He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream (он был старым человеком = стариком, который рыбачил один в шлюпке в Гольфстриме) and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish (и он ходил /в море/ уже восемьдесят четыре дня и не поймал ни рыбешки: «без улова»; taking — ловля, улов). In the first forty days a boy had been with him (в первые сорок дней с ним был мальчик). But after forty days without a fish (но после сорока дней без улова) the boy's parents had told him that the old man was now definitely and finally salao (родители мальчика сказали ему, что старик теперь явно и окончательно salao), which is the worst form of unlucky (что означает худшую форму невезучести; unlucky — неудачливый), and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat (и мальчик ушел по их приказу в другую лодку) which caught three good fish the first week (которая поймала три хороших рыбины в первую неделю). It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty (мальчик грустил: «это делало мальчика грустным», видя, как старик приходит каждый день с пустой лодкой) and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines (и он всегда приходил помочь ему нести либо свернутые лесы; to go down — спускаться; идти /от центра к периферии/) or the gaff (либо багор[1]) and harpoon (гарпун) and the sail that was furled around the mast (и парус, который был обмотан вокруг мачты; to furl — свертывать; убирать паруса). The sail was patched with flour sacks (парус был залатан мешками из под муки) and, furled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat (и, свернутый, он выглядел как флаг неизменного поражения; permanent — постоянный, неизменный).

definite ['defInIt], either ['QIDq], furl [fWl]
