了不起的蓋茨比英文簡(jiǎn)介

英文介紹：
The Great Gatsby was published in 1922 by F.Scott Fitzgerald.At first glance,the novel appears to be a simple love story,but further examination reveals Fitzgerald’s masterful scrutiny of American society during the 1920s and the corruption of the American dream.
F.Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby(1926)is,at first sight,a novel about love,idealism and disillusionment.However,it soon reveals its hidden depths and enigmas.What is the significance of the strange”waste land”between West Egg and New York,where Myrtle Wilson meets her death,an alien landscape presided over by the eyes of T J Eckleburg whose eyes,like God’s,”see everything”?And what are we to make of the novel’s unobtrusive symbolism(the green light,the colour of American dollar bills,which burns at the end of Daisy’s dock,the references to the elements-land,sea and earth-over which Gatby claims mastery,the contrast between”East”and”West”),or its subtle use of the personalised first narrator,the unassuming Nick Carraway?
It is a novel which has intrigued and fascinated readers.Clearly,as a self-proclaimed”tale of the West”,it is exploring questions about America and what it means to be American.In this sense Gatsby is perhaps that legendary opus,the”Great American Novel”,following in the footsteps of works such as Moby Dick and Huckleberry Finn.
We will return to this aspect of the novel in more detail later on.However,we also need to be aware that it is a novel which has much to be say about more abstract questions to do with faith,belief and illusion.Although rooted in the”Jazz Age”which Fitzgerald is so often credited with naming,it is also a novel which should be considered alongside works like The Waste Land,exploring that”hollowness at the heart of things”which lies just below the surface of modern life.
Eliot himself remarked that the novel”interested and excited me more than any new novel I have seen,either English or American,for a number of years”.Viewed from more distant perspectives it is possible to see Gatsby as an archetypally tragic figure,the epitome of idealism and innocence which strives for order,purpose and meaning in a chaotic and hostile world.In this sense Gatsby contains religious and metaphysical dimensions:the young man who shapes a”Platonic vision of himself”and who endows the worthless figure of Daisy with religious essence,eventually passes away into nothingness,with few at the funeral to lament the passing of his romantic dream.

《了不起的蓋茨比》出版于1922年斯科特·菲茨杰拉德。這部小說乍一看,似乎是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的愛情故事,但進(jìn)一步檢查揭示了菲茨杰拉德的高超的審查在1920年代美國(guó)社會(huì)和美國(guó)夢(mèng)的腐敗。f·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德的《了不起的蓋茨比》(1926),乍一看,關(guān)于愛情的小說,理想主義和幻滅。然而,它很快就揭示了隱藏的深度和謎。是什么奇怪的“荒原”的意義在西卵和紐約之間,桃金娘威爾遜滿足她的死,外星景觀的眼睛T J Eckleburg主持的眼睛,像上帝一樣,“看到一切”?和我們的小說的象征意義(綠燈,美國(guó)鈔票的顏色,伯恩斯在黛西的碼頭,引用的元素——土地、海洋和地球——對(duì)Gatby聲稱掌握的“東方”和“西方”之間的反差),或其微妙的個(gè)性化第一敘述者,謙遜的尼克·卡拉韋?這是一個(gè)新穎的好奇和著迷的讀者。顯然,作為一個(gè)自稱“西方”的故事,它正在探索的問題對(duì)美國(guó)和美國(guó)意味著什么。從這個(gè)意義上說蓋茨比可能是傳奇作品,“偉大的美國(guó)小說”,繼《白鯨記》和《哈克貝利·費(fèi)恩歷險(xiǎn)記》等工作。我們將更詳細(xì)地回到這方面的小說。然而,我們還需要知道它是一個(gè)有很多的小說是說更抽象的問題與信仰,信仰和錯(cuò)覺。雖然植根于菲茨杰拉德的“爵士時(shí)代”是經(jīng)常而命名,它也是一個(gè)小說,應(yīng)考慮與作品像曠野,探索“核心的空曠的事情”,是現(xiàn)代生活的表面下方。艾略特自己評(píng)論說這部小說“感興趣和興奮我比任何的新小說我看過,英語或美國(guó),數(shù)年”。從更遙遠(yuǎn)的角度可以看到蓋茨比作為一個(gè)悲劇人物的典型,理想主義的縮影和純真,爭(zhēng)取訂單,目的和意義在一個(gè)混亂的和充滿敵意的世界。從這個(gè)意義上說蓋茨比包含宗教和形而上學(xué)的維度:形狀的年輕人一個(gè)“自己的柏拉圖式的愿景”,誰賦予黛西與宗教本質(zhì)的價(jià)值圖,最終去世成虛無,在葬禮上哀嘆過去他的浪漫夢(mèng)想
