Mark Twain (l835～1910)
Write without pay until someone offers it. If no one does so within three years, sawing wood is what you were intended.
Mark Twain was the pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, who grew up in Hannibal, Missouri. His father was a storekeeper and died in 1847. His early occupations included apprenticeship to a printer, writing for his brother's newspaper and, just as importantly in retrospect, piloting ships on the Mississippi (where, incidentally, he was actively discouraged from reading). It was this latter job that provided material for his most famous books, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), and gave him his working name. Mark twain is a naval term meaning two fathoms deep.
In fact, Twain published his early works under the name Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass but he settled on the now familiar pseudonym as a correspondent for a variety of Nevada and California magazines. He achieved fame as a humorist with The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and Other Sketches (1867) and Innocents Abroad (1869), and began a first English lecture tour in 1872. His writing covered numerous topics but frequently utilised autobiography (Roughing It (1872), Life on the Mississippi (1883)) and fantasy (The Prince and the Pauper (1882), A Connecticut Yankee in the Court of King Arthur (1889)).
Twain's most famous books remain Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, both of which concern life on and around the Mississippi and contain much of the social and political satire familiar from his other writings. However, their success could not prevent Twain from experiencing financial troubles in the last twenty years of his life. He left for worldwide lecture tours and wrote many less purposeful books, although The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg (1900) is pleasingly inventive. Twain died in 1910 having made it to a ripe old age for a man who reportedly smoked forty cigars per day.
馬克·吐溫（l835～1910）美國作家，本名塞繆爾·朗赫恩·克萊門斯。馬克·吐溫是其筆名。出生於密西西比河畔小城漢尼拔的一個鄉村貧窮律師家庭，從小出外拜師學徒。當過排字工人，密西西比河水手、南軍士兵，還經營過木材業、礦業和出版業，但有效的工作是當記者和寫作幽默文學。
馬克·吐溫是美國批判現實主義文學的奠基人，世界著名的短篇小說大師。他經歷了美國從「自由」資本主義到帝國主義的發展過程，其思想和創作也表現為從輕快調笑到辛辣諷刺再到悲觀厭世的發展階段。他的早期創作，如短篇小說《競選州長》（1870）、《哥爾斯密的朋友再度出洋》（1870）等，以幽默、詼諧的筆法嘲笑美國「民主選舉」的荒謬和「民主天堂」的本質。中期作品，如長篇小說《鍍金時代》（1874，與華納合寫）、代表作長篇小說《哈克貝里·費恩歷險記》（1886）及《傻瓜威爾遜》（1893）等，則以深沉、辛辣的筆調諷刺和揭露像瘟疫般盛行於美國的投機、拜金狂熱，及暗無天日的社會現實與慘無人道的種族歧視。《哈克貝里·費恩歷險記》通過白人小孩哈克跟逃亡黑奴吉姆結伴在密西西比河流浪的故事，不僅批判封建家庭結仇械鬥的野蠻，揭露私刑的毫無理性，而且諷刺宗教的虛偽愚昧，譴責蓄奴制的罪惡，並歌頌黑奴的優秀品質，宣傳不分種族地位人人都享有自由權利的進步主張。作品文字清新有力，審視角度自然而獨特，被視為美國文學史上具劃時代意義的現實主義著作。19世紀末，隨著美國進入帝國主義發展階段，馬克·吐溫一些游記、雜文、政論，如《赤道環行記》（1897）、中篇小說《敗壞了哈德萊堡的人》（1900）、《神秘來客》（1916）等的批判揭露意義也逐漸減弱，而絕望神秘情緒則有所伸長。
馬克·吐溫被譽為「美國文學中的林肯」。他的主要作品大多有中文譯本。
2. 跪求美國作家馬克 吐溫的英文介紹
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910),[1] better known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American humorist, satirist, lecturer and writer. Twain is most noted for his novels Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which has since been called the Great American Novel,[2] and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He is also known for his quotations.[3][4] During his lifetime, Clemens became a friend to presidents, artists, leading instrialists and European royalty.
