司各特.菲茨杰拉德的小说,从工业化、城市化和移民化三个方面对美国20世纪初的现代化革命进行了反思。代表美国道德堕落的汽车工业,发展成有闲阶级炫耀财富的手段,而车祸同时对人类产生毁灭性的影响;农业化的西部,受到城市化程度高的东部的吸引,也导致传统道德影响力的消退;同时对外来移民脱离母国文化向殖民者宣扬的“先进”文明靠拢的趋势,也给予了关注。
Scott Fitzgerald’s novels reflect on the modernization of the United States in the early 20th century from three aspects: industrialization, urbanization and immigration.

The westernized agriculture, attracted by the more urbanized east, also caused traditional moral influence At the same time, attention has also been given to the tendency of immigrants to move closer to the “advanced” civilizations that their homeland culture has preached to colonialists.
