Besides,he thought,everything kills everything else in some way.Fishing kills me exactly as it keeps me alive.The boy keeps me alive,he thought.I must not deceive myself too much.
另外，他想，某种意义上说，是一物杀一物。捕鱼能要我的命，也能让我活着。那孩子让我活着，他想。我决不能太自欺欺人。

It is silly not to hope,he thought.Besides I believe it is a sin.Do not think about sin,he thought.There are enough problems now without sin.Also I have no understanding of it.
I have no understanding of it and I an not sure that I believe in it.Perhaps it was a sin to kill the fish.I suppose it was even though I did it to keep me alive and feed many people.But then everything is a sin.Do not think about sin.It is much too late for that and there are people who are paid to do it.Let them think about it.You were born to be a fisherman as the fish was born to be a fish.San Pedro was a fisherman as was the father of the great DiMaggio.
人不抱希望是很傻的，他想。另外，我相信这是罪过。别去想罪过了，他想。现在，没有罪过已经够麻烦了。而且，我又不懂什么是罪过。
我不懂这东西，也说不准是不是相信这东西。也许杀了这条鱼就是罪过。我猜想是的，即使我这么做是为了养活自己，为了让很多人有鱼吃。但那样的话，干什么都是罪过。别想罪过了。就是要想，也已经太晚了，何况有人是受雇来考录罪过的。就让他们去思考吧。就像鱼生来是鱼那样，你生来就是个渔夫。圣彼得是个渔夫，就像名将迪马乔父亲是个渔夫一样。

他已经证明了上千次，但这并不说明什么。现在，他正在再次证明，每一次都是新的一次，而每次证明的时候他从不回想过去。

But,he thought,I keep them with precision.Only I have no luck any more.But who knows?Maybe today.Every day is a new day.It is better to be lucky.But I would rather be exact.Then when luck comes you are ready.
不过，他想，我的钓线深度很精确，只不过是我不走运而已。可是谁知道呢？也许就在今天呢。每一天都是个崭新的日子。走运固然不错，不过我宁可保持精确。那样，机会来临时，你已经做好了准备。
