"Who?" he demanded rudely.
查看中文翻译
Only gradually did I become aware that the automobiles which turned expectantly into his drive stayed for just a minute and then drove sulkily away. Wondering if he were sick I went over to find out -- an unfamiliar butler with a villainous face squinted at me suspiciously from the door.
查看中文翻译
"Nope." After a pause he added "sir" in a dilatory, grudging way.
查看中文翻译
It was when curiosity about Gatsby was at its highest that the lights in his house failed to go on one Saturday night -- and, as obscurely as it had begun, his career as Trimalchio was over.
查看中文翻译
"Is Mr. Gatsby sick?"
查看中文翻译
"I hadn't seen him around, and I was rather worried. Tell him Mr. Carraway came over."
查看中文翻译
"Carraway."
查看中文翻译
"Carraway. All right, I'll tell him." Abruptly he slammed the door.
查看中文翻译
My Finn informed me that Gatsby had dismissed every servant in his house a week ago and replaced them with half a dozen others, who never went into West Egg Village to be bribed by the tradesmen, but ordered moderate supplies over the telephone. The grocery boy reported that the kitchen looked like a pigsty, and the general opinion in the village was that the new people weren't servants at all.
查看中文翻译
So the whole caravansary had fallen in like a card house at the disapproval in her eyes.
查看中文翻译
Next day Gatsby called me on the phone.
查看中文翻译
"Going away?" I inquired.
查看中文翻译
"I hear you fired all your servants."
查看中文翻译
"I wanted somebody who wouldn't gossip. Daisy comes over quite often -- in the afternoons."
查看中文翻译
"No, old sport."
查看中文翻译
The next day was broiling, almost the last, certainly the warmest, of the summer. As my train emerged from the tunnel into sunlight, only the hot whistles of the National Biscuit Company broke the simmering hush at noon. The straw seats of the car hovered on the edge of combustion; the woman next to me perspired delicately for a while into her white shirtwaist, and then, as her newspaper dampened under her fingers, lapsed despairingly into deep heat with a desolate cry. Her pocket-books lapped to the floor.
查看中文翻译
"I see."
查看中文翻译
He was calling up at Daisy's request -- would I come to lunch at her house tomorrow? Miss Baker would be there. Half an hour later Daisy herself telephoned and seemed relieved to find that I was coming. Something was up. And yet I couldn't believe that they would choose this occasion for a scene -- especially for the rather harrowing scene that Gatsby had outlined in the garden.
查看中文翻译
"They're some people Wolfshiem wanted to do something for. They're all brothers and sisters. They used to run a small hotel."
查看中文翻译
"Oh, my!" she gasped.
查看中文翻译
I picked it up with a weary bend and handed it back to her, holding it at arm's length and by the extreme tip of the corners to indicate that I had no designs upon it -- but every one near by, including the woman, suspected me just the same.
查看中文翻译
My commutation ticket came back to me with a dark stain from his hand. That any one should care in this heat whose flushed lips he kissed, whose head made damp the pajama pocket over his heart!
查看中文翻译
"The master's body!" roared the butler into the mouthpiece. "I'm sorry, madame, but we can't furnish it -- it's far too hot to touch this noon!"
查看中文翻译
What he really said was: "Yes… yes… I'll see."
查看中文翻译
"Hot!" said the conductor to familiar faces. "Some weather! Hot! Hot! Hot! Is it hot enough for you? Is it hot? Is it…"
查看中文翻译
… Through the hall of the Buchanans' house blew a faint wind, carrying the sound of the telephone bell out to Gatsby and me as we waited at the door.
查看中文翻译
He set down the receiver and came toward us, glistening slightly, to take our stiff straw hats.
查看中文翻译
"Madame expects you in the salon!" he cried, needlessly indicating the direction. In this heat every extra gesture was an affront to the common store of life.
查看中文翻译
"We can't move," they said together.
查看中文翻译
Jordan's fingers, powdered white over their tan, rested for a moment in mine.
查看中文翻译
"And Mr. Thomas Buchanan, the athlete?" I inquired.
查看中文翻译
The room, shadowed well with awnings, was dark and cool. Daisy and Jordan lay upon an enormous couch, like silver idols, weighing down their own white dresses against the singing breeze of the fans.
查看中文翻译
We were silent. The voice in the hall rose high with annoyance."Very well, then, I won't sell you the car at all… I'm under no obligations to you at all… And as for your bothering me about it at lunch time I won't stand that at all!"
查看中文翻译
"The rumor is," whispered Jordan, "that that's Tom's girl on the telephone."
查看中文翻译
Simultaneously I heard his voice, gruff, muffled, husky, at the hall telephone.
查看中文翻译
Gatsby stood in the center of the crimson carpet and gazed around with fascinated eyes. Daisy watched him and laughed, her sweet, exciting laugh; a tiny gust of powder rose from her bosom into the air.
查看中文翻译
"Make us a cold drink," cried Daisy.
查看中文翻译
"You forget there's a lady present," said Jordan.
查看中文翻译
Tom flung open the door, blocked out its space for a moment with his thick body, and hurried into the room.
查看中文翻译
"Bles-sed pre-cious," she crooned, holding out her arms. "Come to your own mother that loves you."
查看中文翻译
"I don't care!" cried Daisy and began to clog on the brick fireplace. Then she remembered the heat and sat down guiltily on the couch just as a freshly laundered nurse leading a little girl came into the room.
查看中文翻译
"You know I love you," she murmured.
查看中文翻译
"No, he's not," I assured her. "It's a bona fide deal. I happen to know about it."
查看中文翻译
"What a low, vulgar girl!"
查看中文翻译
"Holding down the receiver," said Daisy cynically.
查看中文翻译
"You kiss Nick too."
查看中文翻译
As he left the room again she got up and went over to Gatsby and pulled his face down kissing him on the mouth.
查看中文翻译
"Mr. Gatsby!" He put out his broad, flat hand with well-concealed dislike. "I'm glad to see you, sir… Nick…"
查看中文翻译
The child, relinquished by the nurse, rushed across the room and rooted shyly into her mother's dress.
查看中文翻译
Daisy looked around doubtfully.
查看中文翻译
"Goodbye, sweetheart!"
查看中文翻译
With a reluctant backward glance the well-disciplined child held to her nurse's hand and was pulled out the door, just as Tom came back, preceding four gin rickeys that clicked full of ice.
