1、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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
2、&＃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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
3、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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
5、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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
6、He did extraordinarily well in the war and afterwards was sent to Oxford although he tried very hard to get sent home. Daisy&＃039;s letters to him were nervous and desperate; she wanted to feel his presence beside her and to be told she was doing the right thing. ----《The Great Gatsby》
7、&＃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; ----《The Great Gatsby》
8、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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
9、When I came back from the East last autumn I felt I wanted the whole world to be in moral uniform all living a highly moral life for ever. I wanted no more wildness no more secrets of the human heart. ----《The Great Gatsby》
10、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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
11、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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
12、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! ----《The Great Gatsby》
13、The sun had risen now on Long Island and we went round the house opening the rest of the downstairs windows. Ghostly birds began to sing among the blue leaves. There was a slow pleasant movement in the air promising a cool lovely day. ----《The Great Gatsby》
14、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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
15、Gatsby believed in the green light the future that year by year moves further away from us. It escaped us then but that doesn&＃039;t matter – tomorrow we will run faster stretch out our arms further … And one fine morning …So we beat on boats against the current carried back ceaselessly into the past. ----《The Great Gatsby》
16、He knew that when he kissed this girl he would never dream his wild dreams again. So he waited listening for a moment longer to the music of the stars.Then he kissed her. At the touch of his lips love opened like a flower and his new life was born. ----《The Great Gatsby》
17、Gatsby his hands still in his pockets was standing in front of the fireplace. The back of his head was touching a clock on a shelf but he was trying to look perfectly comfortable and even a little bored. His miserable eyes stared down at Daisy who was sitting frightened but beautiful on the edge of a stiff chair. ----《The Great Gatsby》
18、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 ----《The Great Gatsby》
19、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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
20、By seven o&＃039;clock every Saturday night the orchestra has arrived. The last swimmers have come in from the beach and are dressing upstairs; there are at least five rows of cars from New York parked in front of the house and already the halls and rooms are full of colorful dresses and the latest strangest haircuts. ----《The Great Gatsby》
21、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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
22、Her frightened eyes told that whatever intentions whatever determination she had had were gone forever. ----《The Great Gatsby》
23、I wanted to get out and walk eastward toward the park in the soft evening half-light but each time I tried to go I got involved in some wild argument which pulled me back into the room. ----《The Great Gatsby》
24、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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
25、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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
26、But his heart was never at peace. The wildest most fantastic dreams kept him awake at night while the moonlight shone in on the untidy heap of his clothes on the floor. He was sure that a great future lay ahead of him. ----《The Great Gatsby》
27、&＃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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
28、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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
29、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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
30、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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
