两个感恩节的绅士
两个感恩节的绅士导读: 两个感恩节的绅士文/欧·亨利斯塔弗·皮特坐在联合广场喷泉对面人行道旁边的第三条长凳上。
九年来，每逢感恩节，他总是不早不迟，在一点钟的时候坐在老地方。
但是，斯塔弗·皮特今天出现在一年一度的约会地点，似乎是出于习惯，而不是出于饥饿。
皮特一点儿也不饿。
来这儿之前他刚刚大吃了一顿，如今只剩下呼吸和挪动的力气了。
他的衣服当然褴褛，衬衫前襟一直豁到心口，可是夹着雪花的十一月的微风只给他带来一种可喜的凉爽。
因为那顿特别丰富的饭菜所产生的热量，使得斯塔弗·皮特不胜负担。
那顿饭完全出乎他意料之外。
他路过五马路起点附近的一幢红砖住宅，那里住有两位尊重传统的老太太。
她们派一个佣人等在侧门口，吩咐他在正午过后把第一个饥饿的过路人请进来，让他大吃大喝，饱餐一顿。
斯塔弗·皮特去公园时，碰巧路过那里，给管家们请了进去，成全了城堡里的传统。
斯塔弗·皮特朝前面直瞪瞪地望了十分钟之后，觉得很想换换眼界。
他费了好大的劲儿，才慢慢把头扭向左面。
这时，他的眼球惊恐地鼓了出来，他的呼吸停止了，他那穿着破皮鞋的短脚在砂砾地上簌簌地扭动着。
因为那位老先生正穿过马路，朝他坐着的方向走来。
九年来，每逢感恩节，这位老先生总是来这儿寻找坐在长凳上的斯塔弗·皮特，总是带他到一家饭馆里去，看他美餐一顿。
老先生又高又瘦，年过花甲。
他穿着一身黑衣服，鼻子上架着一副不稳当的老工眼镜。
他的头发比去年白一点儿，稀一点儿，而且好象比去年更借重那支粗而多节的曲柄拐杖。
斯塔弗·皮特眼看他的老恩人走近，不禁呼吸短促，直打哆嗦。
“你好。
”老先生说，“我很高兴见到一年的变迁对你并没有什么影响，你仍旧很健旺地在这个美好的世界上逍遥自在。
仅仅为了这一点幸福，今天这个感恩节对我们两人都有很大的意义。
假如你愿意跟我一起来，朋友，我预备请你吃顿饭，让你的身心取得协调。
”老先生每次都说同样的话。
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。

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.
About his life
William Sydney Porter was born in Greenboro, North Carolina. His father was a physician. When William was three, his mother died, and he was raised by his parental（父亲的） grandmother and paternal aunt. William was an avid reader, but at the age of fifteen he left school, and then worked in a drug store and on a Texas ranch. He continued to Houston, where he had a number of jobs, including accountant,land board clerk, repo the author’s compassion on the poor. ◆The pure and honest love between the young couple easily strikes a sympathetic chord in the reader’s mind. ◆In Della’s “dim eyes” and Jim’s smile lies an irrevocable sorrow that creates an appealing aesthetic effect. ◆The sacred feeling means an unspoken protest against the injustice of the society.

感恩节的两位绅士
感恩节的两位绅士各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢感恩节的两位绅士欧·亨利当你从东边走进联合广场时，斯塔弗·皮特就坐在喷泉对面人行道右边的第三张长椅上。
九年来，每到感恩节，他就会在一点钟准时坐到那儿。
他每次这样做，都准会碰到些意外的事——类似于查尔斯·狄更斯的奇遇，以至于他的背心总会胀得鼓鼓囊囊的，背后也是一样。
可今天，斯塔弗·皮特出现在每年固定的约会地点似乎并不是因为一年一度的饥饿，而只是因为习惯罢了。
慈善家们似乎总觉得，穷人们总要隔上这么长一段时间才会被饥饿折磨。
皮特当然不会觉得饿。
因为他刚刚享用了一顿丰盛的大餐，这会儿勉强只剩下呼吸和移动的力气了。
他的眼睛就像两颗浅色的醋栗，牢牢地嵌在一张肿胀的、油光光的灰色面具上。
他急促而艰难地喘息着，一圈参议员似的脂肪组织让他翻上来的衣领完全失去了时髦的品位。
尽管他的衣服破旧得很，衬衫前襟的裂口一直开到胸口，但十一月的微风夹杂着纷飞的雪花，给他带来的却是宜人的凉爽。
那顿丰盛得过了头的大餐所产生的热量已经让斯塔弗·皮特不堪重负了。
那顿大餐以牡蛎开始，以葡萄干布丁结束，其间包括了(在他看来)这世上所有的烤火鸡、烤土豆、鸡丁沙拉、南瓜馅饼和冰淇淋。
因此他撑得鼓胀胀地坐在那儿，带着酒足饭饱后的满足，轻蔑地瞅着这个世界。
他压根儿就没料想到会有这样一顿大餐。
他刚巧路过第五大道起点处的一幢红砖公寓，里面住着两位出身于古老家族、相当遵从传统的老太太。
她们甚至不肯承认纽约的存在，坚信感恩节仅仅只是为华盛顿广场而设立的。
她们的传统习惯之一就是叫一个仆人在后门口守着，吩咐他在正午的钟声敲响之后，把第一个饥饿的过路人请进来，让他美美地吃上一顿。
斯塔弗·皮特在去公园的路上刚好经过，被管家请了进去，总算是维护了城堡的传统。
斯塔弗·皮特呆呆地注视着前方，十分钟后，他突然觉得很想换个角度瞧瞧。
他费了老大的劲儿，慢慢地把头转向左边。
欧亨利的作品介绍
The Gift of the Magi
"The Gift of the Magi" concerns a young couple who are short of money but desperately want to buy each other Christmas gifts. Unbeknownst to Jim, Della sells her most valuable possession, her beautiful hair, in order to buy a platinum fob chain for Jim's watch; unbeknownst to Della, Jim sells his most valuable possession, his watch, to buy jeweled combs for Della's hair. The author arranged the entire plot just to get the readers to wait, to cause an suspense, the pleasurable excitement and anticipation of the outcome. From the beginning, the readers keep guessing what the Jim and Della will buy for each other, and the coincidence of their gifts is the greatest suspense the author put in his article.

