1、毕业设计/论文外文文献翻译系另i外语学院专业班级英语0702班姓名评分指导教师20年 月1. 弗朗西斯斯科特基菲茨杰拉徳生于1896年9月24日，他的名字源自他 的祖先，美国国歌“星条旗”作者弗朗西斯斯科特基。菲茨杰拉徳在明尼苏 达州的圣保罗长大成人。他虽然聪明，但在学校却成绩不佳，t 1911年被送到 了新泽西州的一所寄宿学校就读。尽管他是个平庸的学生，但还是设法于1913 年进入了普林斯顿大学。他的整个大学时光都被学业上的困难和冷漠所困扰，他 也一直未毕业，在1917年入伍，当时第一次世界大战已接近尾声。菲茨杰拉德成为一名少尉，驻防在亚拉巴马州蒙哥马利的谢里登兵营。在那 里他结识并爱上了一

2、位叫泽尔妲赛耶的17岁任性的美女。泽尔妲终于同意嫁 给他，但是她那对财富、享乐与安逸的极强的欲望使他们的婚礼一直推迟到他能 够证明自己是个成功者时才举行。随着小说这一半天堂于1920年出版，菲 茨杰拉徳成了文学界的轰动人物，赚到了足以说服泽尔妲嫁给他的金钱和名誉。菲茨杰拉德早年的许多事件都在他最箸名的小说，1925年出版的了不起 的盖茨比屮有所体现。正想菲茨杰拉德一样，尼克卡拉韦也是个富有思想的 年轻人。尼克是明尼苏达州人，就读于一所常春藤联合会大学（照他自己的话说 是耶鲁大学），战后移居纽约。和菲茨杰拉德一样，杰伊盖茨比也是个崇拜财 富和箸华的敏感的年轻人，也是在驻防在南方的一个兵营时爱上了

3、一位漂亮的年 轻女了。成为名人之后，菲茨杰拉德陲入了一种放荡不羁、不计后果、花天酒地、充 满颓废的生活方式，与此同时，他竭力写作赚钱以此來取悦泽尔妲。盖茨比同样 也在尚年轻z时便聚敛了大量财富。他一心聚财，醉心于举行宴会，深信这些能 够使他赢得黛酋的爱。不过，随着“繁荣的20年代”的灿烂淡入人萧条的黑暗, 泽尔妲换上了精神崩溃症，菲茨杰拉德则酗酒难以自拔，这妨碍了他的写作。他 于1934年岀版了夜色温柔，并向星期六晚间邮报出售短篇小说，以便维 持他奢侈的生活。1937年，他来到好莱坞撰写脚本，1940年死于心脏病，年仅 44岁，当时他正在创作小说末位巨头z爱。菲茨杰拉德是美国最著名的20世纪2

4、0年代编年史家。那个时代曲他命名为 “爵士乐时代”。了不起的盖茨比写于1925年，是那个时期最伟大的文学性 文献之一。在那个时期，美国的经济蓬勃发展，给美国带來了空前的繁荣。禁酒 令，既由宪法第十八项修正案（1919）所规定的禁止酒的销售与消费的法令，使 非法酿、贩酒者屮的一些人变成了百万富翁，一股狂欢作乐的地下文化也随之崛 起。私下举行的宴会四处蔓延并得以巧妙地避开了警察的注意，“非法酒店”，即 售酒的秘密会所兴旺了起來。第一次世界犬战的混乱与眾力是美国陷入震惊状 态，于是参战的一代人转向了放荡不羁、浮华奢侈的生活方式，以求从屮得到补 偿。一成不变的保守主义和上一个年代陈腐的价值观使他们反感

5、，而金钱、浮华 和奢侈却蔚然成风。正像了不起的盖茨比中的尼克一样，菲茨杰拉徳发觉这种新的生活方式 具有诱惑力，使人感到兴奋，同时也像盖茨比一样，他总是崇拜那些特别富有的 人。现在他发现白己处于一个毫无节制的物质主义为社会主旋律的时代，特别是 东部大城市。尽管如此，正如尼克，菲茨杰拉德也透过爵士乐时代的光华看到了 隐藏在卜面的道德空虚与虚伪，所以他的部分口我渴望得到缺失道德核心。了 不起的盖茨比在许多方面都表明，菲茨杰拉德试图直面自己对于爵士乐时代的 矛盾情感。就像盖茨比，菲茨杰拉徳一直被对那个象征他所有愿望的的女人的爱 所左右，即使这个女人要他做的一切都是他所唾弃的。双语名著导读 了不起的盖茨

