你认识“盖茨比”吗?别误会，这可不是“比尔盖茨”的误写，而是二十世纪美国最伟大小说《The Great Gatsby》(了不起的盖茨比)。如果你看过之前由莱昂纳多主演的改编电影，就一定对他有印象了。1925年4月10日，这本伟大的书由Charles Scribner's Sons次出版(“斯克里布纳之子”公司，以出版Hemingway——海明威的著作而闻名)，然而它直到20世界50年代再版时才风靡世界，甚至成为了高中、大学文学课的教材，就好像我们在语文书中鲁迅、老舍等人的文章一样，“盖茨比”是西方主流社会十分重要的文学作品。下面上海美高学校就带大家一起去看看盖茨比最受欢迎的10句名句：

The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession for the beautiful former debutante Daisy Buchanan. The Great Gatsby explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream.

《The Great Gatsby》揭示了“美国梦”的真实一面。有人曾评论说，作者Fitzgerald(菲茨杰拉德)在该作中展露出的文采，甚至比海明威更胜一筹。不知道你是否喜欢这部极具时代意义的作品呢?4月10日是盖茨比的“90岁生日”，就让小编来帮你从这本书的“文学花圃”中摘出10朵最美丽的“花儿”来品味吧。
