那是最美好的时代，那是最糟糕的时代；那是智慧的年头，那是愚昧的年头；那是信仰的时期，那是怀疑的时期；那是光明的季节，那是黑暗的季节；那是希望的春天，那是失望的冬天；我们拥有一切，我们一无所有;我们全都在直奔天堂，我们全都在直奔相反的方向--简而言之，那时跟现在非常相象，某些最喧嚣的权威坚持要用形容词的最高级来形容它。说它好，是最高级的；说它不好，也是最高级的。Thanksforwatching~DJM2012/3/11TheFrenchRevolution(French:Révolutionfrançaise;1789–1799),wasaperiodofradicalsocialandpoliticalupheavalinFrancethathadamajorimpactonFranceandindeedallofEurope.法国大革命（法语：Révolutionfrançaise，1789年–1799年）是一段激进主义在法国乃至欧洲政治及社会层面横行的时期。统治法国多个世纪的绝对君主制封建制度在三年内土崩瓦解。法国在这段时期经历着一个史诗式的转变：过往的封建、贵族和宗教特权不断受到自由主义政治组织及上街抗议的民众的冲击，传统观念逐渐被全新的天赋人权、三权分立等的民主思想所取代。theFrenchRevolution(法国大革命)thehostility(复仇)Dr.ManetteHedamnedtheMarquisSt.Evremonde.ButwhenhewasoutoftheBastilleafter18years,hefoundthathisdoughterfellinlovewiththepersonalenemy'snephew.Hestoppeddamningandtriedtoforgivehim.MadameDefargeShewasthesisterofthegirlwhowaskilledbytheMarquisSt.Evremonde.Whentherevolutionbrokedown,shetriedherbesttochargetheMarquisSt.Evremonde'sfamily.Shewasabravelady,eventhoughshemadesomemistakes.thelove(爱情)LucieandDarnay
