Francis Scott Fitzgerald : 司各特.菲茨杰拉德.He was born in St. Paul, Minnesota on september24, 1896. (生于明尼苏达州的圣保罗)He was a most representative figure of the 1920s, who was mirror of the exciting age in almost every way. Thus he is often acclaimed literary spokesman of the Jazz Age. (他是20世纪20年代最有代表性的作家，她在各个方面都反映了那个时代。 因此他被认为早期爵士时代的文学代言人)Works 作品： This Side Of Paradise 人间天堂 1920 The Beautiful and Damned 美丽而遭骂的人1922 The Great Gatsby 了不起的盖茨比1925 Tender is the night 夜色温柔1934 The last tycoon 最后的巨头1940其他作品 Flappers and Philosophers 【吹捧者与哲学家】Tales of the Jazz Age 【爵士时代的故事】All the sad young men 【所有悲惨的小伙子】Taps at reveille 【里维儿的鼓点】Babylon Revisited 【重返巴比伦】 the best short stories 首先， 他的第一部作品， This Side Of Paradise 人间天堂 1920 这篇小说不但给他赢来了荣誉和财富， 而且还让他娶回了泽尔达塞尔 【Zelda Sayre 】. 泽尔达对他个人生活产生可重大影响，她成为他小说中一系列美丽而富有的妇女的形象。 他的第二部作品， The Beautiful and Damned 美丽而遭骂的人1922这部作品使他声望大增。这部小说描述了一个富裕的青年人在不稳定的婚姻中感情和精神的崩溃。这部作品无疑是他们夫妻的原型。 It portrays the emotional collapse of a wealthy young man during an unstable marriage. The couples in the novel were undoubtedly modeled after Fitzgerald himself and Zelda 他的第三部作品，The Great Gatsby 了不起的盖茨比1925， 是一部巨著。他的第四部作品，Tender is the night 夜色温柔1934，讲述了一个美国精神病医生和一位美丽富裕的病人结婚，最后倾尽了自己的精力。 他的第五部作品，The last tycoon 最后的巨头1940 这部作品没有未完成。爵士时代的精神， 是20年代的青年男女对和生活的盲目自信。 因为他们是在世界没有他们的帮助也会变好的观念中长大的。，所以他们在索取公共利益上没有歉疚之情。他们勇于冒险，性生活不检点， 酗酒， 不以冒险为冒险， 花钱无度， 贪欲享乐。 但在轻松享乐之后留下的是颓废和一无所取。 在物质的奢华后事一片精神的荒原和道德的沦丧。 这些在作者笔下都得到了很好的表现。【young men and women in the 1920s had a sense of reckless confidence not only about money but about life in general. Since they grew up with the notion that the world would improve without their help, they felt excused from seeking the common good. Plunging into their personal adventures engaging themselves in casual sex and heavy drinking, they took risks that did not impress them as being risks, and they spent money extravagantly and enjoyed themselves to their hearts content. But beneath their masks of relaxation and joviality their was only sterility, meaninglessness and futility, and amid the grandeur and extravagance a spiritual wasteland and a hint of decadence and moral decay. This undeniable juxtaposition of appearance with reality, of the pretense of gaiety with the tension underneath, is easily recognizable in Fitzgerald novels and stories. 】作者没有回避美国之梦的破灭的问题， 他的小说的主人公由于浪漫生活和严酷现实的碰撞，个人梦想破灭了。 他的许多作品中的中产阶级的小伙子起家后爱上了富家女。 但这个小伙子不但财富本身，还爱金钱给他带来的一切。她这个姑娘， 实际上使他对她的感觉和印象的爱。金钱只是他去实现她梦想的手段， 印象也只是他得到永久幸福的途径。 他的真正的梦想是达到人价值的金字塔上的更高位置。 【the author never spared an intimate touch in his fiction to deal with the bankruptcy of the American dream, which is highlighted by the disillusionment of the protagonist personal drams due to the clashes between their romantic vision of life and the sordid reality. A great number of his stories started with the basic situation in which a rising young man of the middle class is in love with the daughter of a very rich family. The young man is not attracted by the fortune in itself, he is not seeking money so much as what money can bring to him, and he loves the girl not so much as he loves what the girl symbolizes. Money is only a convenient and inadequate symbol for what he dreams of earning, and love merely a vehicle that can transport him to a magic world of eternal happiness. The mans real dream, as Malcolm Cowley suggested, is that of achieving a new status and s new essence, of rising to a loftier place in the mysterious hierarchy of human worth. 】【了不起的盖茨比】中的叙述者 Nick 是个中部年轻人， 在纽约吗买股票。书中有一幅图画：戴着户黄色眼镜的的一副大眼睛，暗示着前途的暗淡。【symbolic of an obscenely futile world 】Fitzgerald is a great stylist in the American literature.
