THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA- by Ernest Hemingway
In a small fishing village in Cuba, Santiago, an old, weathered fisherman has just gone 84 days without catching a fish. On the 85th day, he is determined to catch a big, impressive fish. For years, Santiago has been fishing with a young boy named Manolin. Manolin started fishing with the old man when he was only 5 years old. Santiago is like Manolin`s second father, and has taught the young boy everything about fishing. Manolin is extremely loyal to Santiago and makes sure that the old man is always safe, fed and healthy. Manolin`s parents, however, force the boy to leave Santiago and fish on a more lucrative [(a) có lợi] fishing boat.
Manolin does not want to leave Santiago, but must honor his duty to his parents. On the new boat, Manolin catches several fish within the first few days. Santiago, meanwhile, decides to head out on the Gulf Stream alone. He feels the 85th day will be lucky for him. He sets out on his old, rickety [ ọp ẹp] skiff [ thuyền , tàu nhẹ, xuồng nhỏ]. Alone on the water, Santiago sets up his fishing lines with the utmost [cố gắng hết sức] precision [ sự chính xác], a skill that other fisherman lack.
Finally, he feels something heavy tugging [ sự kéo mạnh, sự giật mạnh] at one of his lines. A huge Marlin [ cá maclin] has found Santiago`s bait [ mồi ( lưỡi câu )]and this sets off a very long struggle between the two. The Marlin is so huge [ to lớn] that it drags [ kéo lê] Santiago beyond all other boats and people - he can no longer see land from where the fish drags him. The struggle [ cuộc chiến đấu]takes its toll [thiệt hại] on Santiago. His hands become badly cramped and he is cut and bruised [ thâm tím lại; thâm lại] from the force of the fish.
Santiago and the Marlin become united [ trở thành một] out at sea. They are attached to each other physically, and in Santiago`s case, emotionally. He respects and loves the Marlin and admires its beauty and greatness. He sees the fish as his brother. Despite this, Santiago has to kill it. He feels guilty killing a brother, but after an intense struggle in which the fish drags the skiff around in circles, Santiago harpoons [ đâm (bằng lao móc) ] the very large fish and hangs it on the side of his boat. He feels brave, like his hero Joe DiMaggio, who accomplished great feats [ chiến công] despite obstacles, injuries or adversities.
After enjoying a few moments of pride, a pack of sharks detects [ phát hiện ra] the blood in the water and follow the trail to Santiago`s skiff. Santiago has to fend [ chống đỡ được]off each shark that goes after his prized catch. Each shark takes a huge bite out of the Marlin, but the old man fends them off, himself now bruised, but alive. He sails back to shore with the carcass [ xác ] of his Marlin. He is barely able to walk and slowly staggers [ lảo đảo, loạng choạng] back to his hut, where he falls into bed.
The next morning, the boy finds his mentor [ người thầy thông thái, người cố vấn dày kinh nghiệm] and cries when he looks at Santiago`s bruised hands. He promises he will reject [ bác bỏ] his parents` wishes and vows [ thề, nguyện] to fish with Santiago again.
