英文書籍金句

The following are some of the most
famous quotes from English Literature.

1.
To be, or not to be, that is the question.
人死後，是存在，還是幻滅；這確實是一個難題。

( 王子復仇記 Hamlet by William Shakespear)

呢個名句曾經比人多次改寫，多數係搞笑的，例如:
To be or not to be married, that is a question. (嫁定唔嫁好呢? 呢個真係一個難題...)
To buy or not to buy, that is a question. (買定唔好買呢? 呢個的確考起我...)

2.
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...

這是最好的年代，也是最壞的年代；
這是智慧的時代，也是愚蠢的時代。
這是信仰的時期，又是懷疑的時期；
這是光明的季節，亦是黑暗的季節...
(雙城記 A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens)

呢句係雙城記的開頭...
出名的原因，係因為呢句有強烈對比同埋有矛盾，好特別。
很多人演講時, 都會用呢句來做intro。


3.
Frailty, thy name is woman!
弱者，你的名字是女人！
(王子復仇記 Hamlet by William Shakespear)

莎士比亞曾因此句，被評為性別歧視的例子...
