Mark Twain (pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910), was an American writer, journalist and humorist, who won a worldwide audience for his stories of the youthful adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
Clemens was born on November 30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri, of a Virginian family. He was brought up in Hannibal, Missouri. After his father's death in 1847, he was apprenticed to a printer and wrote for his brother's newspaper. He later worked as a licensed Mississippi river-boat pilot. The Civil War put an end to the steamboat traffic and Clemens moved to Virginia City, where he edited the Territorial Enterprise. On February 3, 1863, 'Mark Twain' was born when Clemens signed a humorous travel account with that pseudonym.
In 1864 Twain left for California, and worked in San Francisco as a reporter. He visited Hawaii as a correspondent for The Sacramento Union, publishing letters on his trip and giving lectures. He set out on a world tour, traveling in France and Italy. His experiences were recorded in 1869 in The Innocents Abroad, which gained him wide popularity, and poked fun at both American and European prejudices and manners.
The success as a writer gave Twain enough financial security to marry Olivia Langdon in 1870. They moved next year to Hartford. Twain continued to lecture in the United States and England. Between 1876 and 1884 he published several masterpieces, Tom Sawyer (1881) and The Prince And The Pauper (1881). Life On The Mississippi appeared in 1883 andHuckleberry Finn in 1884.
In the 1890s Twain lost most of his earnings in financial speculations and in the failure of his own publishing firm. To recover from the bankruptcy, he started a world lecture tour, during which one of his daughters died. Twain toured New Zealand, Australia, India, and South Africa. He wrote such books as The Tragedy Of Pudd'head Wilson (1884), Personal Recollections Of Joan Of Arc (1885), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and the travel book Following The Equator (1897). During his long writing career, Twain also produced a considerable number of essays.
The death of his wife and his second daughter darkened the author's later years, which is seen in his posthumously published autobiography (1924). Twain died on April 21, 1910
汤姆索亚历险记英文简介
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(这篇可以参考：)
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpieces, written in 1876 by the famous author Mark Twain. Tom Sawyer is a mischievous young boy who lives in the small town on the Mississippi River called St. Petersburg. The story line is simple, the book reads like a biography or a memoir of a summer in Tom Sawyer's life.
Tom Sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template for misfit kids such as Dennis the Menace, Malcolm in the Middle, and Calvin and Hobbs. What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood. The book is filled with Tom's adventures playing pirates and war with his friend Joe Harper. Tom has a trusted friend, Huck Finn, who few of the adults approve of. The book is filled with ideas of how the world works, such as how pirates and robbers work, that are so innocent, they could only come from a child. It is a story filled with action, adventure, ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. The whole story is seemingly a complication of what people did or wish they did during their childhood.
The book is a little difficult to read at first. Personally, it takes me a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the book. Other than referring to persons of African decent in derogatory terms (which I'm sure uses terms even young children already know), the book would be an enjoyable read for people of all ages. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred pages.
马克•吐温的故事和两则笑话
马克.吐温与昌西.迪普曾同在一艘往国外的船上，行驶了几天两人同被邀请赴宴，并发表演讲。马克.吐温先说了二十分钟，且很受欢迎。于是轮到迪普先生了。
“主持人，女士们先生们，”那个出了名健谈的人起身说道，“宴会之前我和马克.吐温约定好了要交换演说辞，于是他讲了我的东西，我对你们报以的友好态度很感激。但很遗憾，我把他的演说稿弄丢了，什么也记不得了。”
他说完就坐下了。台下哄笑阵阵。第二天一个参加了宴会的英国人在吸烟室偶遇马克.吐温。“克莱门斯先生（马克.吐温原名Samuel Langhorne Clemens ），”那人说，“我想您昨天真吃了大亏了。而那个迪普先生，我以前总听人说他是个聪明人，但您昨天作的那个演讲真是我听过的最荒唐的鬼话。”
车票
马克吐温一次乘车外出，火车开得很慢。当查票员过来查票时，马克吐温递给他一张儿童票。查票员调侃道：“我还真没看出您还是个孩子呢！”
马克吐温回答：“现在我已经不是孩子了，但我买票上车时还是个孩子哩。”
广告
一位商界阔佬对马克吐温说：“我想借助您的大名，给敝公司做个广告。”马克吐温说：“当然可以。”
第二天在马克吐温主办的报纸上登出了如下文字：
一只母苍蝇有两个儿子。她把这两个儿子视若掌上明珠，爱护备至。一天，母子三个飞到某某商业公司的商店里。一只小苍蝇去品尝包装精美的糖果，忽然双翅颤抖落下来，一命呜呼！另一只小苍蝇去吃香肠，不料也一头栽倒，顷刻毙命。母苍蝇痛不欲生，扑到一张苍蝇纸上意欲自杀，尽管大吃大嚼，结果却安然无恙！
阔佬看完广告，气得直翻白眼。
必须站着
马克吐温有一次到一个小城市演讲，他决定在演讲之前先理理发。
“你喜欢我们这个城市吗？”理发师问他。
“啊！喜欢，这是一个很好的地方。”马克吐温说。“您来得很巧，”理发师继续说，“马克吐温今天晚上要发表演讲，我想您一定是想去听听喽？”
“是的。”马克吐温说。
“您弄到票了吗？”
“还没有。”
“这可太遗憾了！”理发师耸了耸肩膀，两手一摊，惋惜地说：“那您只好从头到尾站着了，因为那里不会有空座位。”
“对！”幽默大师说，“和马克吐温在一起可真糟糕，他一演讲我就只能永远站着。”
马克吐温的故事(要英文的)
马克吐温Mark Twain
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.
