Barack Obama: 奥巴马2008年3月18日的演讲《更加完善的联邦》是他总统竞选活动中最重要的演讲之一。

第九课马克吐温——美国的一面镜子(节选)诺埃尔格罗夫在大多数美国人的心目中，马克吐温是位伟大作家，他描写了哈克费恩永恒的童年时代中充满诗情画意的旅程和汤姆索亚在漫长的夏日里自由自在历险探奇的故事。

的确，这位美国最受人喜爱的作家的探索精神、爱国热情、浪漫气质及幽默笔调都达到了登峰造极的程度。

但我发现还有另一个不同的马克吐温——一个由于深受人生悲剧的打击而变得愤世嫉俗、尖酸刻薄的马克吐温，一个为人类品质上的弱点而忧心忡忡、明显地看到前途是一片黑暗的人。

印刷工、领航员、邦联游击队员、淘金者、耽于幻想的乐天派、语言尖刻的讽刺家：马克吐温原名塞缪尔朗赫恩克莱门斯，他一生之中有超过三分之一的时间浪迹美国各地，体验着美国的新生活，尔后便以作家和演说家的身分将他所感受到的这一切介绍给全世界。

他的笔名取自他在蒸汽船上做工时听到的报告水深为两口寻(12英尺)——意即可以通航的信号语。

他的作品中有二十几部至今仍在印行，其外文译本仍在世界各地拥有读者，由此可见他的享誉程度。

在马克吐温青年时代，美国的地理中心是密西西比河流域，而密西西比河是这个年轻国家中部的交通大动脉。

龙骨船、平底船和大木筏载运着最重要的商品。

木材、玉米、烟草、小麦和皮货通过这些运载工具顺流而下，运送到河口三角洲地区，而砂糖、糖浆、棉花和威士忌酒等货物则被运送到北方。

在19世纪50年代，西部领土开发高潮到来之前，辽阔的密西西比河流域占美国已开发领土的四分之三。

1857年，少年马克吐温作为蒸汽船上的一名小领航员踏人了这片天地。

在这个新的工作岗位上，他接触到的是各式各样的人物，看到的是一个多姿多彩的大干世界。

他完全地投身到这种生活之中，经常在操舵室里听着人们谈论民间争斗、海盗抢劫、私刑案件、游医卖药以及河边的一些化外民居的故事。

所有这一切，连同他那像留声机般准确可靠的记忆所吸收的丰富多彩的语言，后来都有机会在他的作品中得以再现。

蒸汽船的甲板上不仅挤满了富有开拓精神的人们，而且也载着一些娼妓、赌棍和歹徒等社会渣滓。

Mark Twain ---Mirror of AmericaNoel Grove--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Most Americans remember Mark Twain as the father of Huck Finn's idyllic cruise through eternal boyhood and Tom Sawyer's endless summer of freedom and adventure. In-deed, this nation's best-loved author was every bit as adventurous, patriotic, romantic, and humorous as anyone has ever imagined. I found another Twain as well – one who grew cynical, bitter, saddened by the profound personal tragedies life dealt him, a man who became obsessed with the frailties of the human race, who saw clearly ahead a black wall of night.Tramp printer, river pilot ,Confederate guerrilla, prospector, starry-eyed optimist, acid-tongued cynic: The man who became Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens and he ranged across the nation for more than a third of his life, digesting the new American experience before sharing it with the world as writer and lecturer. He adopted his pen name from the cry heard in his steamboat days, signaling two fathoms (12 feet) of water -- a navigable depth. His popularity is attested by the fact that more than a score of his books remain in print, and translations are still read around the world.The geographic core, in Twain's early years, was the great valley of the Mississippi River, main artery of transportation in the young nation's heart. Keelboats ，flatboats , and large rafts carried the first major commerce. Lumber, corn, tobacco, wheat, and furs moved downstream to the delta country; sugar, molasses , cotton, andwhiskey traveled north. In the 1850's, before the climax of westward expansion, the vast basin drained three-quarters of the settled United States.Young Mark Twain entered that world in 1857 as a cub pilot on a steamboat. The cast of characters set before him in his new profession was rich and varied a cosmos . He participated abundantly in this life, listening to pilothouse talk of feuds , piracies, lynchings ,medicine shows, and savage waterside slums. All would resurface in his books, together with the colorful language that he soaked up with a memory that seemed phonographicSteamboat decks teemed not only with the main current of pioneering humanity, but its flotsam of hustlers, gamblers, and thugs as well. From them all Mark Twain gained a keen perception of the human race, of the difference between what people claim to be and what they really are. His four anda half year s in the steamboat trade marked the real beginning of his education, and the most lasting part of it. In later life Twain acknowledged that the river had acquainted him with every possible type of human nature. Those acquaintanceships strengthened all his writing, but he never wrote better than when he wrote of the people a-long the great stream.When railroads began drying up the demand for steam-boat pilots and the Civil War halted commerce, Mark Twain left the river country. He tried soldiering for two weeks with a motley band of Confederate guerrillas who diligently avoided contact with the enemy. Twain quit after deciding, "... I knew more about retreating than the man that invented retreating. "He went west by stagecoach and succumbed to the epidemic of gold and silver fever in Nevada's Washoe region. For eight months he flirted with the colossalwealth available to the lucky and the persistent, and was rebuffed . Broke and discouraged, he accepted a job as reporter with the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise, to literature's enduring gratitude.From the discouragement of his mining failures, Mark Twain began digging his way to regional fame as a newspaper reporter and humorist. The instant riches of a mining strike would not be his in the reporting trade, but for making money, his pen would prove mightier than his pickax. In the spring of 1864, less than two years after joining the Territorial Enterprise, he boarded the stagecoach for San Francisco, then and now a hotbed of hopeful young writers.Mark Twain honed and experimented with his new writing muscles, but he had to leave the city for a while because of some scathing columns he wrote. Attacks on the city government, concerning such issues asmistreatment of Chinese, so angered officials that he fled to the goldfields in the Sacramento Valley. His descriptions of the rough-country settlers there ring familiarly in modern world accustomed to trend setting on the West Coast. "It was a splendid population – for all the slow, sleepy, sluggish-brained sloths stayed at home... It was that population that gave to California a name for getting up astounding enterprises and rushing them through with a magnificent dash and daring and a recklessness of cost or consequences, which she bears unto this day –and when she projects a new surprise, the grave world smiles as usual, and says 'Well, that is California all over. '"In the dreary winter of 1864-65 in Angels Camp, he kept a notebook. Scattered among notationsabout the weather and the tedious mining-camp meals lies an entry noting a story he had heard that day –anentry that would determine his course forever: "Coleman with his jumping frog –bet stranger $50 – stranger had no frog, and C. got him one – in the meantime stranger filled C. 