4.Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night, and all the nights to come. --—— George R.R. Martin 《A Song of Ice and Fire
长夜将至，我从今开始守望，至死方休。我将不娶妻、不封地、不生子。我将不戴宝冠、不争荣宠。我将尽忠职守、生死于斯。我是黑暗中的利剑、长城上的守卫、抵御寒冷的烈焰、破晓时分的光线、唤醒眠者的号角、守护王国的坚盾。我将生命与荣耀献给守夜，今夜如此，夜夜皆然。—— 乔治 R.R. 马丁 《 冰与火之歌》

7. 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. —— Charles Dickens《A Tale of Two Cities》
这是最好的时代，这是最坏的时代；这是智慧的时代，这是愚蠢的时代；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，这是失望之冬；人们面前有着各样事物，人们面前一无所有；人们正在直登天堂，人们正在直下地狱。
——查尔斯·狄更斯《双城记》
