Английский язык с Э. Хемингуэем. Старик и море

It must be very strange in an airplane (в самолете, должно быть, очень странно), he thought. I wonder what the sea looks like from that height (интересно, как выглядит море с такой высоты)? They should be able to see the fish well if they do not fly too high (они могли бы хорошо видеть рыбу, если бы не летели слишком высоко). I would like to fly very slowly at two hundred fathoms high (я хотел бы медленно лететь на высоте в двести саженей) and see the fish from above (и видеть рыбу сверху). In the turtle boats I was in the cross-trees of the mast-head (в «черепашьих» лодках = когда я плавал за черепахами я взбирался на верхушку мачты) and even at that height I saw much (и даже с такой высоты я многое видел). The dolphin look greener from there (дорадо выглядит зеленее оттуда) and you can see their stripes and their purple spots (и ты можешь видеть их полоски и фиолетовые пятна) and you can see all of the school as they swim (и видишь всю плывущую стаю). Why is it that all the fast-moving fish of the dark current (почему так /получается/, что вся быстрая рыба темного течения = плавающая на темной глубине) have purple backs and usually purple stripes or spots (имеет фиолетовые спины и обычно фиолетовые полоски или пятна)? The dolphin looks green of course because he is really golden (дорадо, конечно, кажется зеленой, потому что она на самом деле золотистая). But when he comes to feed, truly hungry (но когда он кормится, действительно голодный), purple stripes show on his sides as on a marlin (фиолетовые полоски проступают по его бокам, как у марлиня). Can it be anger (может это быть из-за злости), or the greater speed he makes that brings them out (или б'oльшая скорость, которую он развивает, заставляет их появиться)?

"With so much flying fish there should be dolphin," he said, and leaned back on the line to see if it was possible to gain any on his fish. But he could not and it stayed at the hardness and water-drop shivering that preceded breaking. The boat moved ahead slowly and he watched the airplane until he could no longer see it.
