“Was Daisy driving?”

“Yes,” he said after a moment,

“but of course I’ll say I was. You see, when we left New York she was very nervous and she thought it would steady her to drive — and this woman rushed out at us just as we were passing a car coming the other way. It all happened in a minute, but it seemed to me that she wanted to speak to us, thought we were somebody she knew. Well, first Daisy turned away from the woman toward the other car, and then she lost her nerve and turned back. The second my hand reached the wheel I felt the shock — it must have killed her instantly.”

“It ripped her open ——”

“Don’t tell me, old sport.” He winced. “Anyhow — Daisy stepped on it. I tried to make her stop, but she couldn’t, so I pulled on the emergency brake. Then she fell over into my lap and I drove on.

“She’ll be all right to-morrow,” he said presently. “I’m just going to wait here and see if he tries to bother her about that unpleasantness this afternoon. She’s locked herself into her room, and if he tries any brutality she’s going to turn the light out and on again.”

“He won’t touch her,’ I said. “He’s not thinking about her.”

“I don’t trust him, old sport.” “How long are you going to wait?”

“All night, if necessary. Anyhow, till they all go to bed.”

A new point of view occurred to me. Suppose Tom found out that Daisy had been driving. He might think he saw a connection in it — he might think anything. I looked at the house; there were two or three bright windows down-stairs and the pink glow from Daisy’s room on the second floor.

“You wait here,” I said. “I’ll see if there’s any sign of a commotion.”

I walked back along the border of the lawn, traversed the gravel softly, and tiptoed up the veranda steps. The drawing-room curtains were open, and I saw that the room was empty. Crossing the porch where we had dined that June night three months before, I came to a small rectangle of light which I guessed was the pantry window. The blind was drawn, but I found a rift at the sill. Daisy and Tom were sitting opposite each other at the kitchen table, with a plate of cold fried chicken between them, and two bottles of ale. He was talking intently across the table at her, and in his earnestness his hand had fallen upon and covered her own. Once in a while she looked up at him and nodded in agreement.

预期收获：

【听】我们每天的内容都是先让大家看着无字幕的电影进行泛听练习，整部电影听下来，你的听力水平绝对会突飞猛进。

【说】由于是以剧本为主导，那么口语化的内容占一大部分，见面时如何打招呼，如何夸别人，如何介绍自己，如何介绍别人，在不同的场合应该怎样交流，这些都是我们的收获。而且大家也可以模仿着电影里人物的语调、嘴型进行发音训练。

【读】整个周期我们会读5000-10000字的英文原著，感受一下菲茨杰拉德的语言魅力，我们的阅读速度也会有非常大的进步。

【写】原著里面的长难句子、重点表达都是我们写作非常好的素材。

【词汇量】一部电影是全方位的，里面会涉及到人的喜、怒、哀、乐等各种情绪的词汇，也会涉及到各种场景、事物、人物、职业、物品等各方面的词汇，所以整个学习周期下来我们的词汇量绝对会有非常大的提升。

【文学素养】《了不起的盖茨比》的问世，奠定了弗·司各特·菲茨杰拉德在现代美国文学史上的地位，成了20年代“爵士时代”的发言人和“迷惘的一代”的代表作家之一。20世纪末，美国学术界权威在百年英语文学长河中选出一百部最优秀的小说，《了不起的盖茨比》高居第二位，并被多次搬上银幕和舞台。村上春树曾这样说过：“如果《了不起的盖茨比》算不上伟大的作品，还有其他什么作品能称得上伟大？”

所以，这部小说绝对是必读数目。深度剖析完这部电影，而且我们带领你读完这本书的精彩片段之后，你就可以自己阅读这本书的剩下部分啦。
