第一卷 起死回生
第一章 时代
 
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.
 
那是最昌明的时世，那是最衰微的时世；那是睿智开化的岁月，那是混沌蒙昧的岁月；那是信仰笃诚的年代，那是疑云重重的年代；那是阳光灿烂的季节，那是长夜晦暗的季节；那是欣欣向荣的春天，那是死气沉沉的冬天；我们眼前无所不有，我们眼前一无所有；我们都径直奔向天堂，我们都径直奔向另一条路——简而言之，那个时代同现今这个时代竟然如此惟妙惟肖，就连它那叫嚷得最凶的权威人士当中，有些也坚持认为，不管它是好是坏，都只能用“最”字来表示它的程度。