查看中文翻译
Gatsby and I in turn leaned down and took the small reluctant hand. Afterward he kept looking at the child with surprise. I don't think he had ever really believed in its existence before.
查看中文翻译
"She doesn't look like her father," explained Daisy. "She looks like me. She's got my hair and shape of the face."
查看中文翻译
"Come, Pammy."
查看中文翻译
Daisy sat back upon the couch. The nurse took a step forward and held out her hand.
查看中文翻译
"The Bles-sed pre-cious! Did mother get powder on your old yellow hair? Stand up now, and say How-de-do."
查看中文翻译
"How do you like mother's friends?" Daisy turned her around so that she faced Gatsby. "Do you think they're pretty?"
查看中文翻译
"Yes," admitted the child calmly. "Aunt Jordan's got on a white dress too."
查看中文翻译
"That's because your mother wanted to show you off." Her face bent into the single wrinkle of the small white neck. "You dream, you. You absolute little dream."
查看中文翻译
"Where's Daddy?"
查看中文翻译
"I got dressed before luncheon," said the child, turning eagerly to Daisy.
查看中文翻译
"I read somewhere that the sun's getting hotter every year," said Tom genially. "It seems that pretty soon the earth's going to fall into the sun -- or wait a minute -- it's just the opposite -- the sun's getting colder every year.
查看中文翻译
"They certainly look cool," he said, with visible tension.
查看中文翻译
"Come outside," he suggested to Gatsby, "I'd like you to have a look at the place."
查看中文翻译
Gatsby took up his drink.
查看中文翻译
"So you are."
查看中文翻译
Our eyes lifted over the rose beds and the hot lawn and the weedy refuse of the dog days along shore. Slowly the white wings of the boat moved against the blue cool limit of the sky. Ahead lay the scalloped ocean and the abounding blessed isles.
查看中文翻译
We drank in long greedy swallows.
查看中文翻译
"I'm right across from you."
查看中文翻译
I went with them out to the veranda. On the green Sound, stagnant in the heat, one small sail crawled slowly toward the fresher sea. Gatsby's eyes followed it momentarily; he raised his hand and pointed across the bay.
查看中文翻译
"There's sport for you," said Tom, nodding. "I'd like to be out therewith him for about an hour."
查看中文翻译
"What'll we do with ourselves this afternoon," cried Daisy, "and the day after that, and the next thirty years?"
查看中文翻译
Her voice struggled on through the heat, beating against it, moulding its senselessness into forms.
查看中文翻译
"I've heard of making a garage out of a stable," Tom was saying to Gatsby, "but I'm the first man who ever made a stable out of a garage."
查看中文翻译
We had luncheon in the dining-room, darkened, too, against the heat, and drank down nervous gayety with the cold ale.
查看中文翻译
Their eyes met, and they stared together at each other, alone in space. With an effort she glanced down at the table.
查看中文翻译
"You always look so cool," she repeated.
查看中文翻译
"Don't be morbid," Jordan said. "Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."
查看中文翻译
"Who wants to go to town?" demanded Daisy insistently. Gatsby's eyes floated toward her. "Ah," she cried, "you look so cool."
查看中文翻译
She had told him that she loved him, and Tom Buchanan saw. He was astounded. His mouth opened a little and he looked at Gatsby and then back at Daisy as if he had just recognized her as some one he knew along time ago.
查看中文翻译
"But it's so hot," insisted Daisy, on the verge of tears, "And everything's so confused. Let's all go to town!"
查看中文翻译
"Come on!" His temper cracked a little. "What's the matter, anyhow? If we're going to town let's start."
查看中文翻译
"You resemble the advertisement of the man," she went on innocently."You know the advertisement of the man --"
查看中文翻译
He got up, his eyes still flashing between Gatsby and his wife. No one moved.
查看中文翻译
His hand, trembling with his effort at self control, bore to his lips the last of his glass of ale. Daisy's voice got us to our feet and out onto the blazing gravel drive.
查看中文翻译
"All right," broke in Tom quickly, "I'm perfectly willing to go to town. Come on -- we're all going to town."
查看中文翻译
"Oh, let's have fun," she begged him. "It's too hot to fuss."
查看中文翻译
They went upstairs to get ready while we three men stood there shuffling the hot pebbles with our feet. A silver curve of the moon hovered already in the western sky. Gatsby started to speak, changed his mind, but not before Tom wheeled and faced him expectantly.
查看中文翻译
"Have it your own way," she said. "Come on, Jordan."
查看中文翻译
"Are we just going to go?" she objected. "Like this? Aren't we going to let any one smoke a cigarette first?"
查看中文翻译
"Everybody smoked all through lunch."
查看中文翻译
He didn't answer.
查看中文翻译
"Have you got your stables here?" asked Gatsby with an effort.
查看中文翻译
That was it. I'd never understood before. It was full of money -- that was the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it, the jingle of it, the cymbals' song of it… High in a white palace the king's daughter, the golden girl…
查看中文翻译
"Her voice is full of money," he said suddenly.
查看中文翻译
"I can't say anything in his house, old sport."
查看中文翻译
"I'll get some whiskey," answered Tom. He went inside.
查看中文翻译
"Shall we all go in my car?" suggested Gatsby. He felt the hot, green leather of the seat. "I ought to have left it in the shade."
查看中文翻译
"I don't see the idea of going to town," broke out Tom savagely."Women get these notions in their heads --"
查看中文翻译
"Shall we take anything to drink?" called Daisy from an upper window.
查看中文翻译
"About a quarter of a mile down the road."
查看中文翻译
A pause.
查看中文翻译
"Oh."
查看中文翻译
Tom came out of the house wrapping a quart bottle in a towel, followed by Daisy and Jordan wearing small tight hats of metallic cloth and carrying light capes over their arms.
查看中文翻译
Gatsby turned to me rigidly:
查看中文翻译
"She's got an indiscreet voice," I remarked. "It's full of --" I hesitated.
查看中文翻译
He opened the door but she moved out from the circle of his arm.
查看中文翻译
"Is it standard shift?" demanded Tom.
查看中文翻译
"I don't think there's much gas," he objected.
查看中文翻译
She walked close to Gatsby, touching his coat with her hand. Jordan and Tom and I got into the front seat of Gatsby's car, Tom pushed the unfamiliar gears tentatively and we shot off into the oppressive heat leaving them out of sight behind.
