“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 cruel and able and strong an d intelligent. But I was more intelligent than he was. Perhaps not, he thought. Perhaps I was only better armed.
“不過人不是為失敗而生的，”他說。“一個人可以被毀滅，但不能給打敗。“不過我很痛心，把這魚給殺了，他想。現在倒霉的時刻要來了，可我連魚叉也沒有。這條登多索鯊是殘忍、能干、強壯而聰明的。但是我比它更聰明。也許并不，他想。也許我僅僅是武器比它強。

The shark swung over and the old man saw his eye was not alive and then he swung over once again, wrapping himself in two loops of the rope. The old man knew that he was dead but the shark would not accept it. Then, on his back, with his tail lashing and his jaws clicking, the shark plowed over the water as a speedboat does. The water was white where his tail beat it and three-quarters of his body was clear above the water when the rope came taut, shivered, and then snapped. The shark lay quietly for a little while on the surface and the old man watched him. Then he went down very slowly.

鯊魚翻了個身，老人看出它眼睛里已經沒有生氣了，跟著它又翻了個身，自行纏上了兩道繩子。老人知道這鯊魚快死了，但它還是不肯認輸。它這時肚皮朝上，尾巴撲打著，兩顎嘎吱作響，象一條快艇般劃奇水面。它的尾巴把水拍打得泛出白色，四分之三的身體露出在水面上，這時繩子給繃緊了，抖了一下，啪地斷了。鯊魚在水面上靜靜地躺了片刻，老人緊盯著它。然后它慢慢地沉下去了。
