The Great Gatsby — Page 169
两天后他们再次相见，这次却是盖茨比上气不接下气，不知为何，像是被什么出卖了。
When they met again, two days later, it was Gatsby who was breathless, who was, somehow, betrayed.
她的门廊在繁星买来的奢华光芒中明亮闪烁；当她转身面向他时，藤编长椅发出时髦的吱呀声，他吻了她那充满好奇而又可爱的嘴唇。
Her porch was bright with the bought luxury of star-shine; the wicker of the settee squeaked fashionably as she turned toward him and he kissed her curious and lovely mouth.
她感冒了，这使她的声音比以往任何时候都更加沙哑迷人，盖茨比深深地感受到那种财富所囚禁和保存着的青春与神秘，感受到那许多衣裙的清新气息，感受到黛西——她如银光般闪耀，高高在上，远离穷人炽热的挣扎，安然而骄傲。
She had caught a cold, and it made her voice huskier and more charming than ever, and Gatsby was overwhelmingly aware of the youth and mystery that wealth imprisons and preserves, of the freshness of many clothes, and of Daisy, gleaming like silver, safe and proud above the hot struggles of the poor.
「老兄，我没法向你形容，当我发现自己爱上她时，我有多震惊。
"I can't describe to you how surprised I was to find out I loved her, old sport.
我甚至一度希望她会甩掉我，但她没有，因为她也爱上了我。
I even hoped for a while that she'd throw me over, but she didn't, because she was in love with me too.
她以为我见多识广，因为我懂得的东西和她不同……好吧，就这样，我完全偏离了我的抱负，每分每秒都越陷越深，而突然间我不再在乎了。
She thought I knew a lot because I knew different things from her … Well, there I was, way off my ambitions, getting deeper in love every minute, and all of a sudden I didn't care.
如果我可以把要做的事情讲给她听、从而获得更美好的时光，那成就大事又有什么意义呢？」
What was the use of doing great things if I could have a better time telling her what I was going to do?"
在他出国前的最后一个下午，他把黛西抱在怀里，静静地坐了很久很久。
On the last afternoon before he went abroad, he sat with Daisy in his arms for a long, silent time.
那是一个寒冷的秋日，房间里燃着火，她的双颊红晕泛起。
It was a cold fall day, with fire in the room and her cheeks flushed.