查看中文翻译
The suggestion was distasteful to Gatsby.
查看中文翻译
"You take Nick and Jordan. We'll follow you in the coupe."
查看中文翻译
"Yes."
查看中文翻译
"Come on, Daisy," said Tom, pressing her with his hand toward Gatsby'scar. "I'll take you in this circus wagon."
查看中文翻译
A pause followed this apparently pointless remark. Daisy looked at Tom frowning and an indefinable expression, at once definitely unfamiliar and vaguely recognizable, as if I had only heard it described in words, passed over Gatsby's face.
查看中文翻译
"Well, you take my coupe and let me drive your car to town."
查看中文翻译
"Plenty of gas," said Tom boisterously. He looked at the gauge."And if it runs out I can stop at a drug store. You can buy anything at a drug store nowadays."
查看中文翻译
"And you found he was an Oxford man," said Jordan helpfully.
查看中文翻译
"Did you see that?" demanded Tom.
查看中文翻译
"You think I'm pretty dumb, don't you?" he suggested. "Perhaps I am, but I have a -- almost a second sight, sometimes, that tells me what to do. Maybe you don't believe that, but science --"
查看中文翻译
"I've made a small investigation of this fellow," he continued. "I could have gone deeper if I'd known --"
查看中文翻译
"Nevertheless he's an Oxford man."
查看中文翻译
"See what?"
查看中文翻译
"About Gatsby! No, I haven't. I said I'd been making a small investigation of his past."
查看中文翻译
"About Gatsby."
查看中文翻译
"Oxford, New Mexico," snorted Tom contemptuously, "or something like that."
查看中文翻译
"Do you mean you've been to a medium?" inquired Jordan humorously.
查看中文翻译
"An Oxford man!" He was incredulous. "Like hell he is! He wears a pink suit."
查看中文翻译
He paused. The immediate contingency overtook him, pulled him back from the edge of the theoretical abyss.
查看中文翻译
"What?" Confused, he stared at us as we laughed. "A medium?"
查看中文翻译
He looked at me keenly, realizing that Jordan and I must have known all along.
查看中文翻译
Tom threw on both brakes impatiently and we slid to an abrupt dusty stop under Wilson's sign. After a moment the proprietor emerged from the interior of his establishment and gazed hollow-eyed at the car.
查看中文翻译
We were all irritable now with the fading ale and, aware of it, we drove for a while in silence. Then as Doctor T. J. Eckleburg's faded eyes came into sight down the road, I remembered Gatsby's caution about gasoline.
查看中文翻译
"Let's have some gas!" cried Tom roughly. "What do you think we stopped for -- to admire the view?"
查看中文翻译
"What's the matter?"
查看中文翻译
"We've got enough to get us to town," said Tom.
查看中文翻译
"Listen, Tom. If you're such a snob, why did you invite him to lunch?"demanded Jordan crossly.
查看中文翻译
"I'm sick," said Wilson without moving. "I been sick all day."
查看中文翻译
"Well, shall I help myself?" Tom demanded. "You sounded well enough on the phone."
查看中文翻译
"Daisy invited him; she knew him before we were married -- God knows where!"
查看中文翻译
"But there's a garage right here," objected Jordan. "I don't want to get stalled in this baking heat."
查看中文翻译
"I'm all run down."
查看中文翻译
"What do I owe you?" demanded Tom harshly.
查看中文翻译
With an effort Wilson left the shade and support of the doorway and, breathing hard, unscrewed the cap of the tank. In the sunlight his face was green.
查看中文翻译
"She's been talking about it for ten years." He rested for a moment against the pump, shading his eyes. "And now she's going whether she wants to or not. I'm going to get her away."
查看中文翻译
"Like to buy it?"
查看中文翻译
"What do you want money for, all of a sudden?"
查看中文翻译
"I didn't mean to interrupt your lunch," he said. "But I need money pretty bad and I was wondering what you were going to do with your old car."
查看中文翻译
"I've been here too long. I want to get away. My wife and I want to go west."
查看中文翻译
"Your wife does!" exclaimed Tom, startled.
查看中文翻译
The coupe flashed by us with a flurry of dust and the flash of a waving hand.
查看中文翻译
"It's a nice yellow one," said Wilson, as he strained at the handle.
查看中文翻译
"How do you like this one?" inquired Tom. "I bought it last week."
查看中文翻译
"Big chance," Wilson smiled faintly. "No, but I could make some money on the other."
查看中文翻译
"I just got wised up to something funny the last two days," remarked Wilson. "That's why I want to get away. That's why I been bothering you about the car."
查看中文翻译
"I'll let you have that car," said Tom. "I'll send it over tomorrow afternoon."
查看中文翻译
"Dollar twenty."
查看中文翻译
The relentless beating heat was beginning to confuse me and I had a bad moment there before I realized that so far his suspicions hadn't alighted on Tom. He had discovered that Myrtle had some sort of life apart from him in another world and the shock had made him physically sick. I stared at him and then at Tom, who had madea parallel discovery less than an hour before -- and 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. Wilson was so sick that he looked guilty, unforgivably guilty -- as if he had just got some poor girl with child.
查看中文翻译
"What do I owe you?"
查看中文翻译
That locality was always vaguely disquieting, even in the broad glare of afternoon, and now I turned my head as though I had been warned of something behind. Over the ash heaps the giant eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg kept their vigil but I perceived, after a moment, that other eyes were regarding us with peculiar intensity from less than twenty feet away.
查看中文翻译
In one of the windows over the garage the curtains had been moved aside a little and Myrtle Wilson was peering down at the car. So engrossed was she that she had no consciousness of being observed and one emotion after another crept into her face like objects into a slowly developing picture. Her expression was curiously familiar -- it was an expression I had often seen on women's faces but on Myrtle Wilson's face it seemed purposeless and inexplicable until I realized that her eyes, wide with jealous terror, were fixed not on Tom, but on Jordan Baker, whom she took to be his wife.
查看中文翻译
There is no confusion like the confusion of a simple mind, and as we drove away Tom was feeling the hot whips of panic. His wife and his mistress, until an hour ago secure and inviolate, were slipping precipitately from his control. Instinct made him step on the accelerator with the double purpose of overtaking Daisy and leaving Wilson behind, and we sped along toward Astoria at fifty miles an hour, until, among the spidery girders of the elevated, we came in sight of the easygoing blue coupe.
