原标题：《老人与海》双语好句：一个人可以被毁灭，但不能被打败

今天和大家一起看一下《老人与海》（The Old Man and the Sea ）中的经典语句：

He no longer dreamed of storms, nor of women, nor of great occurrences, nor of great fish, nor fights, nor contests of strength, nor of his wife. He only dreamed of places now and of the lions on the beach.

他不再梦见风暴，不再梦见妇女们，不再梦见发生过的大事，不再梦见大鱼，不再梦见打架，不再梦见角力，不再梦见他的妻子。他如今只梦见某些地方和海滩上的狮子。

‘But man is not made for defeat, ’he said. ‘A man can be destroyed but not defeated. ’I am sorry that I killed the fish though, he thought. Now the bad time is coming and I do not even have the harpoon. The dentuso is crueland able and strong and intelligent. But I was more intelligent than he was. Perhaps not, he thought. Perhaps I was only better armed.

“然而人不是为失败而生的，”他说。“一个人可以被毁灭，但不能给打败。”然而我很痛心，把这鱼给杀了，他想。现在倒霉的时刻要来了，可我连鱼叉也没有。这条登多索鲨是残忍、能干、强壮而聪明的。但是我比它更聪明。也许并不，他想。也许我仅仅是武器比它强。

‘Age is my alarm clock, ’the old man said. ‘Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day? ’

“年纪是我的闹钟，”老人说。“为什么老头儿醒得那么早？难道是要让白天长些吗？”

Why did they make birds so delicate and fine as those sea swallowswhen the ocean can be so cruel?

既然海洋这样残暴，为什么像这些海燕那样的鸟儿生来就如此柔弱和纤巧？

Man is not much besidethe great birds and beasts.

人跟伟大的鸟兽相比真算不上什么。

Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for.

也许我不该当渔夫，他想。然而这正是我生来该干的行当。

（吴劳译本）
