"Then and now"

¡Hola a todos!

Quiero decir "then and now" en el español, pero no sé cómo debería expresarlo. Supongo que la traslación literal es "Entonces y ahora", pero sé que eso no puede ser correcto.

¿Puede alguien ayudarme? Gracias LOL

Corrijan mi español -- por favor, sea duro!

Just so you have a background, I'm doing a side by side comparison of something that happened in the past and how that has affected modern times. - SonrisaDelSol, Sep 17, 2011

I'm not sure I have a better answer, but I want to clarify "entonces" ...

Since "entonces" is more like, because of this "then" ...

From http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/entonces,

Only the first two definitions of entonces refers to "because of this then"

All the other indicates a point in time.

then

si no te gusta, entonces no vayas -> if you don't like it, then don't go

si no ha llegado, entonces tiene que estar en la oficina -> if he hasn't arrived yet, then he must still be at the office

el entonces primer ministro -> the then prime minister

desde entonces -> since then

en o por aquel entonces -> at that time

entonces, ¿vienes o no? -> are you coming or not, then?

Then, at that time, on that occasion.

Desde entonces -> since then

Las costumbres de entonces -> the customs of the time

Fue entonces que ->

No fue hasta entonces -> it wasn’t till then

Since "entonces" is more like, because of this "then" that, I wonder if it's "antes y ahora"?

Otra pregunta buena.
