漫画中的现实

英国作家狄更斯《双城记》 的开场白乃世人公认之经典,看到了上世纪初的译文,感觉很有画中的意境,录此。

It was the best of time, it was the worst of time, 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.
——Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities

那是最美好的时代,那是最糟糕的时代;那是个睿智的年月,那是个蒙昧的年月;那是信心百倍的时期,那是疑虑重重的时期;那是阳光普照的季节,那是黑暗笼罩的季节;那是充满希望的春天,那是让人绝望的冬天;我们面前无所不有,我们面前一无所有;我们大家都在直升天堂,我们大家都在直下地狱简而言之,那个时代和当今这个时代是如此相似,因而一些吵嚷不休的权威们也坚持认为,不管它是好是坏,都只能用”最”来评价它。
