小说被描述为是有关美国梦的警世故事。以下是小说中的一些著名片段:
"Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."
“每当你想批评别人的时候,请记住,不是世上所有人都拥有像你一样的优越条件。”
"Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
“明天,我们会跑得更快,手臂会伸得更远。我们会奋力向前,逆流而上,而浪潮奔流不歇,将我们推向过去。”
"He had one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it. It faced the whole external world for an instant and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor."
“他露出一种少有的笑容,给人无比安心的感觉。有那么一瞬间,这种微笑面对的是全部永恒的世界,然而又有那么一瞬间,它凝聚到你身上,表现出对你不可抗拒的偏爱。”
"Everyone suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known."
“每个人都认为自己至少怀有一种基本美德,我的则是:我是我所知的少数几个诚实的人之一。”
"I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life."
“我身在其内,又身在其外,生活的多姿多彩既让我着迷,又让我抗拒。”

The reasons "Gatsby" is the Great American Novel
为什么说《了不起的盖茨比》是一部伟大的美国小说
Encoded at the very center of the American's national DNA is admiration for the self-made success story, someone like Jay Gatsby, a "Mr. Nobody from Nowhere" who rises from obscure poverty to immense wealth. "It's the Great American Dream," says Jeff Nilsson, a historian. "It is the story that if you work hard enough, you can succeed."
美国人骨子里都崇拜白手起家的成功故事,小说主人公杰·盖茨比就是如此。他本是一个“无名小辈”,默默无闻、穷困潦倒一跃成为富豪。历史学家Jeff Nilsson评价说:“小说就是伟大的美国梦的写照,说明只要足够努力,就能收获成功。”
