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.

那是最美好的時代，那是最糟糕的時代;那是智慧的年頭，那是愚昧的年頭;那是信仰的時期，那是懷疑的時期;那是光明的季節(jié)，那是黑暗的季節(jié);那是希望的春天，那是失望的冬天。

We had everything before us，we had nothing before us， we were all going direct to Heaven，we were all going direct the other way.

我們擁有一切，我們一無所有;人們正在直登天堂，也在直下地獄。
