重点语句

1. "They're a rotten crowd," I shouted across the lawn. "You're worth the whole damn bunch put together."

“他们是一帮混蛋,”我隔着草坪喊道,“他们那一大帮子都放在一堆还比不上你。”

2. Wilson's glazed eyes turned out to the ashheaps, where small gray clouds took on fantastic shape and scurried here and there in the faint dawn wind.

威尔逊呆滞的眼睛转向外面的灰堆,那上面小朵的灰云呈现出离奇古怪的形状,在黎明的微风中飞来飞去。

3. God knows what you've been doing, everything you've been doing. You may fool me, but you can't fool God!

上帝知道你所做的事,你所做的一切事。你可以骗我,但你骗不了上帝!

4. I have an idea that Gatsby himself didn't believe it would come, and perhaps he no longer cared. 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.

我有一个想法:盖茨比本人并不相信会有电话来的,而且他也许已经无所谓了。如果是这样的话,他一定会觉得他已经失去了那个旧日的温暖的世界,为了抱着一个梦太久而付出了很高的代价。

5. A small gust of wind that scarcely corrugated the surface was enough to disturb its accidental course with its accidental burden. The touch of a cluster of leaves revolved it slowly, tracing, like the leg of compass, a thin red circle in the water.

连水面也吹不皱的一阵微风就足以扰乱它那载着偶然的重负的偶然的航程。一堆落叶使它慢慢旋转,像经纬仪一样,在水上转出一道细细的红色的圈子。
