经典英文著作开场白
一本举世闻名的著作，必定有一个脍炙人口的开场白，不信你看：
“话说天下大势，分久必合，合久必分.....”是《三国演义》的开场白
“混沌未分天地乱，茫茫渺渺无人见。自从盘古破鸿蒙，开辟从兹清浊辨。覆载群生仰至仁，发明万物皆成善。欲知造化会元功，须看西游释厄传......”是《西游记》的开场白。
经典英文著作开场白
All children,except one,grow up.
所有孩子都长大了，除了一个例外。
-----詹姆斯·马修·巴利《彼得·潘》
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 ofLight, 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.
那是最美好的时代，那是最糟糕的时代；那是智慧的年头，那是愚昧的年头；那是信仰的时期，那是怀疑的时期；那是光明的季节，那是黑暗的季节；那是希望的春天，那是失望的冬天；我们拥有一切，我们一无所有；人们正在直登天堂，也在直下地狱。
-----查尔斯·狄更斯《双城记》
The sunshine, having no alternative, on the nothing new.
太阳照常升起，一切都没有改变。
---塞缪尔•贝克特《墨菲》
In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I ve been turning over in my mind ever since."Whenever you feel like criticizing any more"he told me,"just remember that all the people in the world haven t had the advantages that you ve had."
我年纪还轻、阅历不深的时候，我父亲教导过我一句话，我至今念念不忘，“每逢你想要批评任何人的时候”，他对我说，“你就记住，这个世界上所有的人，并不是个个都有过你拥有的那些优越条件的。”
----弗·司各特·菲茨杰拉德《了不起的盖茨比》
