这是一个最好的时代，也是一个最坏的时代-Charles Dickens

"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."

"这是一个最好的时代，这是一个最坏的时代，这是智慧的时代，这是愚蠢的时代，这是信仰的时期，这是怀疑的时期，这是光明的季节，这是黑暗的季节，这是希望的春天，这是绝望的冬天，我们拥有一切，我们一无所有，我们都在直奔天堂，我们都在直奔另一个方向 — 简言之，那个时期与现在时期相似，以至于一些最喧嚣的权威坚持认为，它应该只以比较的最高级程度来评价，不论是好是坏。"
