At certain periods it becomes the dearest ambition of a man to keep a faithful record of his performances in a book; and he dashes at this work with an enthusiasm that imposes on him the notion that keeping a journal is the veriest pastime in the world, and the pleasantest. But if he only lives twenty-one days, he will find out that only those rare natures that are made up of pluck, endurance, devotion to duty for duty's sake, and invincible determination may hope to venture upon so tremendous an enterprise as the keeping of a journal and not sustain a shameful defeat.

马克吐温的游记有趣，可能看原文会更有味道。

前面很有带入感，入境要隔离检疫……后面就是按照圣经的路线朝圣，写作风格都不太一样了

前面欧洲部分的游历很有意思，后面到中东开始朝圣就索然无味。可能是我对宗教故事不太耐受。

犀利讽刺甚至刻薄的语气是马克•吐温最典型的风格，这篇四十多万字的地中海中东北非游记，既描绘了异国风土人情，又讲述沿途奇闻逸事。同时，除了游记，还不停地嘲讽美国人的庸俗无知，尤其是对基督教进行了豪不留情面的嘲讽。感觉翻译上很“达”，用了很多成语俗语，读起来顺口，与作者的嘻笑怒骂风格相吻合，但不知这种译法是否能保持原文的味道。

马克吐温应该不信上帝吧？
