1、It occurred to me that there was no difference between men in intelligence or race so profound as the difference between the sick and the well. ----F. Scott Fitzgerald
2、You see I think everything&＃039;s terrible anyway. Everybody thinks so. And I know. I&＃039;ve been everywhere and seen everything and done everything. Nothing&＃039;s new to me!&＃039; She laughed scornfully.The moment her voice stopped her power over me died away. I felt the basic insincerity of what she had said and it made me uneasy. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
3、The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart and all they can do is stare blankly. ----F. Scott Fitzgerald
4、Daisy asked me questions in her low exciting voice. Her face was sad and lovely with bright eyes and a bright beautiful mouth but it was her voice that men who loved her found difficult to forget. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
5、&＃039;Look!&＃039; said Daisy suddenly. Her eyes were on her little finger. We all looked. It was black and blue.&＃039;You did it Tom&＃039; she said accusingly. &＃039;I know you didn&＃039;t mean to but you did do it. That&＃039;s what I get for marrying a great big powerful animal of a man."I hate that word animal&＃039; said Tom crossly &＃039;even as a joke.&＃039; ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
6、There was music from my neighbor&＃039;s house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like night-flying insects among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
7、I walked out the back way – just as Gatsby had done half an hour earlier – and waited under a huge black tree in the middle of my lawn. Once more it was pouring and there was nothing to look at from under the tree except Gatsby&＃039;s enormous mansion.After half an hour the sun shone again. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
8、There was nothing I could say except the one thing that was impossible to say – that it wasn&＃039;t true.
I couldn&＃039;t forgive him or like him but I saw that he thought he had good reasons for what he had done. It was all very careless and confused. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
9、The lights grow brighter as the earth moves away from the sun and now the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail music. The voices are louder and higher and laughter is easier minute by minute. Suddenly a girl dances out alone on to the lawn and the party has begun. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
10、For a moment I thought I loved her. But I said nothing. I knew that first I had to get myself out of that connection back home. For me it had never been more than friendship but there was a sort of understanding between us and that had to be gently broken off before I was free. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
11、Suddenly Daisy bent her head into the shirts and began to cry stormily.&＃039;They&＃039;re such beautiful shirts&＃039; she sobbed. &＃039;It makes me sad because I&＃039;ve never seen such – such beautiful shirts before.&＃039;Outside Gatsby&＃039;s window it began to rain again and we stood in a row looking out at the sea beyond the lawn.&＃039; ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
12、I began to like New York especially the adventurous feel of it at night. I liked to walk up Fifth Avenue and choose romantic women from the crowd – I used to imagine that in a few minutes I was going to enter their lives and no one would ever know. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
13、We shook hands and I started to walk away. A little way down the path I remembered something and turned around.
&＃039;They&＃039;re a rotten crowd&＃039; I shouted across the lawn. &＃039;You&＃039;re worth the whole damned lot of them.&＃039;
I&＃039;ve always been glad I said that. It was the only nice thing I ever said to him. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
14、He smiled understandingly. It was one of those smiles that you see only four or five times in your life. It showed you that he understood you believed in you and had the best possible opinion of you. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
15、Instead of taking the short cut across the lawn we walked down to the road and entered through the main gates. With murmurs of delight Daisy admired the flowers the gardens and the way the mansion stood out against the sky. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
16、While I watched him his hand took hold of hers and as she said something low in his ear he turned toward her with a sudden rush of feeling. I think that feverish exciting voice of hers held him most because it couldn&＃039;t be dreamed – that voice was a deathless song. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
17、Once I had reached my front door I looked back across the lawn. A sudden emptiness seemed to flow now from the windows and the great doors of Gatsby&＃039;s mansion. Standing on the porch was the lonely figure of the host his hand raised in a formal goodbye. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
18、And so with the sunshine and the leaves bursting out on the trees I had that recognizable feeling that life was beginning over again with the summer. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
19、&＃039;Why didn&＃039;t he ask you to arrange a meeting?&＃039;&＃039;He wants her to see his house and you live right next door.&＃039;It was dark now and I put my arm round Jordan&＃039;s golden shoulder and drew her toward me. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
20、But with every word of his she was drawing further and further into herself so he stopped that and only the dead dream fought on as the afternoon slipped away trying unhappily to reach that lost voice across the room. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
21、With tiny movements that were only the shadows of waves the mattress floated irregularly down the pool carrying its load. A small breath of wind was enough to disturb its accidental journey and the touch of some leaves on the surface made it turn slowly leaving a thin red circle in the water. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
22、I went in – after making every possible noise in the kitchen – but I don&＃039;t believe they heard a sound. They were sitting at either end of the sofa and every sign of embarrassment was gone. Daisy had been crying and was drying her tears. But there was a surprising change in Gatsby. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
23、IN THE MORNING IN THE EVENING AIN&＃039;T WE GOT FUN—
Outside the wind was loud. All the lights were going on in West Egg now; the electric trains were carrying men home from New York and there was excitement in the air. ONE THING&＃039;S SURE AND NOTHING&＃039;S SURER THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET-CHILDREN. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
24、Daisy disappeared into her rich house into her rich full life leaving Gatsby – nothing. He felt married to her that was all
When they met again two days later it was Gatsby who was unsure of himself who would do anything to see her again. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
25、He talked a lot about the past and I understood that he wanted to rediscover something some idea of himself perhaps that had gone into loving Daisy. His life had been confused and meaningless since then but if he could only return to a certain starting place and go over it all slowly ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
26、From the car window Daisy&＃039;s face looked out at me from under a three-cornered hat with a delighted smile.&＃039;Is this absolutely where you live my dearest one?&＃039;Her lovely voice made the gray day feel brighter. I took her hand to help her from the car.&＃039;Are you in love with me?&＃039; she said low in my ear. &＃039; ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
27、He stayed there a week revisiting the places where he and Daisy had been together. He left the town feeling that if he had searched harder he could have found her. On the train out of town he stretched his arms out of the window trying to catch a handful of the air that she had breathed. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
28、After his embarrassment and then his unreasoning joy he now felt only wonder that she was there.Pulling himself together he opened two huge cupboards to show us his well-cut suits expensive shirts and silk ties.&＃039;I&＃039;ve got a man in England who buys me clothes. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
29、IN THE MEANTIME IN BETWEEN TIME—As I went over to say goodbye I saw the dazed look on Gatsby&＃039;s face again. Was he doubting the quality of his happiness? Almost five years! ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
30、&＃039;Here my dear.&＃039; She felt drunkenly around on the floor and picked up the necklace. &＃039;Give it back to whoever it belongs to. And tell them all Daisy&＃039;s changed her mind!&＃039;She began to cry – she cried and cried. I rushed out and found her mother&＃039;s servant girl. We locked the door and got Daisy into a cold bath. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
