读书

这是最好的时代，也是最坏的时代;

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times;

这是智慧的时代，也是愚蠢的时代;

it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness;

这是信仰的时代，也是怀疑的时代;

it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity;

这是光明的季节，也是黑暗的季节;

it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness;

这是希望的春天，也是绝望的冬天;

it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair;

我们什么都有，也什么都没有;

we had everything before us, we had nothing before us;

我们正走向天堂之路，也正走向地狱之门。

we were all going direct to Heaven,

we were all going direct the other way.

——狄更斯
