While he was learning this trade, he was happier than he had ever been in his life. If you want to know what happened to him at this time you must read a book he wrote, Life on the Mississippi River. He wrote a great many books and signed whatever he wrote with a queer name—MARK TWAIN. This was an old term used by pilots to show how deep the water is where they throw the lead. His writings, like his boyish compositions, made people laugh. So that now, although he has been dead several years, whenever the name of Mark Twain is mentioned, a smile goes around. If you want to know more about the actual doings of Sam and his chums, Will Bowen and John Briggs, read Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, for in those books Sam has set down a pretty fair account of their escapades.
Mr. Clemens had a wife and children of whom he was very fond. As he made much money from his books and lectures, they were all able to travel in foreign countries, and his best book of travel is Innocents Abroad. It seems to me that even his father would have laughed over that book. Speaking of his father again reminds me to tell you that the Tennessee land never brought any luxuries to the Clemens family. It was sold for less than the taxes had amounted to.
当他学习这一行的时候，他比以往任何时候都快乐。如果你想知道这个时候他发生了什么你必须读一本他写的书《密西西比河上的生活》。他写了许多书，无论写什么都署上一个奇怪的名字ーー马克吐温。这是飞行员用来显示他们抛铅的水有多深的一个古老术语。他的作品，就像他孩子气的作品一样，使人发笑。所以现在，尽管他已经去世好几年了，每当提到马克 · 吐温的名字，人们都会面带微笑。如果你想知道更多关于山姆和他的朋友威尔 · 鲍恩和约翰 · 布里格斯的实际行动，那就读读汤姆 · 索亚和他的哈克贝利·费恩历险记吧，因为在这些书中，山姆对他们的越轨行为做了一个相当公平的描述。克莱门斯有一个妻子和孩子，他非常喜欢他们。由于他的书和讲座赚了很多钱，他们都能到国外旅行，他最好的旅行书籍是《无辜的人在国外》。在我看来，即使是他的父亲也会对那本书大笑不止。再次提到他父亲，我想告诉你田纳西州的土地从来没有给克莱门斯家族带来任何奢侈品。它以低于税收总额的价格出售。