查看中文翻译
"Those big movies around Fiftieth Street are cool," suggested Jordan."I love New York on summer afternoons when every one's away. There's something very sensuous about it -- overripe, as if all sorts of funny fruits were going to fall into your hands."
查看中文翻译
"Where are we going?" she cried.
查看中文翻译
The word "sensuous" had the effect of further disquieting Tom but before he could invent a protest the coupe came to a stop and Daisy signalled us to draw up alongside.
查看中文翻译
"It's so hot," she complained. "You go. We'll ride around and meet you after." With an effort her wit rose faintly, "We'll meet you on some corner. I'll be the man smoking two cigarettes."
查看中文翻译
"How about the movies?"
查看中文翻译
"We can't argue about it here," Tom said impatiently as a truck gave out a cursing whistle behind us. "You follow me to the south side of Central Park, in front of the Plaza."
查看中文翻译
Several times he turned his head and looked back for their car, and if the traffic delayed them he slowed up until they came into sight. I think he was afraid they would dart down a side street and out of his life forever.
查看中文翻译
The prolonged and tumultuous argument that ended by herding us into that room eludes me, though I have a sharp physical memory that, in the course of it, my underwear kept climbing like a damp snake around my legs and intermittent beads of sweat raced cool across my back. The notion originated with Daisy's suggestion that we hire five bathrooms and take cold baths, and then assumed more tangible form as "a place to have a mint julep." Each of us said over and over that it was a "crazy idea" -- we all talked at once to a baffled clerk and thought, or pretended to think, that we were being very funny…
查看中文翻译
But they didn't. And we all took the less explicable step of engaging the parlor of a suite in the Plaza Hotel.
查看中文翻译
"It's a swell suite," whispered Jordan respectfully and every one laughed.
查看中文翻译
The room was large and stifling, and, though it was already four o'clock, opening the windows admitted only a gust of hot shrubbery from the Park. Daisy went to the mirror and stood with her back to us, fixing her hair.
查看中文翻译
"Open another window," commanded Daisy, without turning around.
查看中文翻译
"The thing to do is to forget about the heat," said Tom impatiently."You make it ten times worse by crabbing about it."
查看中文翻译
As Tom took up the receiver the compressed heat exploded into sound and we were listening to the portentous chords of Mendelssohn's Wedding March from the ballroom below.
查看中文翻译
"Now see here, Tom," said Daisy, turning around from the mirror, "if you're going to make personal remarks I won't stay here a minute. Call up and order some ice for the mint julep."
查看中文翻译
He unrolled the bottle of whiskey from the towel and put it on the table.
查看中文翻译
"Why not let her alone, old sport?" remarked Gatsby. "You're the one that wanted to come to town."
查看中文翻译
"All this 'old sport' business. Where'd you pick that up?"
查看中文翻译
"There aren't any more."
查看中文翻译
"What is?"
查看中文翻译
"That's a great expression of yours, isn't it?" said Tom sharply.
查看中文翻译
"Well, we'd better telephone for an axe --"
查看中文翻译
"I'll pick it up," I offered.
查看中文翻译
"I've got it." Gatsby examined the parted string, muttered "Hum!" in an interested way, and tossed the book on a chair.
查看中文翻译
There was a moment of silence. The telephone book slipped from its nail and splashed to the floor, whereupon Jordan whispered "Excuse me" -- but this time no one laughed.
查看中文翻译
"Still -- I was married in the middle of June," Daisy remembered,"Louisville in June! Somebody fainted. Who was it fainted, Tom?"
查看中文翻译
"Imagine marrying anybody in this heat!" cried Jordan dismally.
查看中文翻译
"They carried him into my house," appended Jordan, "because we lived just two doors from the church. And he stayed three weeks, until Daddy told him he had to get out. The day after he left Daddy died." After a moment she added as if she might have sounded irreverent, "There wasn't any connection."
查看中文翻译
"Biloxi," he answered shortly.
查看中文翻译
"I used to know a Bill Biloxi from Memphis," I remarked.
查看中文翻译
"A man named Biloxi. 'Blocks' Biloxi, and he made boxes -- that's a fact -- and he was from Biloxi, Tennessee."
查看中文翻译
"That was his cousin. I knew his whole family history before he left. He gave me an aluminum putter that I use today."
查看中文翻译
"We're getting old," said Daisy. "If we were young we'd rise and dance."
查看中文翻译
The music had died down as the ceremony began and now a long cheer floated in at the window, followed by intermittent cries of "Yea -- ea -- ea!"and finally by a burst of jazz as the dancing began.
查看中文翻译
Another pause. A waiter knocked and came in with crushed mint and ice but the silence was unbroken by his "Thank you" and the soft closing of the door. This tremendous detail was to be cleared up at last.
查看中文翻译
"You must have gone there about the time Biloxi went to New Haven."
查看中文翻译
A pause. Then Tom's voice, incredulous and insulting:
查看中文翻译
"Well, he said he knew you. He said he was raised in Louisville. Asa Bird brought him around at the last minute and asked if we had room for him." Jordan smiled.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, yes, I understand you went to Oxford."
查看中文翻译
"Not exactly."
查看中文翻译
"By the way, Mr. Gatsby, I understand you're an Oxford man."
查看中文翻译
Gatsby's foot beat a short, restless tattoo and Tom eyed him suddenly.
查看中文翻译
"First place, we didn't have any president --"
查看中文翻译
"He was probably bumming his way home. He told me he was president of your class at Yale."
查看中文翻译
"Biloxi?" He concentrated with an effort. "I didn't know him. He was a friend of Daisy's."
查看中文翻译
"Biloxi?"
查看中文翻译
Tom and I looked at each other blankly.
查看中文翻译
"Yes -- I went there."
查看中文翻译
"Remember Biloxi," Jordan warned her. "Where'd you know him, Tom?"
查看中文翻译
"He was not," she denied. "I'd never seen him before. He came down in the private car."
查看中文翻译
"I told you I went there," said Gatsby.
查看中文翻译
"It was an opportunity they gave to some of the officers after the Armistice," he continued. "We could go to any of the universities in England or France."
查看中文翻译
"Open the whiskey, Tom," she ordered. "And I'll make you a mint julep. Then you won't seem so stupid to yourself… Look at the mint!"
查看中文翻译
"I heard you, but I'd like to know when."
