馬克‧吐溫短篇小說選：純愛英文館（簡體書）

作者：（美國）馬克·吐溫（Mark Twain）

《馬克?吐溫短篇小說選》由美國作家馬克·吐溫編著，在美國西部幽默傳統的基礎上，發揮了極度夸張的藝術想象。《馬克?吐溫短篇小說選》以第一人稱“我”為主人公。這個“我”大都天真、老實，思想單純，什么事情都一廂情愿，結果常常事與愿違。

"What， Sandy， a nobleman from Hoboken？ How is that？""Easy enough Duffer kept a sausage—shop and neversaved a cent in his life because he used to give all his sparemeat to the poor， in a quiet way. Not tramps， —no， theother sort—the sort that will starve before they will beg—honest square people out of work. Dick used to watchhungry—looking men and women and children， and trackthem home， and find out all about them from the neighbors， and then feed them and find them work As nobody ever saw him give anything to anybody， he had thereputation of being mean； he died with it， too， and everybody said it was a good riddance； but the minute helanded here， they made him a baronet， and the very firstwords Dick the sausage—maker of Hoboken heard when hestepped upon the heavenly shore were， 'Welcome， SirRichard Duffer！' It surprised him some， because hethought he had reasons to believe he was pointed for awarmer climate than this one."
All of a sudden the whole region fairly rocked under thecrash of eleven hundred and one thunder blasts， all let offat once， and Sandy says，
—"There， that's for the barkeep. "
I jumped up and says， —
"Then let's be moving along， Sandy； we don't want tomiss any of this thing， you know. "
"Keep your seat，" he says； "he is only just telegraphed， that is all. "