's frog full of shot and he couldn't jump. The stranger's frog won." Retold with his descriptive genius, the story was printed in newspapers across the United States and became known as "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County." Mark Twain's national reputation was now well established as "the wild humorist of the Pacific slope."Two year s later the opportunity came for him to take a distinctly American look at the Old World. In New York City the steamship Quaker City prepared to sail on a pleasure cruise to Europe and the Holy Land. For the first time, a sizablegroup of United States citizens planned to journey as tourists -- a milestone , of sorts, in a country's development. Twain was assignedto accompany them, as correspondent 工for a California newspaper. If readers expected the usual glowing travelogue , they were sorely surprised.Unimpressed by the Sultan of Turkey, for example, he reported, “... one could set a trap anywhere and catch a dozen abler men in a night.”Casually he debunked revered artists and art treasures, and took unholy verbalshots at the Holy Land. Back home, more newspapers began printing his articles. America laughed with him. Upon his return to the States the book version of his travels, The Innocents Abroad, became an instant best-seller.At the age of 36 Twain settled in Hartford, Connecticut. His best books were published while he lived there.As early as 1870 Twain had experimented with a story about the boyhood adventures of a lad he named Billy Rogers. Two years later, he changed thename to Tom, and began shaping his adventures into a stage play. Not until 1874 did the story begin developing in ear nest. After publication in 1876, Tom Sawyer quickly became a classic tale of American boyhood. Tom's mischievous daring, ingenuity , and the sweet innocence of his affection for Becky Thatcher are almost as sure to be studied in American schools to-day as is the Declaration of Independence.Mark Twain's own declaration of independence came from another character. Six chapters into Tom Sawyer, he drags in "the juvenile pariah of the village, Huckleberry Finn, son of the town drunkard." Fleeing a respectable life with the puritanical Widow Douglas, Huck protests to his friend, Tom Sawyer: "I've tried it, and it don't work; it don't work, Tom. It ain't for me ... The widder eats by a bell; she goes to bed by a bell; she gits up bya bell – everything's so awful reg'lar a body can't stand it."Nine years after Tom Sawyer swept the nation, Huck was given a life of his own, in a book often considered the best ever written about Americans. His raft flight down the Mississippi with a runaway slave presents a moving panorama for exploration of American society.On the river, and especially with Huck Finn, Twain found the ultimate expression of escape from the pace he lived by and often deplored, from life's regularities and the energy-sapping clamor for success.Mark Twain suggested that an ingredient was missing in the American ambition when he said: "What a robust people, what a nation of thinkers we might be, if we would only lay ourselves on the shelf occasionally and renew our edges."Personal tragedy haunted his entire life, in the deaths of loved ones: his father, dyingof pneumonia when Sam was 12; his brother Henry, killed by a steamboat explosion; the death of his son, Langdon, at 19 months. His eldest daughter, Susy, died of spinal meningitis , Mrs. Clemens succumbed to a heart attack in Florence, and youngest daughter., Jean, an epileptic, drowned in an upstairs bathtub .Bitterness fed on the man who had made the world laugh. The moralizing of his earlier writing had been well padded with humor. Now the gloves came off with biting satire. He pretended to praise the U. S. military for the massacre of 600 Philippine Moros in the bowl of a volcanic crater . In The Mysterious Stranger, he insisted that man drop his religious illusions and depend upon himself, not Providence, to make a better world.The last of his own illusions seemed to have crumbled near the end. Dictating his autobiography late in life, he commentedwith a crushing sense of despair on men's final release from earthly struggles: "... they vanish from a world where they were of no consequence; where they achieved nothing; where they were a mistake and a failure and a foolishness; where they have left no sign that they had existed –a world which will lament them a day and for-get them forever.”(from National Geographic, Sept., 1975)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTES 1) Mark Twain:This was the pseudonym of the American humorist and writer, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910).

