“It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance . . . that you may come across four or five times in life." His smile, Nick asserts, "believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey….elaborate formality of speech……picking his words with care.”
• It is an epithet applied to the era of the 1920s in the U.S., whose frenetic（狂热的 ） youth of the post war period were conceived as more juvenile（孩子气的 ） and hedonistic（享乐主义） than the “lost generation”. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Tales of the Jazz Age (1922) was a classic representation of the period.

He is offering harsh social criticism, by suggesting that the only way in which a sense of meaning is to be found in this time is through altering one's sense of consciousness. Through the partying, people were able to bring meaning (regardless of the fact it may be false meaning) into their otherwise meaningless lives. For them, drinking was an escape, allowing them to exit the mundane平凡的 world and take part in something bigger, something more meaningful.

• Part of Fitzgerald's strength as a writer comes from his imagistic style. His writing is very sensory感观 -oriented. What examples of sensory-oriented imagery (sight, taste, touch, smell, sound) can you find in chapter 3? What kind of atmosphere do these details help create? How do they affect you as a reader?
