夜闻悦读·《老人与海》悦解 10 中英对照

When the boy came back the old man was asleep in the chair and the sun was down. The boy took the old army blanket off the bed and spread it over the back of the chair and over the old man's shoulders.
男孩回来的时候,老人坐在椅子上睡着了,而太阳也已经下山。小孩把床上的旧军毯拿来铺 在椅背上,并用部分盖着老人的肩膀。

They were strange shoulders, still powerful although very old, and the neck was still strong too and the creases did not show so much when the old man was asleep and his head fallen forward. His shirt had been patched so many times that it was like the sail and the patches were faded to many different shades by the sun. The old man's head was very old though and with his eyes closed there was no life in his face. The newspaper lay across his knees and the weight of his arm held it there in the evening breeze. He was barefooted.
老人的肩膀虽然年老,但依旧健壮有力,他的脖子也还是那么坚挺,即使是睡着,头朝前垂 下,颈上的皱纹仍不太明显。他的衬衫就像他的帆一样,补过好多次补钉,而随着长久以来 阳光的照射,这些补钉早已褪成深浅不同的颜色。不过,老人的头部却显得相当衰老,只要 他把眼睛闭上,脸上便看不出任何生命的迹象了。报纸摊在他的膝盖上,二只手臂的重量使 它不被黄昏的微风吹走。老人的双脚赤裸着。

The boy left him there and when he came back the old man was still asleep. "Wake up old man," the boy said and put his hand on one of the old man's knees. The old man opened his eyes and for a moment he was coming back from a long way away. Then he smiled. "What have you got?" he asked. "Supper," said the boy. "We're going to have supper." "I'm not very hungry." "Come on and eat. You can't fish and not eat. "I have," the old man said getting up and taking the newspaper and folding it. Then he started to fold the blanket.
男孩留他一个人睡着。当他回来的时候,老人仍在熟睡中。「醒醒吧,老先生!」男孩把手 放在老人一边的膝盖上说。老人睁开了眼,过了好一会儿才醒过来,他笑了。「你弄到些什 么东西?」他问。「晚餐。」小孩说:「我们要吃晚饭了。」「我并不很饿。」「快来吃嘛!你不能够光打渔而不吃东西呀。」「我有吃。」老人说着站起来,把报纸迭起来收好。然后 开始折毯子。
"Keep the blanket around you," the boy said. "You'll not fish without eating while I'm alive." "Then live a long time and take care of yourself," the old man said, "What are we eating?" "Black beans and rice, fried bananas, and some stew." The boy had brought them in a two-decker metal container from the Terrace. The two sets of knives and forks and spoons were in his pocket with a paper napkin wrapped around each set. "Who gave this to you?" "Martin. The owner." "I must thank him."
「用毯子围着你的身体嘛!」男孩说:「只要我还活着一天,我绝对不让你光打渔,而不吃 东西。」「那么你就该好好照顾自己,活长一点,」老人问:「我们现在吃什么呢?」「黑 豆、米饭、煎香蕉,还有一些炖肉。」男孩把这些东西装在双层金属容器中,从露天酒店带 了回来。在他的口里,还有两组包在餐巾纸里的刀叉和汤匙。「这是谁给你的?」「马丁,那家餐馆的老板。」「我得谢谢他。」