第一课中东的集市中东的集市仿佛把你带回到了几百年、甚至几千年前的时代。

此时此刻显现在我脑海中的这个中东集市，其入口处是一座古老的砖石结构的哥特式拱门。

你首先要穿过一个赤日耀眼、灼热逼人的大型露天广场，然后走进一个凉爽、幽暗的洞穴。

这市场一直向前延伸，一眼望不到尽头，消失在远处的阴影里。

赶集的人们络绎不绝地进出市场，一些挂着铃铛的小毛驴穿行于这熙熙攘攘的人群中，边走边发出和谐悦耳的叮当叮当的响声。

市场的路面约有十二英尺宽，但每隔几码远就会因为设在路边的小货摊的挤占而变窄；那儿出售的货物各种各样，应有尽有。

你一走进市场，就可以听到摊贩们的叫卖声，赶毛驴的小伙计和脚夫们大着嗓门叫人让道的吆喝声，还有那些想买东西的人们与摊主讨价还价的争吵声。

各种各样的噪声此伏彼起，不绝于耳，简直叫人头晕。

随后，当往市场深处走去时，人口处的喧闹声渐渐消失，眼前便是清静的布市了。

这里的泥土地面，被无数双脚板踩踏得硬邦邦的，人走在上面几乎听不到脚步声了，而拱形的泥砖屋顶和墙壁也难得产生什么回音效果。

布店的店主们一个个都是轻声轻气、慢条斯理的样子；买布的顾客们在这种沉闷压抑的气氛感染下，自然而然地也学着店主们的榜样，变得低声细语起来。

中东集市的特点之一是经销同类商品的店家，为避免相互间的竞争，不是分散在集市各处，而是都集中在一块儿，这样既便于让买主知道上哪儿找他们，同时他们自己也可以紧密地联合起来，结成同盟，以便保护自己不受欺侮和刁难。

