（據本人理解應為指早年初戀女友，那個護士的背叛）呵呵，還好這雙眼睛現在還挺好。

* water was a dark blue now, so dark that it was almost purple. 如今的海水是深藍色的，深到幾乎成了紫色。
* people are heartless about turtles because a turtle’s heart will beat for hours after he has been cut up and butchered. But the old man thought, I have such a heart too and my feet and hands are like theirs. 大多數人對待（海龜、甲魚之類的動物吧）很冷酷無情，因為海龜的心會在它身體被剖開和屠殺時，被時光打敗。
（此句照應“A man can be destroyed but not defeated ” “一個人可以被毀滅但是不能被打倒！”）

此刻是只能思考一件事情的時候。
那是，我生來是為了什麼。
* was considered a virtue not to talk unnecessarily at sea and the old man had always considered it so and respected it. But now he said his thoughts aloud many times since there was no one that they could annoy. 可以想象品德在海里就不必要說起了，而老人以前卻總是思考著，尊敬著它。
可是現在，自從沒有了一個可能打攪的人，他就把那些想法高聲的說出來，好多次。
* tuna, the fishermen called all the fish of that species tuna and only distinguished among them by their proper names when they came to sell them or to trade them for bait, were down again.

* felt no strain nor weight and he held the line lightly. Then it came again. This time it was a tentative pull, not-solid nor heavy, and he knew exactly what it was. 他感覺沒有什麼拉力和重量，而輕輕的抓住魚線。
之后它（指大魚）又來了。
這次它僅僅拉了一會兒，不沉也不重，而他已經清楚的知道那是什麼魚了.
* you said a good thing, it might not happen. 如果你說出了一件好的事情，那么那件好事可能就會不出現了。
（大概可以理解為“天機不可泄露”）

但是我知道，我會做一些事情。
還有很多東西我可以做。
* he looked behind him and saw that no land was visible. That makes no difference, he thought. 然后他望向背后，卻發現，沒有一塊可以看見的陸地。

你不能做任何愚蠢的事情。
然后他大聲的說：“我希望身邊有個男孩，可以幫助我，還有可以看到這。”

他像一個男子漢那樣，拿著誘餌還有拉著線，無畏的搏斗著。
我想知道，他是否有任何的安排，或者，他只是像我一樣，絕望了。

*s I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for. 或許我不應該成為一個漁夫，他想。

* could feel the steady hard pull of the line and his left hand was cramped. It drew up tight on the heavy cord and he looked at it in disgust.
“What kind of a hand is that,” he said. “Cramp then if you want. Make yourself into a claw. It will do you no good.” 他能感覺到支架艱難的拉著，但是他的左手卻被夾住了。

憑良心，他慢慢的吃掉了所有楔形的細長的魚。
* looked across the sea and knew how alone he was now. But he could see the prisms in the deep dark water and the line stretching ahead and the strange undulation of the calm. The clouds were building up now for the trade wind and he looked ahead and saw a flight of wild ducks etching themselves against the sky over the water, the blurring, then etching again and he knew no man was ever alone on the sea. 他眺望著海面，知道他此刻是多么孤單。
但是他可以看見在黑暗的深水里的棱鏡和魚線往前和那平靜的波動。
云朵現在貿易風，他朝前望去，看到一個飛行的野鴨在水面上的天空，模糊，然后蝕刻再次和他知道沒有人是獨自在海上。
24.I hate a cramp, he thought. It is a treachery of one’s own body. It is humiliating before others to have a diarrhoea from ptomaine poisoning or to vomit from. But a cramp, he thought of it as a calambre, humiliates oneself especially when one is alone. 我恨抽筋，他想。
這是對自己身體的背叛行為。
它是在別人面前丟臉由于食物中毒而腹瀉或者嘔吐。
但是抽筋，他認為這是一個calambre侮辱自己，尤其是當一個人是孤單的。
* I were him I would put in everything now and go until something broke. But, thank God, they are not as intelligent as we who kill them; although they are more noble and more able. 如果我是他，我會竭盡所能去直到事情發生。
但是，感謝上帝，他們是不是我們誰殺了他們的智能；雖然他們更高貴、更能。
26.I wonder why he jumped, the old man thought. He jumped almost as though to show me how big he was. I know now, anyway, he thought. I wish I could show him what sort of man I am. But then he would see the cramped hand. Let him think I am more man than I am and I will be so. I wish I was the fish, he thought, with everything he has against only my will and my intelligence.
我想知道為什么他跳了，老人想。
他就好像讓我看看他有多大。
現在我知道，無論如何，他認為。
我希望我也能讓他看看我是什么樣的人。
然后他會看到這只抽筋的手。
讓他覺得我比我的人，我會這樣。
我希望我的魚，他認為，他所做的一切對我的意志和我的智慧。
* was comfortable but suffering, although he did not admit the suffering at all. 他是舒適而痛苦，雖然他根本不承認是痛苦。
* commenced to say his prayers mechanically. Sometimes he would be so tired that he could not remember the prayer and then he would say them fast so that they would come automatically. 他機械地念起祈禱文。

“I ‘ll kill him though,” he said. “ In all his greatness and his glory.

* thousand times that he had proved it meant nothing. Now he was proving it again. Each time was a new time and he never thought about the past when he was doing it. 他證明了一千次這不意味著什么。
現在他再次證明這。
每一次都是一個新的時間，他從來沒有想過去當他做了它。
* I would rather be that beast down there in the darkness of the sea. 我還是情愿做那只待在黑暗的大海。
* did not truly feel good because the pain from the cord across his back had almost passed pain and gone into a dullness that he mistrusted. But I have had worse things than that, he thought. 他并不真的覺得好因為索勒在背上的疼痛幾乎已經疼進入了一種使他不信任。
但我有比這更糟糕的事情，他認為。
34.“The fish is my friend too,” he said aloud. “ I have never seen or heard of such a fish. But I must kill him. I am glad we do not have to try to kill the stars.” “這魚是我的朋友，”他大聲地說。
“我從來沒有見過或聽說過這樣的魚。
但我必須殺了他。
我很高興，我們不必去捕殺星星。”
* he was sorry for the great fish that had nothing to eat and his determination to kill him never relaxed in his sorrow for him. How many people will he feed, he thought. But are they worthy to eat him? No, of course not. There is no one worthy of eating him from the manner of his behaviour and his great diginity. 然后他很同情那條大魚，沒有東西吃，他決心要殺死他從未放松他為他而悲傷。
它能供多少人吃，他想。
但他們配吃它嗎？不，當然不是。
沒有人吃他從他的行為和他的偉大的尊嚴態度值得。
I do not understand these things, he thought. But it is good that we do not have to try to kill the sun or the moon or the stars. It is enough to live on the sea and kill our true brothers. 我不懂這些事，他認為。
但它是好的，我們不必去弄死太陽或月亮或星星。

39. I must hold his pain where it is, he thought. Mine does not matter. I can control mine. But his pain could drive him mad. 我一定要把握住他傷口所在之處，他想。
我的傷口不是問題，我可以控制住自己，但是他的傷口會讓他發怒，失去理智。