查看中文翻译
"What kind of a row are you trying to cause in my house anyhow?"
查看中文翻译
Tom glanced around to see if we mirrored his unbelief. But we were all looking at Gatsby.
查看中文翻译
I wanted to get up and slap him on the back. I had one of those renewals of complete faith in him that I'd experienced before.
查看中文翻译
"Wait a minute," snapped Tom, "I want to ask Mr. Gatsby one more question."
查看中文翻译
Daisy rose, smiling faintly, and went to the table.
查看中文翻译
They were out in the open at last and Gatsby was content.
查看中文翻译
"It was in nineteen-nineteen, I only stayed five months. That's why I can't really call myself an Oxford man."
查看中文翻译
"He isn't causing a row." Daisy looked desperately from one to the other. "You're causing a row. Please have a little self control."
查看中文翻译
"Go on," Gatsby said politely.
查看中文翻译
Flushed with his impassioned gibberish he saw himself standing alone on the last barrier of civilization.
查看中文翻译
"Self control!" repeated Tom incredulously. "I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife. Well, if that's the idea you can count me out… Nowadays people begin by sneering at family life and family institutions and next they'll throw everything overboard and have intermarriage between black and white."
查看中文翻译
Angry as I was, as we all were, I was tempted to laugh whenever he opened his mouth. The transition from libertine to prig was so complete.
查看中文翻译
"We're all white here," murmured Jordan.
查看中文翻译
"That's a good idea." I got up. "Come on, Tom. Nobody wants a drink."
查看中文翻译
"I know I'm not very popular. I don't give big parties. I suppose you've got to make your house into a pigsty in order to have any friends -- in the modern world."
查看中文翻译
"I've got something to tell YOU, old sport, --" began Gatsby. But Daisy guessed at his intention.
查看中文翻译
"Please don't!" she interrupted helplessly. "Please let's all go home. Why don't we all go home?"
查看中文翻译
"You must be crazy!" exclaimed Tom automatically.
查看中文翻译
"Not seeing," said Gatsby. "No, we couldn't meet. But both of us loved each other all that time, old sport, and you didn't know. I used to laugh sometimes --" but there was no laughter in his eyes, "to think that you didn't know."
查看中文翻译
Gatsby sprang to his feet, vivid with excitement.
查看中文翻译
"Your wife doesn't love you," said Gatsby. "She's never loved you. She loves me."
查看中文翻译
"She never loved you, do you hear?" he cried. "She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart she never loved any one except me!"
查看中文翻译
"I want to know what Mr. Gatsby has to tell me."
查看中文翻译
"I told you what's been going on," said Gatsby. "Going on for five years -- and you didn't know."
查看中文翻译
At this point Jordan and I tried to go but Tom and Gatsby insisted with competitive firmness that we remain -- as though neither of them had anything to conceal and it would be a privilege to partake vicariously of their emotions.
查看中文翻译
"Sit down Daisy." Tom's voice groped unsuccessfully for the paternal note. "What's been going on? I want to hear all about it."
查看中文翻译
Tom turned to Daisy sharply.
查看中文翻译
"You've been seeing this fellow for five years?"

"You're crazy!" he exploded. "I can't speak about what happened five years ago, because I didn't know Daisy then -- and I'll be damned if I see how you got within a mile of her unless you brought the groceries to the backdoor. But all the rest of that's a God Damned lie. Daisy loved me when she married me and she loves me now."
查看中文翻译
"Oh -- that's all." Tom tapped his thick fingers together like a clergyman and leaned back in his chair.
查看中文翻译
"She does, though. The trouble is that sometimes she gets foolish ideas in her head and doesn't know what she's doing." He nodded sagely. "And what's more, I love Daisy too. Once in a while I go off on a spree and make a fool of myself, but I always come back, and in my heart I love her all the time."
查看中文翻译
Gatsby walked over and stood beside her.
查看中文翻译
"No," said Gatsby, shaking his head.
查看中文翻译
"You're revolting," said Daisy. She turned to me, and her voice, dropping an octave lower, filled the room with thrilling scorn: "Do you know why we left Chicago? I'm surprised that they didn't treat you to the story of that little spree."
查看中文翻译
"Daisy, that's all over now," he said earnestly. "It doesn't matter anymore. Just tell him the truth -- that you never loved him -- and it's all wiped out forever."
查看中文翻译
"I never loved him," she said, with perceptible reluctance.
查看中文翻译
"You never loved him."
查看中文翻译
She hesitated. Her eyes fell on Jordan and me with a sort of appeal, as though she realized at last what she was doing -- and as though she had never, all along, intended doing anything at all. But it was done now. It was too late.
查看中文翻译
"No."
查看中文翻译
She looked at him blindly. "Why, -- how could I love him -- possibly?"
查看中文翻译
"Not at Kapiolani?" demanded Tom suddenly.
查看中文翻译
From the ballroom beneath, muffled and suffocating chords were drifting upon hot waves of air.
查看中文翻译
"Please don't." Her voice was cold, but the rancour was gone from it. She looked at Gatsby. "There, Jay," she said -- but her hand as she tried to light a cigarette was trembling. Suddenly she threw the cigarette and the burning match on the carpet.
查看中文翻译
"Not that day I carried you down from the Punch Bowl to keep your shoes dry?" There was a husky tenderness in his tone. "… Daisy?"
查看中文翻译
"You loved me too?" he repeated.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, you want too much!" she cried to Gatsby. "I love you now -- isn't that enough? I can't help what's past." She began to sob helplessly."I did love him once -- but I loved you too."
查看中文翻译
"Of course it wouldn't," agreed Tom.
查看中文翻译
The words seemed to bite physically into Gatsby.
查看中文翻译
"I'm not?" Tom opened his eyes wide and laughed. He could afford to control himself now. "Why's that?"
查看中文翻译
Gatsby's eyes opened and closed.
查看中文翻译
"Even that's a lie," said Tom savagely. "She didn't know you were alive. Why, -- there're things between Daisy and me that you'll never know, things that neither of us can ever forget."
查看中文翻译
"I want to speak to Daisy alone," he insisted. "She's all excited now --"
查看中文翻译
She turned to her husband.
查看中文翻译
"Of course it matters. I'm going to take better care of you from now on."
查看中文翻译
"Even alone I can't say I never loved Tom," she admitted in a pitiful voice. "It wouldn't be true."
