Chapter1 56-60
56) “No,” the boy said. “But I will see something that he cannot see such as a bird working and get him to come out after dolphin.”
57) “Are his eyes that bad?” “He is almost blind.”
58) “It is strange,” the old man said. “He never went turtle-ing. That is what kills the eyes.”
59) “But you went turtle-ing for years off the Mosquito Coast and your eyes are good.”
60) “I am a strange old man” “But are you strong enough now for a truly big fish?” “I think so. And there are many tricks.”

off : モスキート海岸から離れて、転じて、モスキート海岸沖で
