About half way between West Egg and New York the motor road hastily joins
the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile, so as to shrink
away from a certain desolate area of land. This is a valley of ashes — a
fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and
grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and
rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly
and already crumbling t... 阅读全帖 |

不过现在觉得LIRR很亲切，呵呵。在LIRR上还读过一遍呢。不过，在495上看不见the
eyes of Eckleburg了
恩 听说电影把结尾内个green light 具化了 我觉得是很好笑的事

发帖数: 82482 | 3 最近在重读这本书。上次读的时候，还是在我 younger and more vulnerable years，
对于长岛和曼哈顿的地名根本就没有概念，其中这些地名所evoke的形象和气氛完全没
有感觉，所以对于书的欣赏也很有限……
现在，对于纽约和长岛的地名，这些地方的掌故有了了解以后，重新读这本书，感觉又
是一种感觉。对于语言上的领悟，原来读的时候也没有，现在才发现书里面字里行间的
含义……
原来二十年代的时候长岛铁路就停在Penn station了，在city里面上班的人就开始LIRR
commute了，呵呵
不过，那个Dr. T.J Eckleburg's eyes还是要Google一下才明白……

I went to bed early tonight, much earlier than usual, partly because of my
persisting flu, and also because i wanted to finish this book i had been
reading for the last couple of days. It started kind of slow but somewhere
between last night and late this afternoon in the smoking room it started to
get intense and compelling. Now i've finished it, sadness spreads across my
heart like the hint of the looming autumn gloom on this drizzling early
Sep night. and i felt this u |

What can I say, they are of high quality yet it is sad to follow the doomed
tragedy of Gatsby. When we are looking upward at greatness on the earth, we
just didn't realize that the greatness has already passed us into the eternal
past, and we are the beat generation with lost dreams.
Just finished reading Haruki Murakami's Sputnik Sweetheart.

发帖数: 720 | 6 Time and memory and past are as thick as forest that so many writers like to
go back to again and again. There were moments that I was overwhelmed then
bored by their nostalgia; then I tried to picture ancient Greeks' way, that
they thought past was in front of them and future behind. An introspective
author probably adopted the similiar attitude, by facing with past and walking
backward into future.

发帖数: 49 | 8 这篇笔记本来是想象那篇"eyes of Eckleburg"一样用英文写的，因为阅读的过程中很多
想法都自然而然的也是用英文思维，不过毕竟我的英文比较烂，还是用中文比较不容易词
不达意，不过文章中也许会时常用一些英文句子，希望看的人不要介意。
决定看这本书完全是因为它名气很大，说实话很大一部份看得很艰难，一方面是因为对小
说的主题完全没有共鸣，另一个原因是整部小说的文字相当艰涩，因为英文并不是Naboko
v的母语，所以在行文遣词上经常给人overly
done的感觉。所以有时候会看得非常的frustrated，特别是那些经常出现的一句七八行的
句子，跳过去又不忍心，完全把它看明白又觉得很费周折。不过整体来说，文字优美是这
部小说卓然不群的一个重要原因，在小说中段，其文字的吸引力恐怕是我坚持阅读的唯一
动力。作为一个母语是俄文，大部份时间又用法文写作的作家，能把第三语言运用得如此
得心应手，本身就是一种说明：虽然翻译在绝大多数时候是文学创作的天敌，但文学审美
是可以跨越语言的界限的。
所以是这样：阅读这本书总体上讲是很艰涩的一个过程，我先先后后花了将近一个半月才
看完。但是必须要说的是 |