马克·吐温（l835～1910）美国作家，本名塞缪尔·朗赫恩·克莱门斯。马克·吐温是其笔名。出生于密西西比河畔小城汉尼拔的一个乡村贫穷律师家庭，从小出外拜师学徒。当过排字工人，密西西比河水手、南军士兵，还经营过木材业、矿业和出版业，但有效的工作是当记者和写作幽默文学。
马克·吐温是美国批判现实主义文学的奠基人，世界著名的短篇小说大师。他经历了美国从“自由”资本主义到帝国主义的发展过程，其思想和创作也表现为从轻快调笑到辛辣讽刺再到悲观厌世的发展阶段。他的早期创作，如短篇小说《竞选州长》（1870）、《哥尔斯密的朋友再度出洋》（1870）等，以幽默、诙谐的笔法嘲笑美国“民主选举”的荒谬和“民主天堂”的本质。中期作品，如长篇小说《镀金时代》（1874，与华纳合写）、代表作长篇小说《哈克贝里·费恩历险记》（1886）及《傻瓜威尔逊》（1893）等，则以深沉、辛辣的笔调讽刺和揭露像瘟疫般盛行于美国的投机、拜金狂热，及暗无天日的社会现实与惨无人道的种族歧视。《哈克贝里·费恩历险记》通过白人小孩哈克跟逃亡黑奴吉姆结伴在密西西比河流浪的故事，不仅批判封建家庭结仇械斗的野蛮，揭露私刑的毫无理性，而且讽刺宗教的虚伪愚昧，谴责蓄奴制的罪恶，并歌颂黑奴的优秀品质，宣传不分种族地位人人都享有自由权利的进步主张。作品文字清新有力，审视角度自然而独特，被视为美国文学史上具划时代意义的现实主义著作。19世纪末，随着美国进入帝国主义发展阶段，马克·吐温一些游记、杂文、政论，如《赤道环行记》（1897）、中篇小说《败坏了哈德莱堡的人》（1900）、《神秘来客》（1916）等的批判揭露意义也逐渐减弱，而绝望神秘情绪则有所伸长。
马克·吐温被誉为“美国文学中的林肯”。他的主要作品大多有中文译本。
关于马克·吐温的小笑话有哪些？
作为一个文坛巨星，马克·吐温把许多不朽的文学名著留给了人类，而且关于他生活中的许多幽默笑话，也都变成了传世之闻。关于马克·吐温的笑话很多，据说美国有位指导学生如何讲演的教授，曾经传授一个成功秘诀给他的学生说：每逢发现你的观众有一点坐立不安，不肯耐心听你的演说时，就赶快讲一个关于马克·吐温的笑话给他们听。当然这个传说未必是真的，却也说明，马克·吐温的幽默曾给人类留下许多欢笑。有一次，马克·吐温在汽车上，售票员向他查票，他东翻西找，一脸的窘迫。忽然有人说：“这不是马克·吐温吗？”售票员马上说：“对不起，我相信您。”马克·吐温还在继续寻找车票，别人告诉他：“不用再找车票了。”但马克·吐温满脸严肃地说：“不！没找到车票，我怎么知道我该在哪站下车呢？”

关于马克吐温的笑话，越多越好
马克.吐温与昌西.迪普曾同在一艘往国外的船上，行驶了几天两人同被邀请赴宴，并发表演讲。马克.吐温先说了二十分钟，且很受欢迎。于是轮到迪普先生了。
“主持人，女士们先生们，”那个出了名健谈的人起身说道，“宴会之前我和马克.吐温约定好了要交换演说辞，于是他讲了我的东西，我对你们报以的友好态度很感激。但很遗憾，我把他的演说稿弄丢了，什么也记不得了。”
他说完就坐下了。台下哄笑阵阵。第二天一个参加了宴会的英国人在吸烟室偶遇马克.吐温。“克莱门斯先生（马克.吐温原名Samuel Langhorne Clemens ），”那人说，“我想您昨天真吃了大亏了。而那个迪普先生，我以前总听人说他是个聪明人，但您昨天作的那个演讲真是我听过的最荒唐的鬼话。”
车票
马克吐温一次乘车外出，火车开得很慢。当查票员过来查票时，马克吐温递给他一张儿童票。查票员调侃道：“我还真没看出您还是个孩子呢！”
马克吐温回答：“现在我已经不是孩子了，但我买票上车时还是个孩子哩。”
有关马克吐温的故事，要中文和英文急需
