我是臺(tái)詞控
桑提亞哥在海上一無所獲地漂流了84天后終于釣到一條巨大無比的馬林魚。這是一條比他的漁船還長2英尺的魚,拖著漁船整整兩天兩夜之后才被刺死。在回家的途中,老人又遭遇了鯊魚,經(jīng)過殊死的搏斗,馬林魚只剩下一副光禿禿的魚骨架……
電影中有很多暗喻,比如巨大的魚骨架,獅子和小男孩,他們或許象征著精神、力量和希望。“一艘船越過世界的盡頭,駛向未知的大海,船頭上懸掛著一面雖然飽經(jīng)風(fēng)雨卻依舊艷麗無比的旗幟,旗幟上舞動(dòng)著閃閃發(fā)光的四個(gè)字——超越極限!”作者海明威這樣評價(jià)他的作品《老人與?!?。這個(gè)骨頭里留有幾百塊彈片的硬漢作家,告訴我們怎么去面對生、老、病、死,告訴我們心該有多寬(如海一般)。老人是孤獨(dú)的,他是在理想的道路上前行的旅人,但他又是不孤獨(dú)的,因?yàn)樗囊庵臼悄菢拥膱?jiān)強(qiáng)。如果將鯊魚看作打擊,吃掉你的成功和幸福。但正如那孩子說的:“它沒有打敗你,它沒有?!保℉e didn't beat you. Not the fish.)
“人可以被毀滅,但不能被打敗” 、“我和你奉陪到死”——桑提亞哥面對挑戰(zhàn)時(shí)如是說。不可否認(rèn),只要是人就都會(huì)有缺陷,當(dāng)一個(gè)人承認(rèn)了這個(gè)缺陷并努力去戰(zhàn)勝它而不是去屈從它的時(shí)候,無論最后捕到的是一條完整的馬林魚還是一副空骨架,這又有什么關(guān)系?在理想主義者眼里,桑提亞哥就是勝利者,因?yàn)樗冀K沒有向大海,沒有向大馬林魚,更沒有向鯊魚妥協(xié)和投降。
But a man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.
人不是為失敗而生的。一個(gè)人可以被毀滅,但不能被打敗。
But, then, nothing is easy.
不過話得說回來,沒有一樁事是容易的。
It is silly not to hope, he thought.
人不抱希望是很傻的。
Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.
現(xiàn)在不是去想缺少什么的時(shí)候,該想一想憑現(xiàn)有的東西你能做什么。
孩子喜歡并且可憐這個(gè)老漁人。曼諾林要是自己沒有掙到錢,就會(huì)乞討或偷竊以保證桑提亞哥有足夠的食物和新鮮的魚餌。老人謙卑地接受孩子的好意,謙卑中帶有某種隱而不露的自豪感。
As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore, which was only a low green line on the sea.
太陽升起時(shí),他看到別的一些船只都頭朝著海岸,在海上看來,海岸像是一條接近地平線的綠帶子。
Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky,But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.
每一天都是一個(gè)新的日子。走運(yùn)當(dāng)然是好的,不過我情愿做到分毫不差。這樣,運(yùn)氣來的時(shí)候,你就有所準(zhǔn)備了。
But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions 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.
但是這些傷疤中沒有一塊是新的。它們像無魚可打的沙漠中被侵蝕的地方一般古老。他身上的一切都顯得古老,除了那雙眼睛,它們像海水一般藍(lán),是愉快而不肯認(rèn)輸?shù)摹?/p>
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.
陸地上空的云塊這時(shí)候像山岡般聳立著,海岸只剩下一條綠色的長線,背后是些青灰色的小山。海水此刻呈深藍(lán)色,深得有些發(fā)紫了。
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.
Keep your head clear and know how to suffer like a man.
保持你頭腦的清醒,并且懂得如何像一個(gè)男子漢那樣承受痛苦。
“It is not bad,” he said, “And pain does not matter to a man.”
“那還不錯(cuò),”他說,“并且,疼痛、傷痕對一個(gè)人來說不應(yīng)該讓其成為問題。
