Gatsby

But there was a change in Gatsby that was simply confounding.

但是盖茨比身上却发生了一种令人惶惑的变化.

It was indirectly due to Cody that Gatsby drank so little.

盖茨比酒喝得极少,这得间接地归功于科迪.

The suggestion was distasteful to Gatsby.

这个建议不合盖茨比的口胃.

In a well -- fanned Forty - second Street cellar I met Gatsby for lunch.

在 四十二 号街一家电扇大开的地下餐厅里,我跟盖茨比碰头一起吃午饭.

" I know what we'll do,'said Gatsby, " we'll have Klipspringer play the piano. "

“ 我知道我们于什么好了, ” 盖茨比说, “ 我们让克利普斯普林格弹钢琴. ”

In the music - room Gatsby turned on a solitary lamp beside the piano.

在音乐厅里,盖茨比只扭开钢琴旁边的一盏灯.

" Not Gatsby, " I said shortly.

“ 盖茨比可不是. ” 我简慢地说.

" You two start on home, Daisy,'said Tom. " In Mr. Gatsby's car. "

“ 你们两人动身回家, 黛西, ” 汤姆说, “ 坐盖茨比先生的车子. ”

Gatsby walked over and stood beside her.

盖茨比走过来站在她身边.

" I'm going to drain the pool to - day, Mr. Gatsby.

“ 我今天准备把游泳池的水放掉, 盖茨比先生.

That unfamiliar yet recognizable look was back again in Gatsby's face.

那种不熟悉可是认得出的表情又在盖茨比的脸上出现了.

" Don't do it to - day, " Gatsby answered.

“ 今天不要搞. ” 盖茨比回答.

Gatsby's foot beat a short , restless tattoo and Tom eyed him suddenly.

盖茨比的脚不耐烦地连敲了几声, 引起汤姆突然瞧了他一眼.

" I want to know what Mr. Gatsby has to tell me. "

“ 我想知道盖茨比光生有什么话要告诉我. ”

" By the way , Mr. Gatsby, I understand you're an Oxford man. "

“ 说起来, 盖茨比先生, 我听说你是牛津校友. ”
