1、世界名著顽童流浪记My name is Huckleberry Finn, but it is too long, so everybody calls me Huck. Have you ever read a book called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer? It is a story about Tom Sawyer and me. Tom is my best friend.This is the story: Tom and I found the money that some robbers hid in a cave and it made u

2、s rich. Each of us got six thousand dollars. When Judge Thatcher learned this, he said, Ill keep the money for you. Ill give you one dollar every day. It is not good for young boys to have lots of money.Widow Douglas took me as her son. She said, Huck, stay with me. Your father has gone somewhere. I

3、ll take good care of you and make you a good boy. So I decided to stay with her. She was very kind, but I didnt feel comfortable there because her sister Miss Watson lived with us. She always tried to teach me reading and writing. I didnt like to study so much at home.One day, after supper, I went u

4、p to my room with a piece of candle and put it on the table. Then I sat down in the chair by the window. I tried to think of something cheerful, but it was no use. I felt so lonesome that I wanted to die. The stars were shining in the sky, and the leaves rustled in the woods. Then I thought I heard

5、a Me-yow! me-yow! in the distance. A cat was coming closer and closer. When it came to our house, it stopped. That was good. Now I said, Me-yow! me-yow! Then I put out the light and scrambled out of the window, and slipped down onto the ground.There I found Tom Sawyer in the dark. We went along a pa

6、th among the trees. We were very careful not to make a noise. I followed Tom till we got to the edge of the hilltop. There we could see the whole village with three or four lights twinkling, and the Mississippi River.We went down the hill and saw Jo, Rogers, and two or three more boys.After Tom made

7、 everybody swear to keep it a secret, he showed them a hole in the hill in the thickest part of the bushes. Then we lit the candles and crawled in on our hands and knees. We went about two hundred yards and there the cave opened up. Then we went along a narrow place and got into a room which was dam

8、p and cold.When we stopped there, Tom said, Now, well form this band of robbers and call it Tom Sawyers Gang. What do we do? said one of the boys.Only robbery and murder, Tom answered.Little Tommy was asleep now, and when the boys woke him up, he was scared. He cried, and said, I want to go home to

9、Mammy. I dont want to be a robber any more. So they all made fun of him and called him cry-baby. That made him mad and he said, I will go home and tell everyone about the secret.But Tom gave him five cents to keep him quiet. He said, All of us will go home and meet next week. Then well rob somebody

10、and kill some people.Ben said the only days he could go out were Sundays. But other boys said it was not right to do something wrong on Sundays. So they agreed to get together and fix a day as soon as possible.Then we elected Tom Sawyer first captain of the gang and we all went home. When I got into

11、 my room through the window, the sun was already beginning to rise.My daddy had gone somewhere. I had not seen him for more than a year. That was fine with me. I didnt want to see him any more because he often hit me when he had no money to buy whiskey.We played robbers now and then for a month and

12、then I resigned. All the boys did, too. We robbed nobody, and we killed nobody, either.Three or four months passed, and winter came. I went to school every day. I could spell and write a little now and could say the multiplication table up to six times seven is thirty-five. At first I hated school,

13、but by and by I was able to stand it. I got used to the widows ways, too.One day I went to the front garden. There was an inch of snow on the ground. I found somebodys tracks there. They were my daddys, I thought. When I lit my candle and went up to my room that night, there sat Daddy. I shut the do

14、or. He looked very old. His hair was long and his clothes were just rags. There was no color in his face. He looked like a sick man.He said, You seem to be very happy and rich. They say you have six thousand dollars. I came here to get some money from you. Give me that money tomorrow. I have no mone

15、y and Im very poor.Judge Thatcher has got it. I dont have any money with me now, I said. But when he knew I had one dollar, he took it and said he was going downtown to get some whiskey.The next day he was drunk and went to Judge Thatchers and tried to make him give upthe money, but he couldnt. Then

16、 he came to me again and told me not to go to school. He didnt think I needed to learn how to read and write. So when he saw me going to school, he always hit me.One day he came to the widows house where I lived. He took me up the river about three miles in a boat. We crossed over to the Illinois sh

