【正文】 were very enthusiastic and excited about this new world they were living in but lived to realize eventually that, instead of success, it was all disaster. For Fitzgerald, who lived in the midst of the roaring twenties and was part of it alldriving fast cars, drinking hard whisky, and taking an immense delight in it, America was, he was perceptive enough to 9 understand, a moon that never rose. As much as he enjoyed the roaring of the postwar boom years, he foresaw its doom and failure. 常耀信 . A Survey of American Literature [M]. Tianjin: Nankai University Press, 2021, pp. 218. 5. Three things eventually bined to break him down: loneliness, alcohol, and the awareness that he was dissipating his talent. Even in their best days together, Scott Fitzgerald, as an artist, was sober enough to feel alien to the vanity fair of which both he and Zelda were an integral part, and as a man at once infatuated with an ideal and emaciated by an unduly early awareness of its deceptive character, he had always stood mentally aloof from the spectacle which kept passing before him. Fitzgerald was always a heavy drinker. As his life became a tragic mess, he tried to find solace in his cups. It as alcohol as much as anything that killed him in the end. To a man who valued artistic integrity over and above anything else, nothing hurt more than the acute consciousness that, by writing trash for popular magazines in order to make money, he was frittering away his talent. Fitzgerald was tormented virtually all his life by the fact that he could not concentrate on the novel and the improvement of his art in general. 常耀信 . A Survey of American Literature [M].

I don39。t mean that he had traded on his phantom millions, but he had deliberately given Daisy a sense of security。 he let her believe that he was a person from much the same stratum as herselfthat he was fully able to take care of her. As a matter of fact, he had no such facilitieshe had no fortable family standing behind him, and he was liable at the whim of an impersonal government to be blown anywhere about the world. But he didn39。t despise himself and it didn39。t turn out as he had imagined. He had intended, probably, to take what he could and gobut now he found that he had mitted himself to the following of a grail. He knew that Daisy was extraordinary, but he didn39。t realize just how extraordinary a nice girl could be. She vanished into her rich house, into her rich, full life, leaving Gatsbynothing. He felt married to her, that was all. 10 Barney, Daniel. The Great Gatsby [M]. Beijing: Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press, 2021, .