例如，在布市上，所有那1些卖衣料、窗帘布、椅套布等的商贩都把货摊一个接一个地排设在马路两边，每一个店铺门面前都摆有一张陈列商品的搁板桌和一些存放货物的货架。

讨价还价是人们习以为常的事。

头戴面纱的妇女们迈着悠闲的步子从一个店铺逛到另一个店铺，一边挑选一边问价；在她们缩小选择范围并开始正儿八经杀价之前，往往总要先同店主谈论几句，探探价底。

对于顾客来说，至关重要的一点是，不到最后一刻是不能让店主猜到她心里究竟中意哪样东西、想买哪样东西的。

The ballroom then was certainl y not luxurious by today’s stan dards.6 Like the other guests, she dipped the freshly boiled shrimp into the sauce b efore she put it in her mouth; she found it very, very tasty.7 Many Americans like Chinese cuisine, and Sichuan-style cooking in particula r.8 In recent years in Shanghai and other large cities, the typical Chinese breakf ast of porridge or gruel has been supplanted by bread and milk which is more nutritious and time-saving.9 In summer when she gets home from office, leather shoes are cast in favor of slippers.10 Vacuum packing is adopted so as to keep the food free of bacteria.11 She wears shorts, rather than skirts, for shorts are in fashion now, but year s ago well-bred young ladies were mostly seen in dresses.12 Generally speaking, the defeated general should be removed from his post, but I hope Mr. Lee will be an exception to the practice. Give him another ch ance.

第一课救赎 ----兰斯顿.休斯在我快13岁那年，我的灵魂得到了拯救，然而并不是真正意义上的救赎。

事情是这样的。

那时我的阿姨里德所在的教堂正在举行一场盛大的宗教复兴晚会。

数个星期以来每个夜晚，人们在那里讲道，唱诵，祈祷。

连一些罪孽深重的人都获得了耶稣的救赎，教堂的成员一下子增多了。

就在复兴晚会结束之前，他们为孩子们举行了一次特殊的集会——把小羊羔带回羊圈。

里德阿姨数日之前就开始和我提这件事。

那天晚上，我和其他还没有得到主宽恕的小忏悔者们被送去坐在教堂前排,那是为祷告的人安排的座椅。

我的阿姨告诉我说：“当你看到耶稣的时候，你看见一道光，然后感觉心里似乎有什么发生。

从此以后耶稣就进入了你的生命，他将与你同在。

你能够看见、听到、感受到他和你的灵魂融为一体。

”我相信里德阿姨说的，许多老人都这么说，似乎她们都应该知道。

尽管教堂里面拥挤而闷热，我依然静静地坐在那里，等待耶稣的到来。

布道师祷告，富有节奏，非常精彩。

呻吟、喊叫、寂寞的呼喊，还有地狱中令人恐怖的画面。

然后他唱了一首赞美诗。

诗中描述了99只羊都安逸的待在圈里，唯有一个被冷落在外的情形。

唱完后他说道：“难道你不来吗？不来到耶稣身旁吗？小羊羔们，难道你们不来吗？”他向坐在祷告席上的小忏悔者们打开了双臂，小女孩们开始哭了，她们中有一些很快跳了起来，跑了过去。

我们大多数仍然坐在那里。

许多长辈过来跪在我们的身边开始祷告。

老妇人的脸像煤炭一样黑，头上扎着辫子，老爷爷的手因长年的工作而粗糙皲裂。

他们吟唱着“点燃微弱的灯，让可怜的灵魂得到救赎”的诗歌。

整个教堂里到处都是祈祷者的歌声。

最后其他所有小忏悔者们都去了圣坛上，得到了救赎，除了一个男孩和依然静静地坐着等侯的我。

那个男孩是一个守夜人的儿子，名字叫威斯特里。

在我们的周围尽是祈祷的修女执事。

教堂里异常闷热，天色也越来越暗了。

最后威斯特里小声对我说：“去他妈的上帝。

我再也坐不住了，我们站起来吧，就可以得到救赎了。

”于是他就站了起来，也因此得到了救赎。

高级英语（第三版）第一册课文译文和词汇张汉熙版Lesson 1 Face to Face with Hurricane Camille迎战卡米尔号飓风约瑟夫.布兰克小约翰。

柯夏克已料到，卡米尔号飓风来势定然凶猛。

就在去年8月17日那个星期天，当卡米尔号飓风越过墨西哥湾向西北进袭之时，收音机和电视里整天不断地播放着飓风警报。

柯夏克一家居住的地方一-密西西比州的高尔夫港--肯定会遭到这场飓风的猛烈袭击。

路易斯安那、密西西比和亚拉巴马三州沿海一带的居民已有将近15万人逃往内陆安全地带。

但约翰就像沿海村落中其他成千上万的人一样，不愿舍弃家园，要他下决心弃家外逃，除非等到他的一家人一-妻子詹妮丝以及他们那七个年龄从三岁到十一岁的孩子一一眼看着就要灾祸临头。

