1889年，吐溫達到了另一項成就—英國皇室。他的「在亞瑟王朝廷裏的康涅狄格州美國人」 (A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court) 一書是關於一個回到亞瑟王時代的小男孩 。吐溫取笑這些不靠自身努力，依附家族關係而得利的人。假如您不曾讀過馬克吐溫的任何一本作品，試試在亞瑟王朝廷裏的康涅狄格州美國人或頑童流浪記吧！它們絕對能令您發笑。


In 1889, Twain took on another establishment -- British royalty. He wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, about a boy who travels back to the time of King Arthur. Twain made fun of those who were given advantages not because they had earned them but because of their family connections. If you have never read any of Mark Twain's works, try reading A Connecticut Yankee, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, or The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. They will make you laugh.
