《了不起的盖茨比》

李佳1

这些都是一些经典台词，很有哲理性！

这时，天色已经暗了下来，我们这排高高地俯瞰着城市的灯火通明的窗户，一定让街头偶尔抬头眺望的人感到了，人类的秘密也有其一份在这里吧，我也是这样的一个过路人，举头望着诧异着。我既在事内又在事外，既被永无枯竭的五彩纷呈的生活所吸引，同时又被其排斥着。

Yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets, and I was him too,looking up and wondering. I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.

2.世界上只有被追求者和追求者，忙碌者和疲惫者。

There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.

4.许多种情感鱼贯似地流露到她的脸上，仿佛正被冲洗着的相纸一点一点地显示出物景那样。

So engrossed was she that she had no consciousness of being observed, and one emotion after another crept into her face like objects into a slowly developing picture.

5.她消逝在了她那奢华的房子里，消逝在了她那富裕充实的生活之中，留给盖茨比的--只是一无所有。

She vanished into her rich house, into her rich, full life, leaving Gatsby-nothing.

6.如果我的设想没有错，那么他肯定明白他失去了原来那个温暖的世界，已经为怀有一个梦想太久而付出高昂的代价。他肯定抬起过头，透过那些可怕的树叶，发现天空是如此的陌生;而当他发现玫瑰是如此的丑陋，照耀着稀疏青草的阳光是如此的残酷，他肯定会感到不寒而栗。他宛若处于一个新的世界，一个具体而又虚假的世界，在这里，可怜的幽灵呼吸着空气般的梦想，漫无目的飘来荡去······

If that was true he must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too long with a single dream. He must have looked up at an unfamiliar sky through frightening leaves and shivered as he found what a grotesque thing a rose is and how raw the sunlight was upon the scarcely created grass. A new world, material without being real, where poor ghosts, breathing dreams like air, drifted fortuitously about . . .

8.他走过漫漫长路才来到这片蓝色的港湾，肯定觉得梦想已经离得非常近，几乎伸出手就能够抓得到。他所不知道的是，梦想已经落在了他身后，落在纽约以西那广袤无垠的大地上，落在黑暗夜幕下连绵不绝的美国原野上。

He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night.

9.我渐渐喜欢上纽约，这里的夜晚别有活力十足而引人入胜的情调，摩肩接踵的红男绿女和川流不息的往来车辆让人感到目不暇给和心满意足。我喜欢沿着第五大道朝北走，从人潮中挑选出罗曼蒂克的女人，幻想再过几分钟我就要进入她们的生活，跟到她们位于某个阴暗街角的公寓，她们转过头来，朝我嫣然一笑，然后走进门，消失在温暖的黑暗里。这大都会的黄昏很迷人，可我偶尔会有挥之不去的孤寂，每当看见那些囊肿羞涩的年轻职员在商店橱窗之前徜徉，捱到晚饭时间形影相吊地去餐厅填饱肚子，我知道他们也深有同感--我们这些薄雾中的年轻职员啊，正在虚度一生中最灿烂的年华、一年中最美好的时辰。

10.在这个世界里，轻歌曼舞尽日不绝，声色犬马终年无休。萨克斯管彻夜吹奏着如泣如诉的“毕尔街蓝调”，上百双金色、银色的舞鞋踢起闪亮的灰尘。到了茶歇时间，这首低沉而甜蜜的热门歌曲依旧不断地回荡着，而许多新鲜的面孔宛若被那些铜管吹落在地面的玫瑰花瓣，在舞厅里到处飘来飘去。
