老人和鱼
"Blessed virgin, pray for the death of this fish. Wonderful though he is."
"...Christ, I did not know he was so big."
一条难缠的大鱼，就像老人的对手，老人对它十分了解却也惺惺相惜
"I'll kill him though," he said. "In all his greatness and his glory."
But I will show him what a man can do and what a man endures.
此处还有老人的自信满满，以及遇到如此极品大鱼跃跃欲试就要成功的兴奋
"How do you feel, fish?"
"The fish is my friend, too," he said aloud. "I have never seen or heard of such a fish..."
老人认为鱼是他的朋友
But he was such a calm, strong fish and he seemed so fearless and so confident.
很久未遇到一个如此强壮的对手，（后来看到和大鱼搏斗，真心替老人捏一把汗）
dignity: calm controlled, and admirable
老人回忆和negro掰手腕时也体现了他的自信，和对对手的欣赏

He decided that he could beat anyone if he wanted badly enough
beaten: feels defeated and not respect
unjust: unfair
shrugged:
