1． With his hands still in his coat pockets he stalked by me into the hall, turned sharply as if he were on a wire, and disappeared into the living-room. It wasn’t a bit funny. Aware of the loud beating of my own heart I pulled the door to against the increasing rain.（P116） 他大步跨过我，接着走进了门廊，但手始终揣在他的上衣口袋里，突然他像是被什么引导着一样，一转身进了客厅，从我眼前消失不见了。他的样子一点也不可笑。我感受到此刻自己的心在大力地跳动着。雨又变大了，我伸手关上了大门。
2． As I watched him he adjusted himself a little, visibly. His hand took hold of hers, and as she said something low in his ear he turned toward her with a rush of emotion. I think that voice held him most, with its fluctuating, feverish warmth, because it couldn’t be over-dreamed--that voice was a deathless song.(P129)
当我看着他的时候，从他的神态中可以看出他正在试着让自己接受眼前的现实。他伸手抓住她的手。她在他耳边轻声呢喃了几句，他听了立刻激动地看着她。我想最让他着迷且不能自
拔的是黛西她那婉转激昂的声音，因为那是你绝对无法想象的--她的声音宛如一曲动人的永恒旋律。
3． After his embarrassment and his unreasoning joy his was consumed with wonder at her presence. He had been full of the idea so long, dreamed it right through to the end, waited with his teeth tight set, so to speak, at an inconceivable pitch of intensity. (P124)
他先是局促不安，继而欣喜若狂， 现在又因为他出现在面前而深感惊叹，不能自持。这件事他长期萦绕心头，梦寐以求，可谓是咬紧了牙关期待着。
4． There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams-not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion. It had gone beyond her, beyond everything. He had thrown himself into it with a creative passion, adding to it all the time, decking it out with every bright feather that drifted his way. (P129)
那天下午一定有过一些时刻， 黛西远不如他的梦中想象的那样—这并不是由于她本人的错，而是由于他的幻想过于高大。他的幻想超越了黛西本身，超越了一切。他将全部热情都投入到这个幻想中，不断的创造着，这真实的基础上添加一切美好的东西，将每一根从远处飘来的羽毛都加了进去，将它装饰成无以伦比的艺术品。
5． 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, towards that lost voice across the room. (P176)
但是他说得越多，黛西就越往后缩。结果他只好不说了，唯有那个死去的梦想随着下午的流逝在继续挣扎，拼命想触摸那不再摸得着的东西，向着缩在房间那头无声无息的声音痛苦但并不绝望地哀求。 What is the symbolic meaning of the green light in the Great Gatsby?
在小说中出现了三次的“绿灯”。三次的位置分别在小说的开头、中间和结尾处，也就说，“绿灯”是贯穿整个故事的一个重要象征，盖茨比的命运始终和这盏绿灯紧密相连。在第一章结尾处，盖茨比首次出场就和绿灯不可分割地交织在一起，尽管这时的绿灯遥远而又微弱，但他仍要不顾一切地尽力抓住它。随着故事的发展，我们知道，绿灯其实就是爱情的象征，是黛西的化身。盖茨比苦苦奋斗，终于爬到上流社会，为
的就是心中的“纯洁的爱情”，这个浪漫的梦想让
他最终通过不可告人的手段获得了巨大的财富。他通过丰盛的宴会来炫耀自己的富有和显赫的社会地位，希冀以此来吸引黛西，重温昔日旧梦。等到盖茨比终于与黛西相聚时，这时雾气却笼罩了绿灯，象征着黛西已经不是从前的黛西，不是盖茨比心中一尘不染的天仙，象征着现实和理想之间存在着巨大的落差。最终，盖茨比的希望落空了，梦想破灭了，沦为自私虚荣的黛西的牺牲品，近在咫尺的绿灯把他引向了生命的终点。作者在文章的结尾处再次提到绿灯，使文章首尾相应，也被作者赋予了更多的象征意义。它不仅象征着盖茨比的个人奋斗的理想、希望、目标和方向，也象征着美国梦的虚无、易碎，我们从盖茨比个人追求历程中可以清楚地看到“美国梦”的实质以及美国的发展史。
人人心目中都可能有一束绿光，它存在于看得见却难以企及的彼岸，可能是希望、信仰、事业、财富、感情或种种目标。有梦想，为之不懈努力，不迷失自我，不畏孤独，坚守着出发时的初衷，一直坚持，如小说末尾所说：
盖茨比信奉这盏绿灯，这个一年年在我们眼前渐渐远去的极乐的未来，它曾经从我们身边溜走，不过那没关系……明天我们跑得更快一些，把胳膊伸得更远一点……总有一个美好的清晨……
盖茨比相信绿光，相信久违的希望.
绿光曾经意味着梦想和希望,最终却暗示了梦想的意义的丧失盖茨比把它看成黛西尼可把它比作美国大陆出现在早期移民的视野中.
