Ⅲ.Ernest Hemingway “The Old Man and the Sea” (77)
It must be very strange in an aeroplane, he thought. I wonder what the sea looks like from that height. They should be able to see the fish well if they do not fly too high. I would like from that height. They should be able to see the fish well if they do not fly too high. I would like to fly very slowly at two hundred fathoms high and see the fish from above. In the turtle boats I was in the cross-trees of the mast-head and even at that height I saw much. The dolphin look greener from there and you can see their stripes and their purple spots and you can see all of the school as they swim. Why is it that all the fast-moving fish of the dark current have purple backs and usually purple stripes or spots? The dolphin looks green of course because he is really golden. But when he comes to feed, truly hungry, purple stripes show on his sides as on a marlin. Can it be anger, or the greater speed he makes that brings them out?
(石波杏訳)
飛行機に乗ったら、きっと妙な気持ちになるだろうな、と彼は思った。あの高さから、海はどう見えるのか。あまり高いところを飛ばなければ、魚が見えるだろう。二百尋くらいの高さをゆっくり飛んで、上から魚を見てみたい。亀獲り船に乗っていた頃、マストの先の横木(クロスツリー)によく登ったものだが、そのくらいの高さでもずいぶん見えた。そこからだとシイラは濃い緑色に見えて、縞模様と紫色の斑点も見えるんだ。それに、泳いでいる群れの全体を見渡せる。しかしなぜ、暗い流れの中を素早く泳ぐ魚というのは、どれもみな紫色の背中で、紫色の縞や斑点があるんだろう。シイラは本当は金色だから、もちろん緑色に見えるんだが、ひどく腹をすかせて餌を食う時になると、側面にカジキみたいな紫色の縞が浮き出るんだ。怒りのせいなのか、それとも、普段よりスピードを出すせいなのか。