查看中文翻译
"You don't understand," said Gatsby, with a touch of panic. "You're not going to take care of her any more."
查看中文翻译
"As if it mattered to you," she said.
查看中文翻译
"Daisy's leaving you."
查看中文翻译
"Nonsense."
查看中文翻译
"Who are you, anyhow?" broke out Tom. "You're one of that bunch that hangs around with Meyer Wolfshiem -- that much I happen to know. I've made a little investigation into your affairs -- and I'll carry it further tomorrow."
查看中文翻译
"I am, though," she said with a visible effort.
查看中文翻译
"You can suit yourself about that, old sport." said Gatsby steadily.
查看中文翻译
"I found out what your 'drug stores' were." He turned to us and spoke rapidly. "He and this Wolfshiem bought up a lot of side-street drug stores here and in Chicago and sold grain alcohol over the counter. That's one of his little stunts. I picked him for a bootlegger the first time I saw him and I wasn't far wrong."
查看中文翻译
"I won't stand this!" cried Daisy. "Oh, please let's get out."
查看中文翻译
"She's not leaving me!" Tom's words suddenly leaned down over Gatsby."Certainly not for a common swindler who'd have to steal the ring he put on her finger."
查看中文翻译
"What about it?" said Gatsby politely. "I guess your friend Walter Chase wasn't too proud to come in on it."
查看中文翻译
"That drug store business was just small change," continued Tom slowly,"but you've got something on now that Walter's afraid to tell me about."
查看中文翻译
"He came to us dead broke. He was very glad to pick up some money, old sport."
查看中文翻译
"Don't you call me 'old sport'!" cried Tom. Gatsby said nothing."Walter could have you up on the betting laws too, but Wolfshiem scared him into shutting his mouth."
查看中文翻译
"And you left him in the lurch, didn't you? You let him go to jail fora month over in New Jersey. God! You ought to hear Walter on the subject of YOU."
查看中文翻译
That unfamiliar yet recognizable look was back again in Gatsby's face.
查看中文翻译
I glanced at Daisy who was staring terrified between Gatsby and her husband and at Jordan who had begun to balance an invisible but absorbing object on the tip of her chin. Then I turned back to Gatsby -- and was startled at his expression. He looked -- and this is said in all contempt for the babbled slander of his garden -- as if he had'killed a man." For a moment the set of his face could be described in just that fantastic way.
查看中文翻译
It passed, and he began to talk excitedly to Daisy, denying everything, defending his name against accusations that had not been made. But with every word she was drawing further and further into herself, so he gave that up and only the dead dream fought on as the afternoon slipped away, trying to touch what was no longer tangible, struggling unhappily, undespairingly, toward that lost voice across the room.
查看中文翻译
"PLEASE, Tom! I can't stand this any more."
查看中文翻译
The voice begged again to go.
查看中文翻译
They were gone, without a word, snapped out, made accidental, isolated, like ghosts even from our pity.
查看中文翻译
"You two start on home, Daisy," said Tom. "In Mr. Gatsby's car."
查看中文翻译
Her frightened eyes told that whatever intentions, whatever courage she had had, were definitely gone.
查看中文翻译
"Go on. He won't annoy you. I think he realizes that his presumptuous little flirtation is over."
查看中文翻译
After a moment Tom got up and began wrapping the unopened bottle of whiskey in the towel.
查看中文翻译
She looked at Tom, alarmed now, but he insisted with magnanimous scorn.
查看中文翻译
I didn't answer.
查看中文翻译
"What?"
查看中文翻译
"Want any of this stuff? Jordan?… Nick?"
查看中文翻译
"No… I just remembered that today's my birthday."
查看中文翻译
I was thirty. Before me stretched the portentous menacing road of anew decade.
查看中文翻译
"Want any?"
查看中文翻译
"Nick?" He asked again.
查看中文翻译
It was seven o'clock when we got into the coupe with him and started for Long Island. Tom talked incessantly, exulting and laughing, but his voice was as remote from Jordan and me as the foreign clamor on the sidewalk or the tumult of the elevated overhead. Human sympathy has its limits and we were content to let all their tragic arguments fade with the city lights behind. Thirty -- the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair. But there was Jordan beside me who, unlike Daisy, was too wise ever to carry well-forgotten dreams from age to age. As we passed over the dark bridge her wan face fell lazily against my coat's shoulder and the formidable stroke of thirty died away with the reassuring pressure of her hand.
查看中文翻译
So we drove on toward death through the cooling twilight.
查看中文翻译
The young Greek, Michaelis, who ran the coffee joint beside the ashheaps was the principal witness at the inquest. He had slept through the heat until after five, when he strolled over to the garage and found George Wilson sick in his office -- really sick, pale as his own pale hair and shaking all over. Michaelis advised him to go to bed but Wilson refused, saying that he'd miss a lot of business if he did. While his neighbor was trying to persuade him a violent racket broke out overhead.
查看中文翻译
"I've got my wife locked in up there," explained Wilson calmly."She's going to stay there till the day after tomorrow and then we're going to move away."
查看中文翻译
Michaelis was astonished; they had been neighbors for four years and Wilson had never seemed faintly capable of such a statement. Generally he was one of these worn-out men: when he wasn't working he sat on a chair in the doorway and stared at the people and the cars that passed along the road. When any one spoke to him he invariably laughed in an agreeable, colorless way. He was his wife's man and not his own.
查看中文翻译
So naturally Michaelis tried to find out what had happened, but Wilson wouldn't say a word -- instead he began to throw curious, suspicious glances at his visitor and ask him what he'd been doing at certain times on certain days. Just as the latter was getting uneasy some workmen came past the door bound for his restaurant and Michaelis took the opportunity to get away, intending to come back later. But he didn't. He supposed he forgot to, that's all. When he came outside again a little after seven he was reminded of the conversation because he heard Mrs. Wilson's voice, loud and scolding, downstairs in the garage.
查看中文翻译
"Beat me!" he heard her cry. "Throw me down and beat me, you dirty little coward!"
查看中文翻译
A moment later she rushed out into the dusk, waving her hands and shouting; before he could move from his door the business was over.
查看中文翻译
The "death car" as the newspapers called it, didn't stop; it came out of the gathering darkness, wavered tragically for a moment and then disappeared around the next bend. Michaelis wasn't even sure of its color -- he told the first policeman that it was light green. The other car, the one going toward New York, came to rest a hundred yards beyond, and its driver hurried back to where Myrtle Wilson, her life violently extinguished, knelt in the road and mingled her thick, dark blood with the dust.
