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. (Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities)
Это было самое прекрасное time, it was the worst time - a century of wisdom, the age of madness, the days of faith, the days of disbelief, it's time to light, it is time of darkness, the spring of hope, cold despair, we had everything ahead of us in front there was nothing, we then hovered in the sky, then suddenly falls into the pit - in other words, the time it was very similar to the present, and most vociferous its members are now and then demanded that of him - whether good or bad sense - did not speak except in superlatives.
(Per. Bogoslovskii, S. Bobrov)
