夜闻悦读·《老人与海》2 中英对照

Part 2
The old man was thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks.
老人消瘦、憔悴,颈后有很深的皱纹。而从热带海洋的海面上反射出来的强烈阳光,在老人 的双颊上,留下了一块块良性皮肤癌棕色的斑点。

The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep-creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords. But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert.
老人除了两颊布满斑点,双手则刻着深深的勒痕,那是操作粗鱼绳的结果。这些疤痕没有一 处是新的伤口,它们就如同一个了无生机的沙漠所经历过的侵蚀那样久远。
