”欧·亨利说。
虽然欧·亨利是个著名的作家，可是他的生活依然拮据。
也许正是因为这样，欧·亨利常常关注社会底层小人物的命运，了解他们悲惨无援的处境和苦恼孤寂的心态。
贫困算什么？悲惨算什么？苦恼算什么？他们依旧幸福，因为他们拥有比财富更珍贵的——爱。
《麦琪的礼物》，让我真正体会到爱能够超越自我最珍惜的东西。
圣诞节来临，德拉为了给丈夫杰姆买个表链配他最爱的金表，剪掉自我最心爱的犹如瀑布般美丽的长发，卖了20元替杰姆买了表链。
杰姆为了给妻子德拉买套梳子梳她美丽的长发，当掉了自我最心爱的金表，替德拉买了套梳子。
当杰姆和德拉互换礼物时，彼此都惊呆了。
梳子无法再梳美丽的长发了，表链也无法再配闪亮的金表了，可是这时的他们是最幸福的，因为他们在分享甜蜜的感情。
也许这是一个包含点点遗憾的故事，可无不透露点点的感动呢？！《爱的牺牲》让我真正体会到爱能够超越自我最钟爱的事业。
一对追逐艺术的年青艺术家夫妇，背井离乡到纽约去深造，却因家境贫困难以施展报复。
于是妻子为了生计中断学琴去教音乐，丈夫停止学画而去中央公园一边画画一边出售成品画作。
两人虽然中断了学业，却都没有离开艺术。
然而，一齐偶然的事故让事情的真相暴露出来。
原先，妻子并没有“教音乐”，而是为了丈夫能够“卖画”在洗衣坊烫衬衣；丈夫并没有“速写卖画”而是为了妻子能够“教音乐”在洗衣坊做烧火工。
虽然同在一个洗衣坊，可是妻子在二楼，丈夫在一楼，所以他们一向没有见过面。
这样，他们为了对方不放弃艺术，制造一个美丽的谎言。
严酷的生活虽然使他们都放弃了最钟爱的艺术事业，但他们的爱却感人至深。

Characteristics of language
• Metaphor(暗喻)
• In O. Henry’s writings, metaphor is a feature which is worth mentioning. The image in metaphor represents specific meaning. But the symbolic image remains uncertain in its possible meanings; it is usually a substantial image in its own right, around which further significances may gather according to differing interpretations.
Characteristics of language
• 3 The plot
• ► In plot, O. Henry’ s novels develop fast and in the end suddenly appear an unexpected ending. The so-called “O. Henry-type ending” usually refers that at the end of the novel suddenly the character’s mind changes in an unexpected situation, or the fate of the main character reverses sharply, the result is unexpected, but reasonable, in line with the reality of life, resulting in a unique artistic charm.

感恩节的两个绅士欧亨利
感恩节的两个绅士欧亨利There is one day that is ours. There is one day when all we Americans who are not self-made go back to the old home to eat saleratus biscuits and marvel how much nearer to the porch the old pump looks than it used to. Bless the day. President Roosevelt gives it to us. We hear some talk of the Puritans, but don't just remember who they were. Bet we can lick 'em, anyhow, if they try to land again. Plymouth Rocks? Well, that sounds more familiar. Lots of us have had to come down to hens since the Turkey Trust got its work in. But somebody in Washington is leaking out advance information to 'em about these Thanksgiving proclamations.有一天是属于我们的。
到了那一天，只要不是从石头里迸出来的美国人都回到自己的老家，吃苏打饼干，看着门口的旧抽水机，觉得它仿佛比以前更靠近门廊，不禁暗自纳闷。
祝福那一天吧。
罗斯福总统把它给了我。
我们听到过一些有关清教徒的传说，可是记不清他们是什么样的人了。
不用说，假如他们再想登陆的话，我们准能把他们捧得落花流水。

• “Leaves. On the ivy vine. When the last one falls I must go, too.” • The ivy tree was still there.
• Johnsy and Sue are artists who move into Greenwich Village in New York City. As Winter approaches and the weather gets colder, Johnsy becomes ill with pneumonia. She gets so sick that she believes that when the last leaf falls from the vine outside her window, she will die. An old artist, named Behrman, who lives in the same building as the girls, braves a storm one night to paint a leaf on the wall — a leaf that will never fall. Cold and wet from painting in the icy rain, he catches pneumonia and dies. This gives Johnsy the hope to survive her illness, and it also creates the masterpiece Behrman had always dreamed of painting
