Chapter 3: Jordan Baker's Secret
第3章：乔丹·贝克的秘密
Nick became romantically involved with Jordan Baker, a professional golfer who was staying with the Buchanans. Jordan was beautiful and cynical, representing the careless, sophisticated lifestyle of the wealthy elite. She told Nick about Tom's affair with Myrtle Wilson, a married woman who lived in the Valley of Ashes between West Egg and New York City.
尼克与乔丹·贝克建立了浪漫关系，乔丹是一位职业高尔夫球手，住在布坎南家。乔丹美丽而愤世嫉俗，代表了富有人士轻率精致的生活方式。她告诉尼克关于汤姆与梅特尔·威尔逊的婚外情，梅特尔是一个住在西蛋和纽约市之间的灰烬谷的已婚妇女。
The Valley of Ashes was a desolate industrial wasteland, home to working-class people like George Wilson, Myrtle's husband. George ran a garage and had no idea that his wife was having an affair with the wealthy Tom Buchanan, who visited her regularly in a small apartment above the garage.
灰烬谷是一片荒凉的工业废地，像乔治·威尔逊（梅特尔的丈夫）这样的工人阶级居住在这里。乔治经营着一家修理厂，完全不知道他的妻子与富有的汤姆·布坎南有染，汤姆定期在修理厂上方的小公寓里看望她。
Jordan's cynical worldview and Nick's growing disillusionment with the moral decay of the wealthy class created tension in their relationship. Nick began to question the values of the society he had entered and the authenticity of the friendships he was forming.
乔丹愤世嫉俗的世界观和尼克对富有人士道德沦丧日益增长的幻灭感在他们之间造成了紧张关系。尼克开始质疑他所进入的社会的价值观以及他所建立的友谊的真实性。
