列夫·托尔斯泰《安娜·卡列尼娜》
幸福的家庭总是相似的，而不幸的家庭则各有各的不幸。
All happy families are happy alike, all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way.
查尔斯·狄更斯《双城记》
这是最美好的时代，这是最糟糕的时代；这是智慧的年头，这是愚昧的年头；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。我们的前途拥有一切，我们的前途一无所有；我们正走向天堂，我们也正直下地狱。
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.
简•奥斯汀《傲慢与偏见》
凡是有钱的单身汉，总想娶位太太，这已经成了一条举世公认的真理。

Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-Lee-Ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate of tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta.
弗•司各特•菲茨杰拉德《了不起的盖茨比》
在我年轻、幼稚的时候，父亲曾给了我一番教诲，我一直铭记在心：“每当你想要批评别人的时候，”他对我说，“你就记住在这世界上不是人人都享有过你所拥有的优越条件。”
In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since."Whenenver you feel like criticizing anyone," he told me,"just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."
J•D•赛林格《麦田守望者》
你要是真想听我讲，你想要知道的第一件事可能是我在什么地方出生，我倒霉的童年是怎样度过的，我父母在生我之前干些什么，以及诸如此类的大卫· 科波菲尔式废话，可我老实告诉你，我无意告诉你这一切。
If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

马克•吐温《哈克贝里•费恩历险记》

You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", but that ain't no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly.

《瓦尔登湖》（梭罗）
使我们视而不见的光亮，对于我们就是黑暗。当我们清醒时，曙光才会破晓。来日方长，太阳只是颗启明星。

《不能承受的生命之轻》（米兰・昆德拉）
托马斯打开房间的门，按亮了吊灯。特蕾莎看见两张床对放着，一张床边有一个带灯的床头柜。一只巨大的蝴蝶被光线一惊，飞离灯罩，在房间里盘旋。下面，传来钢琴和小提琴微弱的声音。
Tomas turned the key and switched on the ceiling light. Tereza saw two beds pushed together, one of them flanked by a bedside table and lamp. Up out of the lampshade, startled by the overhead light, flew a large nocturnal butterfly that began circling the room. The strains of the piano and violin rose up weakly from below.
《海边的卡夫卡》（村上春树）

《小王子》（圣埃克・苏佩里）

但是，把荆棘刺入胸膛的那一刻，我们是知道的，明明白白。然而，我们依然要这么做，把荆棘刺入胸膛，彻彻底底。

《悲惨世界》（雨果）
不过，已经有年头了，有人用石墨笔写下这四行诗，字迹在雨水和尘土下逐渐漫湮了，或许今日已然消失：他安息。尽管他的命运很离奇，他要活。他死去，只因失去天使；事情自然发生，再也简单不过，就像白天过去，夜幕便要降落。
Only, many years ago, a hand wrote upon it in pencil these four lines, which have become gradually illegible beneath the rain and the dust, and which are, to-day, probably effaced: Il dort. Quoique le sort fut pour lui bien etrange, Il vivait. Il mourut quand il n'eut plus son ange. La chose simplement d'elle-meme arriva, Comme la nuit se fait lorsque le jour s'en va.
《双城记》（查尔斯・狄更斯）

It is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.

《麦田里的守望者》（塞林格）
我只知道我很想念我所谈到的每一个人。甚至老斯特拉德莱塔和阿克莱，比方说。我觉得我甚至也想念那个混帐毛里斯哩。说来好笑。你千万别跟任何人谈任何事情。你只要一谈起，就会想念起每一个人来。
About all I know is, I sort of miss everybody I told about. Even old Stradlater and Ackley, for instance. I think I even miss that goddam Maurice. It's funny. Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.
