" A boat crossed the end of the world, into the unknown sea, hanging on the side of the bow while furrowed by rain and wind erosion is still very beautiful flag, flags, waving Yunlong general four words glittering -- beyond the limit!" This is the author of Hemingway's evaluation of his work" the old man and the sea".
" The old man and the sea" has created a classic tough guy image. A Cuban named Sandinista Diego old fisherman, a man fishing alone in the48days after, have gained nothing caught a huge marlin. This is the elderly have never seen or heard of his boat was two feet longer than a big fish. Jin also big fish, dragging the boat drifted for a whole two days and two nights, the elderly in two days and two nights have never experienced a difficult test, and finally the big fish to death, tied to the bow. But then they encounter a shark, the elderly and the sharks were life-and-death struggle, the big marlin or eaten by sharks, the elderly finally dragged home only a bare skeleton.
Why did Hemingway make the old man win in the end? With novel old man 's words:" a man can be destroyed but not defeated."," a man can be destroyed, but not defeated." This is" the old man and the sea" to reveal the philosophy. Undeniable, as long as people are flawed. When a person recognizes the shortcoming and tried to overcome it rather than to obtain it, no matter he caught a full marlin or an empty skeleton, which all have no, because a person's life has value in the pursuit of the Marlins in the process of fully embodies the. Once their own ideals and efforts to pursue, struggle, is he not a winner? The old fisherman is wrong and the courage to challenge their own courage and confidence. Secular outlook from the perspective of victory, the old man was not a final winner, because although he beat the Marlins, but eventually the big marlin let shark eating, he just took the big marlin bones house back to shore, that is to say, the shark is the victor. However, in the eyes of idealists, the fisherman is Victor, because he has never been to sea to the big marlin sharks more compromise and not to surrender. As music master Beethoven said," I can be destroyed, but can never be conquered".
Human nature is a powerful, humanity itself has its own limits, but it is because of the senior fisherman such people again and again to challenge the limits, beyond them, the limits were repeatedly expanded, and put a greater challenge in front of human beings. In this sense, the old fisherman Santiago such hero, no matter they challenge the limit is a success or a failure, is always worthy of our respect. Because, he gave us the most noble of human self-confidence! “一艘船越过世界的尽头，驶向未知的大海，船头上悬挂着一面虽然饱经风雨剥蚀却依旧艳丽无比的旗帜，旗帜上，舞动着云龙一般的四个字闪闪发光——超越极限！”作者海明威是这样评价他的作品《老人与海》的。
《老人与海》塑造了一个经典的硬汉形象。古巴的一个名叫桑地亚哥的老渔夫，独自一个人出海打鱼，在一无所获的48天之后钓到了一条无比巨大的马林鱼。这是老人从来没见过也没听说过的比他的船还长两英尺的一条大鱼。鱼大劲也大，拖着小船漂流了整整两天两夜，老人在这两天两夜中经历了从未经受的艰难考验，终于把大鱼刺死，拴在船头。然而这时却遇上了鲨鱼，老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗，结果大马林鱼还是被鲨鱼吃光了，老人最后拖回家的只剩下一副光秃秃的鱼骨架。
海明威为什么没有让老人最终胜利呢? 用小说中老人的话来说：“一个人并不是生来就要被打败的”，“人尽可以被毁灭，但却不能被打败。”这就是《老人与海》想揭示的哲理。不可否认，只要是人就都会有缺陷。当一个人承认了这个缺陷并努力去战胜它而不是去屈从它的时候，无论最后是捕到一条完整的马林鱼还是一副空骨架，这都已经无所谓了，因为一个人的生命价值已在那追捕马林鱼的过程中充分地体现了。曾经为自己的理想努力追求过、奋斗过，难道他不是一个胜利者吗？老渔夫就是敢于挑战自身缺陷及自己勇气和信心的胜利者。从世俗胜利观的角度看，老渔夫不是最后的胜利者，因为尽管开始他战胜了大马林鱼，但是最终大马林鱼还是让鲨鱼吃了，他只是带着大马林鱼的白骨架子回到了岸上，也就是说，鲨鱼才是胜利者。可是，在理想主义者眼里，老渔夫就是胜利者，因为他始终没有向大海没有向大马林鱼更没有向鲨鱼妥协和投降。就如音乐大师贝多芬所说“我可以被摧毁，但我不能被征服”。
人性是强悍的，人类本身有自己的限度，但正是因为有了老渔夫这样的人一次又一次地向限度挑战，超越它们，这个限度才一次次扩大，一次次把更大的挑战摆在了人类面前。在这个意义上，老渔夫桑地亚哥这样的英雄，不管他们挑战限度是成功还是失败，都是值得我们永远敬重的。 因为，他带给我们的是人类最为高贵的自信！
人生本来就是一种无止境的追求。它的道路漫长、艰难，而且充满坎坷，但只要自己勇敢顽强地以一颗自信的心去迎接挑战，他将永远是一个真正的胜利者！

"A boat across the end of the world was heading towards an unknown sea, hanging on the side of the bow while it is still gorgeous pool of wind and rain erosion immense banner, flag, dance with sparkling Yunlong general words - beyond the limit !, "by Ernest Hemingway is said of his work," Hits "in.
"Hits" mold of a classic tough guy image. Cuba, an old fisherman Santiago Ming Jiaosang alone a man fishing at sea, in nothing caught 48 days after the Marlins had an immeasurable. This is the old saw has never heard of the ship is longer than his two feet of a big fish. Great fresh fish are also great, dragging the boat drifted for a whole two days and nights, the elderly in these two days and nights have never experienced a difficult withstood the test of big fish finally stabbed to death, tied to the bow. But this time they have met a shark, the elderly and the shark had a desperate struggle, the results of big marlin, or eaten by a shark, and the elderly finally dragged home the fish only a bare skeleton.
Hemingway's why there is no final victory for the old people do? With the words of the elderly in the novel: "A person is not born must be defeated," and "people do can be destroyed, but can not be defeated." This is the "Hits of "If you want revealed philosophy. Undeniably, as long as the person who will be flawed. When a person admits that this flaw and try to defeat it rather than succumb to it time, no matter finally caught a full or an empty skeleton Marlins, which have been does not matter, because the value of human life has been a In that pursuit of Marlins in the process fully reflected. Once for the pursuit of their ideals too, fought, do not he is not a winner? Old fisherman is the courage to challenge their own defects and their own courage and confidence to the winner. From the secular point of view the victory of view, old fisherman is not the final winner, because even though he began to beat the big marlin, but eventually let sharks eat big Marlins, and he was only the bones of the dead with a big rack Marlins back to the shore, that is, a shark is the winner. However, idealists, eyes, old fisherman is a winner, because he never failed to big marlin to the sea to the sharks, and no compromise and surrender. As musician Beethoven said, "I can be destroyed, but I can not be conquered."
Human nature is powerful, and humanity itself has its own limits, but it is precisely because such a person is old fisherman again and again to challenge the limits, beyond them, this limit was extended again and again, again and again to even greater challenges lie in the the human face. In this sense, the old fisherman San Diego such a hero, whether they challenge the limits of success or failure, are worthy of our always respected. Because he gives us is the most noble of human self-confidence!
Life itself is a kind of endless pursuit. It is the road long, difficult and full of ups and downs but as long as its own tenaciously to a brave heart to meet the challenges of self-confidence, he will always be a real winner!
