Lesson 9            Mark Twain ---Mirror of America 

1. a man who became obsessed with the frailties of the human race  

a man who became constantly preoccupied by the moral weaknesses of mankind  

2. Mark Twain digested the new American experience before sharing it with the world as writer and lecturer.  

Mark Twain first observed and absorbed the new American experience, and then introduce it to the world in his books or lectures.  

3. The cast of characters set before him in his new profession was rich and varied…

Inhisnewprofessionhecouldmeetpeopleofallkinds.

4. Broke and discouraged, he accepted a job as reporter with the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise…  

With no money and a frashated feeling, he accepted a job as reporter with Territorial Enterprise in Virginia City ...  

5. Mark Twain began digging his way to regional fame as a newspaper reporter…

Hebeganworkinghardtobecamewellknownlocallyasanewspaperreporterandhumorist.

6. and when she projects a new surprise, the grave world smiles as usual, and says 'Well, that is California all over. '" 

and when California makes a plan for a new surprise, the solemn people in other states of the U.S. smile as usual, making a comment "that's typical of California"  

7. Bitterness fed on the man who had made the world laugh.  

The man who had made the world laugh was himself consumed by bitterness.  

Lesson 10        The Trial That Rocked the World 

1. we'll show them a few tricks  

We have some clever and unexpected tactics and we will surprise them in the trial. 

2. The case had erupted round my head...  

The case had come down upon me unexpectedly and violently.  

3. The fundamentalists adhered to a literal interpretation of the Old Testament.  

The fundamentalists believe in a word-for-word acceptance of what is said in the Bible.  4. that all animal life, including monkeys and men, had evolved from a common ancestor.  that all life had developed gradually from a common original organism  

5. "Let's take this thing to court and test the legality of it."  

Let's accuse Scopes of teaching evolution and let the court decide whether he is breaking the law or not.  

6. People from the surrounding hills, mostly fundamentalists…

People from the nearby mountains, mostly fundamentalists, came to support Bryan against those professors, scientists, and lawyers who came from the northern big cities and were not fundamentalists.  

7. As my father growled, "That's one hell of a jury!

"  

As my father complained angrily, "That' s no jury at all. " 

8. He is here because ignorance and bigotry are rampant.  

He is here because unenlightenment and prejudice are widespread and unchecked.  

9. Spectators paid to gaze at it and ponder whether they might be related.  

People had to pay in order to have a look at the ape and to consider carefully whether apes and humans could have a common ancestry.  

10. and the crowd punctuated his defiant replies with fervent "Amens"  

and the crowd, who were mainly fundamentalists, took his words showing no fear as if they were prayers, interrupting frequently with "Amen"
