书籍简介：
"The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" by Mark Twain is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. In this particular tale, the narrative follows an American mining-broker’s clerk who, through a series of fortunate events, comes into possession of a million-pound bank-note. Stranded in London with no means but this note, he embarks on a comedic exploration of social status, wealth, and human nature, highlighting the absurdities of society and the hustle of life in a foreign city. At the start of the story, we meet a protagonist who finds himself in dire circumstances after being carried out to sea and working as a common sailor to reach London. Consequently, his only asset is a mysterious, untouched million-pound bank-note that he is skeptical about using. The plot unfolds as he navigates a world that reacts to him as a wealthy man due to the note’s presence, despite his initial poverty, leading to unexpected social interactions and reflections on worth and reputation. This premise sets the stage for Twain's characteristic wit, humor, and insightful commentary on human behavior amid the disparities of wealth and social class.

马克·吐温的《100万英镑钞票》是19世纪末写的短篇小说集。在这个特殊的故事中，故事讲述了一位美国矿业经纪人的职员，通过一系列幸运的事件，他获得了一张100万英镑的钞票。他被困在伦敦，除了这张纸条别无他法，他开始对社会地位、财富和人性进行喜剧性的探索，突出了社会的荒谬和外国城市的喧嚣生活。在故事的开头，我们遇到了一个主人公，他被带到海上，作为一名普通水手到达伦敦后，发现自己处境艰难。因此，他唯一的资产是一张神秘的、未被触碰的百万英镑钞票，他对使用这张钞票持怀疑态度。尽管他最初很贫穷，但由于这张纸条的存在，他在一个对他有富人反应的世界中航行，导致了意想不到的社会互动以及对价值和声誉的反思。这一前提为吐温在财富和社会阶层差异中对人类行为的独特机智、幽默和富有洞察力的评论奠定了基础。
