   Santiago,an old fisherman,has just gone 84 days without catching a fish. Everything about him is old,except his eyes,which are the same 1 as the sea and are “cheerful and undefeated (不可战胜的) ”.

   On the 2 day,Santiago goes to sea and fishes alone. Around noon,a Marlin (马林鱼) has got hold of the hook (鱼钩) . From the strength of the pull,Santiago thinks the Marlin must be a very 3 one. The Marlin drags (拖) the boat far into the sea. No land at all is visible to Santiago now. Santiago tells the Marlin he will never give in (妥协) ,and will fight 4 one of them dies. Santiago holds the line with both hands to keep the fish from 5 the line.

   …

   It is dark. Santiago thinks about 6 he wants to catch and kill the Marlin: to show “what a man can do”. He thinks of the Marlin 7 his friend,but he must kill it. As the sun rises,the Marlin begins to circle. For hours the old man fights the circling fish. As the Marlin comes in closer,Santiago plunges his harpoon (鱼叉) into it. The Marlin dies.

   Soon,a shark (璧鱼) smells the blood in the water and takes a big bite of 8 . Around midnight,more sharks attack the boat. Santiago 9 fight them off.
