The Great Gatsby — Page 88

她把它带进浴缸，把它攥成一个湿球，直到看见它像雪一样碎裂开来，才让我把它放回肥皂碟里。

She took it into the tub with her and squeezed it up in a wet ball, and only let me leave it in the soap-dish when she saw that it was coming to pieces like snow.

但她没有再多说一个字。我们给她喝了氨水，在她额头上敷了冰块，帮她把裙子重新扣好，半小时后，当我们走出房间时，珍珠项链已经戴回她的脖子上，这件事就此翻篇。

But she didn't say another word. We gave her spirits of ammonia and put ice on her forehead and hooked her back into her dress, and half an hour later, when we walked out of the room, the pearls were around her neck and the incident was over.

第二天五点钟，她嫁给了汤姆·布坎南，连一丝颤抖都没有，随即启程前往南太平洋，开始了为期三个月的旅行。

Next day at five o'clock she married Tom Buchanan without so much as a shiver, and started off on a three months' trip to the South Seas.

她常常坐在沙滩上，让他把头枕在她腿上，一坐就是几个小时，用手指轻抚他的眼睛，以一种难以名状的喜悦望着他。

She used to sit on the sand with his head in her lap by the hour, rubbing her fingers over his eyes and looking at him with unfathomable delight.

看到他们在一起令人动容——会让你忍不住发出一种轻声的、着迷的笑。那是八月份的事。

It was touching to see them together—it made you laugh in a hushed, fascinated way. That was in August.

我离开圣巴巴拉后的一个星期，汤姆在一个夜晚于文图拉公路上撞上了一辆马车，把他汽车的一个前轮撞飞了。

A week after I left Santa Barbara Tom ran into a wagon on the Ventura road one night, and ripped a front wheel off his car.
