The Old Man and the Sea How many times can a person fail and still refuse to give up?
《老人與海》一個人究竟能經歷多少次失敗,卻依然不肯放棄?
2
There was once an old fisherman who had gone 84 days without catching a single fish.
從前有一位老漁夫,已經整整八十四天沒捕到一條魚了。
3
Everyone believed he would never succeed again.
所有人都認為他再也不會成功了。
4
But on the 85th day,
5
he sailed alone into the deep sea and began a journey that would change his life forever.
6
Today's story is Ernest Hemingway's famous novel, The Old Man and the Sea.
7
It is not just a story about the sea and a fisherman.
8
It is a story about courage, dignity, and the power of never giving up.
9
Once there was an old fisherman named Santiago.
10
He lived in a small fishing village near the sea in Cuba.
11
He was thin and old.
12
Deep wrinkles covered his face, and his hands showed the marks of many years spent pulling fishing lines from the ocean.
13
Santiago had spent his whole life fishing.
14
The sea was his friend, his workplace, and his world.
15
For many years, a young boy named Manolin had gone fishing with him.
16
The boy loved Santiago and respected him greatly.
17
Santiago had taught him everything he knew about fishing.
18
But lately, things had changed.
19
For 84 days, Santiago had not caught a single fish.
20
The villagers began to think he was unlucky.
21
Some fishermen felt sorry for him.
22
Others quietly laughed at him.
23
The boy's parents believed Santiago's bad luck would continue.
24
They told Manolin to fish with another boat.
25
Although the boy obeyed his parents, he still cared deeply about the old man.
26
Every evening, he visited Santiago's small shack.
27
They talked about baseball, fishing, and life.
28
The boy brought him food whenever he could.
29
One evening, after the 84th day without a fish, the boy asked, Can I go fishing with you again?
30
Santiago smiled kindly.
31
Your parents have made their decision, he said.
32
The boy lowered his head.
33
I know, but I still believe in you.
34
The old man's eyes brightened.
35
Thank you, my boy.
36
That night, Santiago slept in his small hut.
37
The walls were simple.
38
The furniture was old.
39
Yet his dreams were filled with memories of his youth.
40
He dreamed of Africa, where he had sailed as a young sailor.
41
He dreamed of golden beaches and lions walking proudly along the shore.
42
The next morning, long before sunrise, Santiago awoke.
43
The village was still asleep.
44
He quietly carried his fishing equipment to his small boat.
45
The boy helped him prepare.
46
I wish you luck, old man, said Manolin.
47
Luck comes and goes, Santiago replied.
48
I will do my best.
49
With that, he pushed his boat into the dark water and began rowing toward the open sea.
50
Most fishermen stayed closer to shore, but Santiago rowed farther and farther.
51
He believed that the big fish lived in deeper waters.
52
As the sun slowly rose, the ocean became bright and blue.
53
The sea stretched endlessly in every direction.
54
Birds flew overhead.
55
Flying fish jumped across the surface.
56
Santiago felt peaceful.
57
He loved the sea.
58
He often thought of the sea as a woman, beautiful, generous, and sometimes unpredictable.
59
As he rode, he carefully placed several fishing lines into the water at different depths.
60
Then he waited.
61
Hours passed.
62
The sun climbed higher.
63
Still no fish.
64
But Santiago remained patient.
65
End.
66
He had learned long ago that fishing required faith.
67
Around noon, something happened.
68
One of the lines suddenly moved.
69
The old man immediately felt it.
70
Something enormous was pulling beneath the water.
71
His heart began to beat faster.
72
This is a big one, he whispered.
73
He held the line carefully.
74
The fish did not jump.
75
It did not struggle wildly.
76
Instead, it simply swam away with great strength.
77
The line continued moving, deeper into the ocean.
78
Santiago knew this was no ordinary fish.
79
This was a giant marlin.
80
The marlin kept swimming, hour after hour.
81
It pulled the small boat farther and farther from land.