为了找出应付这场风灾的最佳对策，他与父母商量过。

两位老人是早在一个月前就从加利福尼亚迁到这里来，住进柯夏克一家所住的那幢十个房间的屋子里。

他还就此征求过从拉斯韦加斯开车来访的老朋友查理?希尔的意见。

约翰的全部产业就在自己家里(他开办的玛格纳制造公司是设计、研制各种教育玩具和教育用品的。

公司的一切往来函件、设计图纸和工艺模具全都放在一楼)。

37岁的他对飓风的威力是深有体会的。

四年前，他原先拥有的位于高尔夫港以西几英里外的那个家就曾毁于贝翠号飓风(那场风灾前夕柯夏克已将全家搬到一家汽车旅馆过夜)。

不过，当时那幢房子所处的地势偏低，高出海平面仅几英尺。

"我们现在住的这幢房子高了23英尺，，'他对父亲说，"而且距离海边足有250码远。

这幢房子是1915年建造的。

至今还从未受到过飓风的袭击。

我们呆在这儿恐怕是再安全不过了。

"老柯夏克67岁.是个语粗心慈的熟练机械师。

他对儿子的意见表示赞同。

"我们是可以严加防卫。

度过难关的，"他说?"一但发现危险信号，我们还可以赶在天黑之前撤出去。

" 为了对付这场飓风，几个男子汉有条不紊地做起准备工作来。

高级英语第一册课文翻译第一课中东的集市中东的集市仿佛把你带回到了几百年、甚至几千年前的时代。

此时此刻显现在我脑海中的这个中东集市，其入口处是一座古老的砖石结构的哥特式拱门。

你首先要穿过一个赤日耀眼、灼热逼人的大型露天广场，然后走进一个凉爽、幽暗的洞穴。

这市场一直向前延伸，一眼望不到尽头，消失在远处的阴影里。

赶集的人们络绎不绝地进出市场，一些挂着铃铛的小毛驴穿行于这熙熙攘攘的人群中，边走边发出和谐悦耳的叮当叮当的响声。

市场的路面约有十二英尺宽，但每隔几码远就会因为设在路边的小货摊的挤占而变窄；那儿出售的货物各种各样，应有尽有。

你一走进市场，就可以听到摊贩们的叫卖声，赶毛驴的小伙计和脚夫们大着嗓门叫人让道的吆喝声，还有那些想买东西的人们与摊主讨价还价的争吵声。

各种各样的噪声此伏彼起，不绝于耳，简直叫人头晕。

随后，当往市场深处走去时，人口处的喧闹声渐渐消失，眼前便是清静的布市了。

这里的泥土地面，被无数双脚板踩踏得硬邦邦的，人走在上面几乎听不到脚步声了，而拱形的泥砖屋顶和墙壁也难得产生什么回音效果。

布店的店主们一个个都是轻声轻气、慢条斯理的样子；买布的顾客们在这种沉闷压抑的气氛感染下，自然而然地也学着店主们的榜样，变得低声细语起来。

中东集市的特点之一是经销同类商品的店家，为避免相互间的竞争，不是分散在集市各处，而是都集中在一块儿，这样既便于让买主知道上哪儿找他们，同时他们自己也可以紧密地联合起来，结成同盟，以便保护自己不受欺侮和刁难。