美国作家。本名塞谬尔·朗赫恩·克莱门斯。马克·吐温是其笔名。出生于密西西比河畔小城汉尼拔的 一个乡村贫穷律师家庭，从小出外拜师学徒。当过排字工人，密西西比河水手、南军士兵，还经营过木材 业、矿业和出版业，但有效的工作是当记者和写作幽默文学。 马克·吐温是美国批判现实主义文学的奠基人，世界著名的短篇小说大师。他经历了美国从“自由”资 本主义到帝国主义的发展过程，其思想和创作也表现为从轻快调笑到辛辣讽刺再到悲观厌世的发展阶段。他 的早期创作，如短篇小说《竟选州长》（1870）、《哥尔斯密的朋友再度出洋》（1870）等，以幽默、诙谐 的笔法嘲笑美国“民主选举”的荒谬和“民主天堂”的本质。中期作品，如长篇小说《镀金时代》（1874，
与华纳合写）、代表作长篇小说《哈克贝里·费恩历险记》（1886）及《傻瓜威尔逊》（1893）等，则以深 沉、辛辣的笔调讽刺和揭露像瘟疫般盛行于美国的投机、拜金狂热，及暗无天日的社会现实与惨无人道的种 族歧视。《哈克贝里·费恩历险记》通过白人小孩哈克跟逃亡黑奴吉姆结伴在密西西比河流浪的故事，不仅 批判封建家庭结仇械斗的野蛮，揭露私刑的毫无理性，而且讽刺宗教的虚伪愚昧，谴责蓄奴制的罪恶，并歌 颂黑奴的优秀品质，宣传不分种族地位人人都享有自由权利的进步主张。作品文字清新有力，审视角度自然 而独特，被视为美国文学史上具划时代意义的现实主义著作。19世纪末，随着美国进入帝国主义发展阶段， 马克·吐温一些游记、杂文、政论，如《赤道环行记》（1897）、中篇小说《败坏了哈德莱堡的人》 （1900）、《神秘来客》（1916）等的批判揭露意义也逐渐减弱，而绝望神秘情绪则有所伸长。 马克·吐温被誉为“美国文学中的林肯”。他的主要作品已大多有中文译本。
旅行家庭
密苏里州是一个奴隶州，并被大部分人视为是属于南方的一部分，但密苏里州并没有加入联邦。当战争开始时，吐温和他的朋友加入了一队联邦的民兵部队（这在一部1885年的短故事“The Private History of a Campaign That Failed”中有相关描述），并加入了一场战争，在那场战争中有一个人被杀。吐温发现他根本不能忍受自己杀任何人，因此他离开了。他的朋友加入了南军；吐温则到他的哥哥奥利安那里去，那时奥利安被任命成为内华达的州长的秘书并管理西部。
吐温与他哥哥乘公共马车花了2星期多横越了大平原区和洛矶山脉。他们到了盐湖城摩门教的社会。这些经验成为了《艰苦岁月》一书中的主要部分，并给《卡城名蛙》提供了资料。吐温的旅程结束在内华达维吉尼亚城的银矿那里。在那里，他成为了一名矿工。
在放弃矿工一职后，吐温在维吉尼亚城的一家报纸《企业报》工作。
吐温次后到加州旧金山旅行，在那里他继续当一名记者，并开始做演讲。他见了其他作家如布瑞特·哈得等。一次他被分配到夏威夷州，而这成为他的第一次演讲。1867年，一家当地的报纸提供了一次往地中海地区的轮船旅游。
在他往欧洲和中东的旅程期间，他写了1869年收集成的著名旅行信件系列《傻子旅行》。他亦见了查尔斯·兰登（Charles Langdon）并看到兰登姐姐欧丽维亚（Olivia Langdon）的相片。吐温对她立即一见钟情。他们在1868年见面，并在一年后订婚，1870年于纽约市艾玛拉结婚。欧丽维亚生了儿子兰登，但兰登在19个月时死于白喉。
1871年，吐温一家迁往康乃迪克州哈特福特。在那里欧丽维亚生了3个女儿：苏西、克拉拉和让。吐温亦成为了作家威廉·迪安·豪威尔士的好朋友。
吐温之后再度到欧洲旅游，这在1880年一部书《浪迹海外》有作描述。1900年他回到美国，给他的旧公司偿清欠款。吐温的婚姻维持了34年，直到欧丽维亚于1904年去世。
