- It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,
这是一个最好的时代,这是一个最坏的时代; - it was the age of wisdom, it was the age offoolishness,
这是一个智慧的年代,这是一个愚蠢的年代; - it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,
这是一个信仰的时期,这是一个怀疑的时期; - it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness,
这是一个光明的季节,这是一个黑暗的季节; - it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,
这是希望之春,这是失望之冬; - 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.
我们全都在直奔天堂,我们全都在直奔相反的方向--简而言之,那时跟现在非常相象,某些最喧嚣的权威坚持要用形容词的最高级来形容它。说它好,是最高级的;说它不好,也是最高级的。
