马克吐温《卡拉维拉县驰名的跳蛙》

nullnull卡拉维拉县驰名的跳蛙 ——马克·吐温The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County英本1001班 吴虹霓 BackgroundBackgroundThe Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” was first published in 1865, when Mark Twain was living in the American Southwest, which was still in the process of being settled. The Industrial Revolution had brought machinery and factories to the eastern United States, but most of the country, particularly areas west of the Mississippi River, still relied on the land for economic development. Much of the land in the West was devoted to cattle, and the U.S. government was involved in battles and embroilments with various Native American tribes in order to obtain more land. The West’s growing population was influenced by both the Homestead Act of 1862, which promised free farms to families, and by the discovery of gold in California in 1848. As a result of this discovery, mining towns and camps, such as Angel’s Camp where Twain sets “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,” were established throughout California and the western United States.Characters人物介绍Characters人物介绍I 叙述者 an upper class gentleman 知识阶层的绅士 nullSimon wheeler 西蒙·维勒 A rough, rude, uneducated miner 粗鲁无知的采矿工人 Jim smiley 吉姆·斯迈里Jim smiley 吉姆·斯迈里A pitiable guy living on betting 嗜赌为命的可怜虫Plot 情节Plot 情节A friend asked me to visit Simon wheeler, hoping to get some information about a man named Leonidas Simon.
