14. A Story about Mark Twain • <<FILM>> • Mark Twain was a famous American writer. He wrote many stories, and many of them were funny stories. These stories are still read by many people all over the world. Besides writing, he also liked hunting and fishing very much, so one year he went to Maine for a holiday and spent three very pleasant weeks in the woods there. • When he had to go back home, he drove to the station with his baggage. There he asked a porter to put it into the train. Then he got into the smoking car and sat down in one of the comfortableseats there. The car was empty when he got in, but a few minutes later, another man got in and sat down on the seat opposite his. Mark Twain looked at the man and thought that this man looked quite unpleasant. However, it would be impolite to say nothing in that situation, so he said good morning to the man, and they began to talk. • First they talked about the weather and then they talked about Maine. The stranger said, “We have some beautiful woods in Maine. It would be a pityto come to Maine without spending some time there. I suppose you have been in our woods, haven’t you?” • “Yes, I have,” answered Mark Twain, “I’ve just spent three weeks there and I had a very good time, too. And let me tell you something. Although fishing isn’t allowed in Maine at this season, I’ve got two hundred pounds of beautiful fish with my baggage in this train. I like to eat fish, so I packed it in ice to take it home with me. May I ask who you are, sir?” • The stranger looked at Mark Twain for several seconds and then answered, “I’m a police officer. My job is to catch people who hunt and fish during the wrong seasons. And who are you?” • Mark Twain was surprised and frightened when he heard this. He thought quickly and then answered, “Well, I’ll tell you, sir. I’m the man who tells the biggest lies in America.” • Chinese

15. 一則關於Mark Twain的故事 • 馬克吐溫是個出名的美國作家。他寫了許多故事，其中很多都很有趣，至今在世界各地人們仍讀著這些故事。除了寫作之外，他也非常喜歡打獵和釣魚。所以，有一年他到緬因州度假，在那兒的森林度過了非常愉快的幾個星期。 • 當他必須結束假期回去時，他開車帶著行李到火車站。在那兒他請了個挑夫將他的行李搬到車廂內，之後，他就進到抽煙車廂找個舒服的位置坐下。當他進去時車廂內還沒人，但幾分鐘後，另一個人進來並坐在馬克吐溫的對面。馬克吐溫看著他，感覺這個人並不高興的樣子。然而，在這樣的情況下不說話，他認為是不禮貌的。所以他就先和那人打招呼，接著就開始聊起來。 • 他們先聊聊天氣，接著聊到了緬因州。那陌生人說：「我們緬因州有些很漂亮的森林，如果到這兒來卻沒去森林走走，會是很可惜的。我想你應該有去過我們的森林吧？」 • 馬克吐溫回說：「是的。我剛在那兒過了幾個禮拜，而且非常地愉快。還有我跟你說，雖然在現在的季節釣魚是不被允許的，但我在火車上的行李箱內有兩百磅的新鮮的魚呢！因為我喜歡吃魚，所以我就用冰塊把魚包好一起帶回家。對了，還沒請教你是誰？」 • 那陌生人看了馬克吐溫一會兒，回答說：「我是個警官，我的工作就是抓那些不該打獵或垂釣的人。你是誰呢？」 • 聽到這話，馬克吐溫既吃驚又害怕。但他腦筋轉得很快，就回答說：「坦白告訴你，我是美國最會撒謊的人。」
