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 Heaven, we were all going direct the other way. ——in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. 那是最美好的时代,那是最糟糕的时代； 那是智慧的年头,那是愚昧的年头； 那是信仰的时期,那是怀疑的时期； 那是光明的季节,那是黑暗的季节； 那是希望的春天,那是绝望的冬天； 我们拥有一切，我们一无所有； 我们全都在直奔天堂,我们全都在直落地狱。 ——简而言之，那时和现在是如此的相像， 不管是最美好的，还是最邪恶的， 那些喧嚣的维权们坚持，只能用形容词的最高级来描述它。 |
