Scott Flansburg_有关F·,Scott,Fitzgerald名言1、'Look!' said Daisy suddenly. Her eyes were on her little finger. We all looked. It was black and blue.'You did it, Tom,' she said accusingly. 'I know you didn't mean to, but you did do it. That's what I get for marrying a great big powerful animal of a man.I hate that word animal,' said Tom crossly, 'even as a joke.' -The Great Gatsby2、Already it was deep summer, and when I reached my house, I put the car away and sat for a while out in my small garden. It was a loud, bright night, with wings beating in the trees and insects flying above my head. A cat moved across the grass in the moonlight, and, turning my head to watch it, I saw that I was not alone. -The Great Gatsby3、There was nothing I could say, except the one thing that was impossible to say that it wasn't true. I couldn'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 Gatsby4、IN THE MEANTIME, IN BETWEEN TIMEAs I went over to say goodbye, I saw the dazed look on Gatsby's face again. Was he doubting the quality of his happiness? Almost five years! -The Great Gatsby5、He did extraordinarily well in the war, and afterwards was sent to Oxford, although he tried very hard to get sent home. Daisy'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 Gatsby6、Daisy put her arm through his, but Gatsby seemed lost in thought. Possibly he had realized that the enormous importance of that light had now gone for ever. To him it had seemed very near to her, almost touching her, as close as a star to the moon. Now it was just a green light on a dock again.'Look!' cried Daisy. -The Great Gatsby7、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 Gatsby8、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 Gatsby9、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 Gatsby10、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. -The Great Gatsby11、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's mansion. Standing on the porch was the lonely figure of the host, his hand raised in a formal goodbye. -The Great Gatsby12、I went in after making every possible noise in the kitchen but I don'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 Gatsby13、We shook hands and I started to walk away. A little way down the path, I remembered something and turned around. 'They're a rotten crowd,' I shouted across the lawn. 'You're worth the whole damned lot of them.'   I've always been glad I said that. It was the only nice thing I ever said to him. -The Great Gatsby14、Perhaps his presence gave the evening its peculiarly threatening quality it stands out in my memory from Gatsby's other parties that summer. -The Great Gatsby15、'Why didn't he ask you to arrange a meeting?''He wants her to see his house, and you live right next door.'It was dark now, and I put my arm round Jordan's golden shoulder and drew her toward me. -The Great Gatsby16、I see now that this has been a story of the West, after all. Tom and Gatsby, Daisy and Jordan and I, were all Westerners, and perhaps there was something missing in every one of us, so that we were never able to get used to Eastern life. -The Great Gatsby17、They were gone, without a word. After a moment or two, we left too. Jordan and I got into the coupé with Tom, and we started for Long Island. Tom was very pleased with himself, talking and laughing all the way, but Jordan and I were not listening. -The Great Gatsby18、A moment later she rushed out into the darkness, waving her hands and shouting. Before he could move, it was all over. -The Great Gatsby19、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 Gatsby20、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.'I've got a man in England who buys me clothes. -The Great Gatsby21、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's enormous mansion.After half an hour the sun shone again. -The Great Gatsby22、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. -The Great Gatsby23、Most of the big houses along the shore were closed now for the winter, and were in darkness; there was only the shadowy, moving light of a ferryboat across the water. And as the moon rose higher, the houses slowly began to melt away, until I became aware of the old island underneath. -The Great Gatsby24、Her frightened eyes told that whatever intentions, whatever determination she had had, were gone forever. -The Great Gatsby25、They had forgotten me, but Daisy looked up and held out her hand; Gatsby didn't know me now at all. I looked once more at them and they looked back at me, distantly, enclosed in their own bright world. Then I went out of the room and down the grand steps into the rain, leaving them there together. -The Great Gatsby26、I tried to think about Gatsby then for a moment, but he was already too far away, and I could only remember, without anger, that Daisy hadn't sent a message or a flower. When it was over, we walked quickly through the rain to the cars. Owl-eyes spoke to me by the gate. 'I couldn't get to the house,' he remarked. -The Great Gatsby27、'Here, my dear.' She felt drunkenly around on the floor, and picked up the necklace. 'Give it back to whoever it belongs to. And tell them all, Daisy's changed her mind!'She began to cry she cried and cried. I rushed out and found her mother's servant girl. We locked the door and got Daisy into a cold bath. -The Great Gatsby28、There was music from my neighbor'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 Gatsby29、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 Gatsby30、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
