从某地运进来
I had the gates brought in from a castle in Normandy.The Great Gatsby · 2013 — 第 9 / 18 章 · 7'41" · B2
盖茨比拉着黛西和尼克看豪宅:诺曼底运来的大门、整面墙 catch the light(迎着光、反光)的宅子,还有高尔夫和新相机。最戳人的是那堆衬衫,一句 If it wasn't for(要不是因为)没说完,黛西就哭了。想夸东西美到失态、或说「要不是因为…」,这场戏全是好素材。
盖茨比带黛西和尼克参观自己在西卵的豪宅:大门是从诺曼底一座城堡运来的,宅子整面墙 catch the light(迎着光、反光),他还拿出最新款相机、张罗打高尔夫。走进堆满衬衫的房间,他把衬衫一件件往空中抛,黛西看着看着忽然流泪——那堆衬衫让她想起这些年。之后两人走到窗边,望向码头尽头那盏绿灯,一句 If it wasn't for(要不是因为)这场雾,就能看见它:说出口的是遗憾,藏起来的是这五年。想夸一个东西美到失态、想用「要不是因为…」找个由头,或想描述触景生情的场面,这一场的表达都能用上。

从某地运进来
I had the gates brought in from a castle in Normandy.使役结构:have 后面接东西再接过去分词,表示让人把某物做好、送来。大门不是他自己搬的,是买来运来的,一句话就把排场说尽。
I had the gates brought in from a castle in Normandy.brought in from 里 brought 和 in 连读,in 的 n 又和 from 相接,三词几乎连成一体。

- ...all alone? - Well, I don't.让它总是挤满

The house looks well, doesn't it?迎着光、反光(角度对了才亮起来)
豪宅巡礼时,盖茨比让尼克看房子正面怎么迎着光:See the way the whole front catches the light like that?
See the way the whole front catches the light like that?(该)怎么做
I'll show you how it's done.真是个粗人;太莽撞了

He sends over a selection at...……的开始
...the beginning of each season.将不得不
You're going to have to refold...每一件;任何一个

Five lost years...这么漂亮的衬衫
盖茨比把一柜柜衬衫扔给黛西看,黛西把头埋进衬衫里哭了起来,说的正是 such beautiful shirts。

盖茨比在豪宅里望向海湾对岸,对黛西说雾挡住了那盏绿灯。
If it wasn't for the mist...在……的尽头
...at the end of your dock.(某人)忽然想到
...it had occurred to Gatsby that...形式主语:it occurred to 人 that 是固定说法,表示某人忽然想到,it 是形式主语,真正的内容放在 that 后面。
...it had occurred to Gatsby that...巨大的意义
...the colossal significance of that light...少了一件;被减掉一个
尼克在旁白里说,绿灯的意义消失后,盖茨比心里那些神圣的东西又少了一件。
And his count of enchanted objects had diminished by one.曾经是
He used to be my best friend many years ago.很多剪报
These are a lot of clippings I collected.落得一场空
...end in nothing. Come home.等着、盼着
I'll be here waiting and hoping...成真;实现
...long dream of you to come true.一个小镇
He must know what a small town is.世上;人世间
I wish I'd done everything on earth with you.on earth 里 on 的 n 和 earth 的元音连读,听起来像 one-earth。
I wish I'd done everything on earth with you.虚拟语气:wish 后面的从句用 could,表示与现在事实相反的愿望,明知做不到才说希望永远这样,甜里带着预兆。
I wish it could always be like this.Because I've never seen such beautiful shirts before.因为我从没见过这么漂亮的衬衫。 一句听上去答非所问的话,把五年的委屈、物质的眩目和无法言说的爱一起塞进一件衬衫里,越简单越让人心碎。
And his count of enchanted objects had diminished by one.而他那些被施了魔法的物件,又少了一件。 把一个人心里的神圣清单写成可以清点的物件,绿灯熄灭的同时,某样东西被悄悄划掉,冷静的措辞里全是失落。
He used to be my best friend many years ago.很多年前,他是我最好的朋友。 用「曾经是」三个字把一段改变命运的关系压缩好,也把丹·科迪这个人和他背后的钱路轻轻带过。
I wish it could always be like this.真希望能永远这样。 把最普通的一句心愿放在最奢华的一刻之后,越幸福越像告别;wish 加 could 也先替观众说出了不可能。
意思是「要不是因为……」,指某个条件改变,结果就会不同。台词里 If it wasn't for the mist, we could see the green light 就是「要不是这场雾,本来能看见那盏绿灯」,带着点遗憾。
such beautiful shirts。such 加形容词再带名词,用来强调「这么、如此」。台词里 Because I've never seen such beautiful shirts before 就是「因为我从没见过这么漂亮的衬衫」,听上去既惊叹又动情。
字面是「接住光」,实际指表面迎着光、反光,角度对了才亮起来。台词里 See the way the whole front catches the light,是在夸宅子整面墙在光线里的效果,写景写物都能用。
意思是「少了一件、被减掉一个」,是很书面的说法。叙述者用它讲那盏绿灯失去了魔力:他那些被施了魔法的物件又少了一件,听着比简单的 one less 更文气。
盖茨比把衬衫一件件抛向空中,她看着看着就哭了,只说从没见过这么漂亮的衬衫。表面是惊叹,其实是被眼前的心意和错过的五年一起击中,情绪忽然绷不住。
