1、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　2、It occurred to me that there was no difference between men, in intelligence or race, so profound as the difference between the sick and the well. ----F. Scott Fitzgerald

　　3、He knew that when he kissed this girl, he would never dream his wild dreams again. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the music of the stars.Then he kissed her. At the touch of his lips, love opened like a flower and his new life was born. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　4、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　5、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　6、By seven o'clock every Saturday night, the orchestra has arrived. The last swimmers have come in from the beach and are dressing upstairs; there are at least five rows of cars from New York parked in front of the house, and already the halls and rooms are full of colorful dresses and the latest, strangest haircuts. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　7、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　8、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　9、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　10、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　11、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! ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　12、'Look!' said Daisy suddenly. Her eyes were on her little finger. We all looked. It was black and blue.'You did it, Tom,' she said accusingly. 'I know you didn't mean to, but you did do it. That's what I get for marrying a great big powerful animal of a man."I hate that word animal,' said Tom crossly, 'even as a joke.' ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　13、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　14、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　15、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　16、There was music from my neighbor'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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　17、She looked away from me and up to the top of the steps. We could hear Three o'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? ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　18、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　19、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　20、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　21、IN THE MORNING, IN THE EVENING, AIN'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'S SURE AND NOTHING'S SURER THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET-CHILDREN. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　22、We shook hands and I started to walk away. A little way down the path, I remembered something and turned around. 'They're a rotten crowd,' I shouted across the lawn. 'You're worth the whole damned lot of them.'?? I've always been glad I said that. It was the only nice thing I ever said to him. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　23、So we beat on,boats against the current.borne back ceaselessly into the past. ----F. Scott Fitzgerald

　　24、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　25、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　26、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.' ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　27、Her frightened eyes told that whatever intentions, whatever determination she had had, were gone forever. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　28、You see, I think everything's terrible anyway. Everybody thinks so. And I know. I've been everywhere and seen everything and done everything. Nothing's new to me!' 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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　29、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald

　　30、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. ----F· Scott Fitzgerald