17、ore, where there was an old cabin. He kept me with him all the time, so I never had a chance to run off. We lived in that old cabin and he always locked the door, and put the key under his head every night. He had a gun which he had stolen. He went hunting wild animals with it. I fished in the Missi

18、ssippi. Wild animals and fish were all we got for our meals. Almost every other day he locked me in and went to town. He traded game and fish for whiskey, and brought it home and got drunk.I didnt go to school for a month. At first I wanted to go back to school because I was beginning to enjoy study

19、ing. But by and by I got lazy. Then I thought it comfortable to lie or fish every day instead of studying.Daddy started to go to town or somewhere else more often than before. One day he locked me in and did not return for three days. I was very lonesome. I thought he had drowned. It was then that I

20、 made up my mind to leave the cabin. I tried to get out of the cabin many times, but I couldnt find a way out. There wasnt a window big enough for me to get through. Daddy never left a knife or a hammer behind when he went away.When Daddy was home, we made it a rule to go to the river bank to see if

21、 there were some fish on the lines for breakfast. One morning he woke me up and we went up to the bank. I saw some pieces of wood and logs floating down. I knew the river had risen. The June rise always brought me a lot of money, because as soon as the rise began, some logssometimes a dozen logsfloa

22、ted down together. All I had to do was to get them and sell them to the sawmill.All at once, there came a canoe, about thirteen or fourteen feet long. I jumped into the water and caught hold of the canoe. I was all wet, but it was all right. There was nobody in it. I climbed in and paddled it ashore

23、. I thought, Daddy would sell itit is worth ten dollars. I decided to hide it in the little creek which was covered with the branches of willow trees. When Daddy came, I said, I fell into the water and thats why Im all wet.We caught five catfish and went home. After breakfast I thought of running of

24、f somewhere in the canoe. About twelve oclock we went up to the bank again. The river was running pretty fast and lots of wood drifted. We went out in Daddys small boat and got some of the logs and took them ashore.The next day Daddy locked me in and started for the sawmill in town to sell the logs.

25、 His small boat went very slow as it towed the raft, so I thought he wouldnt come back that night. As soon as he left, I took my saw and began to try to make a hole in the wall. After an hour I could make a hole which was big enough for me to get through. Now I was busy preparing my escape.I took a

26、sack of cornmeal and carried it to the canoe. Then I took some bacon, coffee and sugar, some ammunition, two blankets and other useful things. I took the axe with me, too.I crawled out of the hole and dragged out my things. I worked hard to restore the wall and the floor to its former condition. The

27、n I took the gun and went into the woods. I shot a wild pig and took it back to the cabin. I smashed the door open with the axe, then I cut the pigs throat. I laid it down on the floor near the table to let it bleed. Next I took an old sack and put a lot of big rocks in it. I dragged it to the door

28、and through the woods down to the river. At last I pulled out some of my hair, put some of the pigs blood on the axe, and stuck it in the backyard. I threw the pig into the river so that nobody would see it. I did all these things, because I wanted to make Daddy think I was killed by someone and was

29、 taken away somewhere.It was getting darker and darker. I waited in the canoe for the moon to rise. I said to myself, They will think that robbers killed me and will search the river for my dead body. But soon theyll get tired of it. Then Ill be free. Then I can go anywhere and live by myself.I was

30、going to go to Jacksons Island when it was dark. I was so tired that I fell asleep. When I woke up, I didnt know where I was for a minute or two. After a while, I remembered that I was still in the canoe.The moon was bright, so I could count the drifting logs a hundred yards away from shore.I had no

31、 time to lose. In a great hurry I left the shore. I rowed the canoe slowly at first. Then I rowed it as fast as I could till I reached Jacksons Island. I got to shore on the Illinois side. I hid the canoe well so that nobody could find it. I sat down on a log at the head of the island. I looked over

32、 the dark river. About three miles away, I could see the town where several lights were twinkling.The sun was high when I woke up. I guessed it was after eight oclock. I lay there in the grass and cool shade. I felt comfortable and satisfied there. A couple of squirrels sat on a branch and spoke to

33、me. I was too lazy to cook breakfast. Then I thought I heard a loud sound Boom! way up the river. Soon I heard it again. I went to see what it was. I saw a ferryboat that was full of people. They were firing a cannon over the water and were trying to make my body come up to the top of the water. I w

