曾几何时

There was one time when the whole nation has an upsurge of learning computer skills. Our factory also managed to give some lessons. Things like hard drive, RAM, keyboard, none of them I could understand. I didn't really mean to learn. In a small backward city like ours, the factory business is not promising. The salary of my wife and I put together can barely maintain the everyday life. Computer is an extravagancy that was too remote for us. I once believed that's something I could never afford to buy (about 10, 000 RMB for each at that time). Even if I could afford one, I was interested in it.

曾几何时，神州大地掀起了一股学习计算机的热潮，公司也组织过学习班，什么硬盘，内存，键盘我一个词也听不懂，我也没想学，在我们这样落后的小城，工厂也不景气，俩个人的工资只够维持日常生活，计算机是离我们很遥远的东西，我认为这辈子也不可能买的起，就是买的起我也没想过要那玩艺，呵呵。

We would felicitate ourselves on leaving him/her.During those transient days,we thought we loved him/her deeply.

There was one era when our forebears had been living in the society in which the logic ruled everyone.
