世界名著经典开头（双语）

1.幸福的家庭总是相似的，而不幸的家庭则各有各的不幸。

All happy families are happy alike, all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way. 托尔斯泰----《安娜·卡列尼娜》

2. 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 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. 查尔斯·狄更斯---《双城记》

3. 凡是有钱的单身汉，总想娶位太太，这已经成了一条举世公认的真理。It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possessing of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. 简·奥斯汀----《傲慢与偏见》

4. 洛丽塔，我的生命之光，我的欲念之火。我的罪恶，我的剥去，洛-丽-塔：舌尖向上，分三步，从上颚往下轻轻落在牙齿上。洛。丽。塔。Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-Lee-Ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate of tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta.
弗拉基米尔·纳博科夫-----《洛丽塔》

5. . 如果你对我的故事充满好奇，你第一件想要知道的事情一定是我生于何处，童年如何，以及在生下我之前父母的罗曼史，还有David Copperfield是怎样一个烂人。但是坦白地讲，这些我都不想写。

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth。　　
J`D`塞林格---《麦田里的守望者》

6. 在我年轻、幼稚的时候，父亲曾给了我一番教诲，我一直铭记在心：“每当你想要批评别人的时候，”他对我说，“你就记住在这世界上不是人人都享有过你所拥有的优越条件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 one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”
