欧亨利的笔名是从何而来的呢？其实就来自于欧 亨利那段逃亡生涯当中一次很偶然的机会。 欧亨利逃亡到洪都拉斯的时候混得是相当差，于 是他又跑回了新奥尔良。没进监狱之前在这混迹了很 长时间，波特的文学生涯其实也是从这会儿开始的， 而他的笔名也是拜此所赠。 新奥尔良当时有一家人人皆知的酒吧，大家都把 它叫做烟厂酒吧，酒吧老板叫做亨利。 一天，波特和两个记者在酒吧里一边聊一边吃 东西，聊到兴头的时候，波特转身跟老板喊：噢，亨 利！再照样来一份。几个人在这等着菜，波特从口袋 里掏出一篇写好的稿子说，弟兄们，我不想署上自己 的名字，我可是一个通缉犯，我用什么名字才好呢？ 一个记者听到了，马上灵机一动对他说：何不 干脆就署上噢亨利呢？！这就是欧亨利的来历，你不 是天天在这喝酒吗，把这个名字挂在嘴上。 于是他就拿起了面前的稿子，在上面签上了欧亨 利的笔名。
C.笔名来历
His pseudonym（笔名）： It is believed that Porter found his pen name while in jail, where one of the guards was named Orrin Henry. Other sources say that the name was derived from his calling “Oh Henry!” after the family cat, Henry. Guy Davenport wrote that the name was a condensation of “Ohio Penitentiary”（俄亥俄监狱）
