节选自《老人与海》中的一段，描述老人的渔船被大鱼拖入深海中的第二天日出时分的景色。阳光从海面升起射出奇异的光辉，斑斑红点的浮游生物，被太阳晒褪色的海草以及像气泡带着紫色毒丝的僧帽水母，从小船边漂浮而过。
读到这一段时，想象着清晨在海上看日出的情景。海水由深紫色逐渐转变成红色，浪花温柔的拍打着船身，浮游生物，水草，梦幻般的水母漂浮而过，宁静祥和。清冷的空气夹杂着海水的腥气与潮湿扑面而来，远处是已经模糊的海岸线。置身其中方知人类之渺小，海浪似乎能卷走一切不快，净化世间所有不洁。
The clouds over the land now rose like mountains and the coast was only a long green line with the gray blue hills behind it. The water was a dark blue now, so dark that it was almost purple.As he looked down into it he saw the red sifting of the plankton in the dark water and the strange light the sun made now.He watched his lines to see them go straight down out of sight into the water and he was happy to see so much plankton because it meant fish.The strange light the sun made in the water, now the sun was higher, meant good weather and so did the shape of the clouds over the land. But the bird was out of sight now and nothing showed on the surface of the water but some patches of yellow, sun-bleached Sargasso weed and the purple, formalized, iridescent, gelatinous bladder of a Portuguese man-of-war floating does beside the boat. It turned on its side and then righted itself. It floated cheerfully as a bubble with its long deadly purple filament trailing a yard behind in the water.
