   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.

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. By the time he kills or drives off all the sharks,no meat is left on the Marlin. Santiago realizes that his fight with the Marlin was for 10;all will soon be lost. But,he thinks, “A man can be destroyed but not defeated."
