  1. 3. Is Nick surprised that Daisy hasn't even sent a message or flowers? Are you?

  2. 对于NICK来说他是不会感到惊讶的,我也不会。这样的一个拜金主义至上的人呢怎么可能会这么做,甚至划清界限还来不及。



  1. "Look here, this is a book he had when he was a boy. It just shows you."

    He opened it at the back cover and turned it around for me to see.

    On the last fly-leaf was printed the word SCHEDULE, and the date September 12th, 1906. And underneath:

          

           Rise from bed................ 6.00 A.M.

           Dumbbell exercise and wall-scaling...... 6.15-6.30 "

           Study electricity, etc............ 7.15-8.15 "

           Work..................... 8.30-4.30 P.M.

           Baseball and sports............. 4.30-5.00 "

           Practice elocution, poise and how to attain it 5.00-6.00 "

           Study needed inventions........... 7.00-9.00 "

     

           GENERAL RESOLVES

     

           No wasting time at Shafters or [a name, indecipherable]

           No more smokeing or chewing

           Bath every other day

           Read one improving book or magazine per week

           Save $5.00 [crossed out] $3.00 per week

           Be better to parents

    (我想GATSBY真的是一个一心想要出头的年轻人,很早就对自己要求如此之高。这也不难理解,作为一个出生家庭背景如此的人,难道不想要拼搏一把吗?这就好比现在社会,寒门子弟,总归要为自己的前途拼搏一把的,可是这样的年轻人却并不知道有钱上层社会的是怎么操作和运作的,所以这个社会真残酷啊)



    1. What is Nick’s final feeling about Tom and Daisy?


    NICK对于TOM和DAISY只能说除了鄙视和厌恶,甚至可以说已经无话可说,相当于对于恶人,但是却还理直气壮觉得自己委屈的恶人,旁人是根本无法和这样的人理论了的。对于TOM 和DAISY这样的人,有没有伦理道德,有没有做人的底线都已经无法判断了。


看完整本GATSBY,最后留下长长的一声叹息。。。。

这个社会总归是有恶人的
