A Tale of Two Cities (1859) is a historical novel by Charles Dickens. The plot centres on the years leading up to the French Revolution and culminates in the Jacobin Reign of Terror. It tells the story of two men, Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton, who look similar but are very different in personality. Darnay is a romantic French aristocrat, while Carton is a cynical English barrister. However, the two are in love with the same woman, Lucie Manette. The novel concludes with the death of Sydney Carton. If he had any chance to express his thoughts, they would be full of prophecy: Monsieur Defarge himself be sent to the guillotine, and a future child of Charles and Lucie Darnay named after Carton.

Introduction
The book’s title :A Tale of Two Cities Genre: fiction Author’s name: Charles Dickens Publication:1859
查尔斯.达雷

Charles Darnay – A young French noble of the Evrémonde family. In disgust at the cruelty of his family to the French peasantry, he has taken on the name “Darnay” (after his mother„s maiden name, D‟Aulnais) and left France for England. He exhibits an admirable honesty in his decision to reveal to Doctor Manette his true identity as a member of the infamous Evrémonde family. So, too, does he prove his courage in his decision to return to Paris at great personal risk to save the imprisoned Gabelle. 查尔 斯.达雷

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;我们全都在直奔天堂， 我们全都在直奔相反的方向--简而言之，那时跟现 在非常相象，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。

Highlights

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.
