了不起的盖茨比英文介绍,急100-200字,最好还带观后感!跪谢,

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

1.“条顿”就是日后的日耳曼民族,作者所指的即德国,至于这个世界大战,也就是一战了.这些信息可从英文原版中获得.是翻译者的没有变通的问题.
2.这句话的意思就是“如果你只选取一个角度去衡量一个人,那么他必有成功之处,（因为那是他擅长的角度）”,与前面的“全能的人（well-rounded man）”相对.
了不起的盖茨比 极其艰涩,首先作者写作手法很独特,思维很跳跃；而译者有不能好好地把握,没有适当的意译.建议读名翻译家翻译的版本.祝阅读快乐.

　　人文和上译都是中国最老牌的外国文学出版机构,在改革开放以前也只有这两家出版社有资格出版外国文学作品,所以20世纪以前的名著只有这两个出版社的最经典,翻译质量最好.由于政策的原因,人文出版的名著偏苏俄,偏古典；而上译的名著偏欧美,偏现代.
　　而现代的西方作品（不好说名著,因为现在引进的大部分西方作品属于流行文学,或说畅销小说）因为有版权限制,在中国大陆基本上都只有一个版本,好坏都没得选择,所以没有什么出版社的问题.
　　译林出版社是在大约1988年成立的,其出版的西方名著在权威与经典上是无法与人文和上译相比的,所以译林在图书的装帧上采用精装本的形式以吸引购书者,而人文的名著名译插图本系列和上译的译文名著文库系列在装帧上要显得较为朴素简陋.但我认为书是用来品味的,而非插架摆相的,一定要读经典译本.译林的某些名著译本（如《简·爱》,《魔戒》系列,《福尔摩斯探案全集》,《堂吉诃德》等）实在是糟蹋原著.绝不要看,绝不推荐.但是近年来译林出版的西方畅销小说不错,可以一读,而人文和上译一直保持着自己的优良传统,成为外国文学翻译的品牌出版社.

Written by American novelist F.Scott Fitzgerald and first published in 1925,the setting of The Great Gatsby is at both Long Island's North Shore and New York City,during the period immediately after the First World War.
The American economy soared during these "roaring" 1920s and society enjoyed the subsequent prosperity.This period was also the first to have Prohibition,which,by banning the sale and manufacture of alcohol,conversely made millionaires out of bootleggers.The Great Gatsby was republished in both 1945 and 1953 and increased its already-wide readership.Even to the present day,The Great Gatsby is deemed a literary classic and regarded as a quintessential Great American Novel.The Modern Library named it the second best novel of the 20th Century.[

The Green Light
Situated at the end of Daisy’s East Egg dock and barely visible from Gatsby’s West Egg lawn,the green light represents Gatsby’s hopes and dreams for the future.Gatsby associates it with Daisy,and in Chapter 1 he reaches toward it in the darkness as a guiding light to lead him to his goal.Because Gatsby’s quest for Daisy is broadly associated with the American dream,the green light also symbolizes that more generalized ideal.In Chapter 9,Nick compares the green light to how America,rising out of the ocean,must have looked to early settlers of the new nation.
Nick compares the green bulk of America rising from the ocean to the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock.Just as Americans have given America meaning through their dreams for their own lives,Gatsby instills Daisy with a kind of idealized perfection that she neither deserves nor possesses.Gatsby’s dream is ruined by the unworthiness of its object,just as the American dream in the 1920s is ruined by the unworthiness of its object—money and pleasure.Like 1920s Americans in general,fruitlessly seeking a bygone era in which their dreams had value,Gatsby longs to re-create a vanished past—his time in Louisville with Daisy—but is incapable of doing so.When his dream crumbles,all that is left for Gatsby to do is die; all Nick can do is move back to Minnesota,where American values have not decayed

我现在也在读瓦尔登湖 的英文原著呢
我是先从学校图书馆借了一本英汉双语的,看了汉语的译本,觉得不太理想,又翻开读了读原著 瞬间有了一种清风拂面的感觉,于是我也决定读原著
我的办法是这样的,如果在宿舍 就用电脑 ,下一个pdf版 ,这个新浪爱问人上有,再下载一个福昕 阅读器,下一个有道词典,这样在电脑上读就比较容易了,读的时候鼠标放在不认识的单词上有道就告诉你汉语了,我英语还米有你好呢~
去上自习的时候 带好电子词典,不懂的及时查就行,标注在书上,有时间的话可以自己翻译上一段,特有成就感
瓦尔登湖真的是一本不错的书,虽然这样,我还是准备先把译本读一下,网上说徐迟的不错,又有说仲泽的更胜一筹,我打算买仲泽 的修订本 读一下,再看原著,这样比较好理解,再有我们在读原著时不懂的地方也可以通过看经典译本帮助理解~
对于瓦尔登湖,我就是这样来的,

其中chapter&analysis的chapter1

The Great Gatsby is a reflection of the American Dream.Gatsby's life goal was to get enough money to please Daisy.In the end,though,Gatsby was killed due to Daisy's (fatal) mistake,and Daisy and Tom w...

找个空本.先一口气看一章,边看边用铅笔顺手画出觉得很眼熟但不认识或是影响阅读的单词,像暮光之城系列蛮好的,英语不是很生僻很难的,读完后返回去记在本上,查记出意思,再重读原文理解,另外熟背本上单词,这样四章过后就有惊喜 .

　　英文简介：
　　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

了不起的盖茨比里的最后一句话——于是我们继续奋力前行,逆水行舟,被不断地向后推,直至回到往昔岁月.
我的理解是：最后一句作者想表达的意思可能是,我们都不得不随波逐流,不管情愿不情愿.但是真正美好的东西在以前,在我们还年轻懵懂,不谙世事的时候.
希望能够帮到您,

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
应该是原文.