例如，在布市上，所有那1些卖衣料、窗帘布、椅套布等的商贩都把货摊一个接一个地排设在马路两边，每一个店铺门面前都摆有一张陈列商品的搁板桌和一些存放货物的货架。

讨价还价是人们习以为常的事。

头戴面纱的妇女们迈着悠闲的步子从一个店铺逛到另一个店铺，一边挑选一边问价；在她们缩小选择范围并开始正儿八经杀价之前，往往总要先同店主谈论几句，探探价底。

对于顾客来说，至关重要的一点是，不到最后一刻是不能让店主猜到她心里究竟中意哪样东西、想买哪样东西的。

高级英语第一册第九课马克吐温（Advanced English, Volume 1,lesson ninth, Mark, Twain）Ninth lessonsMark, Twain -- a mirror of the United States(excerpt)Noel grove?Mark most Americans think that? Twain is a great writer, he describes Huck? Finn eternal childhood is full of a quality suggestive of poetry or painting journey and Tom Sawyer? Freedom and adventure in the long summer days. Indeed, the most popular writer of the spirit of exploration, patriotic, romantic temperament and humorous style to reach the peak of perfection degree. But I found that there is a different Mark? Twain Mark: a life tragedy by blow and become, sarcastic ridicule Twain, detest the world and its ways? A human quality of weakness and care-laden, clearly see the future is a dark man.The printing industry, the navigator, Confederate guerrillas, gold prospector starry eyed optimist, acid tongued: Mark? Twain Samuel? Clemence, Lang Hearn? He lives with more than 1/3 of the time traveled across the United States, to experience a new life in the United States, and then as writer and lecturer he felt that all this to the world. His pen name was a report he heard when he was working on a steamship. The water was two (12 feet) wide - meaning navigable. His works are more than 20 isstill in print, and translations are still have readers around the world, but his reputation degree.In Mark, Twain's youth, the geographic center of the United States was the Mississippi River, the great artery of communication in the middle of the young country. The keel, the gondola, and the raft carry the most important goods. Wood, corn, tobacco, wheat and furs through these vehicles transported to the downstream river delta, and sugar, syrup, cotton and whiskey goods were transported to the north. Prior to the climax of Western territorial development in 1850s, the vast Mississippi River Basin accounted for 3/4 of the United States' already developed territories.In 1857, young Mark Twain stepped into the world as a small pilot on a steamboat. In this new job, he came into contact with all kinds of people, and he saw a colorful world. He is completely devoted to the life, often in the steering room listening to people talk about civil strife, piracy, lynching cases, Youyi sell drugs as well as riverside houses some outsider story. All this, and the rich and colorful language absorbed by his memory, as accurate as a phonograph, had the chance to be reproduced in his work.The steamboat deck is not only full of pioneering spirit of the rich people, but also carrying some prostitutes, gamblers and gangsters scum. From all these different kinds of people, Mark Twain acutely knows human beings and knows the difference between people's words and actions. His four and a half years on the steamboat was the beginning of his real education and the most profound education. Late in life, Mark? Twain alsoacknowledged that the river made him understand a variety of human nature. This experience of life contributed to all his creations, but the most successful ones he described were the men on the Mississippi river.With the development of railway transportation, the demand for steamboat pilots in society is decreasing day by day, and the outbreak of civil war hinders the development of commercial trade. At this point, Mark Twain left the Mississippi River basin. He was a ragtag team of Confederate guerrillas for two weeks of soldiers. The team tried every means to avoid fighting the enemy. After convinced that "I am more proficient in retreating than the people who invented the retreat", Mark Twain left the team.He went west by stagecoach, by the gold rush was popular at that time in the state of Nevada area HuaSu temptation. After the great wealth that only lucky and the persistent would have hit eight months of two minds work, he failed.After bankruptcy and discouragement, he accepted a job as a reporter for the territorial development newspaper in Virginia, a move that will be forever appreciated by the literary community.Ever since he was disheartened by the failure of the gold rush, Mark Twain began to strive for regional prestige as a newspaper reporter and humorist. Journalistic work certainly cannot make him like gold winners like become wealthy, but in the money his pen is better than his pickax much more effective. In the spring of 1864, less than two years before he joined the territorydevelopment newspaper, he traveled to San Francisco in the stagecoach, a cradle of promising young writers both then and now.Mark? Twain honed and experimented with his new pen, but because he wrote some sharp commentary and forced to leave the city. His sharp criticism around the mistreatment of Chinese issues presented to the municipal government angered officials angry, because he had to flee to the valley of Sacramento gold district temporarily revive. His description of the pioneers there made the west coast region more innovative and modern. "People here are really amazing, because those clumsy-handed, lazy in the doldrums, idiotic stay at home...... It is those people as California won such a reputation: when they set out on a magnificent career, they will at any cost or risk in a heroic spirit and dash forward, in the end of one thousand. Californians still keep this reputation, therefore, when they launch a new shaking heaven and earth feats, those who will be wiser as usual, smiled and said: "well, this is the California style."