狄更斯《双城记》经典语录
★ 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 ['iːpɒk (纪元、时代) ](=era) of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity [ˌɪnkrə'djuːləti (怀疑、不轻信) ], 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.
这是最好的时代,也是最坏的时代;是智慧的时代,也是愚蠢的时代;是信仰的时代,也是怀疑的时代;是光明的季节,也是黑暗的季节;是充满希望的春天,也是令人绝望的冬天;我们的前途拥有一切,我们的前途一无所有;我们正走向天堂,我们也正直下地狱。
★ A heart well worth winning, and well won. A heart that, once won, goes through fire and water for the winner, and never changes, and is never daunted.
值得去赢得和被赢得是这样一颗心:这颗心一旦赢得,可上刀山,可下火海,永远不变,无所畏惧。
★ The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.
准确地说,建设性和创造性之间的区别是这样:建造的事物只能建好后被人所爱;而创造的事物尚未问世就受人喜爱。
★T o conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.
对所爱的人隐瞒任何事情,都不是我的本性。既然我的心房都已经打开,嘴巴就不能关上。

★ Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration.
家是一个名字,一个非常强大的字眼。它比最为强大的魔法中,巫师说过,神灵回答过的字眼,都更加强大。

人内心有心弦,但最好不要颤动。