Summary
There is an appointment that the Old Gentleman invites the poor man named Stuffy Pete to dinner on every Thanksgiving Day. But this year, the 10th Thanksgiving Day, before Stuffy meets the Old Gentleman, he has been invited to a big meal, however, he doesn’t want to upset the Old Gentleman, and follows him to a restaurant and eats up all the food. Finally, they both faint away（晕倒） on their way home, and they are both hospitalized（送· · · 进医院治 疗）. Stuffy faints away for he is so full. On the contrary, the Old Gentleman is weak, because he has eaten nothing for three days.

Impression
They don’t understand or pretend not to understand that honesty is the biggest fortune humans own, and that it is the prerequisite（先决条件） for doing everything well.
斯塔弗知道老绅士的想法，所以他并没有把自己已 经饱餐一顿的事情告诉老绅士，而是惯例地跟着老绅士 去到一家餐馆，把老绅士点的东西全部吃光光。

5. They part as they do each year at the door, the Old Gentleman going south, Stuffy north. Then they both faint away on their way home, and they are hospitalized at last.

Characteristics of his works: careful plotting, ironic coincidences, and surprise endings
他们就像以前一样，在门口分了手。老绅士朝南走， 斯塔弗朝北走。然后，在回家的途中，他们都晕倒了，最 后被送进医院。

6. Stuffy faint away for he is so full. On the contrary, the Old Gentleman is weak, because he has eaten nothing for three days.

But this year, on the 10th Thanksgiving Day, before Stuffy meets the Old Gentleman, he has already had a big meal, because he passes by a mansion（豪宅） in which live two old ladies of ancient family and a reverence（崇敬、敬畏） for conditions, and one of their traditional habits is to admit and banquet（宴请） the first hungry wayfarer（旅人） to a big meal, who passes through their doorway after noon.
In short, bear in mind that we should be honest all the time.

On every Thanksgiving Day, the poor man Stuffy Pete takes his seat in Union Square to wait for the Old Gentleman who invites him to dinner, which seems to an appointment, even a convention.
Impression
However, in this modern society, it seems that more and more people believe in money at the sacrifice of honesty. Take Sanlu Milk Powder Incident as an example.
斯塔弗晕倒是因为吃得太饱。相反，那个老绅士 身体很虚弱，几乎快饿死了，因为他已经有三天没吃 一点东西了。
Characters
Stuffy Pete, undereducated, tries his best to finish his dinner so as to fulfill the old gentleman’s wish. At the beginning, he would have told the old gentleman that he was full. But he doesn’t, he chooses to obey the appointment. The old gentleman, who owns only a little money, still keeps an appointment to invite the poor man to dinner. He thinks highly of honesty, not money. He would rather starve than break his promise.

Honesty
Impression
Honesty is very important in many aspects of our life. If we are honest, we will be trusted and respected by others. By contrast, once you lie, people will never believe you even if you tell the truth. A good example of this is the story "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".
但是今年，第10年的感恩节，在斯塔弗见老绅士之前，已 经享用了一顿丰富的大餐，因为他刚巧经过一幢住宅，里面住 着两个出身于古老家族、尊重传统的老太太，她们有一个传统 习惯就是在正午过后把第一个饥饿的过路人请进来，让他美美 地吃上一顿。
3. Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years, the Old Gentleman has found Stuffy, led him to a restaurant and watched him eat a big dinner. That is a tradition that he is trying to make. Moreover, he is a staunch（忠诚的） American patriot（爱国者）, and considers himself a pioneer（先锋、先驱） in American tradition.