查看中文翻译
Michaelis and this man reached her first but when they had torn open her shirtwaist still damp with perspiration, they saw that her left breast was swinging loose like a flap and there was no need to listen for the heart beneath. The mouth was wide open and ripped at the corners as though she had choked a little in giving up the tremendous vitality she had stored so long.
查看中文翻译
We saw the three or four automobiles and the crowd when we were still some distance away.
查看中文翻译
"We'll take a look," he said doubtfully, "just a look."
查看中文翻译
"Wreck!" said Tom. "That's good. Wilson'll have a little business at last."
查看中文翻译
I became aware now of a hollow, wailing sound which issued incessantly from the garage, a sound which as we got out of the coupe and walked toward the door resolved itself into the words "Oh, my God!" uttered over and over in a gasping moan.
查看中文翻译
He slowed down, but still without any intention of stopping until, as we came nearer, the hushed intent faces of the people at the garage door made him automatically put on the brakes.
查看中文翻译
Myrtle Wilson's body wrapped in a blanket and then in another blanket as though she suffered from a chill in the hot night lay on a work table by the wall and Tom, with his back to us, was bending over it, motionless. Next to him stood a motorcycle policeman taking down names with much sweat and correction in a little book. At first I couldn't find the source of the high, groaning words that echoed clamorously through the bare garage -- then I saw Wilson standing on the raised threshold of his office, swaying back and forth and holding to the doorposts with both hands. Some man was talking to him in a low voice and attempting from time to time to lay a hand on his shoulder, but Wilson neither heard nor saw. His eyes would drop slowly from the swinging light to the laden table by the wall and then jerk back to the light again and he gave out incessantly his high horrible call.
查看中文翻译
He reached up on tiptoes and peered over a circle of heads into the garage which was lit only by a yellow light in a swinging wire basket overhead. Then he made a harsh sound in his throat and with a violent thrusting movement of his powerful arms pushed his way through.
查看中文翻译
The circle closed up again with a running murmur of expostulation; it was a minute before I could see anything at all. Then new arrivals disarranged the line and Jordan and I were pushed suddenly inside.
查看中文翻译
"There's some bad trouble here," said Tom excitedly.
查看中文翻译
"No, -- r --" corrected the man, 'M-a-v-r-o --"
查看中文翻译
"What happened -- that's what I want to know!"
查看中文翻译
"g --"
查看中文翻译
'M-a-v --" the policeman was saying, " -- o --"
查看中文翻译
"Listen to me!" muttered Tom fiercely.
查看中文翻译
"g --" He looked up as Tom's broad hand fell sharply on his shoulder."What you want, fella?"
查看中文翻译
"One goin' each way. Well, she --" His hand rose toward the blankets but stopped half way and fell to his side, " -- she ran out there an' the one comin' from N'York knock right into her goin' thirty or forty miles an hour."
查看中文翻译
"O, my Ga-od! O, my Ga-od! Oh, Ga-od! Oh, my Ga-od!"
查看中文翻译
Presently Tom lifted his head with a jerk and after staring around the garage with glazed eyes addressed a mumbled incoherent remark to the policeman.
查看中文翻译
"Instantly killed," repeated Tom, staring.
查看中文翻译
"Auto hit her. Ins'antly killed."
查看中文翻译
"There was two cars," said Michaelis, "one comin', one goin', see?"
查看中文翻译
"Going where?" asked the policeman keenly.
查看中文翻译
"r --" said the policeman, "o --"
查看中文翻译
"She ran out in a road. Son-of-a-bitch didn't even stop us car."
查看中文翻译
"What's the name of this place here?" demanded the officer.
查看中文翻译
Watching Tom I saw the wad of muscle back of his shoulder tighten under his coat. He walked quickly over to Wilson and standing in front of him seized him firmly by the upper arms.
查看中文翻译
"No, but the car passed me down the road, going faster'n forty. Going fifty, sixty."
查看中文翻译
Wilson's eyes fell upon Tom; he started up on his tiptoes and then would have collapsed to his knees had not Tom held him upright.
查看中文翻译
"See the accident?" asked the policeman.
查看中文翻译
Some words of this conversation must have reached Wilson swaying in the office door, for suddenly a new theme found voice among his gasping cries.
查看中文翻译
"Come here and let's have your name. Look out now. I want to get his name."
查看中文翻译
A pale, well-dressed Negro stepped near.
查看中文翻译
"You don't have to tell me what kind of car it was! I know what kind of car it was!"
查看中文翻译
"You've got to pull yourself together," he said with soothing gruffness.
查看中文翻译
"Hasn't got any name."
查看中文翻译
"It was a yellow car," he said, "big yellow car. New."
查看中文翻译
"Listen," said Tom, shaking him a little. "I just got here a minute ago, from New York. I was bringing you that coupe we've been talking about. That yellow car I was driving this afternoon wasn't mine, do you hear? I haven't seen it all afternoon."
查看中文翻译
"It's a blue car, a coupe."
查看中文翻译
"I'm a friend of his." Tom turned his head but kept his hands firm on Wilson's body. "He says he knows the car that did it… It was a yellow car."
查看中文翻译
"Now, if you'll let me have that name again correct --"
查看中文翻译
Picking up Wilson like a doll Tom carried him into the office, set him down in a chair and came back.
查看中文翻译
Some one who had been driving a little behind us confirmed this and the policeman turned away.
查看中文翻译
"What's all that?" he demanded.
查看中文翻译
Only the Negro and I were near enough to hear what he said but the policeman caught something in the tone and looked over with truculent eyes.
查看中文翻译
"And what color's your car?"
查看中文翻译
"If somebody'll come here and sit with him!" he snapped authoritatively. He watched while the two men standing closest glanced at each other and went unwillingly into the room. Then Tom shut the door on them and came down the single step, his eyes avoiding the table. As he passed close to me he whispered "Let's get out."
查看中文翻译
"We've come straight from New York," I said.
查看中文翻译
Some dim impulse moved the policeman to look suspiciously at Tom.
查看中文翻译
Tom drove slowly until we were beyond the bend -- then his foot came down hard and the coupe raced along through the night. In a little while I heard a low husky sob and saw that the tears were overflowing down his face.