Clemens enjoyed immense public popularity, and his keen wit and incisive satire earned him praise from both critics and peers. American author William Faulkner called Twain "the father of American literature."[5]
Mark 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. The only reason it was published there was because his story arrived too late to be included in a book Artemus Ward was compiling featuring sketches of the wild American West.
After this burst of popularity, Twain was commissioned by the Sacramento Union to write letters about his travel experiences for publication in the newspaper, his first of which was to ride the steamer Ajax in its maiden voyage to Hawaii, referred to at the time as the Sandwich Islands. These humorous letters proved the genesis to his work with the San Francisco Alta California newspaper, which designated him a traveling correspondent for a trip from San Francisco to New York City via the Panama isthmus. All the while Twain was writing letters meant for publishing back and forth, chronicling his experiences with his burlesque humor. On June 8, 1867, Twain set sail on the pleasure cruiser Quaker City for five months. This trip resulted in The Innocents Abroad or The New Pilgrims' Progress.
「 This book is a record of a pleasure trip. If it were a record of a solemn scientific expedition it would have about it the gravity, that profundity, and that impressive incomprehensibility which are so proper to works of that kind, and withal so attractive. Yet not withstanding it is only a record of a picnic, it has a purpose, which is, to suggest to the reader how he would be likely to see Europe and the East if he looked at them with his own eyes instead of the eyes of those who traveled in those countries before him. I make small pretense of showing anyone how he ought to look at objects of interest beyond the sea – other books do that, and therefore, even if I were competent to do it, there is no need. 」
In 1872, Twain published a second piece of travel literature, Roughing It, as a semi-sequel to Innocents. Roughing It is a semi-autobiographical account of Twain's journey to Nevada and his subsequent life in the American West. The book lampoons American and Western society in the same way that Innocents critiqued the various countries of Europe and the Middle East. Twain's next work would kept Roughing It's focus on American society but focused more on the events of the day. Entitled The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, it was not a travel piece, as his previous two books had been, and it was his first attempt at writing a novel. The book is also notable because it is Twain's only collaboration; it was written with his neighbor Charles Dudley Warner.
Clemens' next two works drew on his experiences on the Mississippi River. Old Times on the Mississippi, a series of sketches published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1875, featured Twain』s disillusionment with Romanticism. Old Times eventually became the starting point for Life on the Mississippi.
Clemens' next major publication was The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, which drew on his youth in Hannibal. The character of Tom Sawyer was modeled on Samuel as a child, with traces of two schoolmates, John Briggs and Will Bowen. The book also introced in a supporting role the character of Huckleberry Finn, based on Clemens' boyhood friend Tom Blankenship.
The Prince and the Pauper, despite a storyline that is omnipresent in film and literature today, was not as well received. Pauper was Twain』s first attempt at fiction, and blame for its shortcomings are usually put on Twain having not been experienced enough in English society and the fact that it was proced after such a massive hit. In between the writing of Pauper, Twain had started Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (which he consistently had problems completing[citation needed]) and started and completed another travel book, A Tramp Abroad. A Tramp Abroad follows Twain as he travels through central and southern Europe.
Twain』s next major published work, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, solidified him as a noteworthy American writer. Some have called it the first Great American Novel. Finn was an offshoot from Tom Sawyer and proved to have a more serious tone than its predecessor. The main premise behind Huckleberry Finn is the young boy』s belief in the right thing to do even though the majority of society believes that it was wrong. The book has become required reading in many schools throughout the United States because Huck ignores the rules and mores of the age to follow what he thinks is just (the story takes place in the 1850s where slavery is present). Four hundred manuscript pages of Huckleberry Finn were written in the summer of 1876, right after the publication of Tom Sawyer. Some accounts have Twain taking seven years off after his first burst of creativity, eventually finishing the book in 1883. Other accounts have Twain working on Finn in tandem with The Prince and the Pauper and other works in 1880 and other years. The last fifth of Finn is subject to much controversy. Some say that Twain experiences—as critic Leo Marx puts it—a "failure of nerve." Ernest Hemingway once said of Huckleberry Finn: 「If you read it, you must stop where the Nigger Jim is stolen from the boys. That is the real end. The rest is just cheating.」
Near the end of Huckleberry Finn, Twain had written Life on the Mississippi, which is said to have heavily influenced the former book. The work recounts Twain』s memories and new experiences after a 22 year absence from the Mississippi. The book is of note because Twain introces the real meaning of his pseudonym.
