Abstract
The year’s biggest news is the completion of Autobiography of Mark Twain, its third volume giving us Twain’s full autobiography for the first time, a work that will confound many, especially general readers, but that provides a treasure trove for scholars and critics. Also notable are a huge study of Twain’s humor, a provocative book about Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and two books about Mark Twain and China. Book chapters and articles span Twain’s career, with examinations of some works that are often overlooked. This year shows that Mark Twain studies are as alive as ever.
今年最大的新闻是《马克·吐温自传》(Autobiography of Mark Twain)的完成，它的第三卷首次为我们提供了马克·吐温的完整自传，这部作品可能会让许多人感到困惑，尤其是普通读者，但它为学者和评论家提供了一个宝库。同样值得注意的还有对吐温幽默的大量研究，一本关于《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》的引人入胜的书，以及两本关于马克·吐温和中国的书。书中的章节和文章涵盖了吐温的职业生涯，并对一些经常被忽视的作品进行了考察。今年表明，马克·吐温的研究一如既往地活跃。
