It was the best of times ,it was the worst of times.
It was the age of wisdom ,it was the age of foolishness.
It was the epoch of belief ,it was the epoch of incredulity.
It was the season of light ,it was the season of darkness.
It was the spring of hope ,it was the winter of despair.
We had everything before us ,we had nothing before us .
We were all going direct to the Heaven ,we were all going direct the other way.
— A Tale of Two Cities，Charles Dickens
这是最好的时代，也是最坏的时代；
这是智慧的年代，也是愚蠢的年代；
这是信仰的时期，这是怀疑的时期；
这是光明的季节，这是黑暗的季节；
这是希望的春天，这是失望的冬天；
人们面前应有尽有，人们面前一无所有；
人们正踏上天堂之路，人们正走向地狱之门。
——狄更斯 《双城记》
