17、der the cover of the selfishness and indifference of human nature. 了不起的盖茨比了不起的盖茨比是菲茨杰拉德写的，他生于1896年以及死于1940年。1920年因小说尘世乐园而一举成名。他出版过的长篇小说夜色温柔，人间天堂等。发表过160篇短篇小说，有本杰明的奇幻之旅，冰宫，冬之梦，明智之举等等。在第81届奥斯卡获得3项奖项的电影返老还童就是有他的短篇小说本杰明的奇幻之旅改编。二十世纪末，美国学术界权威在百年英语文学长河中选出一百部最优秀的小说，了不起的盖茨比和夜色温柔均榜上有名，前者更高居第二位。这部小说1925年出版，而我读
18、的是2008年由航空工业出版社的版本。小说以尼克的口吻叙说了盖茨比的故事。尼克是个厌倦家乡（美国中西部）的生活而来到纽约。并在市郊长岛西卵租了一套小房子。他是黛西的表哥。而盖茨比是他的邻居，住在豪华的盖茨比公馆。盖茨比年轻时曾与黛西相恋，但因家境不好而分手，后来他参加第一次世界大战，而黛西则嫁给了富家公子汤姆，并生下一个女儿。五年后，黛西一家由芝加哥搬到西部。尼克开始和他们往来密切。五年内盖茨比用非法手段积聚大量财富。追随黛西来到纽约。在黛西家对面买下豪华别墅盖茨比公馆。而且每周六在别墅举行大型就会。就是为吸引已婚的黛西相会。从而复活他们之间已失去的感情。一次偶然机会盖茨比知道尼克是黛西的表兄
19、。请求他安排与黛西的会面。之后他们频繁幽会。他渐渐发现黛西的虚荣与俗气。盖茨比的美丽旧梦终于被打碎了，但他还在做最后的挣扎，仍对黛西抱有一丝幻想，以至遭遇了更加凄惨可悲的结局。后来黛西在一次酒后驾驶盖茨比的车时轧死了汤姆的情妇，却与汤姆一道密谋并残忍地嫁祸于盖茨比，导致死者的丈夫突然闯入盖茨比家中并开枪打死了盖茨比，然后自杀身亡。而黛西则和汤姆去欧洲旅行了。在葬礼上盖茨比可怜的父亲和你可两人。使盖茨比最终彻底成为自私而残忍的黛西的牺牲品。在我看来，盖茨比是个优秀人。他总是表现的风度翩翩，极有绅士风度。就像尼克说的一样“He smiled understandingly much more th
20、an understandingly. It was you may come across four or five times in life. It faced or seemed to you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself”。而且他也是个有理想的人。在他年青时就知道自我训练。但他的梦想是黛西
21、，它超越了黛西本身，超越了一切。盖茨比是追求美国孟繁荣典型列子，他的命运因一个女人而改变，这是他的悲剧。可以说黛西是一般天使一般魔鬼。他是一个保守又用情专一的女人。年轻时，不管世俗的眼光与盖茨比相爱，甚至愿抛弃一切和他远走高飞。即使汤姆非常花心婚后一直对丈夫衷忠不渝。从不从做出任何出格的事。他也是个典型的拜金女。用盖茨比的话说“她的声音充满钱”。他的自私与愚蠢导致了盖茨比的悲剧。作者把自己的经历同美国的经历相结合。缔造了这篇小说。作者的妻子泽尔达是一个被物质宠坏的富家女，就像黛西一样。有人说是泽尔达毁了他的天赋，也有人说是她造就了菲茨杰拉德。总之，盖茨比的经历一部分和作者是相似的。盖茨比之所以“了不起”是因为他真诚而执著地等待追求着心中珍藏的爱。在人们纵情享乐、奢华骄逸的社会风气盛行时。但是，在那个物质主导的环境中，无论是盖茨比、黛西，还是汤姆，对爱情的追求、付出与转移，都跟金钱和地位有着不可分割的联系。这个故事发生在20世纪20年代被称为“爵士乐”和“金元”的时代。小说采用第一人称的叙事手法。仿佛书中发生的一切都是尼克的亲身见闻。它以一种独特的文学视野和新颖的表现风格。深刻揭示了“爵士时代”的“美国梦”破灭的根源.战后美国经济繁荣时期,拜金主义生活潮流被表现得淋漓尽致。而他是被掩盖下的自私冷漠的人性本质下的。
