The Great Gatsby — Page 86
那位军官在黛西说话的时候看着她，那种眼神是每个年轻女孩都曾渴望被人用来看待的，因为这在我眼中显得如此浪漫，所以我一直记得这件事。
The officer looked at Daisy while she was speaking, in a way that every young girl wants to be looked at sometime, and because it seemed romantic to me I have remembered the incident ever since.
他的名字叫杰·盖茨比，此后四年多我都没有再见过他——即使后来在长岛遇见他，我也没有意识到他就是同一个人。
His name was Jay Gatsby, and I didn't lay eyes on him again for over four years—even after I'd met him on Long Island I didn't realize it was the same man.
那是一九一七年。到了第二年，我自己也有了几个追求者，并开始参加锦标赛，所以我不常见到黛西了。
That was nineteen-seventeen. By the next year I had a few beaux myself, and I began to play in tournaments, so I didn't see Daisy very often.
她与一群年龄稍长的人来往——如果她跟任何人来往的话。
She went with a slightly older crowd—when she went with anyone at all.
关于她的各种疯狂谣言在流传——说她母亲曾在某个冬夜发现她正在收拾行李，准备去纽约向一位即将出征海外的士兵道别。
Wild rumours were circulating about her—how her mother had found her packing her bag one winter night to go to New York and say goodbye to a soldier who was going overseas.
她被有效地阻止了，但此后好几个星期她都与家人形同陌路，不相往来。
She was effectually prevented, but she wasn't on speaking terms with her family for several weeks.
此后她不再与那些士兵们厮混，只是与镇上几个因身体缺陷而无法入伍的年轻人来往。
After that she didn't play around with the soldiers any more, but only with a few flat-footed, shortsighted young men in town, who couldn't get into the army at all.
到了下一年秋天，她重新变得欢快起来，一如从前。
By the next autumn she was gay again, gay as ever.
她在停战后举行了一场初次正式亮相的舞会，到了二月，据说她已与一位来自新奥尔良的男子订了婚。
She had a début after the armistice, and in February she was presumably engaged to a man from New Orleans.
六月，她嫁给了芝加哥的汤姆·布坎南，婚礼的盛大排场是路易斯维尔前所未有的。
In June she married Tom Buchanan of Chicago, with more pomp and circumstance than Louisville ever knew before.