6、比2. “要不是有雾，我们就能看见海湾对面的你家。”盖茨比说，“你家那边码头 的尽头总有一盏通宵不灭的绿灯。”戴西嫣然伸过手臂去挽他的手臂，但他似乎迷失在自己刚才所说的话里，可 能他突然想到那盏灯的巨大意义现在永远消失了。与那把他跟戴两分开的遥远的 距离和比较，那盏灯曾经似乎离她很近，几乎碰得着她，就好像一颗星星离月亮 那么近一样。现在它又是码头上的一盏绿灯了。他心冃中的宝贝已经减少了一件。外面的风呼呼的刮，海湾上传來一阵隐隐的雷声。此刻，西卵所有的灯都亮 了。电动火车满载归客，在雨中从纽约疾驰而来。这是人性发生深刻变化的时刻, 一种令人兴奋的气息在空气屮凝聚。我告辞的时候，看到那种困惑的表情

7、又回到了盖茨比脸上，仿佛他有点怀疑 他h前幸福的品质。快五年了！那天下午，戴西的表现一定有令他失望的时候； 这并不是她本人的过错，而是由于他的幻梦有巨大的活力。他的幻梦超越了她， 超越了一切。他一一种创造性的热情投入了这个幻梦，不停的添枝加叶，用飘过 的每一根绚丽的羽毛加以装饰。再多再人的激情或是活力，其能量也比不上一个 凄凉的心灵所集聚的情思。我注视着他的时候，看得出来他在悄悄调整自己，以适应眼前的现实。他的 手抓住她的手。她在他耳边轻声低语，引得他感悄冲动地转向她。我想，最令人 不能门已的是她那高低起伏、狂热激昂的声咅，因为那是无论怎样梦想都不能企 及的一一那是一首永恒的歌1山。他们已经把

8、我忘了：戴西仅仅抬起头来瞥了一眼，仲出了手；盖茨比此时完 全不认识我了。我又看了他俩一眼；他们也回看我，由于沉浸在强烈的感情之屮， 仿佛离我非常遥远。于是，我走出屋子，走下大理石台阶，走进雨小，让他们两 人在一起。3. 从一开始，菲茨杰拉德就察觉到了写一部以“梦想”为主题的小说的可能 性。在与了不起的盖茨比同年代创作的文学作品中，菲茨杰拉德都谈到了人 们努力追求无法实现的美国梦这一主题。尽管美国梦终将破灭，可是再没有什么 比经历一场刻骨铭心的爱情更重要的了。然而，盖茨比对戴西的爱除了幻灭，这 种以实现美国梦为慰藉的爱还给他带来了什么？了不起的盖茨比新论4. 马克吐温和威廉迪恩豪威尔斯在成长的过

9、程中都认为美国会成为世界 的希望，然而却是在痛苦屮老去。和他们一样，菲茨杰拉徳和海明威年轻的时候 对他们生活的这个新世界也满怀激情，然而最后却意识到这一切与成功毫不相 关，那只是一场巨大的灾难。菲茨杰拉德生活在“怒吼的二十年代”中间，并且 自己也是其中的一员一一飙车、饮烈酒，乐此不疲。他已经清楚地了解到，美国 就是“永远不曾升起的月亮”。尽管菲茨杰拉德快乐地度过了战后经济繁荣的几 年时间，但他还是预测到了美国最后的尼运和惨痛结局。美国文学简史5. 孤独、酗酒、意识到自c写作犬赋的消逝，最终菲茨杰拉徳垮掉了。甚至 是在他们度过的最美好的h子里，作为一位艺术家，他始终感到在自己和泽尔达 身处“名利

10、场”里，却没有丝毫归属感。菲茨杰拉徳清醒地意识到自己与此格格 不入。作为一个曾经致力于自己理想的人，菲茨杰拉德过早的意识到周围环境所 具有的欺骗性，在精神上他与自己生活屮一切都很疏远。菲茨杰拉德一直就是一 个酒瘾很大的人，当他悲剧性的生活变得一团糟时，他企图在酒精里寻求安慰。 然而最后正是酗酒断送了菲茨杰拉德。对于一个把艺术看得比任何事情都垂耍的 人来说，没有比敏锐的意识到为了赚钱才给受欢迎的杂志写一些垃圾文章來浪费 自己的才华的事更让菲茨杰拉德痛苦的了。菲茨杰拉德的一 生都为不能集中精力 写作和从整体上提高自己的艺术天赋而饱受折磨。美国文学简史6. 他也许应该鄙视自己，因为他确实用欺骗的手段

11、占有了她，我不是说他谎称 自己家财万贯。但是他有意给戴西一种安全感，让她相信他的出身门第不亚于她, 相信他完全有能力照顾她。实际上，他并没有这种能力一一他身后没有背景优越 的家庭撑腰，而只只要毫无人情味的政府一声令下，他随时都可能被派到世界的任何角落。但是，他并没有看低自己。而事情的发展也并不像原来想彖的那样。他起初 很可能打算及时行乐，然后一走了z,但是，他发现自己已献身于一种神圣的理 想。他知道戴西不同寻常，但他并没有认识到一位“大家闺秀”究竟有多么不同 寻常。她消失在她那豪华的住宅里，消失在那丰富美满的生活里，给盖茨比留下 一片虚无。他却觉得自己已经和她结婚了，整个事情就是这样。了不起的
