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 doing direct the other way.
这是最幸运的年代，也是最倒霉的年代，这是智慧的年代，也是愚昧的年代；这个时期信仰与怀疑共存，这个时期光明与黑暗共存；这是希望之春，也是失望之冬；人们面前琳琅满目，但又一无所有；我们正直达天堂，我们正直通地狱。
译文：在事前考虑周全，做到未雨绸缪，做事时才不会出现意外和麻烦；事到临头才忧心忡忡，慌忙应对，结果就是无济于事。赏析：做任何事，我们都要提前谋划，凡事做最充足的准备，做最坏的打算。事到临头才寻求解决之法，为时已晚了。