34、as very hungry then, but it was dangerous to make a fire to cook. I thought, If they see the smoke on the island, they will come and catch me.They floated loaves of bread for the drowned body. I waited at the waters edge for the bread to come. After a while a big loaf came along, but I missed it. Wh

35、en the second loaf came near the shore where I was, I got it with a long stick. Then I sat down on a log among the leaves and began to eat it while watching the ferryboat. When the boat came very close to the island, I could see everybody on itDaddy, Judge Thatcher, and Tom Sawyer, and his old Aunt

36、Polly. They were watching carefully to find my body somewhere on the shore. When the boat went out of sight, I felt I was all right.I got my things out of the canoe and made a kind of tent with the blankets. I caught a catfish and cooked it. It was a very big catfish. When it got dark, I started my

37、campfire and had supper. Then I caught some more fish for breakfast. But by and by I got lonesome. So I went to the bank and counted the stars and drifting logs and rafts that came down, and then I went to sleep.I did the same thing for three days and three nights. On the fourth day I decided to exp

38、lore the island. I found plenty of ripe strawberries. At first I thought I was deep in the woods, but I wasnt far from the shore of the island. Although I had my gun along, I shot nothing. Once I almost stepped on a big snake. It went away slithering off through the bushes. I ran after it and came t

39、o a place where there were ashes of a campfire. It was still smoking.I was very surprised to find it there. I looked around and listened carefully, but I saw nobody around. When I got back to my camp, I didnt feel safe. Then I got everything into the canoe again. I put out the fire and scattered the

40、 ashes around.I climbed one of the trees and stayed there for two hours, but I saw nothing.At last I got down, but I stayed in the thick woods and I was on the lookout all the time. I was very hungry because I had only had berries to eat all day. So when it was dark, I started to cook supper in the

41、woods.I said to myself, I have to stay here all night. Just then I heard somebody coming along. I put back everything in the canoe. I slept in it that night, but I couldnt sleep well.As soon as the morning came, I went back to the place where I had heard the sound of footsteps. I went slowly and loo

42、ked out through the leaves. To my surprise, it was Jim! Jim was Miss Watsons black boy. I never thought I would see him in such a place.Hello, Jim! I said. When he saw me, he bounced up and looked at me with his mouth open. Oh, dont hurt me. I havent done anything bad to ghosts. Youre Hucks ghost, a

43、rent you? Please go away, said Jim. So I told him how I came to the island. At last he understood. I was so glad to be with him. I wasnt lonesome anymore.Then I said, Lets cook something for breakfast. Lets make a good campfire.What is the use of making a campfire? To cook strawberries? You have a g

44、un, and we can get something better than strawberries, said Jim. I came here the night after you were killed. I havent had anything to eat since then. So we went over to my canoe, and while Jim was building a fire, I brought some cornmeal, bacon and coffee, as well as the coffee pot and the frying p

45、an.I caught a big catfish. Jim cleaned it with his knife. When breakfast was ready, we sat on the grass and ate it. Jim was so hungry that he had two cups of coffee, three pieces of fish and a lot of bacon and corn bread.Huck, who was it that killed you in the cabin? Jim asked as soon as he finished

46、 eating.I told him the truth. Then I asked him, did you come here? He didnt say anything for a minute, but then he said, Never tell this to anybody. In fact, I ran off. The other day, a slave trader came to Miss Watson. I knew she was going to sell me to him. So I decided to run off. I came here in

47、the boat which I stole. His eyes were full of tears. When I told him that I didnt blame him, he looked happy.I wanted to go and look at a place in the middle of the island. So we went out to the place. Soon we arrived at the place, because the island was only three miles long and a quarter of a mile

48、 wide. This place was a very long steep hill about forty feet high. The sides of the hill were so steep, and the bushes were so thick that we had a hard time getting to the top.There we found a cavern which was large enough for two rooms. Jim could stand in it. He said, Lets bring in our things from

49、 the canoe. Here we will never be found. Without dogs, they will never find us. By the way, it looks like rain. Young birds are flying low. We had better bring our things here at once.So we went down to the place where the canoe was hidden. Jim carried all the things we had. I took some fish off the

