1, those elderly fishermen came back to see him and felt sorry for him when they learned that he hadn't caught a fish for many days. However, they didn't show it, but slowly gathered around the old man and talked politely about the current, how deep they lowered their fishing line, the continuous good weather and what they saw and heard at sea.
2. Every day, the boy feels uncomfortable watching the old man come back empty-handed. He always goes ashore to help the old man move the fishing line, carry the harpoon, or help him put on the sail tightly wrapped around the mast. The worn sail was mended again and again with flour bags, and rolled up like a defeated flag.
But these scars are not new. They are as old as eroded places in the desert, where there are no fish to play. Everything about him looks so old, only his eyes, as blue as the sea, reveal a cheerful and unyielding spirit.
They went to a small restaurant and sat down. Some young fishermen kept making fun of the old man and laughing at him, but the old man was not angry.
5. "But people are not born to fail," he said. "A man can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated."
6. The old man thought, "You loved it when it was alive, but you still loved it when it was dead. If you love it, killing it is not a crime. Perhaps this is a greater sin? "
7. "Age is my alarm clock," the old man said.
8. "Cheer up, old man," he said. "Every minute, you are closer to home. When you lose forty pounds of fish, you will sail more briskly. "
9, 1. Every day is another day. Good luck, of course. But I want to do it exactly. In this way, when luck comes, you will be prepared.
10, his shirt has been patched many times to make it look like his sail. These spots are dyed in many different colors by the sun.
1 1, now is not the time to think about what is missing, but the time to think about what you can do with what you have.
12, it is foolish for people to give up hope.
13, these two shoulders are quite strange. People are very old, but their shoulders are still strong and their necks are still strong. And when the old man is asleep and his head hangs forward, the wrinkles are not obvious.
14. He soon got to know each other. He dreamed of Africa he saw as a child, with long golden beaches and white beaches, dazzling white, towering headlands and brown mountains ... He no longer dreamed of storms, women, big events, big fish, fights, wrestling and his wife. Now he only dreams of lions in some places and on the beach. They play like kittens in the twilight, and he loves them as children.

I. Overview of The Old Man and the Sea
Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman, has found nothing for 84 days. In the first 40 days, Manof, a boy who admired him very much, went out to sea with him, but his parents thought the old man was unlucky and asked him to go fishing with other fishermen. At night, the old man fell asleep. He dreamed of Africa, beaches, mountains and lions he had seen when he was a child. The next morning, he went out to sea again with fish food and Manof's blessing. He rowed out to sea and spread fish food before dawn. At noon, he caught a huge fish, and he fought it with respect for two days and two nights. On the third day, he shot the fish. However, on the way home, fish blood attracted a group of sharks. He used all the tools on board to protect the big fish, but he couldn't stop it, leaving only the skeleton. In the middle of the night, he sailed back to the small port. In the morning, fishermen gathered around and Manof cried. He brought hot coffee to the old man and wanted to go to sea with him. The old man fell asleep in the hut, and he dreamed of lions again.
2. Appreciation of the Old Man and the Sea
1. He is an old man fishing alone in a boat in the Gulfstream. He has been there for eighty-four days and hasn't caught any fish.
Appreciation: attractive suspense. Hemingway set two suspense at the beginning of The Old Man and the Sea: the old man didn't catch a fish for 84 days in a row, and he was going to continue fishing on the 85th day. He is unfortunate, ie his children's parents think so of him. So, can he catch a big fish? When the old man thinks that his strength may be exhausted, he thinks that he has confidence and know-how. An "eccentric" old man like him will do everything well. So, what kind of confidence and know-how does he have? Where is his "eccentricity"? This is what readers are eager to know. This great attraction firmly leads you to find everything you want to know, and eventually you will get a satisfactory answer after reading the work.
Every part of him looks old except his eyes. Those eyes, as blue as the sea, are happy but not depressed.
Appreciation: "those eyes, as blue as the sea, are happy but not depressed." This is the youth of the elderly. Although the book does not describe the happy life when the old things are light, we can still imagine that this has been hinted at when describing the furnishings in the old people's homes.
The wind kept blowing and turned slightly to the northeast, which he knew meant that the wind would not subside. The old man looked ahead, but he couldn't see the sails, the boat and the smoke from the boat. Only flying fish flew out of the bow and flew away in panic, and there were clusters of yellow Sargasso. He can't even see a bird.
Appreciation: This is a negative description of the scenery. There seems to be no scenery, but there is actually a scenery. How much the old man wants to see all this. He was so lonely, but he couldn't see anything, so he fell in love.
4. The marlin began to swim quickly around the small fishing boat and wound the cable around the mast. The old man held the steel fork in his right hand and threw it at its heart with all his strength at the moment it jumped out of the water. A moan ended the life of the big fish, which floated quietly on the water. ...
Appreciation: My heart is like a big stone. I admire the old man's dauntless and persistent spirit. Although he knew his opponent was strong, he didn't flinch at all, but rose to meet the challenge. It is because of this spirit that the old fisherman won the battle of life and death. We should also learn from the old fisherman's spirit in our life. Only if we are not afraid of difficulties can we succeed.
5. One fish food was sent to a depth of 40 inches, the second fish food was sent to a depth of 75 inches, and the third and fourth fish ambassadors were sent to the seabed 100 inch and 125 inch respectively.
Appreciation: The Old Man and the Sea has a strong sense of visual image, which is inseparable from the author's application of some film techniques. At the beginning of the work, close-ups were used to show the sails and the old man's face. The close-up is most fully reflected in the details of the old people eating fish food: the action of releasing fish lines one by one is so meticulous and true.
6. The old man and the big fish kept at loggerheads until sunset, playing for two days and one night. The old man can't help recalling the experience of playing with a wrench with a black man in Casablanca when he was young.
Appreciation: The splicing technique is also properly used here, which shows that when the old man is very tired, in order to increase his self-confidence, he recalls the scene of winning a game with the most powerful black dock porter in a pub when he was young. This splicing is natural and appropriate, and he has the premise of existence: this is the game he thought of when his left hand was cramped and his right hand was injured, which accords with the psychology of the old man at this moment, so it is reasonable to have such an association. This makes the story coherent and unified, and also increases the capacity.
7. A lonely old man dragged his tired body and drifted on the vast sea like a warrior after the war. In order to subdue this huge marlin, he almost used up all his strength. Now, he's got what he's captured.
Appreciation: Hemingway gave the old man invincible spiritual strength. Time and time again, he stabbed a simple weapon into the shark's head with scarred hands. Even if the end result is still only 18 foot long fish skeleton. From the old man, we can easily see the dignity of the soul that Hemingway wants to convey to us.
8. "But people are not born to fail," he said. "A man can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated."
Appreciation: people can fail, but they can't be defeated. The external body can be tortured, but the internal will is sacred and inviolable. This sentence fully shows the image of San Diego as a tough guy and defends the soul and dignity of mankind. There is no doubt that this is Hemingway's values-the life of the killed marlin is the victim of the old man, the big fish and the old man become the victims of the shark together, and the shark will eventually become the victim of nature. This is the reflection of Hemingway's stubborn pessimism complex. If life means sacrifice, there is nothing that human beings can do. However, Hemingway was extremely sensitive and self-respecting, and he insisted on making the old man's actions meaningful. Although the old man's efforts have become the victims of nature, his spirit has won, and his spiritual strength has surpassed his previous life at sea and material ending. At this level, the elderly have achieved spiritual harmony and are no longer depressed.
