Set in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Havana, Hemingway's magnificent fable is the tale of an old man, a young boy and a giant fish. This story of heroic endeavour won Hemingway the Nobel Prize for Literature. It stands as a unique and timeless vision of the beauty and grief of man’s challenge to the elements. (20040927)

##"fight them," he said. "I'll fight them until I die."
##The old man was dreaming about the lions.看完弗蘭肯斯坦再看這個,忽然領略到瞭英文文筆的差距,這種短句子的力度真直擊人心。
##人可以被打敗不能被消滅大概是最深的印象瞭。不過這個原文版本不夠譯文那麼有直接和深入瞭解,估計是我自己英文水準有待提高的摺射罷瞭。
