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 这是最好的时期，也是最坏的时期；这是智慧的年代，亦是愚蠢的年代；这是充满信仰的纪元，也是怀疑盛行的纪元；这是光辉的季节，亦是暗晦的季节；这是希望之春，也是绝望之冬；我们拥有一切，我们一无所有；我们直接飞升天堂，我们又跨进地狱之门。