After his great work, Twain began turning to his business endeavors to keep them afloat and to stave off the increasing difficulties he had been having from his writing projects. Twain focused on the writing of President Ulysses S. Grant's Memoirs for his fledgling publishing company, finding time in between to write The Private History of a Campaign That Failed for The Century Magazine.
Twain next focused on A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, which featured him making his first big pronouncement of disappointment with politics. The tone become cynical to the point of almost being a rant against the established political system of the day (which would have been in King Arthur』s time), and eventually devolved into madness for the main character. The book was started in December 1885, then shelved a few months later until the summer of 1887, and eventually finished in the spring of 1889.
Some say that this work marked the beginning of the end for Twain as he fell into financial trouble and eschewed his humor vein. Twain had begun to furiously write articles and commentary with diminishing returns to pay the bills and keep his business intentions afloat, but it was not enough because he filed for bankruptcy in 1894. His next large scale work, The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson (aka Those Extraordinary Twins), brought about Twain』s sense of irony, though it has been misconstrued. There were parallels between this work and Twain』s financial failings, notably his desire to escape his current constraints and become a different person.
Twain』s next venture was straight fiction called Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc and dedicated it to his wife. Twain had long said that this was the work he was most proud of despite the criticism he received for it. The book had been a dream of Twain』s for a very long time, and he eventually thought it to be the work to save his publishing company. His financial adviser, Henry Huttleston Rogers, squashed that idea and got Twain out of that business all together, but the book was published nonetheless.
Twain』s wife died in 1904, and after the appropriate time Twain was allowed to publish some works that his wife, a de facto editor and censor throughout his life, had looked down upon. Of these works, The Mysterious Stranger, which pits the presence of Satan, aka 「No. 44,」 in various situations where the moral sense of human kind. This particular work was not published in Twain』s life, so there were three versions found in his manuscripts made between 1897 and 1905: the Hannibal version, the Eseldorf version, and the Print Shop version. Confusion between the versions led to an extensive publication of a jumbled version, and only recently have the original versions as Twain wrote them become available.
Twain』s last work was his autobiography, which he dictated and thought would be most entertaining if he went off on whims and tangents in non-sequential order. Some archivists and compilers had a problem with this and rearranged the biography into a more conventional form, thereby eliminating some of Twain』s humor and the flow of the book.

借鑒了一個碩士論文的，
In American literature, Twain is not only a great humorist, but also an eminent master who developed a unique style of his own-colloquialism. His greatness lies in his blending of humor with lively language. His language is vernacular, idiomatic, and rich in slang. Much of the slang is still viable today. His language dates so much less than that of most of his English and American contemporaries. He is very vital in his idioms. The simple, spoken English language holds up much better than the literary ones. Great humor combined with wonderful language, wisdom and humaneness "is an irresistible and priceless treasure "Neider, 1985).
Twain understood instinctively the virtues of sober English prose, unadorned with literary sequins, and why the four-letter words have lasted for centuries, only in his most recent time being debased by overuse. In addition, his wild effects often stem from his extraordinarily rich and wide-ranging vocabulary and his vigorous and unexpected use of verbs. Growing up as a journalist, Twain had the journalist's instinct. This is not necessarily a handicap in the creation of literature. Insofar as it stimulates a sense of audience, of common sense and the use of native speech and lore, that is, as it inspires one to attempt of colloquy in common terms but with uncommon genius. His ability to imitate styles of speech, with a vast array of accurate detail, is remarkable.
