有些作家的作品你只能读原貌，不幸地是海明威就是其中之一。倒不是说译文怎样，就如同我们的古诗一样可以把涵义翻译成各国语言，但无论翻译多么优美通俗其口感韵味必然丧失。海明威用写音律的规则去书写文字的。老人与海是不是其中，我到不清楚。不过关于原貌的事，你需要知道。

Btw,heard you talking about English that it’s not the right time to do it. I can’t help to say something you might not happy to listening, but here we are, so here is my words: I started beginning English since 2018 Nov with nothing. (almost as your age)And here I am, as you can see my English is imperfect but I don’t think it will be able enough to stop you for understanding what I’m saying, don’t you. They used to say:”there are only two best times for planting a tree, first is ten years ago and now.(种一棵树最好的时间首先是十年前，其次是现在。）if we have technology in 20 years earlier as now, I will eat English like ice cream! Easy! The language just a tool for people to use it, forget about all those rules, think about how did you get the first language(Mandarin or hometown words)when you was a baby. Listening and speaking is all matters, first listening then you just repetition and repetition to being acting like it then you will understand by naturally. (I didn’t meant to say that rules is not important but grammar can later. Don’t forgot our colloquialism already contains the grammar otherwise how do we understand each other.
