The Old Man and the Sea《老人与海》

But man is not made for defeat...A man can be destroyed but not defeated.

——海明威

The Old Man and the Seais written by the American authorErnest Hemingway（欧内斯特•海明威）.One of his most famous workstells the story ofSantiago,anagingCubanfishermanwho struggles with a giantmarlinfar out in theGulf Streamoff the coast of Florida.

Highlights：

"But I try not to borrow. First you borrow. Then you beg."

“不过我不想借钱。第一步是借钱。下一步就要讨饭啰。”

"You'll not fish without eating while I'm alive." "Then live a long time and take care of yourself," the old man said.

“只要我活着，你就决不会不吃饭就去打鱼。”“这么说，祝你长寿，多保重自己吧，”老人说。

Only I have no luck any more. But who knows? Maybe today. 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.

问题只在于我的运气就此不好了。可是谁说得准呢？说不定今天就转运。每一天都是一个新的日子。走运当然是好。不过我情愿做到分毫不差。这样，运气来的时候，你就有所准备了。