The American yarn had important influences on Twain. One of his triumphs in Huckleberry Finn was the introction in breadth and depth of mock-oral language into the American novel and his mastering of the American spoken idioms in print. In his accomplishment, he was aided with an incomparable ear and a subtle memory. This particular triumph was dependent on his decision to tell the story from the point of view and in the language of its protagonist, a decision that had major consequences from the hairy-chest branch of the American novel. What he lacked was a studied Eastern conscience to refine the great ore he mined, what he had in great measure was the naked power of the man with the gift of gab. He knew what a yarn was, and what it was for, and what to do with it. He did not think that a good yarn needs prettifying, and he told it straight, without trimmings. His high finks are remarkable: his love of mugging, monologue, dialect, caricature, irony, and sometimes sarcasm. He is a great proponent of the tall story, piling details on until the story comes crashing down, or rather makes you think it is going to crash, but to your surprise, survives. As a result, he is uproarious.
During his lifetime, Twain created many ,novels, sketches, essays, comments and travel books. His writing life, which lasted as long as 50 years can be roughly divided into three stages. The Early Period is from 1850s to 1869,the Middle period, from the early 70s to the end of the 80s; the Late Period, from the beginning of 90s to the early 20`"
Twain's earliest juvenilia began as early as 1851，the year of his first extent sketch. He "wrote but little for periodicals hereafter" (Twain, 1871). In the following twenty years of experimentation, he wrote hundreds of tales and sketches, some speeches and a few poems. Twain's sketches of this period never gained for themselves the illustrious reputation earned by his other kinds of writing but no one interested in American humor can long remain indifferent to them. They comprised a substantial share of his literary apprenticeship and developed so thoroughly his flair of genius thatthey made their way into his important books long after he had decided he had broken their spell. As with the short story he was long on hodgepodge in form and short on French neatness. It is often not easy to say which is a story and which is a sketch, and sometimes it is not impossible. In the long run it makes little difference, for fortunately this minor works carry the impress of his literary features so strongly that they possess an intrinsic value quite apart from any they might have gathered to themselves by being more akin to the usual genres.
Most of his early sketches will not escape oblivion, as A. B. Paine, his friend and official biographer, said, "Many of them are amusing, some of them delightful, but most of them seem `ephemeral'. If we except The Jumping Frog, and possibly A True Story, there is no reason to suppose that any of its contents will escape oblivion" (Paine,1875).
Many of Twain's best works were written in the 1870s and 1880s. His language is mainly short, full of the quaintest Americanisms, and showing an utter disregard for the polished diction of most novelists. For example, `It was not' is always "twarn't', and `they done it' and `catched', various other purely trans-Atlantic words and phrases, crop up profusely in his works.
Twain's mind has been stimulated by strange, colorful scenes and he is brimful of his awakened and still unfolding powers, powers which reveal themselves in a fresh, tireless language of the book, in the broad and sophisticated vocabulary and in the easy ability to achieve many kinds of effect困eider, 1977). His language of the Middle Period is looser, thinner, freer and more idiomatic than that of the Early Period. The more poetic vein, the tone of a great fable and the idiomatic richness of his language are to the advantage of the best works.
From early 1890s came the last stage of Twain's writing period. The misfortunes of his personal life and the disappointment to the society altered his opinions on human race and also changed his writing style. Pessimism replaced optimism, he could not laugh any more. Sharp satire and attack took the place of light humor. Some of his late works display the temperament of loathing the human race. In The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg (1900), What Is Man? (1906), The Mysterious Stranger (1916), he began to use the word `the damned human race'. In Chapter 4, it will be discussed and analyzed quantitatively in detail whether he changed his style from the linguistic point of view.

5. 馬克吐溫的介紹（中英文對照
馬克•吐溫，原名塞繆爾•朗赫恩•克列門斯；（1835年月30日－1910年4月21日）是美國的幽默大師、小說家、作家，亦是著名演說家。雖然其家財不多，卻無損其幽默、機智與名氣，堪稱美國最知名人士之一。其交遊廣闊，威廉•迪安•豪威爾士、布克•華盛頓、尼古拉•特斯拉、海倫•凱勒、亨利•羅傑諸君，皆為其友。他曾被譽為：文學史上的林肯。海倫•凱勒曾言：「我喜歡馬克吐溫——誰會不喜歡他呢？即使是上帝，亦會鍾愛他，賦予其智慧，並於其心靈里繪畫出一道愛與信仰的彩虹。」威廉•福克納稱馬克•吐溫為「第一位真正的美國作家，我們都是繼承他而來」。其於1910年去世，年七十五，安葬於紐約州艾瑪拉。
寫作風格：熔幽默與諷刺一體，既富於獨特的個人機智與妙語，又不乏深刻的社會洞察與剖析，既是幽默辛辣的小的傑作，又是悲天憫人的嚴肅!
