1、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; ----《The Great Gatsby》
2、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 Gatsby》
3、She looked away from me and up to the top of the steps. We could hear Three o&＃039;clock in the Morning a neat sad little dance song coming from the open door. What was it in the song that seemed to be calling her back inside? What would happen now in the soft hours of darkness? ----《The Great Gatsby》
4、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 Gatsby》
5、And as I lay there thinking about the old unknown world I thought of Gatsby&＃039;s wonder when he first saw the green light at the end of Daisy&＃039;s dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn and his dream must have seemed so close to him. ----《The Great Gatsby》
6、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》
7、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》
8、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》
9、One autumn night five years before they had been walking down the street. The ground was white with moonlight and they stopped and turned toward each other. It was a cool night but with that mysterious excitement in it which comes as the seasons change. ----《The Great Gatsby》
10、Her frightened eyes told that whatever intentions whatever determination she had had were gone forever. ----《The Great Gatsby》
11、&＃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》
12、&＃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》
13、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》
14、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》
15、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》
16、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》
17、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》
18、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》
19、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》
20、When I came home to West Egg that night I was afraid for a moment that my house was on fire. Two o&＃039;clock in the morning and the whole of the coastline seemed to be in flames. Turning a corner I saw that it was Gatsby&＃039;s house lit from tower to cellar.At first I thought it was another party. ----《The Great Gatsby》
21、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 Gatsby》
22、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.&＃039;Look!&＃039; cried Daisy. ----《The Great Gatsby》
23、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》
24、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》
25、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 Gatsby》
26、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. ----《The Great Gatsby》
27、If that was true he must have felt that he had lost the old warm world and paid a high price for living too long with a single dream. He must have looked up through frightening leaves at a new world full of poor ghosts breathing dreams … like that ashen fantastic figure coming slowly toward him through the trees. ----《The Great Gatsby》
28、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》
29、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&＃039;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.
&＃039;I couldn&＃039;t get to the house&＃039; he remarked. ----《The Great Gatsby》
30、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》