82
Santiago could not stop it.
83
The fish was simply too strong.
84
The old man wrapped the line across his shoulders and back.
85
The pressure hurt his body.
86
His hands began to ache, yet he refused to let go.
87
If I lose this fish, he thought, I may
88
They never get another chance like this.
89
The sun set.
90
Darkness covered the sea.
91
Still, the marlin swam steadily forward.
92
The boat followed.
93
Santiago was alone with the fish and the stars.
94
The ocean seemed endless.
95
He spoke aloud to himself.
96
Talking helped him feel less lonely.
97
Sometimes he spoke to the fish.
98
Sometimes he spoke to the birds.
99
Sometimes he imagined the boy sitting beside him.
100
I wish the boy were here, he said many times.
101
The night grew colder.
102
His muscles became stiff.
103
But the line remained tight.
104
The marlin Marlin continued pulling.
105
By morning, Santiago had been connected to the fish for nearly twenty -four hours.
106
His hands were bleeding.
107
His back hurt terribly.
108
His body felt exhausted.
109
Still, the fish showed no sign of stopping.
110
The old man admired the Marlin.
111
It was powerful, intelligent, and brave.
112
I love you, fish, he said softly, but I must kill you.
113
As the second day passed, Santiago became increasingly tired.
114
He caught a small fish and ate it raw to keep his strength.
115
The food tasted simple, but it gave him energy.
116
The marlin continued swimming.
117
Neither the man nor the fish gave up.
118
They were locked in a silent battle.
119
At times, Santiago thought about baseball.
120
He thought about his favorite player, Joe DiMaggio.
121
DiMaggio often played despite pain and injury.
122
Remembering this inspired him.
123
If DiMaggio can endure pain, Santiago thought, then so can I.
124
The second night arrived.
125
The stars shone brightly overhead.
126
The ocean remained calm.
127
Santiago's body felt close to its limit.
128
His left hand suddenly cramped and became difficult to use.
129
He stared at it angrily.
130
What kind of hand are you? he muttered.
131
Slowly the cramp eased.
132
He continued holding the line.
133
He could not afford any mistakes.
134
The marlin was still pulling.
135
The battle had now lasted more than two days.
136
On the third day, something changed.
137
The fish began swimming in large circles.
138
Santiago knew what this meant.
139
The marlin was becoming tired.
140
At last it was coming closer to the surface.
141
Each circle brought the fish nearer.
142
Each circle also demanded every bit of strength the old man had left.
143
He pulled steadily.
144
little by little, minute by minute.
145
Finally he saw it.
146
The marlin emerged from the deep blue water.
147
Santiago stared in amazement.
148
The fish was larger than he had imagined.
149
Its long body glittered in the sunlight.
150
Its enormous tail cut through the water like a giant blade.
151
The marlin was longer than the boat itself.
152
Beautiful, Santiago whispered.
153
For a moment, he simply admired it.
154
Then he remembered why he was there.
155
When the fish came close enough, Santiago gathered his remaining strength.
156
He lifted his harpoon.
157
The marlin circled once more.
158
The old man waited.
159
Then he struck.
160
The harpoon pierced deep into the fish.
161
The marlin leaped high above the water.
162
For a brief moment, it seemed suspended in the air.
163
Then it crashed into the sea.
164
The ocean exploded with foam and spray.
165
Moments later, the giant fish lay still.
166
The battle was over.
167
Santiago felt exhausted beyond words.
168
But he also felt proud.
169
He had achieved something extraordinary.
170
He tied the enormous marlin alongside his boat.
171
The fish was far too large to fit inside.
172
Then he turned toward home.
173
The journey back would take many hours.
174
The old man looked at his catch and smiled.
175
The villagers would be amazed.
176
The boy would be happy.
177
After 84 days of failure, he had finally succeeded.
178
The wind filled his small sail.
179
The boat moved steadily toward shore.
180
But the story was not over, not even close.
181
Several hours later, Santiago noticed a dark shape beneath the water.
