他眼下已看不见海岸的那一道绿色了,只看得见那些青山的仿佛积着白雪的山峰,以及山峰上空象是高耸的雪山般的云块。海水颜色深极了,阳光在海水中幻成彩虹七色。那数不清的斑斑点点的浮游生物,由于此刻太阳升到了头顶上空,都看不见了,眼下老人看得见的仅仅是蓝色海水深处幻成的巨大的七色光带,还有他那几根笔直垂在有一英里深的水中的钓索。

老渔夫在海上一无所获地漂流了84天后钓到了一条巨大无比的马林鱼(marlin),这是一条比他的渔船还长2英尺的鱼,是在拖着渔船整整两天两夜之后才被刺死的。
老人的命运似乎并不成功,他又遭遇了鲨鱼,经过殊死的搏斗,马林鱼只剩下一副骨架。
文中多次描写到狮子,阿非利加海滩上,狮子在笑闹嬉戏,它们浮现在老人的梦中,一直在老人的心中,同样揭示了老人永远不会老的意志。
I can remember the tail slapping and banging and the thwart breaking and the noise of the clubbing. 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 sweet blood smell all over me.
2)"It was noon when I hooked him," he said. "And I have never seen him."
3) He remembered the time he had hooked one of a pair of marlin. The male fish always let the female fish feed first and the hooked fish, the female, made a wild, panic-stricken, despairing fight that soon exhausted her, and all the time the male had stayed with her, crossing the line and circling with her on the surface. He had stayed so close that the old man was afraid he would cut the line with his tail which was sharp as a scythe and almost of that size and shape. When the old man had gaffed her and clubbed her, holding the rapier bill with its
sandpaper edge and dubbing her across the top of her head until her colour turned to a colour almost like the backing of mirrors, and then, with the boy's aid, hoisted her aboard, the male fish had stayed by the side of the boat. Then, while the old man was clearing the lines and preparing the harpoon,
the male fish jumped high into the air beside the boat to see where the female was and then went down deep, his lavender wings, that were his pectoral fins, spread wide and all his wide lavender stripes showing. He was beautiful, the old man remembered, and he had stayed.
4) I wish he'd sleep and I could sleep and dream about the lions
5) Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.
6) But man is not made for defeat, a man can be destroyed but not defeated.
7) The clouds over the land now rose like mountains and the
coast was only a long green line with the gray blue hills behind it. The water was a dark blue now, so dark that it was almost purple.
8) Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.
9) But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert. Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.
10) They were strange shoulders, still powerful although very old, and the neck was still strong too and the creases did not show so much when the old man was asleep and his head fallen forward.
