摘要

Those who have read "Roughing It" or "Life on the Mississippi" or "Pudd'nhead Wilson" will have seen Mark Twain's flair for technical descriptions and definitions. You know that he liked nothing better than turning a challenging process or device or term into a clear picture for the reader. His descriptions of a quartz mill, of assaying, and of pocket mining in "Roughing It" are models of fine technical style, as are his descriptions of sounding in "Life on the Mississippi" and fingerprinting in "Pudd'nhead Wilson". His definition of "lagniappe" is a classic. But Mark Twain was more than a practitioner of technical writing: he was also a theorist about the qualities of the writing craft. His novels, letters, essays, and miscellaneous prose are sprinkled with comments on writing, comments that can be made to read like a set of rules. And that is what the author does in this article: he turns these scattered comments into a list.
机译：那些读过“粗加工”或“密西西比河上的生活”或“ Pudd'nhead Wilson”的人将看到马克·吐温的天赋，以进行技术描述和定义。您知道，他没有什么比将具有挑战性的过程或设备或术语变成清晰的图片更好的了。他在“ Roughing It”中对石英磨，化验和袋装采矿的描述都是精美的技术风格模型，在“密西西比河上的生活”中的发音和在“ Pudd'nhead Wilson”中的指纹描述也是如此。他对“ lagniappe”的定义很经典。但是马克吐温不仅仅是技术写作的实践者：他还是关于写作技巧的理论家。他的小说，信件，散文和其他散文都充斥着写作评论，这些评论可以像一套规则一样读起来。这就是作者在本文中所做的：他将这些分散的评论变成一个列表。
