The Great Gatsby — Page 71

促销商达·方塔诺来了，埃德·勒格罗、詹姆斯·B·（"烂酒"）费雷特、德容夫妇和欧内斯特·利利也来了——他们是来赌博的，当费雷特晃荡进花园时，就意味着他已经输得精光，而联合牵引公司第二天股票必须涨得让人有利可图。

Da Fontano the promoter came there, and Ed Legros and James B. ("Rot-Gut") Ferret and the De Jongs and Ernest Lilly—they came to gamble, and when Ferret wandered into the garden it meant he was cleaned out and Associated Traction would have to fluctuate profitably next day.

一个叫克利普斯普林格的男人去得如此频繁，以至于他被人称为"寄宿者"——我怀疑他根本没有别的住所。

A man named Klipspringer was there so often that he became known as "the boarder"—I doubt if he had any other home.

戏剧界人士中有格斯·韦兹、霍勒斯·奥多纳万、莱斯特·迈尔、乔治·达克威德和弗朗西斯·布尔。

Of theatrical people there were Gus Waize and Horace O'Donavan and Lester Myer and George Duckweed and Francis Bull.

同样来自纽约的还有克罗姆夫妇、巴克海森夫妇、丹尼克夫妇、拉塞尔·贝蒂、科里根夫妇、凯勒赫夫妇、杜瓦夫妇、斯卡利夫妇、S·W·贝尔彻、斯默克夫妇、如今已离婚的小奎因夫妇，以及亨利·L·帕尔梅托——他在时代广场跳地铁自杀身亡。

Also from New York were the Chromes and the Backhyssons and the Dennickers and Russel Betty and the Corrigans and the Kellehers and the Dewars and the Scullys and S. W. Belcher and the Smirkes and the young Quinns, divorced now, and Henry L. Palmetto, who killed himself by jumping in front of a subway train in Times Square.

本尼·麦克莱纳汉每次来总是带着四个女孩。

Benny McClenahan arrived always with four girls.

她们在外貌上从来不完全是同一批人，但彼此之间又如此相像，以至于不可避免地让人觉得她们以前就来过。

They were never quite the same ones in physical person, but they were so identical one with another that it inevitably seemed they had been there before.

我已经忘记了她们的名字——我想是雅克琳，或者是康苏埃拉，或者格洛丽亚，或者朱迪，或者琼，而她们的姓氏要么是花卉和月份那样悦耳动听的名字，要么是美国大资本家那样更为严肃的姓氏——如果被追问，她们会承认自己是那些大资本家的远亲。

I have forgotten their names—Jaqueline, I think, or else Consuela, or Gloria or Judy or June, and their last names were either the melodious names of flowers and months or the sterner ones of the great American capitalists whose cousins, if pressed, they would confess themselves to be.
