The Old Man and the Sea

Ernest Hemingway ranks as the most famous of twentieth-century American writers; like Mark Twain, Hemingway is one of those rare authors most people know about, whether they have read him or not. The difference is that Twain, with his white suit, ubiquitous cigar, and easy wit, survives in the public imagination as a basically, lovable figure, while the deeply imprinted image of Hemingway as rugged and macho has been much less universally admired, for all his fame. Hemingway has been regarded less as a writer dedicated to his craft than as a man of action who happened to be afflicted with genius. When he won the Nobel Prize in 1954, Time magazine reported the news under Heroes rather than Books and went on to describe the author as "a globe-trotting expert on bullfights, booze, women, wars, big game hunting, deep sea fishing, and courage." Hemingway did in fact address all those subjects in his books, and he acquired his expertise through well-reported acts of participation as well as of observation; by going to all the wars of his time, hunting and fishing for great beasts, marrying four times, occasionally getting into fistfights, drinking too much, and becoming, in the end, a worldwide celebrity recognizable for his signature beard and challenging physical pursuits.

Set in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Havana, Hemingway's magnificent fable is the story of an old man, a young boy and a giant fish. It was The Old Man and the Sea that won for Hemingway the Nobel Prize for Literature. Here, in a perfectly crafted story, is unique and timeless vision of the beauty and grief of man's challenge to the elements in which he lives.

Here, for a change, is a fish tale that actually does honour to the author. In fact The Old Man and the Sea revived Ernest Hemingway's career, which was foundering under the weight of such post-war stinkers as Across the River and into the Trees. It also led directly to his receipt of the Nobel Prize in 1954 (an award Hemingway gladly accepted, despite his earlier observation that "no son of a bitch that ever won the Nobel Prize ever wrote anything worth reading afterwards"). A half century later, it's still easy to see why. This tale of an aged Cuban fisherman going head-to-head (or hand-to-fin) with a magnificent marlin encapsulates Hemingway's favourite motifs of physical and moral challenge. Yet Santiago is too old and infirm to partake of the gun-toting machismo that disfigured much of the author's later work

"The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks. The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep-creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords."

Hemingway's style, too, reverts to those superb snapshots of perception that won him his initial fame

Just before it was dark, as they passed a great island of Sargasso weed that heaved and swung in the light sea as though the ocean were making love with something under a yellow blanket, his small line was taken by a dolphin. He saw it first when it jumped in the air, true gold in the last of the sun and bending and flapping wildly in the air.

If a younger Hemingway had written this novella, Santiago most likely would have towed the enormous fish back to port and posed for a triumphal photograph--just as the author delighted in doing, circa 1935. Instead his prize gets devoured by a school of sharks. Returning with little more than a skeleton, he takes to his bed and, in the very last line, cements his identification with his creator

"The old man was dreaming about the lions."

Perhaps there's some allegory of art and experience floating around in there somewhere--but The Old Man and the Sea was, in any case, the last great catch of Hemingway's career.

--James Marcus

读后感

评分

虽然还未读过此译者的这部作品,但至少作为一个普通读者来看,《灿烂千阳》和《追风筝的人》翻译的并不差,至少符合了国外书评所评价的不少特征,算得上是用并不华丽的语言平和地讲述了一个充满遗憾和悲伤的故事,在整本书中也没有觉得有因翻译导致的拗口蹩脚之感。 ...

在海明威深刻细腻的文字描写背后,常感受到一颗空虚寂寞,渴望被认同并自我实现的心灵。在自己经验的意识里,跳动却始终无法从自我解脱的絮念的思想。 在《老人与海》一书中,老人竭尽全力要证实自己的力量,并不肯屈服于自己的命运,最后,他钓到了一条大鱼,虽然鱼肉被鲨鱼吃...

我不相信人会有所谓的“命运”,但是我相信对于任何人来说,“限度”总是存在的。再聪明再强悍的人,能够做到的事情也总是有限度的。老人桑地亚哥不是无能之辈,然而,尽管他是最好的渔夫,也不能让那些鱼来上他的钩。他遇到他的限度了,就象最好的农民遇上了大旱,最好的猎手...

曾慥的《高斋诗话》里有这么一个段子:少游自会稽入见东坡。东坡问作何词。少游举 “小楼连苑横空,下窥绣彀雕鞍骤。”东坡曰:“十三个字只说得一个人骑马楼前过。”读到这个故事的时候,恰好我手边正好放着一些海明威的作品。当时有过这样的想法,如果海明威来做苏轼的学生,...

海明威在《太阳照常升起》的序言中说:这世界大多数人都在迷茫。我们安慰自己,只因为那里,或许有个上帝,端坐天堂。 因为这句话,我迷恋上了这个男人。他有怎样的境遇,怎样的故事,让他对于人生有了这样的感慨。 带着无限的好奇,我在网上搜索他的生平,却惊讶的...

终于看到眼泪掉下来。开始一直云淡风轻风平浪静的为了看书而看这本书,到快要结束的时候猝不及防的触动了我。认同圣地亚哥并且在实践。

有点小无聊,后面都是老人自己的内心独白,比较喜欢跟小男孩的友情。

这是第2次读英文原版的《老人与海》(第1次其实完全是囫囵吞枣式)。很易读,95%的阅读流畅率。但还是觉得自己语言能力不足,这次仍未体会到语言与行文上的海明威式美感。我想语言大概有两大“用处”吧,一个用来表达逻辑、描述事物、传达思维,一个用来构筑美感、映射情绪。从某个角度来说,前者是可复制的,通过一种训练是可以达到的;后者则不同,可能需要一种根深蒂固的内核,就不说创作了,即便像我这种读者,虽然受过长期的训练,但还是不能在阅读中体会到这种美感上的共鸣,我估计问题的根源在于英语不是我的母语。说了半天,好像这一次的阅读侧重点放在语言行文上的体会了,略微有些舍本逐末。不过这是一部常读常新的书,所以每次重读的话,着眼于一个侧重点也未尝不可,这次是语言,以后可以是其它。但下次还是老老实实地去看中译本吧。