查看中文翻译
Self consciously, with his authoritative arms breaking the way, we pushed through the still gathering crowd, passing a hurried doctor, case in hand, who had been sent for in wild hope half an hour ago.
查看中文翻译
"I ought to have dropped you in West Egg, Nick. There's nothing we can do tonight."
查看中文翻译
The Buchanans' house floated suddenly toward us through the dark rustling trees. Tom stopped beside the porch and looked up at the second floor where two windows bloomed with light among the vines.
查看中文翻译
A change had come over him and he spoke gravely, and with decision. As we walked across the moonlight gravel to the porch he disposed of the situation in a few brisk phrases.
查看中文翻译
"Daisy's home," he said. As we got out of the car he glanced at me and frowned slightly.
查看中文翻译
"The God Damn coward!" he whimpered. "He didn't even stop his car."
查看中文翻译
"No thanks. But I'd be glad if you'd order me the taxi. I'll wait outside."
查看中文翻译
"I'll telephone for a taxi to take you home, and while you're waiting you and Jordan better go in the kitchen and have them get you some supper -- if you want any." He opened the door. "Come in."
查看中文翻译
Jordan put her hand on my arm.
查看中文翻译
"Won't you come in, Nick?"
查看中文翻译
I was feeling a little sick and I wanted to be alone. But Jordan lingered for a moment more.
查看中文翻译
I'd be damned if I'd go in; I'd had enough of all of them for one day and suddenly that included Jordan too. She must have seen something of this in my expression for she turned abruptly away and ran up the porch steps into the house. I sat down for a few minutes with my head in my hands, until I heard the phone taken up inside and the butler's voice calling a taxi. Then I walked slowly down the drive away from the house intending to wait by the gate.
查看中文翻译
"It's only half past nine," she said.
查看中文翻译
I hadn't gone twenty yards when I heard my name and Gatsby stepped from between two bushes into the path. I must have felt pretty weird by that time because I could think of nothing except the luminosity of his pink suit under the moon.
查看中文翻译
"No thanks."
查看中文翻译
"Who was the woman?" he inquired.
查看中文翻译
I disliked him so much by this time that I didn't find it necessary to tell him he was wrong.
查看中文翻译
"Her name was Wilson. Her husband owns the garage. How the devil did it happen?"
查看中文翻译
"Yes."
查看中文翻译
"Was she killed?"
查看中文翻译
"What are you doing?" I inquired.
查看中文翻译
"I thought so; I told Daisy I thought so. It's better that the shock should all come at once. She stood it pretty well."
查看中文翻译
"Yes."
查看中文翻译
"Just standing here, old sport."
查看中文翻译
Somehow, that seemed a despicable occupation. For all I knew he was going to rob the house in a moment; I wouldn't have been surprised to see sinister faces, the faces of "Wolfshiem's people," behind him in the dark shrubbery.
查看中文翻译
"Did you see any trouble on the road?" he asked after a minute.
查看中文翻译
He hesitated.
查看中文翻译
"I got to West Egg by a side road," he went on, "and left the car in my garage. I don't think anybody saw us but of course I can't be sure."
查看中文翻译
He spoke as if Daisy's reaction was the only thing that mattered.
查看中文翻译
"Well, I tried to swing the wheel --" He broke off, and suddenly I guessed at the truth.
查看中文翻译
"Yes," he said after a moment, "but of course I'll say I was. You see, when we left New York she was very nervous and she thought it would steady her to drive -- and this woman rushed out at us just as we were passing a car coming the other way. It all happened in a minute but it seemed to me that she wanted to speak to us, thought we were somebody she knew. Well, first Daisy turned away from the woman toward the other car, and then she lost her nerve and turned back. The second my hand reached the wheel I felt the shock -- it must have killed her instantly."
查看中文翻译
"Don't tell me, old sport." He winced. "Anyhow -- Daisy stepped on it. I tried to make her stop, but she couldn't so I pulled on the emergency brake. Then she fell over into my lap and I drove on.
查看中文翻译
"She'll be all right tomorrow," he said presently. "I'm just going to wait here and see if he tries to bother her about that unpleasantness this afternoon. She's locked herself into her room and if he tries any brutality she's going to turn the light out and on again."
查看中文翻译
"Was Daisy driving?"
查看中文翻译
"It ripped her open --"
查看中文翻译
"He won't touch her," I said. "He's not thinking about her."
查看中文翻译
"All night if necessary. Anyhow till they all go to bed."
查看中文翻译
"I don't trust him, old sport."
查看中文翻译
A new point of view occurred to me. Suppose Tom found out that Daisy had been driving. He might think he saw a connection in it -- he might think anything. I looked at the house: there were two or three bright windows downstairs and the pink glow from Daisy's room on the second floor.
查看中文翻译
"How long are you going to wait?"
查看中文翻译
"You wait here," I said. "I'll see if there's any sign of a commotion."
查看中文翻译
I walked back along the border of the lawn, traversed the gravel softly and tiptoed up the veranda steps. The drawing-room curtains were open, and I saw that the room was empty. Crossing the porch where we had dined that June night three months before I came to a small rectangle of light which I guessed was the pantry window. The blind was drawn but I found a rift at the sill.
查看中文翻译
Daisy and Tom were sitting opposite each other at the kitchen table with a plate of cold fried chicken between them and two bottles of ale. He was talking intently across the table at her and in his earnestness his hand had fallen upon and covered her own. Once in awhile she looked up at him and nodded in agreement.
查看中文翻译
"Yes, it's all quiet." I hesitated. "You'd better come home and get some sleep."
查看中文翻译
As I tiptoed from the porch I heard my taxi feeling its way along the dark road toward the house. Gatsby was waiting where I had left him in the drive.
查看中文翻译
"Is it all quiet up there?" he asked anxiously.
查看中文翻译
They weren't happy, and neither of them had touched the chicken or the ale -- and yet they weren't unhappy either. There was an unmistakable air of natural intimacy about the picture and anybody would have said that they were conspiring together.
查看中文翻译
He shook his head.
查看中文翻译
"I want to wait here till Daisy goes to bed. Good night, old sport."
查看中文翻译
He put his hands in his coat pockets and turned back eagerly to his scrutiny of the house, as though my presence marred the sacredness of the vigil. So I walked away and left him standing there in the moonlight -- watching over nothing.
查看中文翻译
