QQ耍流氓了，大家来玩Gtalk吧

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.

这是最好的时代，这是最坏的时代；这是智慧的岁月，这是愚昧的岁月；这是信仰坚定的时代，这是怀疑一切的时代；这是光明的季节，这是黑暗的季节；这是希望之春，这是绝望之冬，我们应有尽有，我们一无所有；我们直登天堂，我们直奔地狱--

简而言之，那个时代跟现在的这个时代非常相像，某些最喧嚣的权威坚持要用形容词的最高级来形容它。说它好，是最高级的；说它不好，也是最高级的。
