第二天
All happy families are happy alike, all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way.
All successful people are successful alike, all unsuccessful people are unsuccessful in their own way.
diligent(勤奋) Anna Karenina
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.
《双城记》Charles dickens
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possessing of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
