前言
I will set down a tale as it was told to me by one who had it of his father,which latter had it of his father, this last having in like manner had itof his fathermand so on, back and still back, three hundred years andmore, the fathers transmitting it to the sons and so preserving it.It maybe history, it may be only legend, a tradition. It may have happened, itmay not have happened: but it could have happened. It may be that thewise and the learned believed it in the old days;.it may be that only theunlearned and the simple loved it and credited it.

作者简介
作者:(美国)马克·吐温(Mark Twain)
马克·吐温(Mark
Twain),生于美国密苏里州一个贫穷的拓荒者家庭。幼年在密西西比河边过着无拘无束的生活。13岁时做过印刷所的学徒,此后从事过水手和领港员等多种工作。这些丰富的阅历对他日后的文学创作产生了很大的影响。他因创作处女作《加利维拉县有名的跳蛙》(1865)而声名鹊起。此后,陆续发表了《汤姆·索亚历险记》(1876)、《密西西比河上的生活》(1883)和《哈克贝恩·费恩历险记》(1885)等作品,成为美国文学的代表性作家。马克·吐温的文笔犀利幽默,文字清新有力,角度自然独特,被誉为“美国文学领域的林肯”。
马克·吐温一改往日承袭欧洲文风的做法,转而描述美国人眼中的一切。他娴熟地运用俚语,自成一派风格,在美国现代文学方面做出了不可磨灭的贡献。

章节摘录
插图:By and by Tom's reading and dreaming about princely life wroughtsuch a strong effect upon him that he began to act the prince, unconsciously.His speech and manners became curiously ceremonious and courtly, tothe vast admiration and amusement of his intimates. But Tom's influenceamong these young people began to grow, now, day by day; and in time hecame to be looked up to, by them, with a sort of wondering awe, as a superiorbeing. He seemed to know so much! and he could do and say such marvelousthings! and withal, he was so deep and wise! Tom's remarks, and Tom'sperformances, Were reported by the boys to their elders; and these, also,presently began to discuss Tom Canty, and to regard him as a most giftedand extraordinary creature. Full-grown people brought their perplexities toTom for solution, and were often astonished at the wit and wisdom of hisdecisions. In fact he was become a hero to all who knew him except hisown family——these, only, saw nothing in him.Privately, after a while, Tom organized a royal court! He was theprince; his special comrades were guards, chamberlains, equerries, lordsand ladies in waiting, and the royal family. Daily the mock prince wasreceived with elaborate ceremonials borrowed by Tom from his romanticreadings; daily the great affairs of the mimic kingdom were discussed inthe royal council, and daily his mimic highness issued decrees to his imagi-nary armies, navies, and vice-royalties.After which, he would go form in his rags and beg a few farthings, eat hispoor crust, take his customary cuffs and abuse, and then stretch himself uponhis handful of foul straw, and resume his empty grandeurs in his dreams.And still his desire to look just once upon a real prince, in the flesh,grew upon him, day by day, and week by week, until at last it absorbed allother desires, and became the one passion of his life.
