Mark Twain was famous for his humorous and satirical style. In the book "The Dangers of Being in Bed," he uses train accident insurance as an example to tell us that we don't need to buy accident insurance on the road. But on days when we don't need to travel, we do need to buy accident insurance. At first, I was puzzled as to why. But he explained with a series of data and personal experiences that only a small number of people die in trains, and most of them die naturally in bed. I still don't quite understand what the author wants to express here. At the end of the article, he once again emphasizes that we should try not to be in bed, and only careless people will complain too much about trains. We spend our whole lives trying to avoid things that seem dangerous, only to find that the end of life is in our own beds at home, which is a satire on life.
