你要是真想听我讲,你想要知道的第一件事可能是我在什么地方出生,我倒霉的童年是怎样度过的,我父母在生我之前干些什么,以及诸如此类的大卫科波菲尔式废话,可我老实告诉你,我无意告诉你这一
If you really want to hear about it, the first thingyou'll probably want to know is where I wasborn, and what my lousy childhood was like, andhow my parents were occupied and all beforethey had me, and all that David Copperfield kindof crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if youwant to know the truth.

那是一个古怪、闷热的夏天,就是罗森博格因间谍罪名被处死的那个夏天,我不知道我在纽约干什么。
It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer theyelectrocuted the Rosenberg, and I didn't knowwhat I was doing in New York.
这是最美好的时代,这是最糟糕的时代;这是智慧的年头,这是愚昧的年头;这是信仰的时期,这是怀疑的时期;这是光明的季节,这是黑暗的季节;这是希望之春,这是失望之冬。我们的前途拥有一切,我们的前途一无所有; 我们正走向天堂,我们也正直下地狱。
It was the best of times, it was the worst oftimes. It was the age of wisdom, it was the ageof foolishness. It was the epoch of belief, it wasthe epoch of incredulity. It was the season oflight, it was the season of darkness. It was thespring of hope, it was the winter of despair. Wehad everything before us, we had nothingbefore us, we were all going direct to heaven,we were all going direct the other way.