50、 lines and began to get ready for supper. There was a flat space near the door of the cavern. It was a good place to build a fire, so we cooked dinner there.We spread the blankets inside, and ate our dinner there. Soon it got dark and began to rain. The wind blew hard, too.This home of ours is reall

51、y comfortable, Jim. Pass me another piece of fish and some hot corn bread, I said.It rained for two weeks. So the river kept on rising, too. At last the water was three or four feet deep. As soon as it stopped raining, we went all over the island. Though the weather was very hot, it was cool in the

52、woods. On every old broken tree, we saw rabbits, snakes and other small animals. One night we were up at the head of the island. Just before the sun was up, we found a two-story house floating down. We went over to it in the canoe, and got on it. Jim and I went upstairs at first, but it was too dark

53、 to see anything. We waited until the sun was up.When it became bright enough, we saw a table, a bed, and two old chairs, and other things on the floor. To my surprise, there was a man lying there! Hello, wake up. Its morning, Jim said to him. But he didnt move. Soon we found that he was dead! Its a

54、 dead man. He was shot. He has been dead for two or three days, said Jim. He told me not to look at his face.On the floor, there were a womans old dresses and a hat. There were a mans clothes, an old tin lantern, a butcher knife, and some candles. We put everything that seemed useful in the canoe. T

55、hen we went back to the island.After breakfast, I wanted to talk about the dead man, but Jim didnt want to.I was very happy to find eight dollars in the jacket of the dead man. Oh, youd better not take that money from him. It belongs to him, Jim said.The next morning I felt bored, so I decided to go

56、 across the river and find out what was going on. Jim said, Thats a good idea, but youd better wear those womens clothes and dress up like a girl. So I wore the clothes and a girls hat.Nobody will know you, even in the daytime. But you have to walk like a girl, said Jim. So I practiced all day, and

57、at last I was able to walk like a girl. When it got dark, I started off in the canoe. I arrived at the town in an hour. Then I tied up the canoe and began to walk along the bank. There was a light shining in a little house. I wondered who lived there. I got close to it and looked inside. There was a

58、 woman who was about forty years old. She was knitting by a candle on a table.I knocked on the door. While knocking, I told myself not to forget that I was a girl. , said the woman. When I went in, she said, Take a seat. She looked at me with her little shiny eyes. Whats your name? said the woman.Sa

59、rah Williams. Where do you live? In this neighborhood?No, maam. In Hookerville, seven miles below. Ive walked all the way and Im very tired. Hungry, too, I guess.No, maam. I was so hungry that I had to stop at a farm on my way here. So Im not hungry now. My mother has been sick, and we have no money

60、. Im going to visit my uncle. He lives at the upper end of the town. Abner Moore is his name, I said. I dont know him because I have lived here for only two weeks. Its quite a long way to the end of the town. Youd better stay here tonight. Take off your hat, she said.No, thank you. Ill rest here for

61、 a while and then Ill move on. Im not afraid of the dark, I said. I wont let you go alone. When my husband comes back, hell take you there. She kept on talking. But she didnt say a word about what was going on in the town. At last she said, I know Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, who found all that

62、money.She knew about Daddy, who was drunk every day. We have often heard about Huck, who was killed when his father was out, she said.Who killed him? Some people say his father did. But others say Huck was killed by Miss Watsons slave Jim. He ran off on the same day when Huck was killed. So if you c

63、atch him, you can get a three-thousand-dollar reward. They will give you two hundred dollars if you catch Hucks father. Everybody around my house is trying to catch them and get the reward. I am, too.Do you think you can find either of them? How and where do you look for them? Well, they may live on

64、 that island over there. Ill try some day with my husband, because I saw smoke over there the other day.When the woman stopped talking, I looked up. She was looking at me curiously.What did you say your name was? she asked.M Mary Williams. I thought you said it was Sarah when you first came in.Oh, y

65、es. I did. Sarah Mary Williams. My first name is Sarah. Is that right? But tell me your real name. Is it Bill, or Tom, or Bob? I really didnt know what to say. Dont worry. Im not going to hurt you. I know youre a runaway. Why did you run away? Tell me all about it, she said.My parents are dead and I was sent to an unkind farmer. He treated me very badly. So I ran awa
