1、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 Gatsby》

　　2、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 Gatsby》

　　3、When I came home to West Egg that night, I was afraid for a moment that my house was on fire. Two o'clock in the morning, and the whole of the coastline seemed to be in flames. Turning a corner, I saw that it was Gatsby's house, lit from tower to cellar.At first I thought it was another party. ----《The Great Gatsby》

　　4、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 Gatsby》

　　5、From the car window Daisy's face looked out at me, from under a three-cornered hat, with a delighted smile.'Is this absolutely where you live, my dearest one?'Her lovely voice made the gray day feel brighter. I took her hand to help her from the car.'Are you in love with me?' she said low in my ear. ' ----《The Great Gatsby》

　　6、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》

　　7、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 Gatsby》

　　8、Gatsby believed in the green light, the future that year by year moves further away from us. It escaped us then, but that doesn'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》

　　9、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》

　　10、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》

　　11、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》

　　12、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》

　　13、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 Gatsby》

　　14、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 Gatsby》

　　15、We drove over the great bridge, with the sunlight on the moving cars, and the city rising up across the river. New York seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world.' ----《The Great Gatsby》

　　16、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》

　　17、IN THE MEANTIME, IN BETWEEN TIME—As 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 Gatsby》

　　18、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 Gatsby》

　　19、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》

　　20、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 Gatsby》

　　21、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 Gatsby》

　　22、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 Gatsby》

　　23、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》

　　24、And as I lay there, thinking about the old, unknown world, I thought of Gatsby's wonder when he first saw the green light at the end of Daisy'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》

　　25、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》

　　26、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》

　　27、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》

　　28、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't be dreamed – that voice was a deathless song. ----《The Great Gatsby》

　　29、'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 Gatsby》

　　30、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》
