双城记开头原文及翻译
双城记开头原文及翻译如下:
《双城记》原文:这是一个最好的时代,也是一个最坏的时代;这是一个智慧的年代,这是一个愚蠢的年代;这是一个信任的时期,这是一个怀疑的时期。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。
翻译: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。
扩展资料
小说《双城记》中厄弗里蒙得侯爵兄弟的残暴、抢占妇女、草菅人命等一系列行为与狄更斯提倡的人道主义精神背道而驰,像如此这般的恶魔势力必遭到社会的唾弃,厄弗里蒙得兄弟是当时贵族的一个缩影,这样有违人道主义精神的形象必定会被人民抛弃。
小说中马内特医生的以德报怨,为了自己女儿的幸福,将自己发之天性的对厄弗里蒙得家族的憎恶压制心底,用宽容宽恕的心态接纳查尔斯,以及文中最后深爱露西的卡顿为了露西的幸福代替查尔斯上断头台,这一切无不体现狄更斯的人道主义思想。
