　　勇意志。这本书向咱们揭示了这样一个真理：人不是为了失败而生的，一个人能够被毁灭，但不能被打败。

　　乱扎。刀子折断了，他用短棍。短棍也丢掉了，他用舵把来打。这本书揭示出的真理，不就说明了人无论怎样，最怕的就是没有信心。信心就好比是汽车的马达，是人前进的动力。如果你做一件事有了信心，你就等于成功了一半。这本书中主人公充满信心、锲而不舍的精神，不正是我所缺少的吗？

　　Sincereadingthisbook，Iknowthathislackoflearningisnolongerduetoalossofconfidenceinthetwodonotgowell，butmorepoorlyinanexam，themoretobeagoodtest.Inthefinalexamtheday，themorningtwohomeworkresults，Idonothaveacertainclassofstudentsisgood，butIadmitdefeat，butconfidencethatthedeterminationtofightaturnaround.Languageexaminationsintheafternoon，IhavedoneeveryRoadtopicsareespeciallycareful.Sureenough，Iwasclassofthefirstlanguageexaminations，totalscore，Iamalsoafirst.自从读了这本书之后，我知道了自我的不足，领悟上不再正因一两次不顺利而失去信心，而是越考不好，就越要考好。在期末考试的那一天，上午的两门功课成绩，我没有班里的某一个同学好，但是我并不服输，反而信心倍增，决心打一个翻身仗。下午的语文考试，我做每一道题目都格外仔细。果然，我语文考试是班里的第一名，总成绩上，我也是第一名。

　　《老人与海》中，孤独的老渔夫桑提亚哥已经不仅仅仅是条硬汉，他身上所体现的精神价值，完全是古希腊杯具精神的现代回响。在《老人与海》中，海明威最后为他所钟爱的硬汉找到了灵魂，这灵魂就是人类亘古不变的永恒价值。因此，在《老人与海》中，硬汉桑提亚哥的刚毅性格，已经成为小说的表面。透过桑提亚哥硬汉性格来礼赞人类的永恒价值，才成为小说的真正主题。《老人与海》中展现了哪些永恒的价值呢？

　　Thefirstispeople'sself-confidence.Santiagoconsecutive84daysatsea，anddidnotcatchafish.However，the"pairofeyes，ah，likewater，likeblue，ishappy，notdepressed."OriginallytofollowSantiagoonfishingexpeditionschildren，spokeofhisfathercalledhimtotheotherboatandsaid，:"Hedidnotmuchself-confidence.""Yes."theoldmansaid，"Butwehave，yousayisnotit?"首先就是人的自信。桑提亚哥连续出海八十四天了，1条鱼也没捕到。但是，“那双眼睛啊，像海水一样蓝，是愉快的，毫不沮丧的。”原先跟随桑提亚哥出海捕鱼的小孩，谈到他父亲把他叫到别的船上去，说道：“他没多大的自信。”“是的。”老头儿说，“但是咱们有，你说是不是？”Santiagoinself-confidenceisabsoluteself-confidence，isnottoenvironmentalchangeandchangesinself-confidence，itdoesnotparewithothers，self-confidence.InSantiago'sphilosophyofexistence，evenwhenconfrontedwithapoleoftheunluckypeoplecanonlyself-confidence.桑提亚哥的自信是绝对自信，是不以环境变化而变化的自信，是不用与他

　　人比较的自信。在桑提亚哥的生存哲学中，即使遭遇到了极点的背运，人也只能自信。Peoplealive，theonlywaytodeterminethenecessity，thatis，todeath.Inaddition，thereisnoboundtowhatcanrelyon.Sincethepersonisalivebychance，thenthecouragetosupporthumanlife，theonlyconfident.Ifweloseself-confidence，inthecontinuingunluckysomanydaysaftertheSantiagothereisthecourageandperseveranceonfishingexpeditionsdo?Therefore，peoplelivetobeconfident，notself-confidenceisforhumanconsumptioncannotaffordluxury.ItispreciselybecauseSantiagohadanabsoluteself-confidence，hewascalledawaytothechildrentoexpressapletetoleranceandunderstanding.Here，Hemingwayhasdemonstratedthelinkbetweenself-confidenceandtolerance."Hits"inthemainspace，describingthelonelyoldfishermanSantiago，intheopenseaandinlargemarlinandavarietyofsharksentangled，foughtforthreedaysandthreenightsexperience.ByHemingwayfullestdescri

　　ption，wefelttheSantiagodesperatestrugglewiththefateoftheheroicandnoble.Lastdraghomefortheelderlyonlya18feet-longfishskeleton，theonlypleteskeletonistheheadandbeautifulfishtail.人活着，唯一能确定的必然，就是走向死亡。除此之外，没有任何必然的东西能够依靠。既然人是靠偶然活着的，那么支撑人生存勇气的，就只有自信了。如果丧失了自信，在持续那么多天的背运之后，桑提亚哥还有勇气和毅力出海捕鱼吗？因此人活着就务必自信，不自信是人消费不起的奢侈品。正正因桑提亚哥有着绝对自信，他对小孩被叫走，表示了完全的宽容和明白。在那里，海明威展现了自信与宽容之间的联系。《老人与海》的主要篇幅，是描述孤独的老渔夫桑提亚哥，在茫茫大海上和大马林鱼和各种鲨鱼纠缠、搏斗了三天三夜的经历。透过海明威淋漓尽致的描述，咱们充分感受到了桑提亚哥与命运作殊死抗争的悲壮与崇高。老人最后拖回家的只是一副十八英尺长的鱼的骨架，骨架上唯一完整的是鱼头和漂亮的鱼尾巴。Fromthephysicalpointofview，elderlypeoplefoughtforthreedaysandthreenightsaresultoffailure;butthehumanspirit，fromtheperson'sself-confi

　　denceself-esteem，courageanddestinyfromthehumantomakeeveryefforttostruggleforvictorySantiago.从物质上来说，老人搏斗了三天三夜的结果是失败了；但从人的精神、从人的自信自尊，从人勇于和命运作竭尽全力的抗争来说，桑提亚哥取得了胜利。Afterall，thetruevictorycanonlybeatriumphofthespirit.Nomatterwhomademuchmaterialsuccess，theycannotwinourrespectandthanks.Onlythespiritandthespiritofvictory，itmovesus，thatwehavetofollowtheelderlyandchildren，forhistragictears.说到底，人的真正胜利也只能是精神的胜利。人在物质上无论取得多大的成就，都不能赢得咱们崇高的敬意。而只有精神和气魄的胜利，才使咱们感动，才使咱们和追随老人的孩子一样，为他的悲壮落泪。
