百万英镑(马克.吐温)t
百万英镑英文版The Million Pound NoteWhen I was twenty-seven years old, I was amining-broker's clerk in San Francisco, and an expert in all the details of stock traffic. I was alone in the world, and had nothing to depend upon but my wits and a clean reputation; but these were setting my feet in the road to eventual fortune, and I was content with the prospect. My time was my own after the afternoon board, Saturdays, and I was accustomed to put it in on a little sail-boat on the bay. One day I ventured too far, and was carried out to sea. Just at nightfall, when hope was about gone, I was picked up by a small brig which was bound for London. It was a long and stormy voyage, and they made me work my passage without pay, as a common sailor. When I stepped ashore in London my clothes were ragged and shabby, and I had only a dollar in my pocket. This money fed and sheltered me twenty-four hours. During the next twenty-four I went without food and shelter.About ten o'clock on the following morning, seedy and hungry, I was dragging myself along Portland Place,when a child that was passing, towed by a nurse-maid, tossed a luscious big pear—minus one bite—into the gutter. I stopped, of course, and fastened my desiring eye on that muddy treasure. My mouth watered for it, my stomach craved it, my whole being begged for it. But every time I made a move to get it some passing eye detected my purpose, and of course I straightened up then, and looked indifferent, and pretended that I hadn't been thinking about the pear at all. This same thing kept happening and happening, and I couldn't get the pear. I was just getting desperate enough to brave all the shame, and to seize it, when a window behind me was raised, and a gentleman spoke out of it, saying:"Step in here, please."I was admitted by a gorgeous flunkey, and shown into a sumptuous room where a couple of elderly gentlemen were sitting. They sent away the servant, and made me sit down. They had just finished their breakfast, and the sight of the remains of it almost overpowered me. I could hardly keep my wits together in the presence of that food, but as I was not asked to sample it, I had to bear my trouble as best I could.Now, something had been happening there a little before, which I did not know anything about until a good many days afterwards, but I will tell you about it now. Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything.You will remember that the Bank of England once issued two notes of a million pounds each, to be used for a special purpose connected with some public transaction with a foreign country. For some reason or other only one of these had been used and canceled; the other still lay in the vaults of the Bank. Well, the brothers, chatting along, happened to get to wondering what might be the fate of a perfectly honest and intelligent stranger who should be turned adrift in London without a friend, and with no money but that million-pound bank-note, and no way to account for his being in possession of it. Brother A said he would starve to death; Brother B said he wouldn't. Brother A said he couldn't offer it at a bank or anywhere else, because he would be arrested on the spot. So they went on disputing till Brother B said hewould bet twenty thousand pounds that the man would live thirty days, anyway, on that million, and keep out of jail, too. Brother A took him up. Brother B went down to the Bank and bought that note. Just like an Englishman, you see; pluck to the backbone. Then he dictated a letter, which one of his clerks wrote out in a beautiful round hand, and then the two brothers sat at the window a whole day watching for the right man to give it to.I would have picked up the pear now and eaten it before all the world, but it was gone; so I had lost that by this unlucky business, and the thought of it did not soften my feeling towards those men. As soon as I was out of sight