你好,我叫 Finn,我来帮你读懂这本书。
来了,像给10岁的你讲的那样:
汤姆·索亚宁愿去钓鱼、在想象里当海盗、去寻宝，也不想坐在学校或教堂里。他哄得朋友们花钱替他刷篱笆，还在半夜的墓地里目睹了一件危险的事，又在山洞里迷了路。这本书就是把音量开到最大的童年。
整本书用英文阅读。这里是所有章节:
Most of the adventures recorded in this book really occurred; one or two were experiences of my own, the rest those of boys who were schoolmates of mine. Huck Finn is drawn from life; Tom Sawyer also, but not from an individual—he is a combination of the characteristics of three boys whom I knew, and therefore belongs to the composite order of architecture.
The odd superstitions touched upon were all prevalent among children and slaves in the West at the period of this story—that is to say, thirty or forty years ago.
Although my book is intended mainly for the entertainment of boys and girls, I hope it will not be shunned by men and women on that account, for part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remind adults of what they once were themselves, and of how they felt and thought and talked, and what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in.
The Author.
Hartford, 1876.
