　　經典臺詞一

　　1、他經過慢慢追索才來到了這片藍色的草地上，他的夢想一定已經離得他如此之以至于他幾乎不會抓不到它了。他不知道他的夢想已經被甩在了他的身后，已經隱藏在了城市以外的冥蒙之中，在那里共和國的黑暗的土地在黑夜中延伸著……

　　英文：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.

　　2、蓋茨比比以前任何時候都深切地感受到了財富所能賜予青春的魅力和它所能持有的神秘，感受到了錦衣靚飾的清新怡人，意識到了像銀子似的發著熠熠光彩的黛西，安然傲倨于勞苦人為生活所做的拼死斗爭之上。

　　英文：Gatsby was overwhelmingly aware of the youth and mystery that wealth imprisons and Pserves, of the freshness of many clothes, and of Daisy, gleaming like silver, safe and proud above the hot struggles of the poor.

　　3、他懷著一種創造性的情感將自己全身心地投入到它的中間，不斷地為它增添內容，用飄浮到他路上的每一根漂亮羽毛去裝扮它。有誰知道在一個人的波詭云譎的心里，能蓄下多少火一樣的激情和新鮮的念頭。

　　英文：He had thrown himself into it with a creative passion, adding to it all the time, decking it out with every bright feather that drifted his way. No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.

　　4、這時，天色已經暗了下來，我們這排高高地俯瞰著城市的燈火通明的窗戶，一定讓街頭偶爾抬頭眺望的人感到了，人類的秘密也有其一份在這里吧，我也是這樣的一個過路人，舉頭望著詫異著。我既在事內又在事外，幾杯永無枯竭的五彩紛呈的生活所吸引，同時又被其排斥著。

　　英文：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.

　　5、每當你覺得想要批評什么人的時候，你切要記著，這個世界上的人并非都具備你稟有的條件。

　　英文：Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.

　　6、我整夜沒睡;霧笛聲一個勁兒在桑德海灣上凄惻地鳴響，我輾轉反側，像生了病一樣，理不清哪些是猙獰的現實，哪些是可怕的夢魘。

　　英文：I couldn't sleep all night; a fog-horn was groaning incessantly on the Sound, and I tossed half-sick between grotesque reality and savage, frightening dreams.

　　7、他是上帝之子，如果這個詞還有什么別的含義的話，這里只能用它的本意，他要為天父的事業而獻身，服務于這一博大而又粗俗、浮華而又美麗的事業。

　　英文：He was a son of God—a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that—and he must be about His Father's business, the service of a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty.

　　8、人們的品行有的好像建筑在堅硬的巖石上，有的好像建筑在泥沼里，不過超過一定的限度，我就不在乎它建在什么之上了。

　　英文：Conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes, but after a certain point I don't care what it's founded on.

　　9、許多種情感魚貫似地流露到她的臉上，仿佛正被沖洗著的相紙一點一點地顯示出物景那樣。

　　英文：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.

　　10、月光漸漸升高，顯得渺小的房屋開始融入這溶溶的月色中去，此時我的眼前逐漸浮現出這座古老的島嶼當年在荷蘭航海者眼中的那種妖嬈風姿——一個新世界的翠綠 欲滴胸膛。它那現在不復存在的林木(為修造蓋茨比住過的這座別墅被砍伐掉了)曾經溫馨地煽起人類最后的也是最偉大的夢想;在那短暫的神奇時刻里，人類一定 在這片大陸前屏住了呼吸，情不自禁地耽入到他既不理解也沒希冀過的美的享受之中，在歷史上最后一次面對面地欣賞著，這一與他的感受驚奇的力量相稱的景觀。

　　英文：And as the moon rose higher the inessential houses began to melt away until gradually I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors' eyes—a fresh, green breast of the new world. Its vanished trees, the trees that had made way for Gatsby's house, had once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the Psence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.
