4、before us; we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way.Excerpt from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens參考譯文這是一個(gè)最好的時(shí)代，也是一個(gè)最壞的時(shí)代；這是明智的年代，這是愚昧的年代；這是信任的紀(jì)元，這是懷疑的紀(jì)元；這是光明的季節(jié)，這是黑暗的季節(jié)；這是希望的春日，這是失望的冬日；我們面前應(yīng)有盡有，我們面前一無(wú)所有；我們都將直下地獄 英語(yǔ)名篇名段背誦精華03 Equality and greatnessEquality and
