第2章：神秘的邻居
Nick attended one of Gatsby's legendary parties, fascinated by the endless parade of guests who arrived in expensive automobiles and evening gowns. Despite the music, dancing, and flowing champagne, Gatsby remained aloof, observing his guests from a distance rather than participating in the revelry.
尼克参加了盖茨比传说中的派对之一，对乘坐豪华汽车和晚礼服不断到来的客人们感到着迷。尽管有音乐、舞蹈和流动的香槟，盖茨比仍然保持着疏离，从远处观察他的客人而不是参与狂欢。
The rumors about Gatsby's background were numerous and contradictory. Some claimed he was a German spy during the war, while others said he was an Oxford graduate or the nephew of a German emperor. Everyone speculated about the source of his enormous wealth, but no one seemed to know the truth.
