主要人物
• 黛茜：大时代下的拜金 女郎，盖茨比的理想。 “她的声音充满金钱”。
内容简介
• 尼克从中西部故乡来到纽约，在他住所旁边正是本 书主人公盖茨比的豪华宅第。这里每晚都在举行盛 大的宴会。尼克和盖茨比相识，故事就这样开始了。 尼克对盖茨比充满探究的兴趣。探究的结果是：尼 克了解到盖茨比内心深处有一段不了之情。年轻时 的盖茨比并不富有，他是一个少校军官。他爱上了 一位叫黛茜的姑娘，黛茜对他也情有所钟。后来第 一次世界大战爆发，盖茨比被调往欧洲。似是偶然 却也是必然，黛茜因此和他分手，转而与一个出身 于富豪家庭的纨绔子弟汤姆结了婚。黛茜婚后的生 活并不幸福，因为汤姆另有情妇。物欲的满足并不 能填补黛西精神上的空虚。盖茨比痛苦万分，他坚 信是金钱让黛茜背叛了心灵的贞洁，于是立志要成 为富翁。几年以后，盖茨比终于成功了。他在黛茜 府邸的对面建造起了一幢大厦。盖茨比挥金如土， 彻夜笙箫，一心想引起黛茜的注意，以挽回失去的 爱情。
In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. "whenever you feel like criticizing any one,"he told me,"just remember that all the people in this word haven't had the advantages that you've had."
感受：
• 读此书时，那种朦胧，梦幻的感觉如临其境。那盏朦朦胧胧的绿 灯好似就在眼前，却又那般的触不可及。盖茨比是伟大的，他敢 于舍弃一切去追求他的梦想，哪怕那梦想显得那么不真实，那么 地遥不可及。我们该思考盖茨比这样的行为：究竟是执着还是愚 蠢？答案并非那么明确，在我们追梦的路上，要学会执着，更要 懂得放弃。

了不起的盖茨比
故事简介
• 《了不起的盖茨比》是作者菲茨杰拉德最出色的作品，堪称世界文学史的 完美之书。小说展现了二十世纪二十年代（美国经济大萧条的前十年）美 国的社会特色，当时物质文明高度发展，精神文明却堕落不堪，这一时代 被称为“爵士时代”。小说从尼克视角出发，带我们走进盖茨比的生活， 感受上流社会的浮华和空虚，见证“美国梦”的破灭。一阕华丽的“爵士 时代”的挽歌，在菲茨杰拉德笔下如诗如梦，在美国当代文学史上留下了 墨色浓重的印痕。
时代背景 ——物质方面
首先，菲兹杰拉德栩栩如生地展现了“喧嚣的20年 代”的社会氛围。在《了不起的盖茨比》之前，美 国小说中所占笔墨最多的是马车和轮船，汽车所占 的地位是无足轻重的。在这部小说中，汽车扮演了 非常重要的角色。可以看出汽车产业高速发展是当 时极具标志性的经济现象。小说的叙事者尼克拥有 一辆旧道奇，盖茨比的车是一辆奶黄色的劳斯莱斯， 少女时期的黛西开的是白色的跑车，汤姆也拥有一 辆白色跑车。小说中很关键的情节都和汽车有关： 黛西开着盖茨比的劳斯莱斯把布坎南的情妇梅朵给 撞死了。另一个在文中出现频率很高并且具有时代 代表性的物品是电话，当时极大地改变了人们的生 活方式，能够让处在不同空间的人实时地进行交流。

Summary of the book
The Great Gatsby is a story told by Nick Carraway, who was once Gatsby's neighbor. As the story opens, Nick has just moved from the Midwest to West Egg, Long Island, seeking his fortune as a bond salesman(股票推销员). Shortly after his arrival, Nick travels across the Sound to the more fashionable East Egg to visit his cousin Daisy Buchanan and her husband, Tom, a very rich man whom Nick had known in college. There he meets professional golfer(高尔 夫球员) Jordan Baker. The Buchanans and Jordan Baker live luxurious （奢靡的） lives, contrasting sharply in sensibility and luxury with Nick's more modest and grounded lifestyle. When Nick returns home that evening, he notices his neighbor, Gatsby, mysteriously standing in the dark and stretching his arms toward the water, and a green light across the Sound.

The American Dream
• It means that in America one might hope to satisfy every material desire and thereby achieve happiness. It is deceptive because it proposes the satisfaction of all desires as an attainable goal and identifies desire with material. Fitzgerald once said, “America’s great promise is that something’s going to happen, but it never does. America is the moon that never rose.” This indictment of the American Dream could well serve as an epigraph for The Great Gatsby.

The Jazz Age is the nickname in America of the decade of the 1920’s, beginning from 1919 to the Crash at the end of 1929. It refers to the “Twenties” of this century. These ten years were, for Americans, a time of carefree prosperity, isolated from the world’s problem, bewildering great social change, and a feverish pursuit of pleasure.
