阅读加油站Mark Twain was the first writer to use the speech of common Americans in his books. He showed that simple American English could be a fine instrument for great writing.

阅读加油站Many of his novel stories take place in Hannibal, Missouri. The small wooden house where he lived as a boy still stands there. Next to the house is a wooden fence. It appeared in Twain’s book, “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”, published in 1876.

In that story, Tom has been told to paint the fence. He does not want to do it. But he acts as if the job is great fun. He tricks other boys into believing this.

His trick is so successful that they agree to pay him money to let them finish his work. “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” is considered one of the best books about an American boy’s life in the 1800s.

Tom Sawyer’s good friend is Huckleberry, or “Huck” Finn. Mark Twain told this boy’s story in “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”. Huck is a poor child, without a mother or home. His father often drinks too much alcohol ( 酒 ) and beats him.

Mark Twain wrote “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” in 1884. Since then, the book has been published in at least sixty languages. Some people say it is the best book ever written by an American writer.
