The Great Gatsby — Page 170
她时不时地动一动，他便微微调换一下手臂的姿势，有一次他亲吻了她乌黑闪亮的秀发。
Now and then she moved and he changed his arm a little, and once he kissed her dark shining hair.
那个下午让他们暂时平静下来，仿佛是为了给他们留下一段深刻的记忆，以备来日漫长的离别。
The afternoon had made them tranquil for a while, as if to give them a deep memory for the long parting the next day promised.
在他们相爱的这一个月里，他们从未像此刻这般亲密，也从未这般深切地心意相通。
They had never been closer in their month of love, nor communicated more profoundly one with another,
无论是她将沉默的双唇轻贴在他的衣肩，还是他温柔地触碰她的指尖，仿佛她正在沉睡。
than when she brushed silent lips against his coat's shoulder or when he touched the end of her fingers, gently, as though she were asleep.
他在战争中表现得异常出色。
He did extraordinarily well in the war.
他上前线之前就已晋升为上尉，经历阿尔贡战役后，他又晋升为少校，并获得了师属机枪部队的指挥权。
He was a captain before he went to the front, and following the Argonne battles he got his majority and the command of the divisional machine-guns.
停战之后，他拼命想回国，却因某种纠纷或误会被派往牛津，而非回到家乡。
After the armistice he tried frantically to get home, but some complication or misunderstanding sent him to Oxford instead.
他此时忧心忡忡——黛西的来信中透着一股神经质的绝望。
He was worried now—there was a quality of nervous despair in Daisy's letters.
她不明白他为何不能回来。
She didn't see why he couldn't come.
她感受到外部世界的压力，她渴望见到他，感受他在身边的存在，让他来告诉她，她所做的一切终究是正确的。
She was feeling the pressure of the world outside, and she wanted to see him and feel his presence beside her and be reassured that she was doing the right thing after all.
因为黛西年轻，她那虚华的世界弥漫着兰花的芬芳，充斥着轻松愉快的势利之风，还有那些奏出年度旋律的管弦乐团，用新曲将生命的哀愁与朦胧的诱惑一一道尽。
For Daisy was young and her artificial world was redolent of orchids and pleasant, cheerful snobbery and orchestras which set the rhythm of the year, summing up the sadness and suggestiveness of life in new tunes.
