2016年纪念币 2016 Commemorative Coins Commemorative Coin Program Honors a Unique American Voice 优异的纪念币计划是一个独特的美国声音 Samuel Langhorne Clemens–better known as Mark Twain–was born in Florida, Mo., on Nov. 30, 1835, and raised in Hannibal, a port city near the Mississippi River that would later become the setting for many of his beloved writings. 塞缪尔·兰霍恩·克莱门斯，有着一个更广为人们所熟知的名字——马克·吐温。马克·吐温于1835年11月30日出生在密苏里州的佛罗里达，生长在密西西比河附近的汉尼拔港口城市，而这里将成为他许多心爱作品的背景。 Clemens held several jobs, including printer’s apprentice, riverboat pilot and miner, before finding success as a writer and journalist. It was during a stint at a Nevada newspaper that he began writing under his celebrated pseudonym. Soon thereafter, he experienced his first taste of success when his short story “Jim (微笑) and His Jumping Frog” was published in newspapers nationwide. 克莱门斯干过多项工作，在他成为一名成功的作家和记者之前，曾当过印刷厂学徒、内河领航员和矿工。在内华达从事新闻写作过程中，他创建了他著名的笔名。不久后，他的短篇小说《吉姆的微笑和他的跳蛙》发表在全国性的报纸上，他第一次体验了成功的滋味。 Few authors have influenced American culture like Mark Twain. He is remembered today for addressing the complex social issues facing America at the turn of the century, including the legacy of the Civil War, race (关系) and the economic inequalities of the “Gilded Age.” 很少有作家像马克·吐温那样影响了美国的文化。因为他点出了当今美国在世纪之交所面临的、要解决的社会复杂问题，包括内战遗留问题、种族关系和经济不平等的“镀金时代”，因此他被美国人民所牢记。 Twain remains one of the best-known Americans in the world, with more than 6,500 (版本) of his books translated into 75 languages. His literary and educational legacy remains strong even today. Nearly every book he wrote is still in print, including “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”–both of which have never gone out of print since they were first published more than a century ago. 吐温仍然是世界上最著名的美国人之一，他的书被翻译成75种语言，超过6，500个版本。即便在今天他的文学和教育主张依然具有极高的传承意义。几乎他写的每一部书还在印刷，而如《汤姆·索亚历险记》和《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》，这两本书从一个世纪以前首次出版以来，就从末绝版。 The Legislation立法Public Law 112-201, enacted on Dec. 4, 2012, authorizes the United States Mint to strike and issue 100,000 $5 gold coins and 350,000 $1 silver coins to commemorate Mark Twain’s life and legacy.
