老人与海的英语简介
Plot Summary
In a small fishing village in Cuba,Santiago,an old,weathered fisherman has
just gone 84 days without catching a fish.On the 85th day,he is determined to
catch a big,impressive fish.
For years,Santiago has been fishing with a young boy named Manolin.
Manolin started fishing with the old man when he was only 5 years old.
Santiago is like Manolin's second father,and has taught the young boy
everything about fishing.Manolin is extremely loyal to Santiago and makes
sure that the old man is always safe,fed and healthy.Manolin's parents,
however,force the boy to leave Santiago and fish on a more lucrative fishing
boat.
Manolin does not want to leave Santiago,but must honor his duty to his
parents.On the new boat,Manolin catches several fish within the first few days.
Santiago,meanwhile,decides to head out on the Gulf Stream alone.He feels
the 85th day will be lucky for him.He sets out on his old,rickety skiff.Alone on
the water,Santiago sets up his fishing lines with the utmost precision,a skill
that other fisherman lack.
Finally,he feels something heavy tugging at one of his lines.A huge Marlin
has found Santiago's bait and this sets off a very long struggle between the
two.The Marlin is so huge that it drags Santiago beyond all other boats and
people - he can no longer see land from where the fish drags him.The struggle
takes its toll on Santiago.His hands become badly cramped and he is cut and
bruised from the force of the fish.
Santiago and the Marlin become united out at sea.They are attached to each
other physically,and in Santiago's case,emotionally.He respects and loves
the Marlin and admires its beauty and greatness.He sees the fish as his
brother.Despite this,Santiago has to kill it.He feels guilty killing a brother,but
after an intense struggle in which the fish drags the skiff around in circles,
Santiago harpoons the very large fish and hangs it on the side of his boat.He
feels brave,like his hero Joe DiMaggio,who accomplished great feats despite
obstacles,injuries or adversities.
After enjoying a few moments of pride,a pack of sharks detects the blood in
the water and follow the trail to Santiago's skiff.Santiago has to fend off each
shark that goes after his prized catch.Each shark takes a huge bite out of the
Marlin,but the old man fends them off,himself now bruised,but alive.He sails
back to shore with the carcass of his Marlin.He is barely able to walk and
slowly staggers back to his hut,where he falls into bed.
The next morning,the boy finds his mentor and cries when he looks at
Santiago's bruised hands.He promises he will reject his parents' wishes and
vows to fish with Santiago again.
