《The Great Gatsby》(了不起的盖茨比)
上学的时候美国现代文学还不流行,有书也是草莽着看,实在不记得有没有碰过这本书。但也多亏当时没有看毁了它。现在读原汁原味的,体会着作者笔力的每一根筋脉和运动,的确是感觉震撼和享受!如痴如醉于文字和寓意间~
被大跟班压着读书呢,(这世道颠倒过来了吗?)
在大跟班面前我一直扮演一位快读深读者,但是近来的几部喜欢的英文小说看得都很慢,我美其名曰是在慢慢体会,慢慢玩味,慢慢享受呢~。。。但是这快读者的牌子算是很难高举了。
这不是,昨天看了25页,今天看到42页,平均每天一章节。
行了,我也就这个速度了。看到一章就该去玩玩别的了~

"The wind had blown off, leaving a loud bright night with wings beating in the trees and a persistent organ sound as the full bellows of the earth blew the frogs full of life. The silhouette of a moving cat wavered across the moonlight and turning my head to watch it, I saw that I was not alone..... ...... ......When I looked once more for Gatsby he had vanished, and I was alone again in the unquiet darkness."
还有:“I was consious of wanting to look squarely at everyone and yet to avoid all eyes."......"To certain temperament the situation might have seemed intriguing -- my own instinct was to telephone for the police."
Beautiful beautiful writing!美丽安详细腻又孕育内涵与铺垫的文字。 |
