【每日一段】The Great Gatsby

And as I sat there brooding on the old unknown world, I thought of Gatsbys wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisys dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night.

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but thats no matter- tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther....And one fine morning-

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

電影可以拿來看情節/休閑娛樂，也可以拿來學習。

很多人說：電影翻拍總是沒有原小說好。

這部了不起的蓋茨比我是先看的電影再看的小說，我覺得，電影絲毫不遜色於小說。

最後這段結尾，敘述主人公坐在豪宅區里遠眺，說出這麼一段旁白，意味深長.......

多讀，用心感受，熟能生巧。
