young
man
in
million
pounds
is
a
true
portrait
of
Mark
Twain.
In
Nevada,
Mark
Twain
was
a
reporter
in
Virginia,
a
city
rich
in
gold
and
silver.
Under
the
gold
rush(淘金热)
Mark
Twain
was
not
immune,
and
he
was
sensitive
to
rumors
and
new
opportunities.
At
that
time,
many
miners
who
had
discovered
gold
and
silver
mines
were
selling
their
shares(股票)
in
New
York
City
to
raise
funds,
so
Mark
Twain
put
all
his
savings
and
even
all
his
contributions
into
the
stock
purchase
of
silver
mine.As
the
stock
price
rose,
he
became
very
rich
and
came
to
Los
Angeles
to
live
a
luxurious
life.
But
then
one
day,
like
the
Internet
bubble
in
the
late
twentieth
Century,
the
enthusiasm
of
the
market
for
silver
stocks
disappeared,andsharepricesflewdown.MarkTwin,
liketheyoungmaninthemillion
pound,
became
penniless
or
even
bankrupt.
