《老人與海》是美國作家海明威於1951年在古巴寫的一篇中篇小說，於1952年出版。該作圍繞一位老年古巴漁夫，與一條巨大的馬林魚在離岸很遠的灣流中搏鬥而展開故事的講述。儘管海明威筆下的老人是悲劇性的，但他身上卻有著尼採「超人」的品質，泰然自若地接受失敗，沉著勇敢地面對死亡，這些「硬漢子」體現了海明威的人生哲學和道德理想，即人類不向命運低頭，永不服輸的鬥士精神和積極向上的樂觀人生態度。 它奠定了海明威在世界文學中的突出地位，這篇小說相繼獲得了1953年美國普立茲獎和1954年諾貝爾文學獎。
The Old Man and The Sea
Chapter1
老人與海 第一章
By Ernest Hemingway
He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff(n. 小帆船 )in the Gulf Stream(墨西哥灣流) and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boy's parents had told him that the old man was now definitely and finally salao(adj. 倒黴的), which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled(adj. 卷著的) lines or the gaff(n.魚鉤) and harpoon(n.魚叉) and the sail that was furled(v.捲起) around the mast(n.桅杆). The sail was patched(v.打補丁) with flour sacks(n.麻布) and, furled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat. The old man was thin and gaunt(adj. 憔悴的) with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. The brown blotches(n. 斑點) of the benevolent(adj. 仁慈的) skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks. The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep-creased(皺痕深的) scars from handling heavy fish on the cords. But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions(n.侵蝕) 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. "Santiago," the boy said to him as they climbed from the bank where the skiff was hauled(v. 拉；拖) up. "I could go with you again. We've made some money." The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him."No," the old man said. "You're with a lucky boat. Stay with them." "But remember how you went eighty-seven days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks." "I remember," the old man said. "I know you did not leave me because you doubted." "It was papa made me leave. I am a boy and I must obey him." "I know," the old man said. "It is quite normal." "No," the old man said. "But we have. Haven't we?" "Yes," the boy said. "Can I offer you a beer on the Terrace and then we'll take the stuff home." "Why not?" the old man said. "Between fishermen." They sat on the Terrace and many of the fishermen made fun of the old man and he was not angry. Others, of the older fishermen, looked at him and were sad. But they did not show it and they spoke politely about the current and the depths they had drifted their lines at and the steady good weather and of what they had seen. The successful fishermen of that day were already in and had butchered their marlin(槍魚) out and carried them laid full length across two planks, with two men staggering(v. 踉蹌) at the end of each plank, to the fish house where they waited for the ice truck to carry them to the market in Havana. Those who had caught sharks had taken them to the shark factory on the other side of the cove(n. 小海灣) where they were hoisted(v. 吊起) on a block and tackle(v.處理), their livers(n.肝臟) removed, their fins(n. 鰭) cut off and their hides(n. 皮) skinned out and their flesh cut into strips(n.條；帶) for salting.
譯文：
他是個獨自在灣流中一條小船上釣魚的老人，至今已去了八十四天，一條魚也沒逮住。頭四十天裡，有個男孩子跟他在一起。可是，過了四十天還沒捉到一條魚，孩子的父母對他說，老人如今準是十足地「倒了血黴」，這就是說，倒黴到了極點，於是孩子聽從了他們的吩咐，上了另外一條船，頭一個禮拜就捕到了三條好魚。孩子看見老人每天回來時船總是空的，感到很難受，他總是走下岸去，幫老人拿捲起的釣索，或者魚鉤和魚叉，還有繞在桅杆上的帆。帆上用麵粉袋片打了些補丁，收攏後看來象是一面標誌著永遠失敗的旗子。老人消瘦而憔悴，脖頸上有些很深的皺紋。腮幫上有些褐斑，那是太陽在熱帶海面上反射的光線所引起的良性皮膚癌變。褐斑從他臉的兩側一直蔓延下去，他的雙手常用繩索拉大魚，留下了刻得很深的傷疤。但是這些傷疤中沒有一塊是新的。它們象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，它們象海水一般藍，是愉快而不肯認輸的。 「聖地牙哥」，他們倆從小船停泊的地方爬上岸時，孩子對他說。「我又能陪你出海了。我家掙到了一點兒錢。」
「不，」老人說。「你遇上了一條交好運的船。跟他們待下去吧。」
「不過你該記得，你有一回八十七天釣不到一條魚，跟著有三個禮拜，我們每天都逮住了大魚。」
「我記得，」老人說。「我知道你不是因為沒把握才離開我的。」
「對，」孩子說。「我請你到露臺飯店去喝杯啤酒，然後一起把打魚的家什帶回去。」
他們坐在飯店的露臺上，不少漁夫拿老人開玩笑，老人並不生氣。另外一些上了些年紀的漁夫望著他，感到難受。不過他們並不流露出來，只是斯文地談起海流，談起他們把釣索送到海面下有多深，天氣一貫多麼好，談起他們的見聞。當天打魚得手的漁夫都已回來，把大馬林魚剖開，整片兒排在兩塊木板上，每塊木板的一端由兩個人抬著，搖搖晃晃地送到收魚站，在那裡等冷藏車來把它們運往哈瓦那的市場。逮到鯊魚的人們已把它們送到海灣另一邊的鯊魚加工廠去，吊在複合滑車上，除去肝臟，割掉魚鰭，剝去外皮，把魚肉切成一條條，以備醃製。