182
A shark.
183
The shark had smelled blood from the marlin.
184
It was approaching quickly.
185
Santiago understood the danger immediately.
186
The shark attacked.
187
Its powerful jaws tore into the marlin's flesh.
188
The old man grabbed his harpoon and fought back.
189
He struck the shark hard.
190
The shark died.
191
But as it sank into the sea, it carried away a large piece of the marlin.
192
Santiago looked sadly at the damaged fish.
193
Still, he continued home.
194
Soon, more sharks arrived.
195
The blood trail stretched for miles through the ocean.
196
It attracted hungry predators from far away.
197
Again and again, the sharks attacked.
198
Again and And again Santiago fought them.
199
He used his knife.
200
He used an oar.
201
He used a club.
202
He used every weapon he could find.
203
Each battle left him weaker.
204
Each attack took more of the marlin.
205
The old man knew he was losing, yet he refused to stop fighting.
206
As evening approached, even more sharks came.
207
They surrounded the boat.
208
They tore away large pieces of flesh.
209
Santiago struck them with all the strength he had left.
210
His hands bled.
211
His shoulders burned.
212
His body screamed with exhaustion.
213
Still he fought.
214
By nightfall, very little meat remained.
215
The marlin had become almost a skeleton.
216
Santiago stared at the remains.
217
A deep sadness filled him.
218
He had defeated the great fish, yet now the sea was taking it away.
219
The old man wondered if he had gone too far from shore.
220
Perhaps he had been too ambitious.
221
Perhaps he had challenged fate itself.
222
But there was no time for regret.
223
He still had to reach home.
224
The night was dark.
225
The stars watched silently overhead.
226
The old boat moved through the black water.
227
At last, near midnight, Santiago saw the lights of the village.
228
Relief washed over him.
229
He had made it back.
230
When he reached shore, Everyone was asleep.
231
The harbor was quiet.
232
The old man tied his boat to the dock.
233
Then he looked at what remained of the marlin.
234
Only the giant skeleton was left.
235
The magnificent fish was gone.
236
Santiago felt completely exhausted.
237
He removed the mast from his boat and carried it on his shoulders.
238
The weight felt enormous.
239
Several times he had to stop and rest.
240
Finally he reached his hut.
241
He lay down on his bed.
242
Within moments he fell into a deep sleep.
243
The next morning the villagers discovered the marlin skeleton.
244
They were astonished.
245
The fish was enormous.
246
Many fishermen measured it.
247
They could hardly believe its size.
248
People gathered around the boat to look.
249
Meanwhile, Manolin hurried to the old man's hut.
250
When he saw Santiago sleeping, tears filled his eyes.
251
The old man's hands were badly injured.
252
His face showed signs of suffering.
253
The boy quietly sat beside him.
254
When Santiago finally woke, Manolin smiled.
255
They do not know what you went through, the boy said.
256
The old man looked at him.
257
They beat me, Manolin.
258
The boy shook his head.
259
No, the fish did not beat you.
260
Santiago smiled faintly.
261
No, the fish did not.
262
The boy promised he would fish with Santiago again.
263
He no longer cared what others thought.
264
The old man had proven his courage.
265
The villagers now respected him more than ever.
266
They understood that Santiago was not simply a fisherman.
267
He was a man who refused to surrender.
268
Later the boy brought him food and coffee.
269
They talked quietly about future fishing trips.
270
For the first time in many days, hope returned.
271
Santiago rested peacefully.
272
As he drifted back to sleep, his mind returned to the dreams of his youth.
273
Once again, he saw the lions walking along the beaches of Africa.
274
They moved confidently beneath the golden sun, strong, free, fearless.
275
And as the old man slept, the lions continued to walk across the shore in his dreams,
276
just as they had many years before.
277
The sea had taken away the fish.
278
Time had taken away his youth.
279
But neither the sea nor time had taken away his spirit.
280
And that was the greatest victory of all.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
