It is a cutesy little speech concerning the weather in New England and how abysmal it can be, but it is far from being his most memorable speech.

مارک تواین میگه مردم نیو اینگلند به صبر و با حوصلگی مشهورن، ولی هر شاعری که میگه بهار زیباس رو به قتل میرسونن. کسی که میگه بهار زیباس احتمالا تصورش آب و هوای بیرون نیو اینگلنده

توی این سخنرانی به جواهر شاه ایران اشاره میکنه که منظورش ناصرالدین شاهه چون زمان مارک تواین و زمان نوشته شدن این اثر، شاه ایران ناصرالدین شاه بوده.

Weather isn't for the "whole day" in New England as it is elsewhere.
