But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.

exact: completely correct in every detail

Inshore: in the sea, but quite close to the land

老人自言自语:

"He's got something,"the old man said aloud. "He's not just looking."

"Dolphin," the old man said aloud. "Big dolphin."

此处老人来到海里，应该比较兴奋，看得出老人还是相当自信的

后面也有老人的自言自语，几次说话中感觉老人对待大海像是一个自己熟悉的人，又或许在海上他才是真正的他

后面对于他talking loud 的心理描写，老人的确是一个孤独的人。我一个人也经常自言自语。

老人说了"Yes"以及之后的活动，比如，小心翼翼地拿着线，不仅体现了经验丰富，还有内心的雀跃，84天不是白等的！老人知道不仅是大鱼，而且他志在必得

Motionless: not moving

Dove: past tense of dive

环境描写的很妙

The clouds over the land now rose like mountains and was only a long green line with the grey blue hills behind it.

对turtles 以及dolphins 的描写活灵活现 bird dropping and dipping into the bait

Unleashed: let loose

Urinated: to get rid of urine from your body