of that house I opened my envelope, and saw that it contained money! My opinion of those people changed, I can tell you! I lost not a moment, but shoved note and money into my vest pocket, and broke for the nearest cheap eating house. Well, how I did eat! When at last I couldn't hold any more, I took out my money and unfolded it, took one glimpse and nearly fainted. Five millions of dollars! Why, it made my head swim.I must have sat there stunned and blinking at the note as much as a minute before I came rightly to myself again.The first thing I noticed, then, was the landlord. His eye was on the note, and he was petrified. He was worshiping, with all his body and soul, but he looked as if he couldn't stir hand or foot. I took my cue in a moment, and did the only rational thing there was to do. I reached the note towards him, and said, carelessly:"Give me the change, please."Then he was restored to his normal condition, and made a thousand apologies for not being able to break the bill, and I couldn't get him to touch it. He wanted to look at it, and keep on looking at it; he couldn't seem to get enough of it to quench the thirst of his eye, but he shrank from touching it as if it had been something too sacred for poor common clay to handle. I said:"I am sorry if it is an inconvenience, but I must insist. Please change it; I haven't anything else."But he said that wasn't any matter; he was quite willing to let the trifle stand over till another time. I said I might not be in his neighborhood again for a good while; but he said it was of no consequence, he could wait, and, moreover, I could have anything I wanted, any time I chose, and let the account run as long as I pleased. Hesaid he hoped he wasn't afraid to trust as rich a gentleman as I was, merely because I was of a merry disposition, and chose to play larks on the public in the matter of dress. By this time another customer was entering, and the landlord hinted to me to put the monster out of sight; then he bowed me all the way to the door, and I started straight for that house and those brothers, to correct the mistake which had been made before the police should hunt me up, and help me do it. I was pretty nervous; in fact, pretty badly frightened, though, of course, I was no way in fault; but I knew men well enough to know that when they find they've given a tramp a million-pound bill when they thought it was a one-pounder, they are in a frantic rage against him instead of quarreling with their own near-sightedness, as they ought. As I approached the house my excitement began to abate, for all was quiet there, which made me feel pretty sure the blunder was not discovered yet. I rang. The same servant appeared. I asked for those gentlemen."They are gone." This in the lofty, cold way of that fellow's tribe."Gone? Gone where?""On a journey.""But whereabouts?""To the Continent, I think.""The Continent?""Yes, sir.""Which way—by what route?""I can't say, sir."百万英镑中文版百万英镑(马克.吐温)二十七岁那年,我正给旧金山的一个矿业经济人打工,把证券交易所的门槛摸得清清楚楚。

马克.吐温《婴儿》(中英文)
马克吐温的祝酒词《婴儿》1879年11月13日主席、各位来宾:“婴儿”是我们每人都曾有的特点。
我们不幸不能生为女人,我们也并非都是将军、诗人或政治家,但是话题说到婴儿时,我们便有了共同点——因为我们都曾是婴儿。
(听众大笑)这世界数千年来一直都不曾为婴儿庆祝过,好像他不值什么东西一样,这实在是一大可耻之事。
各位先生,请你们仔细想想,如果你们退回几十年前,当你们刚结婚不久,你们有了第一个孩子,那你们就会记起婴儿实在等于太多的东西了,甚至比其他任何事都更重要。
(听众再度大笑)所有的军人都知道,当这位小家伙来到你的家中时,你就得呈递辞职“书”,而他则完全掌管了全家,你变成了他的仆人、随从,随时要站在旁边听候命令。
他不是那种按照时间、距离、天气或者其他事情付给你薪水的指挥官,但你不管在任何情况下都执行他的命令,而且在他的战术手册中,行军的方式只有一种,就是跑步。
(群众大笑)他用各种最粗野无礼的态度对待你,但即使你们中间最勇敢的人也不敢说一句违抗的话。
你可以面对死亡的风暴并予以还击,但他用手紧抓你的胡子,扯你的头发,拧你的鼻子时,你只得忍受。
(听众大笑)当战争之雷声在你耳际响起时,你面对炮弹以稳健的步伐向前迈进;当他发出惊吓的呼叫时,你却掉头向他冲去。
当他要吃能安慰他的糖果时,你敢不立即服务吗?不!你会马上去拿他需要的东西!如果要喝奶,你敢反抗吗?不会的,你一定是立即把奶热好,甚至还会吸一吸这热好的、无味的奶水,看看温度是否适当,成份是否弄对了——3匙水、1匙奶粉、一点糖。
我现在还没有尝过这个东西呢!(听众大笑,笑声震天)你这样下去倒是学会了不少事情。
较富感情的人仍然相信一个美丽的古老传说:婴儿如果在睡觉时微笑,是因为天使在对他说话。
这个传说很美,但实在太不可信了,朋友们。
(听众大笑)如果你的婴儿提议每天早晨两点半做例行散步,你难道不是马上爬起来,并强调那是你就要做的事吗?啊!你是受过很好训练的,而当你穿着“不整齐的制服”(群众大笑)在房间里来回不安地走着时,你不只是学着婴儿的语调说话,还会用含有母性的声音唱着催眠曲,例如“宝宝睡”。
