内容简介 · · · · · ·

The mysterious Jay Gatsby embodies the American notion that it is possible to redefine oneself and persuade the world to accept that definition. Gatsby's youthful neighbor, Nick Carraway, fascinated with the display of enormous wealth in which Gatsby revels, finds himself swept up in the lavish lifestyle of Long Island society during the Jazz Age. Considered Fitzgerald's best w...

作者简介 · · · · · ·

F(rancis) Scott Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, on September 24, 1896. He was educated at Princeton University and served in the U.S. Army from 1917 to 1919, attaining the rank of second lieutenant. In 1920 Fitzgerald married Zelda Sayre, a young woman of the upper class, and they had a daughter, Frances.

Fitzgerald is regarded as one of the finest American writers of the 20th Century. His most notable work was the novel, The Great Gatsby (1925). The novel focused on the themes of the Roaring Twenties and of the loss of innocence and ethics among the nouveau riche. He also made many contributions to American literature in the form of short stories, plays, poetry, music, and letters. Ernest Hemingway, who was greatly influenced by Fitzgerald's short stories, wrote that Fitzgerald's talent was "as fine as the dust on a butterfly's wing." Yet during his lifetime Fitzgerald never had a best-selling novel and, toward the end of his life, he worked sporadically as a screenwriter at motion picture studios in Los Angeles. There he contributed to scripts for such popular films as Winter Carnival and Gone with the Wind.

Fitzgerald's work is inseparable from the Roaring 20s. Berenice Bobs Her Hair and A Diamond As Big As The Ritz, are two short stories included in his collections, Tales of the Jazz Age and Flappers and Philosophers. His first novel The Beautiful and Damned was flawed but set up Fitzgerald's major themes of the fleeting nature of youthfulness and innocence, unattainable love, and middle-class aspiration for wealth and respectability, derived from his own courtship of Zelda. This Side of Paradise (1920) was Fitzgerald's first unqualified success. Tender Is the Night, a mature look at the excesses of the exuberant 20s, was published in 1934.

Much of Fitzgerald's work has been adapted for film, including Tender is the Night , The Great Gatsby, and Babylon Revisited which was adapted as The Last Time I Saw Paris by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1954. The Last Tycoon, adapted by Paramount in 1976, was a work in progress when Fitzgerald died of a heart attack on December 21, 1940, in Hollywood, California. Fitzgerald is buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Rockville, Maryland.

这种微笑是极为罕见的微笑，带有一种令人无比放心的感觉，也许你一辈子只可能碰上四五次。一瞬间这种微笑面对着——或者似乎面对着整个永恒的世界，然而又一瞬间，它凝聚到你身上，对你表现出一种不可抗拒的偏爱。他所表现出的对你理解的程度，恰恰是你想要被理解的程度。相信你如同你乐意相信你自己那样，并且让你相信他对你的印象不多不少正是你最得意时希望留给别人的印象。 (查看原文)

毁掉菲兹杰拉德的女人

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露

海明威在《流动的盛宴》中直言不讳地说，斯科特•菲兹杰拉德（F. Scott Fitzgerald）是被女人毁掉的。这话有失公允，女人成就了他，女人也毁了他。伟大的人总是被成就他的东西毁去，无一例外；而大部分人之所以默默无名，只是因为没有遇到所能成就他们的。姞内瓦反复恳求他... (展开)

从bitch一词的翻译管窥译者的翻译水平

《了不起的盖茨比》中有一段非常普通的对话：第二章中，Tom带着Nick去见他的情妇Myrtle，随后三人一同坐火车前往纽约，在车站Myrtle看中了小贩兜售的一条狗，然后很矫情地问“Is it a boy or a girl?” Tom冷冷地回应“It's a bitch.” 李继宏居然翻译为“它是个婊子。”这是一... (展开)
