老夫妻與海 (The Old Couple and the Sea)

#2023-0411B

I read Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea many years ago, and was deeply moved by the story that I'd rather believe was "mostly fictious" -- How sad it would be if it was a true story!

多年前讀過海明威的名作《老人與海》，感慨萬千，寧願相信那故事 "多半是虛構的" — 如果是真實的，那該怎麼說好呢？是多麼.... 有點.... 實在令人（為故事裡的主人翁）悲嘆不已！

But now my wife and I, both being so old, stood on the beach, facing the vast ocean (namely, the Pacific Ocean). It occurred to me that this blog post of mine could be aptly titled "The Old Couple and the Sea" -- We both have gotten a lot of experience of ups and downs, success and failure, and the so-called "life and death"; therefore, The Old Couple and the Sea can be a good choice for the title of this article.

而此刻我和老婆，都這麼老了，雙雙站在沙灘上，面對著浩瀚的大海，正是 "太平洋" 啊！我靈機一動，覺得本篇貼文可用《老夫妻與海》做題目。我倆都經歷過風風雨雨，有成功與失敗，還有所謂 "生與死" 的深刻感受；因此，《老夫妻與海》不失為本文標題的一個好選擇。
