我也有些疑惑。也许在乔丹眼里,让她失望的都是不老实正直的人吧。我不知道是否与盖茨比事件有关系。
原文这样说的:
‘I’m thirty,’ I said. ‘I’m five years too old to lie to myself and call it
honor.’
这个it是指对自己撒谎觉得自己正直诚实而且暗以为荣吧。。。
求大神,原文如下:
‘Nevertheless you did throw me over,’ said Jordan suddenly.‘You threw me over on the telephone. I don’t give adamn about you now but it was a new experience for meand I felt a little dizzy for a while.’
We shook hands.
‘Oh, and do you remember—’ she added, ‘——a conversationwe had once about driving a car?’
‘Why—not exactly.’
‘You said a bad driver was only safe until she met another bad driver? Well, I
met another bad driver, didn’t I ? I mean it was careless of me to make such a
wrong guess. I thought you were rather an honest, straightforward person. I
thought it was your secret pride.’
‘I’m thirty,’ I said. ‘I’m five years too old to lie to myself and call it
honor.’
She didn’t answer. Angry, and half in love with her, andtremendously sorry, I turned away.
