美国著名幽默讽刺大师,马克•吐温的写作风格随着社会的发展以及他对社会的认识加深,从前期的幽默发展到后期的辛辣讽刺。他笔下的人物从精神空虚、无所事事的市井平民,到为窃取政治地位的政客们,以及为了金钱不顾廉耻、人格的“上等公民”们的拙劣表演,对我们认识当今美国社会的丑恶现象仍有现实意义。句子不通顺本文对马克土温不同时期的代表小说进行研究（用词太大，你只是介绍了故事梗概）,并对其中所反映的社会现象进行研究（同样，用词太大）.从而可以发现小说的种种社会现象其实是我们生活中的真实写照.（你要讨论的是在MARK TWAIN所讽刺的现象在现今社会仍旧存在，从而看出MARK TWAIN 的小说对现代社会的意义和价值）

关键词：马克•吐温；社会现象；幽默与讽刺

Finally, we can conclude that the all kinds of social phenomenon in fact are the true description in our lives.
