再梦见死去的妻子了。如 今，他只梦见各种地方，还有海滩上的狮子。狮子 ·027·
