The Great Gatsby — Page 150
她的声音是冷淡的，但其中的怨恨已经消散了。
Her voice was cold, but the rancour was gone from it.
她看着盖茨比。"好了，杰，"她说——但她试图点燃香烟的手在颤抖。
She looked at Gatsby. "There, Jay," she said—but her hand as she tried to light a cigarette was trembling.
她突然把香烟和燃烧着的火柴扔到了地毯上。
Suddenly she threw the cigarette and the burning match on the carpet.
"哦，你要求得太多了！"她向盖茨比哭喊道。
"Oh, you want too much!" she cried to Gatsby.
"我现在爱你——这还不够吗？我无法改变过去的事情。"
"I love you now—isn't that enough? I can't help what's past."
她开始无助地哭泣。
She began to sob helplessly.
"我曾经也爱过他——但我也爱过你。"
"I did love him once—but I loved you too."
盖茨比的眼睛睁开又闭上。
Gatsby's eyes opened and closed.
"你也爱过我？"他重复道。
"You loved me too?" he repeated.
"那也是谎话，"汤姆凶狠地说。
"Even that's a lie," said Tom savagely.
"她根本不知道你的存在。
"She didn't know you were alive.
呵——黛西和我之间有些事情是你永远不会知道的，是我们两个都永远无法忘记的事情。"
Why—there's things between Daisy and me that you'll never know, things that neither of us can ever forget."
这些话似乎在生理上刺痛了盖茨比。
The words seemed to bite physically into Gatsby.
"我想单独和黛西谈谈，"他坚持道。
"I want to speak to Daisy alone," he insisted.
"她现在太激动了——"
"She's all excited now—"
"即使是单独在一起，我也无法说我从未爱过汤姆，"她用可怜的声音承认道。
"Even alone I can't say I never loved Tom," she admitted in a pitiful voice.
"那样说不是真话。"
"It wouldn't be true."
"当然不是，"汤姆表示同意。
"Of course it wouldn't," agreed Tom.
她转向她的丈夫。
She turned to her husband.
"好像这对你有什么重要的似的，"她说。
"As if it mattered to you," she said.
"当然重要。从现在起我会好好照顾你的。"
"Of course it matters. I'm going to take better care of you from now on."
"你不明白，"盖茨比带着一丝慌乱说道。
"You don't understand," said Gatsby, with a touch of panic.
"你再也不会照顾她了。"
"You're not going to take care of her any more."
"是吗？"汤姆睁大眼睛笑了起来。
"I'm not?" Tom opened his eyes wide and laughed.
他现在可以从容地控制自己了。"为什么这么说？"
He could afford to control himself now. "Why's that?"
"黛西要离开你了。"
"Daisy's leaving you."
"胡说。"
"Nonsense."
