When the boy came back the old man was asleep in the chair and the sun was down. The boy took the old army blanket off the bed and spread it over the back of the chair and over the old man's shoulders. They were strange shoulders, still powerful although very old, and the neck was still strong too and the creases did not show so much when the old man was asleep and his head fallen forward. His shirt had been patched so many times that it was like the sail and the patches were faded to many different shades by the sun. The old man's head was very old though and with his eyes closed there was no life in his face. The newspaper lay across his knees and the weight of his arm held it there in the evening breeze. He was barefooted.
The boy left him there and when he came back the old man was still asleep (мальчик оставил его там, и когда он вернулся, старик все еще спал).
"Wake up old man (просыпайся, старик)," the boy said and put his hand on one of the old man's knees (сказал мальчик и положил свою руку на одно из колен старика).
The old man opened his eyes (старик открыл глаза) and for a moment he was coming back from a long way away (и несколько мгновений он возвращался откуда-то издалека). Then he smiled (затем он улыбнулся).
"What have you got (что у тебя есть = что ты принес)?" he asked.
"Supper (ужин)," said the boy. "We're going to have supper (мы будем ужинать)."
"I'm not very hungry (я не очень голоден)."
"Come on and eat (давай есть). You can't fish and not eat (ты не можешь рыбачить и не есть)."
"I have (такое бывало)," the old man said getting up and taking the newspaper and folding it (сказал старик, вставая, беря газету и складывая ее). Then he started to fold the blanket (затем он начал складывать одеяло).
"Keep the blanket around you (оставь одеяло вокруг себя = не снимай одеяло)," the boy said. "You'll not fish without eating while I'm alive (ты не будешь рыбачишь не евши, пока я жив)."
"Then live a long time and take care of yourself (тогда живи долго и заботься о себе = береги себя)," the old man said. "What are we eating (что мы будем есть)?"
"Black beans and rice (черную фасоль и рис), fried bananas (жареные бананы), and some stew (и немного тушенного мяса;
