當他上了火車，列車員要看他的車票時，馬克#8226;吐溫到處找票，但是沒找著。

The conductor said， “If you can’t find it， it doesn’t matter. Show me your ticket when you come back.” 這位列車員認識馬克#8226;吐溫，她說:“如果你找不到，也沒什么關系的。等你回來時，讓我看看你的票。”

“Oh， no!” Mark Twain said， “If I can’t find it， how can I know where I am going?”“噢，不可以，”馬克#8226;吐溫說，“我必須找到車票，如果我找不到它，我怎么知道我去哪兒啊?”

3. But Mark Twain makes a humorous remark that the attendant bursts into laughter. “The mosquito is so smart. It watches me check in so that it can call on me in the evening.” 但馬克吐溫很幽默地說了一句話，逗得旅館員工哈哈大笑。“這蚊子也真夠聰明的，竟會事先看我登記房間，以便晚上拜訪我。”

4. This evening Mark Twain sleeps soundly. The staff turned out to drive off all the mosquitoes together. 這一夜，馬克#8226;吐溫睡得很香甜。原來，旅館員工一齊出動，把蚊子全轟跑了。