筆名「馬克•吐溫」是其最常使用的筆名，一般認為這個筆名是源自其早年水手生涯，與其夥伴測量水深時，他的夥伴叫道「Mark Twain !」，意思是「兩個標記」，亦即水深兩潯（1潯約1.8米），這是輪船安全航行的必要條件。但亦有一說，指其在西部流浪時，經常在酒店買酒兩杯，並要求酒保在帳單上記「兩個標記」。然而，孰真孰假，或兩者皆虛，則無從稽考。他的真名叫「薩繆爾•克里更斯」。
生平童年
馬克•吐溫於1835年11月30日出生在美國密蘇里州佛羅里達的鄉村的貧窮律師家庭。他是家中7個小孩的第6個小孩。他只有兩個兄弟姊妹可以在童年過後倖存下來，他的那兩個兄弟姊妹就是哥哥奧利安•克列門斯（Orion Clemens）（1825年7月17日 - 1897年12月11日）和姊姊帕梅拉（Pamela）（1827年9月19日 - 1904年8月31日）。他的父親是當地的法官，收入菲薄，家境拮據。小塞繆爾上學時就不得不打工。他十二歲那年父親去世，從此開始了獨立的勞動生活，先在印刷所學徒，當過送報人和排字工，後來又在密西西比河上當水手和舵手。兒時生活的貧窮和長期的勞動生涯，不但為他以後的文學創作累積了素材，更鑄就了一顆正義的心。他的母親瑪格麗特（Margaret）在他四歲時死去，而他的哥哥本傑明（Benjamin）（1832年6月8日 - 1842年5月12日）在三年後亦死去了。他的另一個哥哥Pleasant（1828年 - 1829年）只活到吐溫出生前三個月。繼這班年齡較馬克•吐溫大的兄弟姊妹之後，吐溫又有一個弟弟－－亨利•克列門斯（Henry Clemens）（1838年7月13日 - 1858年6月21日）。在吐溫4歲時，他們一家遷往密蘇里州漢尼拔（Hannibal）的一個密西西比河的港市，而這就成為了他後來的著作《湯姆•索亞歷險記》和《頑童流浪記》中聖彼得堡的城市的靈感。 那時，密蘇里州是聯邦的奴隸州，而年輕的吐溫開始了解奴隸制，這成為了往後在他的歷險小說中的主題。
馬克•吐溫是色盲的，而這激起了他在社交圈子的詼諧玩笑。1847年3月，當吐溫11歲時，他的父親死於肺炎。接著的那一年，他成為一名印刷學徒。1851年，他成為一名排字工人，也有投稿，並開始給他哥哥奧利安創辦的《漢尼拔雜志》（Hannibal Journal）寫草稿。在他18歲時，他離開漢尼拔並在紐約市、費城、聖路易和辛辛那提市都當過印刷工人。22歲時，吐溫回到密蘇里州。在下密西西比河到紐奧良的旅途中，輪船的領航員「碧士比」要吐溫終身成為輪船領航員，而這職業是當時全美國薪資第三高的職業，每月250美元（等於現在的155,000美元）。
由於那時的輪船是由很易燃的木材建造，因此在晚間亦不可以開燈。領航員需要對不斷改變的河流有豐富的認識，因而可以避開河岸成百的港口和植林地。吐溫在他得到領航員執照（1859年）之前花了2年多一絲不苟地研究了密西西比河的2000米。在得到執照前的訓練期間，吐溫說服他的弟弟亨利•克列門斯與他在密西西比河上工作。亨利死於1858年6月21日，那是由於亨利工作的那艘輪船爆炸。吐溫為此感到極內疚，並在餘生中一直覺得他自己需負上責任。可是他繼續在河上工作並一直是領航員，直到1861年南北戰爭爆發而縮減了密西西比河的交通。
