1 a thinly disguised fictional account of Fitzgerald’s Princeton years 意思是：这部小说是作者本人在普林斯顿那几年生活的稍加掩饰后的描述。文字你自己整理。
2 作家写小说，卖出去后才会有钱。直到下一步小说写出并卖出去，才能再有钱。二部小说之间这段时间是没有钱的进账的。所以sustain himself and his family between novels 意为，在下一部小说卖出去之前维持他自己和他的家庭的生活。
3 to mixed reviews and disappointing sales 为结果状语，褒贬不一的书评和令人失望的销售。
