老人与海Chapter1(5)

"Santiago,"the boy said.
"圣地亚哥,"孩子说.
"Yes," the old man said.He was holding his glass and thinking of many years ago.
"哦,"老人说.他正握着酒杯,思量好多年前的事儿.　
"Can I go out to get sardines for you for tomorrow?"
"要我去弄点沙丁鱼来给你明天用吗?"
"No.Go and play baseball.I can still row and Rogelio will throw the net."
"不.打棒球去吧.我划船还行,罗赫略会给我撒网的."
"I would like to go.If I cannot fish with you,I would like to serve in some way."
"我很想去.即使不能陪你钓鱼,我也很想给你多少做点事."
"You bought me a beer,"the old man said."You are already a man."
"你请我喝了杯啤酒,"老人说."你已经是个大人啦."
"How old was I when you first took me in a boat?"
"你头一回带我上船,我有多大?"
"Five and you nearly were killed when I brought the fish in too green and he nearly tore the boat to pieces.Can you remember?"
"五岁,那天我把一条鲜龙活跳的鱼拖上船去,它差一点把船撞得粉碎,你也差一点给送了命.还记得吗?"
"I can remember the tail slapping and banging and the thwart breaking and the noise of the clubbing."
"我记得鱼尾巴砰砰地拍打着,船上的座板给打断了,还有棍子打鱼的声音.
I can remember you throwing me into the bow where the wet coiled lines were and feeling the whole boat shiver and the noise of you clubbing him like chopping a tree down and the sweat blood smell all over me."


我记得你把我朝船头猛推,那儿搁着湿漉漉的钓索卷儿,我感到整条船在颤抖,听到你啪啪地用棍子打鱼的声音,象有砍一棵树,还记得我浑身上下都是血腥味儿."
"Can you really remember that or did I just tell it to you?"
"你当真记得那回事儿,还是我不久前刚跟你说过?"
"I remember everything from when we first went together."
"打从我们头一回一起出海时起,什么事儿我都记得清清楚楚."
The old man looked at him with his sun-burned,,confident loving eyes.

老人用他那双常遭日晒而目光坚定的眼睛爱怜地望着他.
