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[時期] of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity[懷疑], 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.
那是最美好的時代,也是最糟糕的時代;那是智慧的年頭,也是愚昧的年頭;那是信仰的時期,也是懷疑的時期;那是光明的季節,也是黑暗的季節;那是希望的春天,也是失望的冬天;我們擁有一切,卻也一無所有;我們全都在直奔天堂,也全都在直奔相反的方向。
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.
我現在做的遠比我所做過的一切都美好;我將獲得的休息遠比我所知道的一切都愉悅。
I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.
我愛你,不是因為你是誰,而是因為與你在一起時,我才是最真實的我。
No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won’t make you cry.
沒有人值得你流淚,值得讓你這么做的人不會讓你哭泣。
The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can’t have them.
失去某人,最糟糕的莫過于,他近在身旁,卻猶如遠在天邊。
Never frown[皺眉], even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
縱然傷心,也不要愁眉不展,因為你不知道誰將會愛上你的笑容。
To the world, you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world.
對于世界而言,你是一個人;但是對于某個人,你是他的整個世界。
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.
愛你的人如果沒有按你所希望的方式來愛你,那并不代表他們沒有全心全意地愛你。
Don’t try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.
不要著急,最好的總會在最不經意的時候出現。
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[感激的].
在遇到夢中人之前,上天也許會安排我們先遇到別的人;所以,在我們終于遇見心儀的人時,我們便應當心存感激。
Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
不要因為結束而哭泣,為你的曾經擁有,微笑吧。
