读完小说后，我真心认为盖茨比是我知道的最了不起的角色

盖茨比的了不起，不是通过某种感情来表现的，例如亲情、爱情；也不是通过载道的形式来表现的，比如mz大义，为g献身等

如果现实中存在这么一个盖茨比，那么，无论他有没有遇到过一个老头，会不会卖酒，他都会是最了不起的人

去年秋天我从东部回来的时候，我觉得我希望全世界的人都穿上军装，并且永远在道德上保持一种立正姿势。我不再要参与放浪形骸的游乐，也不再要偶尔窥见人内心深处的荣幸了。唯有盖茨比--就是把名字赋予本书的那个人--除外，不属于我这种反应的范围--盖茨比，他代表我所真心鄙夷的一切。假如人的品格是一系列连续不断的成功的姿态，那么这个人身上就有一种瑰丽的异彩，他对于人生的希望具有一种高度的敏感，类似一台能够记录万里以外的地震的错综复杂的仪器。这种敏感和通常美其名曰"创造性气质"的那种软绵绵的感受性毫不相干--它是一种异乎寻常的水葆希望的天赋，一种富于浪漫色彩的敏捷，这是我在别人身上从来发现过的，也是我今后不大可能会再发现的。不--盖茨比本人到头来倒是无可厚非的、使我对人们短暂的悲哀和片刻的欢欣暂时丧失兴趣的，却是那些吞噬盖茨比心灵的东西，是在他的幻梦消逝后跟踪而来的恶浊的灰尘。

When I came back from the East last autumn I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention for ever: wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human 网页链接 Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this book, was exempt from my reaction-Gatsby, who represented everything for which I have an unaffected 网页链接 personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life, as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes ten thousand miles 网页链接 responsiveness had nothing to do with that flabby impressionability which is dignified under the name of the 'creative temperament'-it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again. No-Gatsby turned out all right at the end;it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the
abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men.
