1、&＃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》
2、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》
3、Her frightened eyes told that whatever intentions whatever determination she had had were gone forever. ----《The Great Gatsby》
4、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》
5、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 Gatsby》
6、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》
7、As Gatsby closed the door of the library I was almost sure I heard the owl-eyed man break into ghostly laughter.Upstairs we saw luxuriously furnished bedrooms with fresh flowers on the tables dressing rooms and bathrooms. ----《The Great Gatsby》
8、He smiled understandingly. It was one of those smiles that you see only four or five times in your life. It showed you that he understood you believed in you and had the best possible opinion of you. ----《The Great Gatsby》
9、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》
10、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》
11、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》
12、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》
13、A moment later she rushed out into the darkness waving her hands and shouting. Before he could move it was all over. ----《The Great Gatsby》
14、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》
15、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》
16、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》
17、IN THE MEANTIME IN BETWEEN TIMEAs 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》
18、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》
19、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》
20、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.&＃039;I&＃039;ve got a man in England who buys me clothes. ----《The Great Gatsby》
21、&＃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》
22、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》
23、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》
24、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》
25、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》
26、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》
27、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 te way but Jordan and I were not listening. ----《The Great Gatsby》
28、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》
29、There was dancing now on the lawn the orchestra was playing jazz and champagne was being served in glasses bigger than finger bowls. The moon had risen higher and floating in the ocean was a silver triangle trembling a little in the night air. ----《The Great Gatsby》
30、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》
