《了不起的盖茨比》——菲茨杰拉德
在我年纪还轻、阅历尚浅的那些年里，父亲曾经给我过一句忠告，直到今天，这句话仍在我心间萦绕。
“每当你想批评别人的时候，”他对我说，“要记住，这世上并不是所有人，都有你拥有的那些优势。”
In my younger and more vulnerable years ma 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.'

《双城记》——狄更斯
这是最好的时代，这是最坏的时代；
这是智慧的年代，这是愚蠢的年代；
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，这是绝望之冬；
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.

《情人》——杜拉斯
我已经老了。有一天，在一处公共场所的大厅里，有一个男人向我走来，他主动介绍自己，他对我说：“我认识你，我永远记得你。那时候，你还很年轻，人人都说你很美，现在，我是特地来告诉你，对我来说，我觉得你比年轻时还要美，那时你是年轻女人，与你年轻时相比，我更爱你现在备受摧残的容貌。”
One day, I was already old, inthe entrance of a public place a man came up to me. He introduced himself and said:' I've known you for years. Everyone says you were beautiful when you were young, but I want to tell you I think you're more beautiful now than then. Rather than your face as a young woman, I perfer your face as it is now. Ravaged.'
