The Great Gatsby — Page 140
他发现默特尔在另一个世界里有着某种与他无关的生活，这个打击让他身体上感到恶心。
He had discovered that Myrtle had some sort of life apart from him in another world, and the shock had made him physically sick.
我盯着他，又盯着汤姆——汤姆不到一个小时前也有过类似的发现——我突然想到，人与人之间，无论是智识还是种族，都没有比病人与健康人之间更深刻的差别了。
I stared at him and then at Tom, who had made a parallel discovery less than an hour before—and it occurred to me that there was no difference between men, in intelligence or race, so profound as the difference between the sick and the well.
威尔逊病得那么厉害，看上去像个有罪的人，罪不可赦——仿佛他刚刚让某个可怜的姑娘有了身孕。
Wilson was so sick that he looked guilty, unforgivably guilty—as if he had just got some poor girl with child.
「那辆车我让你拿去，」汤姆说，「我明天下午把它送过来。」
"I'll let you have that car," said Tom. "I'll send it over tomorrow afternoon."
那个地方总是隐约令人不安，即使是在下午强烈的阳光下也是如此，而此刻我转过头，仿佛有什么东西在身后向我发出了警告。
That locality was always vaguely disquieting, even in the broad glare of afternoon, and now I turned my head as though I had been warned of something behind.
在灰堆上方，T·J·埃克尔堡医生那双巨大的眼睛依然守望着，但过了一会儿我察觉到，另一双眼睛正以一种异乎寻常的专注凝视着我们，距离不足二十英尺。
Over the ash-heaps the giant eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg kept their vigil, but I perceived, after a moment, that other eyes were regarding us with peculiar intensity from less than twenty feet away.
车库上方的一扇窗户里，窗帘被拨开了一点，默特尔·威尔逊正俯身向下凝视着那辆汽车。
In one of the windows over the garage the curtains had been moved aside a little, and Myrtle Wilson was peering down at the car.
她看得那么专注，完全没有意识到自己正被人观察，一种又一种情绪悄悄爬上她的脸，就像一张慢慢显影的照片中逐渐浮现出的影像。
So engrossed was she that she had no consciousness of being observed, and one emotion after another crept into her face like objects into a slowly developing picture.
