Mark Twain---马克·吐温
Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in Florida, Missouri, on November 30, 1835. Twain was the sixth of seven children, but only three of his
siblings survived childhood.

When Twain was 11, his father died of pneumonia. The next year Twain left school to become a printer’s apprentice. In 1851, he began working as a typesetter and contributor of articles and humorous sketches for the Hannibal Journal, a newspaper Orion owned.

It was more than two years before he received his pilot’s license. Piloting gave him his pen name, Mark Twain, from “mark twain”, the leadsman’s cry for a measured river depth of two fathoms (12 feet), which was safe water for a steamboat.
马克·吐温在他得到领航员执照(1859年)之前花了2年多一丝不苟地研究了密西西比河的2000米。也因此得到他的笔名Mark Twain。(意思是:水深12英尺,轮船可以安全通过)
He referred humorously to his lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise.

In 1867, a local newspaper funded a trip to the Mediterranean. It was on this trip that he met his future brother-in-law, Charles Langdon, who showed a picture of his sister Olivia to Twain.
Twain claimed to have fallen in love at first sight.

A complete bibliography of his works is nearly impossible to compile because of the vast number
of pieces written by Twain and his use of several different pen names. Thus, the collection of
Twain’s works is an ongoing process.
他的著作全集编纂工作几乎不可能实现,这个工作一直在进行中,因为他作品数目巨大而且笔名很多。
Twain’s first important work, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, was first published in the New York Saturday Press on November 18, 1865.
马克·吐温的第一部巨著《卡城名蛙》,在1865年11月18日在《纽约周六报刊》首次出版。(这作品在那里出版的唯一原因是因为它完成得太迟,赶不及纳入阿特姆斯·沃德收集美国西部特色著作的书中。)
Next major publication:The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, which drew on his youth in Hannibal. Tom Sawyer was modeled on Twain as a child, with traces of two schoolmates and Twain’s friend.
《汤姆·索亚历险记》是美国著名小说家马克·吐温的代表作,发表于1876年。描写了他在汉尼拔的童年。吐温模仿自己小时候和童年伙伴的性格,塑造出汤姆·索亚的性格来。(《哈克贝利芬历险记》是其姊妹篇)
Henry, a penniless American Businessman landed in Britain by accident. Wandering in London streets, he was asked to step inside a house. After being asked many questions, he was given a letter. As it turns out, two wealthy old brothers make a bet, which centers on a one-million-pound bank note that one of the brothers acquires. Could a perfectly honest and intelligent stranger only live on it?
It tells the story of two boys born on the same day who are physically identical, the book acts as a social commentary as the prince and pauper switch places. Pauper was Twain’s first attempt at historical fiction.

During his later life, Twain published several literary reviews in newspapers to help make ends meet. He became an extremely outspoken critic of not only other authors, but also other critics. Those under Twain’s attack were George Eliot, Jane Austen, and Robert Louis Stevenson.