."In the winter of 1864 and 1865, Mark Twain was spent in the Ann Giles mining area. On this dreary day, he took a note. In the out of order about the weather condition and boring about the entries in the food area with a day to hear a story narrative record, this record determines the direction of his career: "Coleman with his jumping frog - and bet $50 -- no stranger stranger jumping frog, Coleman to give him a stranger to use this time to bring a leap frog belly with lead bullets, so, don't jump to leapfrog, jumping frog strangers can win."After Mark Twain's beautiful style of writing? Rewrite this story appeared in newspapers across the United States, "he became known to every family famous jumping frog". At this point, Mark? Twain as the "Pacific coast Wild Humorist" reputation in the country has been firmly established.Two years later, he had an opportunity to observe the old continent of Europe with an American eye. In the city of New York, the steamer "Philadelphia" is ready for a sightseeing cruise to Europe and the Holy land. This is the first time Americans have organized larger groups of sightseeing tours - and they can also be seen as milestones in the history of a nation's development. Mark Twain, a journalist in a California newspaper, was appointed to interview with the tour group. If readers expect to read about the travels of the description in high spirit, that they are going to feel surprise.For example, for the Turkey monarchs he had given him what good impression Sultan is reported, "people can choose a place to set a trap, quasi overnight can capture a dozen more capable people." He boasted of some disdained revered artists and art treasures, even dare to profane words to insult to the religious holy land. After returning home, more and more newspapers began to publish his articles, and all the United States laughed with him. He returned to the United States, his travel notes "Innocents Abroad travel" immediately became a bestseller.At the age of thirty-six, Mark Twain began living in Connecticut, Hartford,All his best work came out at that time.As early as 1870, Mark Twain attempted to write a story about a boy's childhood adventure, which he called Billy Rodgers. Two years later, he changed the hero's name to Tom and proceeded to adapt the story into a play. It was not until 1874 that he began to expand the story seriously. Published in 1876, Tom Sawyer soon became a classic of American children's stories. The film about Tom's mischievous daring ingenuity and he told Betsy? Thatcher innocence of the feelings of the story almost like the "Declaration of independence" as in American schools today reading books.Mark, Twain's own declaration of independence, was expressed by another character. In the sixth chapter of "Tom Sawyer", he introduces the village vagrant, the son of the town drunkard, Huckleberry, Finn". Huck et al in the Puritan widow Douglas to live a decent life, to his friend Tom escaped from there? Yafa cable complaint said: "I tried, or not; not ah, Tom. That's not my day...... The widow's house listens to the bells, sleeps to the bells, the bells to the bells, and everything to be fixed."Nine years after Tom Sawyer swept the United States, Huck was given an independent life and became the hero of a book that many people believe is the most successful description of the American people. He with a runaway slave on a raft along the Mississippi River floating range show a picture to reveal the vivid picture of American social life picture. The Mississippi River, especially for Huck? The character of Finn's description, Mark Twain? You want to get out from the bound himself and often make their own distress the pace of life, from life and all the sacred rules of the religious order for the cause of the successof the hard struggle of the liberation of desire expression was most incisive.Mark Twain argues that there is a missing ingredient in American ideals. He said: "we just have to lie down occasionally and take a good rest, and keep the corner of the frontier, and we'll be able to be a vibrant nation, what an intellectual nation!"!"Mark? Twain's life is shrouded in the shadow of tragedy, their loved ones one by one: his father died when he was twelve years old died of pneumonia, his brother Henry in a steamboat explosion killed; his son Langdon is nineteen months away from the world. His eldest daughter, Susie, died of spinal meningitis; Mrs. Clemence died of heart disease in Florence; and his little daughter drowned in an upstairs bath due to an epileptic seizure.This had made the world laugh himself is all the bitterness of human life. In his early writings the moral sermon was wrapped in a humorous coat, and now humor is a hot satire. For the United States Army massacred six hundred Philippines Moro behavior in a volcano, he did not directly attack, but pretended to sing the praises of. In the mysterious stranger, he pointed out that human beings should abandon religious fantasies and rely on themselves rather than God to create a better world.His own last fantasy, then, seemed to be dashed. In his old age, when he was dictating his autobiography, he spoke with extreme despair about the ultimate liberation of man from earthly suffering:"...... They vanished from the world; they were insignificant and accomplished in the world; and even theirexistence was a mistake, a failure, a folly. Nothing in the world has left a trace of their existence. The world has given them only one day's sorrow and everlasting forgetfulness."。
