老人和鱼

"Blessed virgin, pray for the death of this fish. Wonderful though he is."

"...Christ, I did not know he was so big."

一条难缠的大鱼，就像老人的对手，老人对它十分了解却也惺惺相惜

"I'll kill him though," he said. "In all his greatness and his glory."

But I will show him what a man can do and what a man endures.

此处还有老人的自信满满，以及遇到如此极品大鱼跃跃欲试就要成功的兴奋

"How do you feel, fish?"

"The fish is my friend, too," he said aloud. "I have never seen or heard of such a fish..."

老人认为鱼是他的朋友

But he was such a calm, strong fish and he seemed so fearless and so confident.

很久未遇到一个如此强壮的对手，（后来看到和大鱼搏斗，真心替老人捏一把汗）

dignity: calm controlled, and admirable

老人回忆和negro掰手腕时也体现了他的自信，和对对手的欣赏

对他的描述 a fine man and a great athlete, beaten. 老人和他棋逢对手，一天一夜才分出胜负。从那之后老人无人能敌。

He decided that he could beat anyone if he wanted badly enough

beaten: feels defeated and not respect

unjust: unfair

shrugged:

已经傍晚

The moon did not rise now until late

The sky was clouding over to the east and one after another the stars he knew were gone.
