《双城记》经典语录

不要着急，最好的总会在最不经意的时候出现。纵使伤心，也不要愁眉不展，因为你不知道谁会爱上你的笑容。对于世界而言，你是一个人，而对于某个人，你是他的整个世界。

——狄更斯《双城记》

如果你爱一个人，随意而安，让他/她自由地飞，如果最后他/她还是回到你身边，那就是命中注定的。

——狄更斯《双城记》

一生所作所为，此刻最壮最美；生平所知所晓，成仁最善最义。

——狄更斯《双城记》

这是一个最好的时代，

这是一个最坏的时代； 

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。

——狄更斯《双城记》

【雷叔读英文】《双城记》经典语录 Quotes from A Tale of Two Cities

1

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 directly to Heaven, 

we were all going direct the other way. 

这是最好的时代，也是最坏的时代；

这是智慧的时代，也是愚蠢的时代；

这是信任的年代，也是怀疑的年代；

这是光明的季节，也是黑暗的季节；

这是希望的春天，也是失望的冬天；

我们的前途无量，同时又感到希望渺茫；

我们一齐奔向天堂，我们全都走向另一个方向。

I love you not because of who you are, 

but because of who I am when I am with you.

我爱你，不是因为你是一个怎样的人，

而是因为我喜欢与你在一起时的感觉。

No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won‘t make you cry.

没有人值得你流泪，值得让你这么做的人不会让你哭泣。

The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can‘t have them.

失去某人，最糟糕的莫过于，他近在身旁，却犹如远在天边。

Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

纵然伤心，也不要愁眉不展，因为你不知是谁会爱上你的笑容。

To the world, you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

对于世界而言，你是一个人；但是对于某个人，你是他的整个世界。

Just because someone doesn‘t love you the way you want them to, doesn‘t mean they don‘t love you with all they have.

爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的方式来爱你，那并不代表他们没有全心全意地爱你。

Don‘t try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

不要着急，最好的总会在最不经意的时候出现。

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

在遇到梦中人之前，上天也许会安排我们先遇到别的人；在我们终于遇见心仪的人时，便应当心存感激。

Don‘t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。
