" 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！

英文翻译
在这一年的暑假，我在小说《老人与海》中的海明威，美国著名作家，。我佩服老渔夫的小说中，他让我明白一个人一定要有坚持不懈的精神，才能成功。这部小说描述的是一个老渔夫年近六十的老人，独自出海捕鱼的时候，钓到了一条大鱼，但不能画。老渔夫和鱼周旋了几天后，才发现这是一个大玛琳的几次鱼超过自己渔船，虽然明知很难取胜，但仍不放弃。因为大玛琳鱼伤口上的鱼腥味引来了几群鲨鱼抢食稍后再试，但老人仍不愿就这样放弃，最终突出重围，将大鱼带回了渔港，让其他渔夫佩服不已。老渔夫想，当我读到：“这真是太接近，从这里到海岸，也许有更大的鱼在更远的地方......”时，十分佩服这位老渔夫，因为玩不钓鱼，他已经在这个时刻我，但他不满意的现状，而是向着更大的目标前进。再次见到我们，平时遇到一点小困难，我们都叫苦连天。我们是祖国的未来，应该像这位老人一样胸怀大志，去追求更好，更高的目标。当我读到“大玛琳鱼是围着小渔船游动，它是把桅杆缠绕电缆快速开始，老人右手高举着钢叉，跳出一个闪光，竭尽全力地向水，一声哀鸣结束了生命的声音鱼，它静静地浮在水面......”时，我的心太像块石头不大。我欣赏那种担心老人，坚持不懈的精神，虽然知道对手实力很强，但他没有丝毫退缩，遇见困难。正因为有了这种精神，老渔夫得到了较量的胜利这生命和死亡。我们要学习老渔夫的精神生活，做事情不怕困难，才能取得成功。读大血臭气的鱼香味，一只鲨鱼，争相去争夺食物，老人的左手抽筋，他只能使用右手，可以用来攻击的武器自卫棒，剑鱼的嘴，赶上一切，并赶走了这群鲨鱼最后。但是鱼大肉已经被吃了一大半，但老人批评自己的左手”时，该工作的时候休息”的幽默，我是被老人的乐观精神。在生活中，一些损失是不可避免的，我们应该以乐观的态度来对待，不能斤斤计较。最后，小说以一个少年看到老渔夫有18英尺长的大玛琳鱼在公差，那些描述这条鱼是巨大的，说明老渔夫所克服的困难之大，比普通。老渔夫的精神，做伟大的努力奋斗，不畏艰险，小说歌颂了，我们也应该像他那样，不能满足于现状，应该积极向上，做任何事都要坚持不懈，决不能半途而废，遇到困难要迎困难的。只有这样，我们才能获得更大的成功和胜利。

"Hits" tells the old fisherman Santiago 84 days in a row did not catch the fish case, out to sea for three days and three nights, and finally catch a big marlin, but on his way back to Hong Kong on several occasions been attacked by a shark to catch the fish only head and tail and back. This is a paean to heroism. San Diego 84 days before the hero for the elderly did not catch a fish, that "the blood poured mold," but he never waver in the pursuit of purpose, and what can not destroy his will. Therefore, he caught three days later in a big fish. While alone with the sharks is a very difficult struggle, the old fisherman first tie with the harpoon shark
When the harpoon shark towed away, he was again tied to pulp on a rolling knife, knives have been broken and in the end only with truncheons, and rudder to fight with the sharks. Exhausted all possible means to fight back, and finally defeated the ferocious sharks. Me feel like defeat powerful enemies, they must have perseverance, and the same as the old man, good use of the tools around and use wisdom. Even if fails, do not be discouraged, it will insist on victory. In addition, the old fisherman suffered repeated later in the pump to the big fish shark attacks, but also made me understand that when a person is successful, often face greater challenges. When the old man tied to the side of the boat, when the fish seemingly won, in fact, will attract a more powerful
The enemy - a shark attack. Similarly, in life, when we succeed, we must not complacency, it should be modest and prudent, the courage to overcome the greater difficulties and scale new heights. This story tells people a profound truth - people are not born for defeat, a person can be destroyed, but can not be defeated
