这是一个最好的时代，也是一个最坏的时代；

这是一个智慧的年代，这是一个愚蠢的年代；

这是一个信任的时期，这是一个怀疑的时期。

这是一个光明的季节，这是一个黑暗的季节；

这是希望之春，这是失望之冬；

人们面前应有尽有，人们面前一无所有；

人们正踏上天堂之路，人们正走向地狱之门。

“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.”

― Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
