。。。only intent upon one thing。。。

English to Chinese Art/Literary Poetry & Literature

God love us, a man begins to believe that the accursed world is only intent upon one thing—giving all their riches to Old Man Sea.

Proposed translations (Chinese)

jarv95888 Jul 21, 2012: That is good enough translation to me.
GY Ren (asker) Jul 21, 2012: 這個受詛咒的世界只有一個目的 – 把所有的財富都給這個古老大海的主宰著. (this story is written before 'The old man and the sea' though)
GY Ren (asker) Jul 21, 2012: H jarv, possible, the whole story is about sea, seaman. how would you translate the whole sentence?
jarv95888 Jul 21, 2012: Hi, Ren. Perhaps it's just my random association but is "Old Man Sea" an allusion to Old Man and the Sea? (The setting is somewhat similiar.)
